RE: GENTLEMEN!!!


I'm truly sorry, Winston, that a simple, honest question about using capacitors could not be answered completely and honestly on this forum without the source for that answer being viciously attacked, maligned and lied about.

This forum is a wonderful thing, but unfortunately, it has become a haunt of Jackals. Because common decency is being destroyed, and common sense is viciously attacked, conventional electronic engineering mistakes that worked only partially-- in the past-- are all that will be tolerated on this forum.

New ideas and newly proven methods are not only eschewed, but anyone daring to mention them gets a full-blown attempt at inciting Mob-Rule thrown at him.

It is with great sorrow, and a broken heart that I witness the decline and take-over of this outherwise great forum.... one of the best on the Internet-- if you consider only the rational members.

These no longer have any voice here unless they lace their explanations in feather-smoothing absurdities, laced with old, obsolete "proven proofs" methods that barely worked in the past.

In order to placate the Attack Squad that uses this obsolete technology in a vain attempt to "prove" that they can "build" equipment that easily outperforms good commercial gear, members are expected to bow down, salute, praise, and shower these members with accolades and personal awards.. for their careful study of methods that at best-- produced barely mediocre results 50 years ago!

I can state flatly, and with total honesty, that almost any GOOD commercial gear today has their efforts badly beaten. VERY badly.

Yet, they cling to outmoded design beliefs that simply don't produce the best equipment-- because they have mastered the FORMULAS and PROOFS for these almost worthless methods..

WHAT DOES produce the best equipment is NO mystery among good commercial audio engineers, but they are few and far between-- there are plenty of them that are also stuck in the same old moldy, mildewing, rotting rooms as the "Detractors Inc."-- (my idiom) people who have invaded this forum, and routinely accuse its most rational and sincere members of being irrational, deluded, and even insincere.

When you are medoicre and have little else to offer, then attacking someone else who is honest may seem like the way to go. IT IS NOT.

A far better way to go would be to find out what the performance levels of the new ideas and equuipment really are--- now that would make some sense.

Most of this could easily be observed at various Audio Shows-- where honest vendors actually allow the public to see and hear their equipment.

It is to these fine people that I give my appreciation. To continue to pay homage and give extremely valuable information to an artiface that has been invaded by people with no empathy and no moral standing, and extremely poor engineering talents to boot-- has become counter-productive in the extreme.

Maybe some of you can save this once wonderful forum.

Unfortunately, quite a few of us have been forced to finally admit it-- it has become violently ill!
