Brave man, McGowan...

Teo: “There are plenty of other forums that are 'flat earth maintenance' forums in the context of audio - that serve that need. ”

You don’t understand. He is here on purpose. Nothing to teach, and no one to “turn” on those forums you mentioned. Like a missionary, he goes where his religion is not spread yet. That’s what he is doing. On purpose. Plenty of “poor souls” he is targeting in these forums.

atdavid,

Again, you miss my point.

It is simple.

You don’t know everything.

As for me attacking the inventive capacity of some in the engineering end of the pool, no, not at all ...that is your projection, a repeated error of yours. I said no such thing. Eg, Faraday was completely uneducated and self taught.

You seem to be spending an inordinate amount of your time and life energy to force this forum and it’s denizens to fit your mindset and projections about the nature of audio and exploration within it.

Your ideas on scientific rigor and how you apply it here, and against all in front of you.... on this forum....... are patently blind. You are, by your own text and screed, IMO and IME... out of your depth in many areas, and you can’t see it... or refuse to see it.

However, a good imagination and ability construct a model out of it is actually a very good thing for scientific exploration! You seem to be very good at this. one thing though (among many) is to no fool oneself with it. Admirable, commendable, in my book. But not in how you do it, here, on this forum. And I say this not with an aura or air of authority, no, no game, just communication of a observation that might be in the ball park.

In this crazy level of over the top posting frequency of posts (set to average 8000 posts in a year, if the average continues), posts with very specific directions and intent... you do the forum, it denizens..and audiogon as a company and endeavor...harm. Relentless, ceaseless, misinformed... harm.

This not an egoic game of one upsmanship. Just get over whatever it is you need to get over (your blind spot)... and move on. Thanks.

Stalkers welcome. I have a bunch in my stable already but there’s always room for one more. Even UNstable ones. Get it? Unstable.

Actually you do attack engineering all the time. You seem to do it in most posts. Faraday was born in 1791. It was not uncommon for someone not to have a formal education at that time. What relevance does that have?  He spent most of his life performing Formal scientific work, that he published for review by his peers. He used formal scientific methods, he made measurements. He did not simply makes claims and say "trust me".

Reading your posts, the point of them appears to be egoistic. Critically they lack substance most of the time, so other than to support your ego, why do you make them?

This is an interesting "claim" below. If I am "out of my depth", then why are people like you unable to specifically point out where my statements are wrong and use anything but "you are wrong" when doing it, never backing it up with anything meeting a respectable standard of "information" or "proof".  One of the few who argued with relevant information curiously enough, at the time grouped me in with thyname, uberwalz, etc.   

You are out of your depth in many areas, and you can’t see it... or refuse to see it.

Who cares how many posts I make. It is my time. I can choose how I make use of it. Given the lack of anything useful in many of your posts, why do you post at all?   What service do you think you perform here by arguing with me, while not providing any evidence to support the claims of your products?

Atdavid Ethan: But you never teach anything! You just slam whatever anyone else posts as snake oil. You refuse to even post your current setup, for some stupid “insurance” excuses.

So let’s get started, first thing first: what speakers do you have? I am eager to learn from the “pros”

You said you work in the industry as a consultant. What do you exactly consult on? And you consult individuals or businesses? Just a slight disclosure as to who you exactly are here would help.
