In the Thread: Does horn surface porosity influence sound ?

Really, this is too funny!
I actually thought that everyone who's seriously concerned with the matter knows that everything about a horn affects the sound, including the material the horn is made from. Hell, that's one of the reasons I gave up on the damn things! It about drove me nuts!
Not that the nay-sayers give a rat's ass, but the best material we came up with was TAR.
That hardly solves all your problems, but it is difficult to even imagine anyone thinking that "all horn material sounds alike". It must/can only be that 1) The fidelity from their horns is so poor that the difference s are rendered nil. 2) They couldn't hear a difference to save their lives.
Who cares if they can't hear it, really? But the "pronouncement" of their "deduction" is annoying.
Shades of Julian Hirsch! ("All amplifiers that measure the same, sound the same.")
Rubbish!
(BTW, this is in response to the initial post/idea, not the preceding post.)
