You are welcome. For what it is worth.The Slippery Slope from Science to Orthodoxy to Creed to Opinion
What do I sell in my D/A converters? The clear answer is science. Yup, absolutely. Seems that science is a continuously evolving corpus of verifiable and repeatable knowledge of physical universe events. Definitely what I build has been evolving for forty years.
But wait – I build what I want to. Hmmm… I just slid down the scale to opinion?? Damn. The problem for must of you out there is you depend on “experts” such as me to build D/A converters. So What is an expert? Someone who relies in science? Someone who has experience? Someone who puts on a good show solemnly intoning the right and only way? I figure it is the person who makes something people want.
Its a hubristic and arrogant step from science to orthodoxy, likewise to creed. Too often there is a revolving door between these classes, which results in a politic based on buddies and money. This was a problem for Copernicus. If the politic of his contemporary scientists and church figures had prevailed, we could still believe the sun revolved around the earth. In the current absence of church influence the orthodoxy and creed has tended to merge with the science (this is an observation, not a political or moral statement).
Now what I have in common with Mormons or the Orthodox Jewish is that I have a lot invested in my creed and opinion. If I build I build Schiit people don’t want I will eventually go hungry. After all, who wants to hire some neurally compromised curmudgeon?
So all I can do is build what I like. Exactly what I do. But I can’t do it without you. So thanks, really.
I thank you for your DACs. What I have of yours sounds like music. Other stuff I've heard sounds cold and lifeless but "measures much better."The Slippery Slope from Science to Orthodoxy to Creed to Opinion

I've got a feeling that "Less is more" is going to be upsetting to the ASR crowd.Less is more (see tomorrow)
