Jay23 ...
"Do you have one such hour of masters that you’ve worked on and know as well? Yeah, I didn’t think so."
On that point, you would be wrong, Jay. You’re making ridiculous statements without knowing what you’re talking about.
1. I have hundreds of hours of master tape recordings. They are stunning.
2. You lied about your "friend" being unable to return his Gate. I know for a fact that not one PPT customer has attempted to return a Gate once purchased.
3. Had your "friend" not liked the Gate, there wouldn’t be a "past the trial period." The return policy still would have been honored. That’s just the way they do business at PPT. Plus, with the exception of "Total Contact" there’s a 90-day return policy on everything sold by PPT. Is your "friend’s" hearing and/or system so bad that he/she couldn’t discern what the Gate was doing within 90 days? Come on man, you are way too transparent.
4. Your assertion that the Gate "colored the sound" isn’t true either. The Gate doesn’t color sound. It purifies the AC throughout the entire house/office/recording studio, and allows one to hear what is actually on the recording. Perhaps you and your "friend" should reevaluate your recording/mastering skills.
Honestly, if you’re going to post here, the least you can do is to tell the truth.
Finally Jay ... why is it that we never see you and georgehifi in the same place at the same time?
