The Brinkman Ship MQA Listening Results

[eclectic]

Scoggins seems to have disappeared. He's had a week off from all the usual forums. Perhaps you should change his description to "in hiding" or "doing research".

That was a joke. I had and have no evidence that he is back under a new name, but I stated my suspicion.

 

If he is even half sensible, you'll never know. New email address, VPN,  full  blocking of cookies,  canvas track blocking, TOR - the list is endless.

 

What catches out sock puppets is their posting style.

 

p.s. MQA is amazing

That, and unquestioning willingness to heap praise on it, I suspect.

Surely not, nobody would do that. 

 

er..

 

In almost 40 years of attending audio press events, only rarely have I come away feeling that I was present at the birth of a new world. In March 1979, I visited the Philips Research Center in Eindhoven, Holland and heard a prototype of what was to be later called the Compact Disc. In the summer of 1982, I visited Ron Genereux and Bob Berkovitz at Acoustic Research's lab near Boston and heard a very early example of the application of DSP to the correction of room acoustic problems. And in early December, at Meridian's New York offices, I heard Bob Stuart describe the UK company's MQA technology, followed by a demonstration that blew my socks off.

I hear no difference at all between Tidal and locally stored flacs. In my system they sound identical.

I’m Stone Turntable over at the Hoffman forum. The thing that’s comically misleading about this post is the implication that I support MQA (I don’t, and stated my belief that it’s probably bunk several times in your SHF thread) and that I must be in cahoots with some MQA cabal. Anyone who has a problem with your extremely hostile, aggressive online persona is part of the MQA conspiracy, I guess.

 

You’re also leaving out the fact that I repeatedly *praised* your MQA listening test and was criticizing you for one thing: making personal attacks, accusing people by name of committing fraud and of being liars — in short, of stuff that the Hoffman forum, at least, defines as troll behavior. That’s it. 

 

I realize the culture and the rules here at CA tolerate ankle-biting, eye-gouging, and framing one's debate opponent as History’s Greatest Monster to a much greater degree than over at the Hoffman forum, so I’’m not going to criticize or engage with you for any of that in your thread here,  beyond responding this once to what you’ve said about me and my imaginary iniquity. I had nothing to do with the deletion of the your Hoffman thread beyond publicly pleading with you not to undermine your valuable MQA critique by being such a relentlessly mean bastard.

 

I’m pretty sure you’re probably going the respond to this with maximum suspicious contempt. Good luck with that. I’m out.

 

 

A Gort for "Sticky Fingered" Steve giving lectures on ethics. You couldn't make it up.

To be fair, he is not a Gort!

 

In that case I apologize.

 

Is he a wannabe Gort? How has he been dragged into this?
