Charles- I'm open to learning, considering other approaches and contributing where I can. I can also enjoy a good debate, but after too many years on the intraweb, don't have any interest in sniping, at George or anybody else. I enjoy (and enjoy sharing) the excitement of discovery, the fundamentals of 'best practices' in set-up, the detective work of trouble shooting (not easy in void of hyperspace) and fiddling with tweaks that don't cost a fortune. I also enjoy hearing from others who consider this an adventure. There are many here that seem to approach things the same way- they don't discount novel or antiquarian approaches ( although there may be some legitimate skepticism); but, at bottom, folks here are often willing to jump in and spend real time, thought and energy to help somebody troubleshoot a problem or answer a question. (I've certainly benefitted from that over the years here).
As somebody put it in relation to a discussion about the sonic differences among various pressings of the same record, it is still more art than science in a lot of ways, even though sound engineering principles should underlie what we do.
I'm not dumping on George, but find the endless drum beat to be monotonous, and ultimately, counterproductive, at least for me.
