...why do you ask?

Thanks. It helps me understand why you are so negative on the benefits of equipment upgrades. And why you are so close minded about listening vs measurement tests.

Please no long-winded reply. Can you keep it pithy?

@ozzy 

Well, since I went to the trouble of listing my equipment at your request:

Can you explain how my equipment list "helped you understand" that?

(And your conclusion is, unfortunately, a misrepresentation anyway of my view.  Look again at what I wrote to fsonicsmith1.  It's easy to throw out the label "close minded" but can you find anything actually 'close minded' or unreasonable in what I wrote?).

prof,

I'm only going by your total comments thus far in these forums.

@ozzy

Why are you avoiding the question? You are now referencing my previous comments, but not my equipment list. My question concerned what you wrote.

You asked me to list my equipment. When asks why, you told me that my equipment list helps you understand why I am (to use your incorrect characterization) " so negative on the benefits of equipment upgrades. And why you are so close minded about listening vs measurement tests."

So...please...explain HOW my equipment list helped you reach that conclusion.

That’s what you wrote. I’m asking for you to explain.

What’s in my equipment list that supports your conclusion?

Are you avoiding this question because it turns out I don't listen exclusively via cheap "Chi Fi" gear? ;-)
