Post Subject: I have problems with “Sound professionals”Posted by Romy the Cat on: 5/19/2006

Bud,

thanks, perhaps I will get in touch with him but I do not know what I might doe with his AB amp…

Still, I generally have difficulty to talk with audio people and to extend any credibility to what they said if I did not experience personally the reference points that people have in their minds. You see, the technical people do deal most of the time with actual Sonic results but rather with development of the own algorithms to control events and to manage own egos. A person might be perfectly reasonable and intelligent in his/her realm of expertise but his research might have explicitly theoretical application only with the restricted context of “none applied theory”. Being applied the “research” might become a different way of doing….  Absolutely nothing. I’m sure that this guy is able to run transistor at 150 degree but the question is not how he does it but what result he is getting. I would need to hear “what I need to hear” and then a person might have a credit to claim how that Sound was done. Without the actual familiarity with Sound that those people are talking about all of them consider themselves geniuses and great inventors. I certainly do not mean the Ridley Audio guy but I dealt a lot with pro audio folk and with high-end specialists who consider themselves  “fancy” but after familiarizing with their Sound, or with Sound that they consider “acceptable” I realized that I wasted my time extending to them any trustworthiness.

Rgs,
