    blah, blah, blah. Then why don't you just move on to a more exciting forum...

    Yep he has basically opened a tread and argued for every bizzare imposible and indefensible and wrong pow you can have in audio, i would not call that sophisticated.
    Sometimes you bite and have to meet the so called " arguments " infusing some reality in such treads.
    Otherwise the sheer output of such people as mcp would swamp th forum in bs.

    There are non technical people reading and lurkers probably a factor 10 or more than participate.
    And they don't have the ignore feature we others can enjoy ( recomended ).

    Mcp's arguments never gets better than the initial statement in his treads, but quickly gets more bizzare and confusing, so you can participate in his treads with the ignore function on , the quality content comes in the replies from others. And they cite mcp often enough for you to get the general direction.
    And this " free thinker " follows very well treaded tracks made by similar subjectivist cult audiophiles so I never seen any new or interesting ideas. Just variants on the general missunderstanding and missconception of audio such a person has, it is basically the same argument all the time.

    You can reply to the initial statement and topic of the tread all the time , no need to read the rest
    of his " arguments" mcp does not seem to notice anyway he does not really read anyone else arguments in the troll agenda he just turns it around with some even more bizzare argument and the tread grows mission acomplished.

    It was OK when mcr was the only one. But now it seems he's brought his friends/followers/sockpuppets/whatever (e.g. insisting that tweaking the thread priorities of the LMS computer will affect the sound quality of the Squeezebox, and demanding evidence from those who try to explain reality in words that a six-year old should be able to understand).

    Thus, the SNR on this forum is going to hell in a handbasket. Enough for me to get a new sig, even though I know it's also feeding them in a way. :/

    But perhaps it's no wonder ... the product line has been decimated, and there's no news about anything new ... I guess some people feel they just have to fill the silence, at any expense.
