ah yes, the good old days of Chris and the flat earth society. In conjunction with the Linn/Naim marketing steamroller they did a pretty good job of brainwashing the British audio mindset for well over a decade, and managed to have the dealers who blinked at their demands fall into liquidation in quick succession.
I think a lot of us finally lost Jimmy when both he and Ed Paul Benson fell in with Peter Belt and went straight down the rabbithole - last I heard he was clamping strange devices to his water pipes.
A good summing up.
Yes, the emergence of Peter Belt was a step too far for me too.
Good explanation too about shuffling resonances out of where they do most harm.
Perhaps I should have explained in greater detail.
After all I was there in person when Russell himself not only explained his approach but demonstrated it at the UK Hi-Fi Show a few months ago.
That's also the goal of Harbeth if I remember correctly.
Although they both use a lot of science in their designs, they take a different approach to get there. Harbeth favour lossy cabinets to Russell K's listening by ear.
Perhaps ultimately it's just a question of where you want to put the emphasis.
