Jeff, in case you missed it, his degree is in psychology, so no surprise there.

I did not know that. Wow ...

Bottom line is simple...if one perceives there to be a difference, then there is a difference. It shouldn't matter if others don't perceive it and others shouldn't demand or expect that he prove it. Everyone is free to follow their own path and there is no right or wrong.

Maybe you're right. He mostly says his customers see and hear an improvement.

Note that he holds no engineering degree, whatsoever. Strictly self-trained, which is why it's so incredible (the perfect adjective!) that he can second-guess some of the smartest, best-educated designers in their fields.

Ken,

I do not want to argue with you, but there have been many people that have become experts and well respected in fields that either had no formal training, are self taught, or have different educational backgrounds. Some of these people have become leaders in their fields outside their education. I am not saying that that is the case with David, but these things do happen.

Rich, you are ever the devoted customer.

The trick is to not have to prove anything. More and more outrageous claims. More and more testimonials. More and more threats against anyone copying their proprietary modifications. More and more sending people into forum threads to defend the company. More and more verbiage that casts a scenario with the world against the company and it's astute followers. More and more claims of having proof.

But never actually showing any proof.

It is am amazing business model, and one that seems guided more by the science of psychology than the science behind electrical engineering.

Well, that explains it!

Bill Conrad and Lew Johnson come to mind. Both have PhDs in Economics, one from MIT and I think the other Michigan. Nor do I think Allen Perkins has any formal engineering degrees yet he designs some pretty good tts. And OTOH having an engineering degree doesn't mean you're guaranteed success either.

Believe me it certainly isn't easy at times.

Hi Rich,

I've known you for many years and I know that you are really passionate about audio, and that you also believe strongly in the upgrades you have made. I just want to tell you...that is perfectly fine and more power to you. As long as you are satisfied, which I know you are, then that is the only thing that matters. Sceptics be damned....it's not their money.

...And Mark Levinson; he's a musician, and has no degree in electronic engineering. Yet ...
