Jon Risch distortion test signal

I at least agree with him to the extent that the current procedures for evaluating much in audio equipment is inadequate because it doesn't show us the differences that exist. The state of the art of design has far surpassed the state of the art of measurement or at least the commonly used procedures. Equipment should be pushed well beyond the current limits by tests which demonstrate electrical performance differences which correlate with real world audible differences.

Extraordinary. Gee that's my feeling exactly !

Not so fast. I'm only back for this one thread because I don't want to see somebody get away with something of questionable merit unchallenged.

I belive in torturing captives. Captive terrorists, captive amplifiers. Make it cry. Make it howl in pain. Push it to the limit and then some. Break it if you have to. They do it with cars. Why not with amplifiers? They do it to engineers (I know first hand, my friends and I have been there.) So far at least one has escaped. The AES will put him on the bench and see if he has the stuffing to stand up to the ultimate challenge. Maybe that's why he had his ominous premonition. :-) John Escalier would be miserable without Jon Risch. Who would he argue with so vehemently? Who else cares that much about this crap?

Musiclovers who don't buy the company line because they know better.
