Hello Tom,Seems we have some friends in common Nick M of Lambda (well he used to be anyway) and Paul B (TAD Restoration Project) I believe he restored and modded a pair of TAD's for you, no? In fact Paul was over this weekend installing my Paul B. restored & modified pre-1990 TAD 2001's on my horns. In any event I just wanted you to know I'm not some audio kook. These are some of the people I hang with and talk audio with personally, which is so much better than on forums, don't you agree?
I realize there's a vast electronics world that has nothing to do with audio. I'm surprised to hear you say, unless you are being sarcastic of course, that things like skin effect, dielectric absorption, stray inductance are things that govern electronics in the MHz, are minor in audio. I don't consider them minor at all. In fact IMHO skin effect & dielectric absorption play a major role in how interconnects & speakerwires effect the musical signal that travel through them! I see no voodoo science in wires at all. Type & purity of metal, RLC, skin effect & dielectric absorption probably play some of the most important roles in effecting the signal and hence how it sounds but I digress.
===============================================================
Tom you said: Is it possible to miss something entirely? You bet, but, its unlikely everyone else wouldn’t miss it too, over and over.I'm glad you admit that IT IS POSSIBLE to miss something entirely. Still your belief that its unlikely everyone else wouldn’t miss it too, over and over. Doesn't hold as much water as you would have us believe, for how many of these others are looking for "musicality?"
================================================================
I live in Orlando, Fla. So I doubt I'll get a chance to hear what an objectivist, highly measurement based horn system sounds like as much as I would like to. PLEASE don't misunderstand me, I'm sure your audio system sounds very, very nice. I also don't think you and/or the other Objectivists here aren't capable of assembling a very nice sounding audio system.Want to know what surprises me? None of you have asked me how I think we'd even attempt to measure musicality. Although I believe in time we could develop a test to measure a component's musicality. The more I think about it, the more I'm inclined to believe it would require measuring the people listening to the component in question (oh yes I know that in itself opens a very large can-o-worms) but as it's the ear/brain combo that differentiates live from recorded and almost instantly, that's probably were we should start measuring, no?
===============================================================
I know what I'm proposing isn't easy, I know it requires a completely new way of thinking and I know it will be laughed at by many Objectivists, but damn when we finally discover how the ear/brain differentiates live from recorded and how to apply that to audio components (if that's even possible) think of how much more realistic all our systems will sound! Isn't that waht we all what? A system that sounds as realistic as is possible....Thetubeguy1954
