What covid research can teach us about audio measurements.

The problem is the measurements most manufacturers list aren't always that important, if they listed all the measurements it might be a different story.

The article cited by the OP discusses using MRI to visually observe Xenon labeled gases diffuse across the alveolar membrane.  It's cool but not a breakthrough.  We have been able to measure the same paramater for decades; Diffusion Capacity is a routine part of Pulmonary Function Testing that can be done in any hospital lab.   

    In audio terms this would be like measuring distortion.  Imagine if a new technology came along that could tell you the same thing that old technology already tells you.

   Not sure how this relates to any particular topic here.  It doesn't begin to tell us if doing measurements are worthwhile, only that there is another way to do them

You noticed that too? You'll find that some here seem to have an inside track with Admin and get posts they don't like deleted immediately whereas the offensive ones they started with remain up even after being tagged as offensive. 

My last two, which were responses to offensive remarks, were removed without email notification from Admin. Talk about a rigged election!

It's like dealing with the Harper Valley PTA on bath salts. They clutch their pearls so tightly, they have waffle patterns on their palms. And, to think, that a lot of the audio community reads these threads but don't dare post here because of them. If they could, this would be a much better place for audio enthusiasts. 

Maybe a DM to Tammy can sort things out. The last time this happened, someone else contacted her and she was unaware of just who was doing this.

All the best,

It really is something else and to your point, I commented on another thread where an Audiogon member wanted someone to setup a fake account on Steve Hoffman forums so they could troll. Guess who’s post was removed? Not the trolls....

I read through many threads and posts before I made my first post and how, to me, can an appropriately moderated forum allow all of these ghost accounts, like the ones I mentioned in my post that still resides in this thread. Yes, you may have guessed I had another post pointing out the absurdity of users with multiple accounts and it was removed.

If the term snowflake applies to anyone, and I hate the use of these stupidly assigned names to certain groups, well it applies to the thin-skinned here who post and then run to mommy moderator when another post makes them feel bad.

If the moral of the story is science and technology does not stand still, gee thanks Sherlock! Let’s see if this revelation  helps convert any knuckle draggers into lesser knuckle draggers.
