Re: Have to agree

"I don't agree with your contention that improvements haven't occurred"

I never said improvements haven't occurred. I agree there were very many. But they were mostly in the realm of refining performance within limits of the existing paradyme, not overcoming that paradyme altogether.

The last attempt at a paradyme shift in serious sound reproduction was in the 1970s with quadraphonic sound. It was a technical failure not because of the lack of standards and competing systems which nobody could agree on but because the basic notion was flawed. It ignored basic facts about acoustics and hearing and naively assumed that if you applied more of the same logic which took us from mono to stereo, you could solve the problem.

I've gone in my own direction with my own ideas. I've gotten a patent for at least one idea, found no interest in it from manufacturers and so continue to experiment on my own. What was that idea about? I don't care to discuss it in detail anymore and not here but as a hint, if you acquire a Yamaha DSP-1 (which my patent predates by 5 years) and are very clever with it, you can create some rather surprising results.
