"They're... way to risky for you." Oh geez, puh-leeze.

> > You claim to have already done the polarity experiment, though you never wrote it up or published any description of it at all.

AES Preprint Number 3169, "Proofs of an Absolute Polarity" -- to have been the first of three sets of experiments, the rest abandoned as inconsequential.

> > So let's see -- you have ignored what I've proposed

Hmmm... that does not comport at all well with the above discussion.

> > ignored or deliberately misconstrued my explanations of what the [polarity] experiment was about

I know perfectly well what the experiment was "about" -- inter alia your refusal to mind previous reported experiments.

> > gone off on irrelevant tangents about nearly everything

"Nearly everything." OK... whatever...

> > ignored my specifications of speakers and room for several of the systems we used

I was unaware they had been given here. Nor does anyone else here seem clear on that, given the number of questions raised. Why single me out?

> > claimed I haven't identified our A/D/A link when I posted it here last week

I may have missed link, but to me you wrote, "The device we were using is a recording system, which passes a signal *through* it." Oh. Good to know. Not very specific, though. Elsewhere you wrote, "You asked what our bottleneck sounds like, and we’ve proven the answer quite well: It sounds like the signal that went into it." Equally helpful.

> > and generally obfuscated and evaded issues right and left.

"Right and left." OK... whatever...

Say! So far, you've not replied to repeated questioning on how the "bottleneck's" sonic results compare to an actual CD device, an important consideration as you drew several (abrupt) conclusions about CD -- not about the "bottleneck".

Nor have you replied to my demonstration that you had blatantly mischaracterized my book The Wood Effect.

Nor... nor...

Do those qualify as "right and left"?

> > I think this has been demonstrated adequately to everyone else here, so there's not much point in taking this any further.

"Everyone else here"? The moderator of this forum called the M&M paper "a crock". How d'ya like them apples? Someone else remarked, "They got exactly the results I would expect with the player they used." And: "I believe the authors were being disingenuous when they stated that they used 'very expensive electronics'." And: "Bottom line - The authors got the results they wanted. Neither is a scientist or an engineer and it shows."

Yikes!

Finally, one fellow said, "The player determines the quality of the test." Whereas Meyer said, "It doesn’t matter what particular player we used. I say that’s because it sounds the same as all the others."

I rest my case.
