And again this an awesomely representative post of how people will twist information to suit their outcome. The good Dr. uses where it suits him an absolutely literal interpretation of the bible.  However, when it does not suit him, he makes it a ...

Oh no, you opened that can .. douglas_schroeder2,813 posts01-11-2021 1:50pmdjones51, I wondered who would step into the doo doo. No one suggests that "dinosaurs" were on the ark. Reptiles, my friend. You have exposed your deep bias and ignorance. ... 
What is the Silliest Accessory You Have Ever Seen.
Have to agree, don't think you can top a $2,000 fuse for silly, but gee, I have to respect the chutzpah to extract money from willing victims like that.

Is it a great scientific book because it supports the beliefs you already have, or is it a great book because it had undergone rigorous peer review for accuracy and reasonableness of its conclusions? I could go into this in some detail, but I wil... 
Speaker sensitivity vs SQ
@tomic601 , that makes no sense at all.If you go into an actual natural environment, short of being in a cave, or very close to a cliff, or in front of a large tree, the only source of reflection is the ground, and normally that is dirt and somewh... 
What is the Silliest Accessory You Have Ever Seen.
It all sounds very good, @theaudiotweak , but why use proper acoustic design and things we know work well, and somewhat universally and will substantially reduce or diffuse reflections when we can use an acoustic toy that looks cool with a far out...

So basically a troll. Maybe you should change your moniker to allnoise?  nonoise6,656 posts01-11-2021 12:57amPoor, poor audio2design. Taken down a few notches from a surfeit of hubris and he's all aflutter and talking like a street punk, showing... 
Krell Class A/B power amps, do 'anticipator circuits' work?
You will note I said "waveform", not specifying which one. You are assuming emitter degeneration resistors, but it would be just as easy to pull the value from a high side or low side current sense on the power supply output.  I could see a hybrid...

I know an informed opinion is really offensive to some people who are unable to make one. I apologize for having a fairly strong background in acoustics. I guess I should be apologizing for my audio privilege and work harder to provide a safe spac... 
Best means of isolating digital equipment i.e. DACs, CD transports, wall warts etc.
I am trying to use language that he will understand, using his particular vernacular, except i tend to be more targeted where he just insults everyone :-)    cal37131,132 posts01-10-2021 9:57pm@audio2design It would make the forums a better place... 
Speaker sensitivity vs SQ
@audiokinesis , @erik_squires ,Trying to dig it up, it's around here somewhere, but I had a good paper or two on electronic (DSP) correction of thermal compression both copper and magnetic.  It is yet another reason why active speakers will rule t...

Could someone tell Miller that Wall-Warts have not been "a small transformer, diodes and cap", with rare exception for quite some time. Most are switch mode supplies not due to the requirement of universal operation and cost. 
Speaker sensitivity vs SQ
This "signal to noise" ratio thing has implications for the sense of envelopment as well: The further down in level we can still detect the reverberation tails on the recording, the stronger the perception of the recording venue's hall ambienc... 
Spades vs Bananas vs Bare Wire Treated with Caig Deox
Don't do this.Be aware that it’s best to tin the ends of bare wire with solder to reduce the possibility of breaking individual wire strands.Do thisAbout the problem of breaking wires or stray wires shorting, a little dab of solder on the bare wi...

@mijostyn, obviously you can fool some of the people all of the time.On the Shaktis, if you think the claims are silly, check out the review, https://6moons.com/audioreviews/shakti/hallograph.html  where the reviewer repeatedly quotes respected ph...
