Well, here I sit in the middle of a hurricane, watching my windows be almost as all wet as what I see on my terminal. Mr. K's comments are quite confusing to me. He agrees, then goes off and uses sarcasm (and has to point it out, too) to disagree with what he just agreed with, and then insults recording engineers (some of whom deserve it, some of whom don't.) and so on. In his article, Mr. K says quite a few nasty things about 'technocrats' and seems to imply that I'm one, by his defination, even though I said (using different words) the same thing he did about the audio industry. I'm offended by his extraction from context of parts of my article, and the convenient excision of the place that I said "If you hear something, and you don't measure it, you're measuring the wrong thing". I guess I should expect this kind of behavior on nut.audio, but it really has no place anywhere, and it only serves to reinforce various managers' opinions of what nutnews is all about. I guess that one could say the same thing about nutnews that one could say about this hurricane, namely that nutnews misses the mark by about as far as the hurricane missed us. Lots of sound, fury, hot air and running water, but no real substance. (Fortunately, I don't live on Long Island! Then I'd feel differently!) -- SUPPORT SECULAR TEDDY-BEAR-ISM.
