I am done. I have deleted all of my posts here in this thread. I do not care say what you will. I have my opinion but since it does not conform I will keep it to my self from now on.
Why did you delete all your posts? If you keep picking up your toys and going home every time someone calls you out, maybe you should just go and not keep coming back.
I don't have 20 years of audio experience, but I have many close friends who do, including engineers who have run sound for Madonna, The Outlaws, The Allman Brothers, Peter Frampton and too many more to list. I've had a couple of them try to tell me crazy shit, like "recording into Nuendo the music gets saved in a proprietary format and you have to export it out over lightpipe to convert it to wave forms"
Last time I checked, wav format was not proprietary...
So my point is 20 years of experience in sound does not necessarily mean shit for credibility. You've proven that you are opinionated and when challenged you pout and leave.
Interestingly enough, all my friends agree with you - cable is cable and it doesn't make a difference. One of therm even used the phrase "snake oil". However, FOH work is different enough from field recording and home listening that maybe they never bothered to listen for a difference.
I don't know which is right and which is wrong, all I know is that you had the opportunity to spark some really interesting tests and discussion and instead you chose to be a blowhard and a crybaby. Some "professional" you are...
I've never written a post like this before, but I felt it needed to be said.
