Golden Ears Fail Again

[RobotCzar]

Note that audiohobby does not give his own opinions, he references high end audio pundits (but he does give is snide comments). Perhaps he will share his background (as I have done in the past) so we can better judge his expertise. But, then again, we can tell he does not have any, can't we? It seems he can be classed with the other high end faithful who live here. I guess this forum is therapy for them as I speculate that they cannot get people to listen to their ramblings in real life.

Face it audiohobby, you don't konw what "time domain" and "frequency domain" means, so why do you think you can correct people about them? Don't bother trying to tell me now, you had your chance. Now, go and take the time to learn something, quit taking the easy way out or no one will ever pay attention to what you say. When you put your thoughts down in forums you expose your ignorance. Ignorance can be corrected, why get so defensive about it?

We lined up in teams. As we approached the front of the line we were given a life saver.

The object of the game was to guess what color it was by the flavor without seeing it first.

You would think that's easy but until you've tried it, you have no idea how difficult that really is. I mean, it's most certainly doable to a great extent but you would be surprised how much our taste was influenced by the color cues.

Just a little food for thought. (yes, bad pun)

Now, on with the show. ...Move along... nothing to see here...

RobotCzar,

You spoke out of your arse on time domain and frequency domain performance and that was the reason you became dead silent when faced with authoritative information. As for Markw, his childish sulk in another thread where he committed a booboo similar to yours, means that you have a companion to sulk with. I know more about time domain and frequency domain performance than you do and the proof is right up in this thread where you spoke out of your arse. I repeat you are in the same boat as those that you pursue, just opposite ends, extreme opinions that are out of touch with reality.Rather than being childish and foolish, both yourself and markw should learn to accept correction, that's true learning.

Smiley faces, childish taunts and incorrect assumprions, even when made by several people don't make you right. It ain't a voting situation, where if two or more people misunderstand what they are reading that makes it right. You just jumped on the wrong dogpile and didn't even know what you were doing. Face it kid, ya saw two people who, like many newbies, misunderstood something jumping on me and you thought you would join in the fun and jumped in with your wise arse comments. Now, you're being asked to be a man and substantiate them.

Again, please prove that a 3 decible change results in "DOUBLE the audible change in volume", as was the original statement under dispute.

I thought I was pretty clear in stating my case. I'm still waiting to hear yours. C'mon kid, show me what ya got. Smiley faces don't count. If it did you would win.

And, for any interested in this train wreck, here's the thread with TAH's insightful comments. Please note that the original poster changed the question after the first three responses.

Can you hear?

And, I'm sure Robo would be open to any meaningful input that you could openly discuss on an adult level. Merely shooting a paragraph or so from another source without being able to understand, explain it and back it up doesn't count.

If not, then please drop it and let the adults carry on their conversations unimpeded with your childish taunts.

[theaudiohobby]

Markw, it is you that should drop it as you are being foolish and childish, I have no need to add to that thread, newbsterv2 has said it all

I agree with that 100% but that conflicts with everything you say before it!

behave like an adult and accept that your original post on that thread was wrong. Get off this thread and nurse your lousy self-ego somewhere else. As for RobotCzar, I am sure he is wisely keeping quiet cos he now knows he is wrong.

Do you even bother to undersand what you cut and paste? Can you say "oxymoron"?

You really think he's a source you want to quote? He's the one who started this whole mess by making that foolish statement in the first place!

And again, you simply cut and past someone else's words. How about something that you wrote that explains your position? ...or are you gonna huff and puff and blow my house down?

I'd say that your condescending, high and mighty and above it all attitude is being called into question. now, you getto prove you realy CAN hold your own in t hese discussions. You've talked the talk. Now it's time to walk the walk.

It's time to either put up or shut up, kid.

Now, come up with something of your own akin to my post 22 on that thread defending your position.. After all, it's a fairly basic and simple concept so it shouldn't be too much of a task for one of your superior intellect and experience to explain it in your own words so a simple, misguioded fool such as my humble self could understand the error of my ways. I've lived under this "misconception" for over 40 years since I started in audio.

I would love to finally learn the truth from you. ...and, I'm sure the rest of the people reading this thread eagerly awaits enlightenment from one so wise as yourself..

So, it's the bottom of the 9th, one strike and no balls. Wanna take another swing?

And, I'm sure Robo ran away trembling in fear of your superior knowledge and is crying into his pillow because you say he's wrong.

It is a pity that an individual (you) who has contributed positively in the past to many threads can become a carricature of very individuals he is trying to correct, goes to show how a huge ego and stupid pride can do a lot of damage to an otherwise intelligent individual. Get over it and you are getting more pathetic, big sulk!

Strike two and still no balls.

More bluff and bluster, eh? All sizzle and no steak I'd say. What grade are you in, anyway?

As you are learning, simply cutting and pasting words from the internet without understanding the concepts of what they are saying and jumping onto dogpiles without understanding what is being discussed can be a double edged sword, eh? Looks kewl at first glance but when used excessively, the veneer proves to be quite shallow. Well, we're scratched the veneer and we're down to the real substance now.

I'm pretty sure you've pretty much shown us how valuable and researched your contributions are and simultaneously clarified your position in the intellectual pecking order in this community.

Hey, you jumped all over me saying I was wrong and still don't see where you blew it. I'm simply returning the favor and giving you a chance to redeem yourself and show the world how really, really smart you are.

Want to take another swing? One more and yer out!

Well, we've hijacjked this poor thread enough and it'e really not fair to the others here. Any more comments to me on my matter can be made on the original thread in the speakers forum. To make it easier fot you, here's a link to take you there. I'll not bring this up again in this thread (in Audio Lab) unless, of course, you do.

Can you hear?

See ya there I hope. I Iook forward to learning from you there.

Of course, if you have issues with Robo, then this is the place to air them. I look forward to you teaching him a thing or two.

Thanks for playing.

"The Art of Electronics", Horowitz & Hill (Cambrige)

"I've hunted high and low for good electronics textbooks. This one is the best, bar none. No extraneous math, lots of insider's information ... and a huge range of topics covered clearly and thoroughly. So well written that I've had difficulty putting it down!" -- CoEvolution Quarterly

I did find "Frequency Domain" and "Time Domain" referenced in the Index for Page 23, but they are not apparent in the TOC. Since I have not read this book (but the numerous favorable reviews suggest that I should), I do not know if the authors consider "Frequency Domain" and "Time Domain" to have useful meanings, or if they view thse terms as foolish. Since both are cited as being on Page 23, based on prior experience I would anticipate the latter.

Synonyms for Domain

Area
Field
Province
Realm
Sphere
Sphere of Influence

I suppose an enterprising poultry dealer could lure Audiophiles with "Free Domain Chickens" ........
