Despite what you seem to think, the laws of physics apply to audio. You not understanding the basics doesn’t mean others don’t, nor does it invalidate a century and a half of accumulated data and knowledge.

Thank you. Comically and predictably, he’s now taking out of context screenshots of posts here and having a rant on his blog. Sad to say, but he seems truly convinced that his uninformed opinions are right and known science is wrong. And that we’re all terrible people which is odd...

I apologize to everyone for engaging with a troll. Moving on…

Feel free to post the results of independent testing. Or any testing with proper controls implemented. I looked for them on your website but nothing to be found there. No customer testimonials please.

You need to have a MOT tag on your account if you’re selling product. That aside, I wasn’t able to find the results of your blind testing. Please post them and a description of the controls once you’ve made contact with Head-Fi and have your account identified as a MOT.

You definitely did use the ChatGPT output as evidence. Your quote: “Based on the above reply, people who cannot perceive the difference between CD-quality and Hi-Res music (for whatever reasons) could save a bit on the HiFi equipment, disk spaces, and cost for acquiring Hi-Res music files. I...

The problem with ChatGPT is that virtually all of the legitimate research is behind paywalls and not available to the LLM as the model is trained. Sites like AES are unavailable to ChatGPT, so the results are largely based on marketing material. Your continued use of commercial AI to generate...

Not breaking character. Good work! Might have to sign up for some dark matter optical coating for my personally owned stealth fighter jet. Do you have anything precut for an F-117?

Other than the reality that blind testing doesn’t support crackpot ideas, what reasons do you have to make this statement? Please be specific.

In a strange way, I don’t have an issue with your content. If it’s not parody, the claims are so over the top that if someone’s “Spidey sense” isn’t going off, I blame that on the consumer. Since you have a cart and a seemingly legitimate PayPal account, it does seem like there is available...

I’ll take that as a Yes

Are you the same Geoff Kait listed as the contact email of this website? https://www.machinadynamica.com/ If yes, I hope the products and content is satire.

We’ve got ourselves a real Nikola Edison posting in the thread…

Thanks for taking the time for the detailed explanation! On a side note, Spectral Leakage would be a fantastic name for a death metal band.

I no longer feel it’s necessary to be subtle. The level of ignorance in your posts and blog is embarrassing. You’re obviously lying about your educational background. Please go away and spend a decade or so actually getting the education you claim to have.

Thanks for clarifying and your understanding of why I continued to respond to an obvious troll I have a feeling Castle and some of the site mods had a large number of items in their Inbox this morning. One easy way to reduce gaps in site mod availability would be to take on an additional mod...

You’re welcome. It’s hard to convey to anyone who didn’t follow last nights posts how bad that thread got, so I understand why you were disappointed your content got caught up in the thread deletion.

It was, by a large margin, the worst poster and thread I’ve ever encountered on Head-Fi. The first 10 posts were fairly normal trolling. After that, the OP lost his mind and posted zero content related to audio. The next 100 were on the topics I listed. Edit: The OP is now ranting on the...

Without quoting the original post, it’s impossible to tell what you’re responding to. You really think the thread deleted last night was the run of mill trolling we typically see? Were there previous threads that included nazis, gender bigotry, religion and ethnicity? If so, I must have...

I’m lost - we’re supposed to be nice to a troll who dives into Nazis, bigotry, personal attacks and religion? Posters in sound science tend to get firm responses based on their initiation of insults. I’m not in favor of coddling obvious trolls, though I do think most of them are best ignored...

Having been part of a moderator group on another platform, it really doesn’t work. Too many back channel conversations and disagreements about what and who can stay or go leading to some hard feelings amongst the moderators. Yesterday’s thread was the first time in my 12 years here that a...

As someone who had a lot of posts in yesterday’s thread, I’m glad you deleted it. The OP’s post content was reprehensible and there really wasn’t anything worth preserving. After the first 10 or so posts, there was zero content regarding audio.

80hz is is where bass loses its directionality so that’s generally where subs are crossed over. Location flexibility with a sub also provides options to address room modes. The location of your main speakers may not be ideal for bass reproduction. Subs are able to produce more bass that the...

Yup. In the early days, they exclusively did Metallica covers but have broadened out since then.

And Apocalyptica. 4 cellists playing Metallica sounds odd but somehow, it really works.
