The Big Misconception About Electricity
@djones51 ,   This is what happens when people don't think things through. Oh, that looks like an arc discharge anomaly. Well ya, but that does not mean it is. So many obvious flaws w.r.t craters being caused by "electrical discharge" - Dischar... 
Next best exponential DAC quality level?
Probably not, the BluOS experience is still the same which is pretty decent. Nevertheless, the new Node is a good upgrade from the Node 2i, adding additional features like eARC HDMI, USB Audio output (eventually) and enhanced touch screen. The No... 
The Big Misconception About Electricity
@mahgister agreed, we are about to experience the perfect Technocratic surveillance state. Maintained by an AI that is omnipotent. Matrix part 5?   I wish this was totally a joke, with humans and democracy, there is always the potential for ... 
Spotify HiFi
@jjss49 , I go with the Andy Grove mantra, "only the paranoid survive". The barriers to entry to start a streaming service are severe. The barriers to a customer changing a streaming service are not. ATMOS and others technologies may also force t...

AI is at the same time, fascinating and scary. I think AI will be the greatest challenge humanity ever faces.  
Uptone Audio EtherREGEN review
@yyzsantabarbara ,   You can always spend more money with something like this. Though I doubt it is better than Fibre. Synergistic Research Ethernet Switch - Positive Feedback (positive-feedback.com)   A company with 0 Ethernet experience (... 
How does a REL subwoofer add dimensionality and depth to a sound system?
If you have multiple well placed subs, usually it takes your what is likely pretty uneven bass response from the mains and evens it out. Limiting woofer excursion on the mains can also significant reduce their distortion.  
The Big Misconception About Electricity
The Dogma is too entrenched, it’s like these people have been smelling their own farts for too long, and they have gotten used to the stench. (Basically I am describing the entire history of "Settled Science", save the few brave souls that buck t... 
The Big Misconception About Electricity
@cindyment You have a habit to attacking people’s characters instead of their arguments. Bad habit you have.   Actually I attacked the "distinction" placed upon them, whether using the description "Physicist" or "Preeminent" when there is no... 
The Big Misconception About Electricity
@yuviarora , obviously we have different standards for what "preeminent" means. Stephen Crothers is only preeminent in his own mind and with a small group of people unqualified to determine if he is or not. Pretty much everyone else thinks he is a... 
The Big Misconception About Electricity
Hey, I said credentialed, not qualified. However, to that, I will leave those far more knowledgeable to do it, which they have. They will accomplish in minutes what would take me days. @yuviarora , I know you don't respect the "math", but let me...

Wallace Thornhill,   Education Melbourne University Melbourne University B.Sc Physics, Electronics 1960 - 1964   Hey, I am a physicist too and I didn’t even know it! Heck, I am even more credentialed!  
Next best exponential DAC quality level?
@mofojo  The Node 2 is a bit of a black sheep. I had one too. I think a lot of us did. If you said you passed a blind test, I would not be one to be discounting it. It not only measures not very well, but I was convinced that the performance was ... 
The Big Misconception About Electricity
@mahgister , while I am obviously a proponent of meritocracy, that should never mean that people are not fed, that they have a roof over their head, that they should have to worry about medical bankruptcy or that the financial means of the parents... 
The Big Misconception About Electricity
@mahgister , At some point all adults must take responsibility for their decisions including their arrogance. From the above, Einstein appears to have little "respect" for the concepts of the book, but does not consider the author a bad person. I...
