Lowrider57,This is very interesting information. It goes against the accepted wisdom that we inevitably lose hearing as we get older. 
The Problem with Synergistic Research
We have seen time and again where posters complain that threads have deteriorated. I do not believe they deteriorate because of the difference of opinions being expressed. After all, that's what the forums are for. I believe that threads deteriora... 
Hearing Tests
Thanks to all for these informative posts. At the phys.com site I am down 78dB at 12kHz and down 63 dB at 16 kHz. This seems to indicate good hearing for someone in their 60s. I am using my USB headset for this since I don't have headphones.

Gloria,You have the right to your opinions about Ted's submissions. Everyone has the right to interpret them as he or she wishes. Ted expressed things in a positive light for SR -- which is understandable. And I expressed my opinions. Please note ...

Flashunlock.Thank you.

Flashunlock,What you characterize as moaning is a thread that was initiated to elicit ideas and opinions. And it has done just that. I am certainly not the only person who feels as I do.You may note that there are others besides me who have expres... 
The Problem with Synergistic Research
Flashunlock,Please note that I initiated this thread and the topic is The Problem with Synergistic Research -- but not exclusive to SR. Also, please note that not everyone who has posted on this thread may agree with you -- according to how they h... 
The Problem with Synergistic Research
Regarding SR's trade-up policy, it is clearly a good deal for those who have the cash and who want to purchase more than one new SR product. But it puts those on a modest budget in a bind. Firstly, when SR brings out a new product to replace a cur...

Double boxing is the minimum you should insist on. I asked my shipper to do this when he shipped a pair of speakers to me overseas. The box arrived with one corner badly compacted. It was obviously dropped. I did a prayer. I opened the 2 boxes and...

Photon46,You put this very succinctly in your post. 
The Problem with Synergistic Research
Onhwy61,With all due respect, I believe you have misunderstood. This thread is about getting the best possible value for your audio dollar. I feel many high end audio companies are in the process of pricing themselves out of the ballpark for audio... 
The Problem with Synergistic Research
Knghifi,With all due respect, you are now addressing your comments to Joncourage and Mapman as well.Mcondon,You stated "When is Audiogon going to kill this thread? All this bad press is going to hinder SR's ability to separate fools from their mon... 
The Problem with Synergistic Research
Facten,You state "I don't think that anything any vendor would do would satisfy Sabai". This is a very broad statement, would you not agree? It opens the door to a broad response.With all due respect, there have been many vendors that have more th... 
The Problem with Synergistic Research
Fplanner2010, Gloria, Knghifi,I feel you're being a bit unkind here. I don't think it would have cost much for SR to do this repair and the goodwill extended would have come back to them -- whereas now they have to deal with bad publicity that may...
