Neutral electronics are a farce...

"Can you tell me what happens if the velocity of an audio signal entering an amplifier leaves at a different velocity?"

-- What happens when the audio signal from the speakers travels at different velocities to the listener depending on the room temperature?

"And if that can be plugged into your formulas, why wasn't this fixed a long time ago?"

-- You haven't shown there's a problem yet.  The cup falling on the floor just didn't do it for me.

"Why did it take decades for someone to notice the real problems? I'll tell you one of the reasons. Because it is not in your text books. I thank God every day for keeping me out of college. I would be just as confused as you guys. Don't get me wrong - If you have seen my white paper you can see that I have done all my homework. It just looks different from your homework."

- You will have a uphill battle if your white paper has technical "issues."   You might be onto something, who knows.  But it's not necessarily a very convincing argument to claim off the bat that your logic or your research doesn't agree with (all) text books on the subject. There's nothing wrong with being self taught, not necessarily.

"You can't argue with success."

- That's what they said about cold fusion.

 I doubt anyone can claim their stuff is neutral. 

This has been the case for many years. What happens when something comes along that actually can perform as totally neutral?

Can you predict the year in the future when all of these problems are behind us? That fateful day when problems with sound reproduction have been cured? The day when you feel like you are on the holodeck of the enterprise?

That year is 2016

The entire country of Switzerland is neutral, so I suggest all serious hifi listening should be done there.

People can define 'neutral' in various ways. How about this (?): When a playback system reproduces music in such a way that it sounds like what the mastering engineer heard in his studio, then it is a neutral playback system. Surely, good equipment is up to the task.

"The entire country of Switzerland is neutral, so I suggest all serious hifi listening should be done there."

I would suggest that since we won’t all have the opportunity in our lives to visit that idyllic land we should at a very minimum listen to the electronics manufactured there so we might gain greater insight into what the word "neutral" truly means.
