But anyways, quite a few people own Transporters and DAC1s, at least one person offhand (and probably a few more) own LP12s, and speaker-wise, while I couldn't find a comprehensive survey on the matter, a cursory search indicades that electrostatics are adequately represented. I think that's more than enough evidence to support my original contention regarding equipment - that they "tend to have equally good ... rigs as anybody else here". If you want to talk average estimates of equipment, you're on your own - I have no evidence one way or another, on either forum.You also understand, of course, that I'm evaluating audio quality on my own terms, not yours. So if you want to show I'm lying, please do so in the context of evaluating audio quality in terms of double-blind testing.
As far as listening skills are concerned... how would you choose to evaluate this in an objective manner, in order to factually prove my dishonesty? With all the crap accorded to DBTs on AA, how many of y'all have successfully replicated the positive DBT results obtained on HA? Which group of people discuss specific, technical, provably audible flaws with lossy encoders, and which group tends not to perceive much beyond generic qualifiers? Whose opinions are more trusted outside their own communities of like-minded thinkers?
I don't recall ever making claims about *my own* equipment or listening skills - in fact I pretty clearly recall predicting on HA that I would likely never be able to ABX 320kbps, and my GO46 is giving me a lot of headaches atm. So bringing my system into all of this just seems like an ad hominem distraction, and a pretty terrible one at that.
I guess you want me to feel more insulted, but you're just not that good of a troll. I regret talking such talk as "my homies are just as good as your homies!", tribal and subjective that such statements are, but I also regret spending all this much time responding to you, too. Don't worry though - I'll turn back soon to pursuits that other people actually care about, and you can still be King Sh*t of F*ck Mountain.
