How come there is no thread on the RealityCheck?

I don't have time for this palaver.

To the board: is there any chance that you might filter out posts that are largely (or wholly) about denigrating individuals, i.e. not mainly opinions about equipment or music?

Jfz, I agree completely. Nobody will even post if they get attacked all the time. I have a friend who's ears I trust, jacytoy here on agon, who tried one of TBG's RC discs and he says they are far better than the originals. I think we should be applauding Tbg for continuing to explore all things audio, and for having the courage in the face of these attacks to post "his" results. After all it is only audio and it appears he was right for heavens sake! IMHO

Gentlemen, and ladies, asking questions are not attacks. They are due diligence. No one is being attacked here. That's the constant battle cry of those who support that which cannot, or will not, be verified.

Everyone who puts forth new ideas is questioned about those ideas. As a Phd, no one knows this better than Tbg. All doctoral candidates must defend their theses. Mr. Louis should not be required to defend his invention?

There's no room in the discussion for requiring proof of the process?

Buyers of lucky rabbits feet will swear of the powers those fuzzy feet possess, but no one can provide any proof.

The RealityCheck CD process clearly produces a different sounding disc. I've heard it. The question remains if there is another burner containing identical Plextor drives that produces the same changes. This is not a reasonable question? Of course it is.

Mr. Louis has yet to provide any verifiable details of how his process is different from that available from off the shelf products. This remains at the core of the issue.

Tvad. don't hold your breath. As you saw in the post I made including quotes from him, he views it as proprietary. And he offers the opportunity to hear for yourself the benefits of his copies versus those you do of your own on the less expensive duplicator.

I doubt seriously if anyone can achieve your goal of due diligence. Lawyers like to talk that way. Yes, doctorate students have to defend their hypotheses and operationalizations of them as well as the quality of their data. But what we are talking about here is a buying decision. Some will buy cheaply and forgo quality but others will go for quality.

Your argument has always hinged on the idea that technology outside audio is cheaper and equal. This is a thesis if I have ever seen one. Defend your position, sir. Were I to find equal for less, of course, I would prefer it.

I take no offense with your posts, as I don't find you as illogical and close-minded as several others here who think an argument consists of belittling. They also do not bother me as I just ignore them. But I do think you are unwarranted in what you expect of people offering products for sale.
