@geoffkait ,
Asked Alan if he had a simple, direct answer as to why he says that positive ions affect AV quality. Alan has dealt with that topic, at least indirectly, with those of us in his facebook group before, but I'd never seen where he'd boiled any of that down to a single idea. As I was afraid of, he said it was a very complex answer. He did give me a quick rundown of identifying the main topics involved and then stopped and asked if that was enough or if he should go on. I said no, that that was sufficient, even though it was clear from the technical nature of what he describing that a much more informed background in physics on my part would better help me understand the details and that I'm not nearly qualified to factually verify it.
Geoff, if you just have to know what he said, you can pm me, but when I told him I was asking to use the answer in a forum, he demured on allowing it in this case since he felt that no one would understand the science and he was of the opinion that any arguments along those lines it might produce would likely be bad for business anyway, so if you did pm me about it I would hope you would respect his wishes as I do. Been dealing with him the past 8 yrs and he's never done anything to me except to do me right...I have no reason to go against that.
