Ok, I’m outta here. Said all I’ve wanted to say (to say the least!)
I do hope Michal considers more carefully how he wants to promote his ideas here in the future, and re-considers his mode of discourse with people who ask questions that challenge his arguments and claims.
Don’t be so ready to cast honest inquiry into the role of "troll." That’s never going to be a good strategy for conversation.
And just as important at least, I hope some people reading the thread have found some merit in my concern about how we approach discussing our beliefs with others who don’t share those beliefs. That we shouldn’t automatically infer negative motivations, give a good go at giving someone the benefit of the doubt, and as much as possible at least give the effort to understand the other person, and clarify our own position when asked, and respond to arguments, not simply characterize the other person.
Once again: Not my intention to "debunk" Michael Green’s products. Even though I may withhold belief in some of the claims (because I haven’t see good evidence for them), other products seem very interesting - tunable speakers, room tuning, etc, are intriguing.
I wish success for Michael (would never wish otherwise for most people).
As for "Tuners" here, I hope you will not look down on others who have different priorities or approaches in this hobby, or who even may be skeptical of some of MG’s claims, as "not walking the walk" or "not doing the hobby" or that someone asking questions of a skeptical nature are therefore "faking it." If you are super happy with your own process, that’s wonderful. Want to tell others about it? Great! But wishing to share these ideas needn’t require evangelizing to the detriment of how other people are finding satisfaction. No need to tell other people they are not "walking the walk" or "doing the hobby of listening" or whatever. Someone may voice skepticism, while still having his/her own deep relationship with high end audio, and lots of their own experiences to draw upon. And if you follow their other posts you will often see they are not "bad/trolls" but are actually helpful contributors to this site.
If YOU enjoy tuning via the MG method, more power to you! Sounds like you are having fun and are really satisfied and that’s great for you. Happy Listening!
Over ’n out,
Prof
