For Your Edification and Enjoyment re "Burn In", etc.

I dont think audio2design is some sort of troll or has some failing I just think he and others feel some need to save us from ourselves and our hard earned dollars which I dont understand. This camp does usually seem to imply either gullibility or stupidity which is a bit frustrating. I defer to them as being wiser, more educated and having better hearing. But for now I thank the stars that I am stupid and gullible. Also you can throw in a bit of first world decadence for good measure.

Thanks for the laughs. I needed that.

All the best,

On first joining this site a few years ago one of my first interactions was with this one guy who I first thought was sincere but misinformed. We do such a lousy job teaching science and I thought that's all it was. Immediately though it became clear this guy was not at all earnest, he was in fact using what little knowledge he had to insult, confuse, and demean.  

This was my first time coming across a bona fide psychopath and so rather than leap to that conclusion I did a little web searching to try and prove the guy wasn't as malevolent as he seemed. 

No such luck. What turned up instead was a guy who met him at a show and said he enjoys mocking, tricking, and ridiculing audiophiles. But that was just one guy, so I kept looking. Turns out he also has a website that deserves a Guinness World Record for word salad and audiophile mockery. Although I fail to see the humor in charging a grand to improve your system with a phone call.  

Since then I have seen a number of these, sad individuals with nothing better to do. Well it is a public forum. Like a sidewalk in a big city, you are going to have to walk past the occasional howling mad. A good metaphor. When you see them, look away. Do not engage. Nothing good will come of it. 

Walk on by.

The biggest burn in you can do is warm up your system with music on for hours before you actually listen critically and warm up your cartridge with at least two albums to loosen the suspension or your system will never reach the sound you paid for no matter what you buy.

How would you possibly know what I spend on audio and obviously you do care...alot. This much is obvious and it is really confusing. Just the fact that you state we are wasting our money really doesnt help your position not knowing what we own. Scientific facts achieved through psychic abilities I guess. So what do I own? I am thinking about it right at this moment.

I defer to all as providers of information and then I wade through what mirrors my experience. My silly stuff has nothing to do with science but I never ever bloviate. With your permission I will contact the moderators to make this a bloviate free zone. 

Near tears. When we interact I feel like I just had the underwear in high school dream. You may not be making this stuff up but I think you are confused in when and how to apply. Science is not static nor is it as pure as some would like. Science is also full of scientists that create a methodology which at its very core is intended to do nothing more than prove their initial hypotheses correct.

So you decided on getting this current gig after designing the Hadron Collider? You did say about contributing to science so this is the scale which I thought was in keeping with the bloviating in paragraph 2.

And yes I am trying to have a bit of fun and to take a bit of starch out of your britches.
