Jon Risch distortion test signal

[markw]

I'm just shocked that no naysayers are willing to think for themselves and venture any thoughts about the technical merits of Risch's idea. The simple possibility that Risch's approach might prove to provide another measurement aspect that could help to quantify the sound of a component is reason enough to be excited about it. But, drawing that conclusion relies on independent thinking instead of on edicts from external authorities, so maybe I shouldn't be surprised about the lack of response.

If a suspected quack gives me a diagnosis, it might SOUND convincing but, not being a doctor, I'd get at least one second opinion before buying into it. As a layman, I wouldn't know technobabble from the truth. Must laymen would admit the same, unless they were under said quack's thrall.

Now, since you mentioned the AES is getting involved, we've got a whole roomful of second opinions to look forward to. Where are they? What did they say?

But, since the copyrights seem to be from 1997 - 2001, I'd say this is either old news or has already had it's day in the sun and dried up like a day old dead fish on a Bahamian dock.
