You know I will!
The sick part is, and this is a long story, but there's things I am not at liberty to discuss on-line (Frank knows) that have a huge impact. When Danager was here I pulled one out and handed it to him while the music was playing. He heard the sound field collapse, looked at this little doo-dad in his hand and was all, "What the??!?!!"
Experiences like this make it quite clear we do not really understand very much about what is going on. But if I say something like that, just today I said "maybe you will understand" and the poor guy went all MDS on me. But that is the stone truth: we do not understand very much of what is going on!
Yes there are things we do understand, or seem to understand, very well. When those come up it would be dishonest and a disservice to pretend otherwise.
But I will let you in on a little secret. If there is one thing that could be called my secret weapon it is that I am fully prepared to admit I don't really know what is going on. Why? Because the minute you are sure you know, you stop looking.
If I was so arrogant and certain as the haters make out then I never would have tried HFT, ECT, PHT, springs, TC, Townshend, Moneoone, Schumann, DBA, on and on.
Every single one of those was a risk in that it could well have been a flop. Instead, almost all were a total success.
There is a thought process that goes into it, but it is so hard to explain, don't know if I could even if I tried. What I can do is show by example. That is why I keep making the point I have been able to make some really killer purchases for going on 15 years now without ever auditioning any of them. There is a thought process. Maybe people can learn by watching, I don't know. But I assure you as hard as it is to explain nevertheless it is there! It is skill not luck- and this is vitally important to understand because if I am right and it is a skill then that means it can be learned. You can do it too.
That is my fondest wish.
