Bob Burwen imparts his knowledge

@cleeds Well, its actually Dick, but I can't bring myself to calling another man that name, unless he deserves it.

I would venture to say he's done just fine proving it outside of court...in the actual industry. But yes, to each their own.

A very interesting listen.

@giantsalami Inded!

simplified, all you need is tone controls or an EQ.? I'm pretty new at this, but, I think some of his points are wrong. I have read many posts and gathered information to build my systgem in the last 3 years from AGon and believe using quality from the outlet up helps all the way around. I do not have a high end system by any means, but every point of my build has been adressed and improved until this point...and i am sure it will continue. love this little hobby!

I'm not sure to congratulate you or express my condolences. This hobby is quite the adventure!! :-)

IMO you have to be open to perspective from those who've proven themselves technically or can back up their opinions with provable fact, not more opinion. Audiogon is often time lacking that perspective. I'd recommend taking in as much info as you can and applying it to your situation...see what works for you. But at the same time, don't be dismissive, particularly when it comes to the technical aspects of this hobby. Many hear have developed the philosophy that "If I don't agree with it, I'll never admit if I don't understand it, so its false."

Applied perspective is what makes this hobby so fun. What works for you, may or may not work for me, but I'm willing to try it and see. Then, pass on what you've learned to someone else.

All the best to you @giantsalami
