So if you consider yourself as having foundation in physics or electronics then guess what. you fell for the "marketing" anyway , since "new frontier" was just a catchphrase I threw in for the title to help "market" this thread, and you responded, thanks
>> Well, Kev, you're a known pot stirrer. Regardless of that, I consider you a friend. Should I not?
Obviously the more knowledge one has about electronics and the physics of sound the more potential for informed discussion is likely to be. Which has nothing to do with being at the mercy of "marketers"
>> Not so obvious in this forum. The levels vary greatly.
Truth is, regardless of your foundational background you are only at the "mercy of the marketers" if you choose to place yourself at their mercy. You can't beat the laws of commonsense.
>> The laws of common sense? They have little to do with the laws of physics and electronics.
Also I am unclear as to what you are actually asserting. Are you saying because of the laws of physics and electronics that modeling cannot approximate specific tonal characteristics ?
