Please Read and express your feelings and opinions....

One of my best friends said it best "haters will always hate", so I just try to read past all those hostile postings, enjoying the good things others contribute on this site.

I sometimes visit a sailing form where they (almost) never remove any posts, but the software does provide an option to ignore posts by particular members. 

If you are reading a thread and come across a post by (for instance) <ignorant_flaming_idiot> whom you have added to your block list, it will show up as “Post by Ignorant_Flaming_Idiot hidden. Click to view.”

I think this works well, and serves to make things more civil, or, at least, to make them appear more civil.

geoffkai"Just one thing. Soundstage height should not be taken all by itself, but as one dimension of the 3 dimensional space of the recording venue."

This is a completely incomplete response but it is what would be expected from someone not practicing the pursuit of Tru-Fi in they're Music Reproduction System which is the only proven way of actually obtaining in the specific listening room the actual realistic characteristics of music this is obtained by working with properties and understanding the properties of each component within the Music Reproduction System and how those properties interact to form the whole that is the sound that we perceive. Understanding Tru-Fi and the more recently discovered ICSS factor are what is necessary for anyone assembling, adjusting or optimizing a Music Reproduction System if they hope to achieve any success other than that which can be obtained by random trial and error.

>>>The name is geoffkait. Furthermore, I have no idea what your post is supposed to mean. Do I need a decoder ring? I am not advocating trial and error at all. Actually the opposite. What are you selling?

Michael, I’m pretty sure I responded to that stupid statement of Geoff’s, as well as citing examples of how it’s synthesized. It seems to me we must have figured out how to measure those spacial attributes if we’re creating devices and techniques that simulate them. My recording/production engineer friend has all kinds of tricks up his sleeve for adding depth, height, and width to mixes.

>>>>Sorry, we don’t want that synthetic crapolla. We don’t want artificial soundstage and we don’t want your synthetic noise reduction and we don’t want your dynamic range compression. We know how to go about getting the real thing, which is buried in the recording, so we don’t need any recording/production engineer’s tricks, but thanks anyway. We don’t want added depth, height or width. We don’t want anything added. Have the decency to stay out of the high end.
