Post Subject: About the presold, packaged and shipped out simplicityPosted by Romy the Cat on: 7/30/2009

Axel,

I am expressing whatever I wish to express and in whatever format I find it useful. If you wish simplicity then feel free to define the things for yourself in whatever simplistic fashion it might benefit you. The simple stupid approach hardly ever work with audio people as they are accustomed to think about audio with bumper-sticker expressionism and with the trained dog mentality. A phrase “greatness transparency” would understood by majority of audio people as just another meaningless BS colloquialism that Morons invented to sell crap to each other. Generally audio people have develops immunity to words about audio and they are accustomed that he words about audio have no meaning. I mean what I say and if people have ability to do own thinking then they have a change to understand or discover themselves what was behind the words. It looks like it worked with you at least.

Anyhow, I pointed out to you the Macondo page because it gives a certain framework of thinking and some understanding where I was coming from. The fact that you did “get” is fine with me, keep searching for simple stupor explanations. I wish they were they. Einstein in his version of Occam's Razor suggested that oversimplified explanation might not be adequate or sufficient or to describe a complex phenomena. The subject of “greatness transparency” with all it’s appeared “simplicity” is VERY complex and it take in some instances years and years to understand it, to feel it, not to mention to learn how sensibly and empirically USE it in audio. Most of people go through entire life of audio practicing still with no clues about ability of audio to discriminate “greatness”. So, the “short on the point expressions” are fine if the person is “ready” to understand the things. In some cases it took for me years and years to understand certain “simple” things, and I am sure it will be more “simple” discoverers for me in futures.

Anyhow, I do not what to continue this conversation – it is, as usually, about nothing meaningful or practical.
