| Talk but not walk? mapman,Essentially I agree. As I mentioned early on, I find the claims from Green to span from the plausible - likely to make a sonic difference - to the implausible. The tunable speakers (and certain types of room treatment) certainly suggest the... | |
| Talk but not walk? So name calling is all you have, Michael? And you think this is a good look for you?Your refusal to answer challenging questions is ever more conspicuous.You can toss all the "troll" accusations you want - as is your modus operandi - but what you ... | |
| Talk but not walk? glupson,I'm sure it didn't escape your notice that MG didn't answer your question. It's the usual two-step: avoid admitting there is no technical explanation, and turn it in to an opportunity to claim again that it works anyway. Anyone want to ta... | |
| Talk but not walk? glupson,Nice to see people like yourself bringing critical thinking to MG’s claims.They apparently don’t allow too much critical thinking on Michael’s forum. Skeptical challenges to their ideas - simple things like asking for measured results for ... | |
| Talk but not walk? michaelgreen,The walk here is the fact that caps and the other parts (including cables) weren’t designed and spec-ed out with tie wraps around them. Have you ever considered that this is because tie wraps are irrelevant to the performance of caps?... | |
| Talk but not walk? bill333How do you listen to a component with its chassis top on when you know that removing it will give you a sound that is so much more dynamic and open? How long can you look at a capacitor strapped down with a plastic zip tie, when you know th... | |
| Talk but not walk? hifiman5,WOW! This thread is a perfect example of how science does not and will never account for what our ears hear. "Fake Science"!(Edit): Is that the kind of empirical understanding promoted at the Michael Green site?BTW, I agree with your asse... | |
| Talk but not walk? shadorne,As you can see: anyone can make up, or infer, any hypothesis they want.And if the method of "testing" the hypothesis is merely subjective, then the results can be confirmed by the imagination of the subject. Hence...you have endless twea... | |
| Talk but not walk? Hi glupson,Certainly not taken personally!I honestly think a thread like this can be, and to some degree has been, turned into something somewhat valuable. I think it’s a good thing to identify the types of posts that are "bad faith" style posts, ... | |
| Talk but not walk? Off course Michael just ignores that my evaluation of his OP, the points I’ve raised, and my repeated requests for clarifications were acknowledge by several others here as valid and on point. (And I’ve also received various private correspondence... | |
| Talk but not walk? So Michael, you have taken your vague and insinuating OP and simply augmented it with equally vague and insinuating paragraphs.Is it possible we will ever get anything specific from you?I mean you once again disparage some mystery person or person... | |
| Talk but not walk? uberwaltz,I’d say geoffkait is *very* familiar with MG’s modus operandi. Have you ever seen their exchanges on the Stereophile forum? I only just stumbled upon them and...lemme tell ya...watching these evangelical purveyors of flaky audio products... | |
| Talk but not walk? uberwaltz,I disagree that this thread ever really had a chance to be somehow worthwhile. There are some issues touched upon in the OP that I think are extremely worthwhile and COULD have made for some really great conversation - e.g. the role of ... | |
| Talk but not walk? glupson,Thanks for your comment. I take your critique and suggestions seriously.I admit the somewhat trollish nature of the OP - even if inadvertent as I explained - does represent a trend that pisses me off, and certainly that came through. But... | |
| New Speakers up to $15k - The more I read the less I know! My 2 cents on the Harbeth (and other wide baffle designs):The Harbeth speakers - the larger ones included - do a surprising level of "disappearing" as sound sources. Not what you’d expect from looking at them. So their design philosophy does seem ... |
