Greetings audiophiles and professional sound engineers. I've observed your planet for many years and decided to pay it a visit, hopefully an extended and pleasant one. However, don't be surprised at what for you will be at times unconventional and even provocative points of view based on my own training and experience. They are not intended to anger anyone, merely an exchange of ideas. I've observed that unfortunately some here hold so tenaciously to their own ideas that they see any challenge to them as a deliberate personal affront. None is intended.
