(I have lots of comments that I'd like to add here, but I shall refrain because I don't want my post to be deleted before the previous article has been read... perhaps later when the ironic tone of this post has been fully established!)

I like it, although another topic heading might be a wee bit more appropriate :wink:

Cuttime, you're clearly overreaching in your fascist views; the whole argument reeks of Nazi overtones and Hit...

DOH!

I lost! :roll:

We're talking about comparisons in which we defend one platform over another based on little more than personal feelings. But are we sane to defend this behavior? No, Mad! FACT OR Even falsehood pass through the Filters of personal preference and become the stuff of Acoustic Legends. How many such stories do we read in forums like this? Trilians. We just don't FocusRite. This kind of wild speculation is a Quantum Leap from the Synergy that once enabled us to Evolve from our primitive Kore of analog based thinking to grow more in Kontakt with our Massive egos. The very Lexicon of superstitious audio mythology flows over people in Waves as they come up with imaginary Reason after Reason why Logic is the only Perception of value. We need more "N"ovation and less "N"uendo. We need to MakeMusic. And for that, little on this EarthWorks as well as DP. Well, Traveler, before you hit the Rode, I suggest you toss out the extraneous conjecture and pack UltraLite for the most important Mix of your life, and remember one thing for Shure; if you're going to B 1, you've got to be able to C 1. Some of you may be thinking BFD, but that's only the Final Cut before the Peak of the Manly egocentricities that got us to this lack of Vision. See you in the Ozone.

Ok. Marantz over.

Mea culpa. Morse so, the bel tolls for me. The negative feedback about my bias that I pickup has amplified the forum's assertion of my abuse of the word. Clock the frequency of these abuses, and one can see these impedances increase logarithmically. Fouriers I have come to these forums and enjoyed your trust, so it Hertz me deeply that I can't attenuate the problem's root. "Mean Square", you are probably thinking, "This doesn't phase him the least significant bit!", and this synthesis is probably right. Watt to do to coax positive overtones and get a pass. Band together and reverberate the gain that may SMPTE sum samplings as a great limiter and equalizer. Please accept my apologetic input.
