I guess you missed the "rhetorical you" comment. My comments were not swipe at you personally, but more a statement of the general attitude here about anyone that disagrees about an approach to audio that goes beyond LCR and the assumption that everything in what is, by definition, a subjective event. I say subjective because everyone hears differently due to HRTF, ear canal shape and a myriad of other reasons.
I've been a lurker here for years, mostly out of curiosity and somewhat out of the entertainment factor. I do the same thing on many forums and frequent a few. It is always curious to see how many people get jacked up about whatever and then when they have the opportunity to be a participant in something that could advance the general knowledge base about anything, not just audio. I know this isn't rocket science. You make assumptions about me which is an indicator that tells me everything I need to know about you, just like you are thinking about me, so we're good concerning that issue.
You say: "Gene can take care of himself he needs no member of his Forum to defend him", Yet, here you are.
No, I'm not a SR plant. I think his products are somewhat suspect and over-priced. That is not my issue. My issue is that of general attitude. I have confirmed my suspicions and opinions, so I will simply go back under the rock I crawled out from under and continue my own successful way in audio.
Been surreal.
