Concluding the Think Pieces for Awhile…

But before we switch to the RMAF Show channel….

The reason people have so many problems with upgrading their systems in an orderly fashion is due to a lack of discipline…

We are all human… and being responsible for upgrading our systems, our human frailties impact the result.

1. Something is wrong… which component is doing the stinky? You, Sir CD Player, ARE the Weakest Link. [Human managed SA Optimization]

2. Someone else’s system sounds better in some way…. What can we purloin from their system to make ours as good in this way as theirs. Pardon me Sir, can you spare a Pair of 300B tube-based Single-ended Triode monoblock amplifiers? [Human managed Genetic Algorithm]

3. There is a sound that you dream about, a sound that is the ultimate sound. . You know what you want, and you, all the time, search and think about how to get there. Imagine if you will (and we all do), a music that is so pure, it takes your problems and makes mincemeat of them; so intricate and self-consistant it reduces reality to a charactercher of itself; … sound of thunder, speed of lightning, …. welcome to… the ‘Upgrade Zone’. [Goal directed A*Star Optimal Path Searching Algorithm]

Anyway, part of recognizing these approaches for what they are and looking at the correspondingly more disclipined, algorithmic apporaches is to try and prevent us from making as many natual human mistakes when we upgrade our system, to achieve a more gratifying result.

OK. Lots more to say – but for now… Hope you all enjoyed…
