What only a few weeks on RAO in the company of "the resistance" can
do to a seemingly nice guy:

http://x39.deja.com/[ST_rn=ap]/getdoc.xp?AN=558611308

" FUCK YOU, you loathsome, psychotic, subhuman imbecile! You
deserve every ounce of vitriole and hatred directed your way."

http://x39.deja.com/[ST_rn=ap]/getdoc.xp?AN=555845659

"WAKE THE FUCK UP!!! "

http://x39.deja.com/[ST_rn=ap]/getdoc.xp?AN=558734504

"Keep it up, shit-for-brains. "

"Oh, and ... Fuck you, troll."

http://x39.deja.com/[ST_rn=ap]/getdoc.xp?AN=559035158

"Don't EVER try to tell me what I understand and what I don't
understand and don't EVER try to
misrepresent my beliefs about audio, you sick, twisted fuck."

In his own words:

http://x29.deja.com/[ST_rn=ap]/getdoc.xp?AN=559056492

"Bravo, Mr. B. You've peered into the mind of a lunatic and lived
to tell about it. I, myself, feel I've lost a bit of my own sanity
in the process. "

Seems like it was more than a little sanity that got lost! ;-)

Krooger, he was trying to reason with you, and your intellectual Kroogerisms.
At this point you only have four robots left in your camp: Mickey, Cheezika,
Steindrone, and Tommi Notsiane. Howie doesn't count because he is mostly insane
too. Face it, Kroogles, the entire group is sick of your crap. Don't you have
*anything* to say for yourself? Any self-awareness *whatsoever*? I guess not.

I've yet to hear *anyone* chime in to help Arny in my little war with him. I only
resorted to profanity when he left me no choice, and I only hope I don't hurt my
case with the rest of the world by being so abrasive and profane with him. Arny
made me do it. He seems to have that power over me.

Glenn,

Hey, don't take Arnold that seriously. Look at the facts.

1) RAO represents, what, one one-thousandth of the audiophile public?
How much real influence can he have?
2) He has shown himself to be a third-rate engineer at best, and he's
done it countless times. This is especially obvious when a real
engineer shows up and takes issue with him.
3) His many frailties are patently apparent after only brief exposure
to his postings. He seems unaware of how transparent he is.
4) RAO is his life. It's all he's got, poor thing.

Conclusion: an irritating but minor player on the audio cosmic scale.
Not to loose any sleep over. Fun to poke holes in, though.

So far you've shown, even after flying off the handle, some desire to stay
focused on the more useful topics. I've appreciated that.

The below statement seems to imply that the quotes from Glenn Zelniker
were caused by his being a member of "the resistance." However, if there
is any other cause, other than holding those opinions, the statement
below would be false.

Consider this quote: let's go to the post and see what motivated this
outburst. Is it just being part of the resistance or is there another
cause.

Here is the complete post 'til the quote:

Arny "Butt Nut" Krüger wrote:

How's this? FUCK YOU, you loathsome, psychotic, subhuman imbecile! You

deserve every ounce of vitriol and hatred directed your way.

Note: the rather polite comment about Paul Bamborough actions followed
by a scatological response from Arny Krüger. it would appear that the
cause of Glenn's outburst was not being of "the resistance" but rather
having to debate with a nasty, mean spirited Arny Krüger.
Since many seem to get angry in the debate with Arny perhaps it is not
"the resistance" the telling of truth that Arny claims but Arny's nasty
form of debate.
By the way this form of taking a quote out of context and then change
its context as you just did, is a form of misquoting. A type of
intellectual dishonesty as mention in your post on that subject.

I guess if there is a bright side, it would be that he probably has no problem
getting the Kroobitch to talk dirty to him.

According to what Glenn has said, you are correct. In fact,
Glenn, like other normals, has said he understands the
reactions and the tactics of the Resistance, but he does not
embrace them himself.

Agreed.™ And Boogers calls it "the debating trade" for no
known reason.

Just one question, Why have you gone out of your way to provoke Mr. Z? I have
gone back to the beginning of his posts here and I can't find any reason for
the treatment you have dished up.

Why not engage peple like Glenn in straightforward dialoge? I certainly didn't
see anything from him in the beginning to cause him to be on your enemies list.

No choice? That's as dishonest as anything Arny may have said to you or about
you. You always had a choice, in fact more than one.

RAO represents the 2 basic ways high end audio is treated by consumers IMO.

Arny may not have any influence but for the most part his stand is
representitive of those with an understanding of electronics.

Unless you are an engineer, ( my apologies if you are one) you have no way of
knowing.

Reasonable men can disagree.

I doubt it. He seems very calculating and make no pretense.

Words to live by, and relative to all those who choose to be obnoxious. They

I seem to have that power over many.

Every switch has at least two sides. Turning "it" on is easy.
Turning "it" "off" is harder.

IMO, power should be used for good.

Ask John Atkinson. He acts like a person who might think I have had
a detrimental influence on his enterprises. After all, they are have
faltered, and many "great men" like him seem to seek out scapegoats.

> 2) He has shown himself to be a third-rate engineer at best, and

Third rate? That good? Well, you did say "at best", so yes that is
probably a correct statement. ;-)

I know some engineers who are at least third rate and I am not
nearly as good at theory and/or practice as they are. However, we do
have these interesting discussions from time to time. Sometimes
people walk away from them and do interesting, useful things that
surprisingly enough have nothing to do with violence to my body. ;-)

However, I believe that a careful study of DN will show that nobody
has applied as much solid technical audio engineering to RAO
technical problems as I have. Some may disagree with a few of my pet
theories, but my current set of them has withstood quite a bit of
technical attack. In general, I dispense the engineering equivalent
of motherhood and apple pie. Just as nurturing, too! ;-)

If people like GlenZ would put their alleged great intellects into
gear, things could get interesting. However, thus far he seems to
has shown his willingness to piss in public. Generally, he states
"revealed truth" without details, support or proof. Then he opens up
his fly!

Of course, we have quite a few people who are unqualified to judge
engineering, and seem to just base their judgments on volume of
piss. Mr. Lyle seems to be one such person. Mr. Shain seems to be
another. People like Bamborough and Zelnicker can impress them quite
handily!

BTW, Lyle, what are your technical credentials?

Practicing "Real Engineers" generally have no time for food-fights
like RAO.

So RAO has to take what they can get! ;-)

One of the things they get is me. ;-)

Enjoy, argue constructively and technically, or killfile, those are
your logical options...

I think Glenn said it all: "Arny made me do it".

I been suspecting all along that he is some ways mentally quite
weak and easily influenced.

It is very nice that he admitted it so clearly.

Like Zip, one of these guys who would be better of had he never

It's simple. Treat me nice, I'll treat you nice. Treat me mean, I
might just teach you about mean, but more like strongly focussed on
your own weaknesses.

For example, your weakness has always been practical application. I
have challenged you on several occasions to provide practical
examples that illustrated your apprehensions or misapprehension, and
that largely seems to cause you to falter.

> By the way this form of taking a quote out of context and then

It would be except for one little detail. I provided a hyperlink to
the entire text. One click, and my "cover" if there was one, was
completely "blown". IMO hyperlinking a document is pretty much
equivalent to imbedding the entire document.

However, the context was a post about somebody letting it "all hang
out". In that context, the quote of the "all hanging out" seems to
be all that is necessary.

> A type of intellectual dishonesty as mention in your post on that
subject.

Because of the hyperlink, no intellectual dishonesty at all. Just
leaving it to the reader whether they want to expand the hyperlink
out into the full text. You obviously were able to do that, proving
that there was no concealment of relevant facts.

Thus, your claim of intellectual dishonesty on my part becomes
intellectual dishonesty on your part. Or just a simple error.

Please pick one and respond... ;-)

You're quite right, Mr. McKelvy. I was being a bit hyperbolic when I said I had
no choice. The killfile and "say nothing" options became more and more difficult
as Kruger attempted to draw my professional knowledge into question, however. The
impossibility of reasoned debate made your third option futile, at best.

Don't be so literal minded. It's neither dishonesty or weakness. It was a joke.

I hate to be so dismissive, Arny, but I can't have a serious technical
discussion about audio with you for a number of reasons. Without
getting into the more troubling problems of your lying, your
dissembling, and your incredibly irritating style of argument, one
fundamental problem remains. You don't know very much and you're a

In short, you hold people responsible being human. There is a political

Works for me, Ken. ;-)

Except for one or two little things, Ken, the facts:

(1) http://x23.deja.com/getdoc.xp?AN=550179666

Ken Kirkpatrick wrote:

"Arny, Have you ever heard really good analog? My turntable setup is
the most musical of all of my gear."

and

(2) http://x23.deja.com/getdoc.xp?AN=558642448

Which also responds to one of my posts.

You *never* read my posts? How did you respond to them, telepathy?
;-)

Analysis:

Response (1) positions you as a person who might feel threatened by
my comments on vinyl.

BTW, I don't pay too much attention to people who call black vinyl
"good analog". My personal standard for "good analog" is a fine live
recording done on a good pro or semi-pro machine, half-track and 15
ips (or faster). Anybody who thinks that vinyl comes within a
country mile of "good analog" would appear to be missing to some
pretty obvious audible differences. Or just never had the pleasure.
Or really into the the really quite audible distortion inherent in
vinyl as being euphonic.

I guess you may be pissed off at me because I did not respond to
your post in item (2) but this is the first time I saw it, in DN.

@home does not seem to do anything like a perfect job of
propagating NG posts. Sorry.

The above is to show that you act like a bully. What do bully do? They
threaten people. What did you just do? Threaten me with the revelations

Actually the claim holds because of this statement that was place at the
top of the original post:

What only a few weeks on RAO in the company of "the resistance" can
do to a seemingly nice guy:

This is the deconstruction that places the quotes out of context. The
context is the response by Glenn was motivated by your remarks. the
above statement tries to remove the true context.
The hyper links do not give you a license to misled or disassemble. Some
people may catch the disassembling, some may not, but you still are
misleading, thus misquoting, thus still intellectually dishonest.

Glen:
You are an intelligent and honest individual. You are also a brilliant
engineer and designer of some of the finest professional audio and
audiophile products in the world. Your products have received accolades
from many of the world clas engineers I have dealt with - like Eric
Schilling Gloria Estevan, Julio Iglesias, and Natalie Cole), Vladi
Meiller if Sony CBS NY (Celine Dion), and Humberto Gattica (The Record
Plant in LA). They all sing the praises of your products - as does
Stereophile and Absolute Sound, etc. Your owndentials and you many
accomplishments are extraordinary and beyond question in anyone's
book...........

........except for a sick twisted moronic self-centered asshole named
Arnold Kreuger, AKA Kroogyoola. This moron sells junkbox PC clone
computers for a living, has no credentials at all, has no industry
experience to back him up, he lies like a rug, and twists everything
faster and more completely than a Texas tornado.

Your arguing with him is like arguing right and wrong with David
Berkowitz, Bill Clinton, Saddam Housaine, or Atilla the Hun. The guy
does not think logically, rationally, or morally. He is clearly insane,
and has no understanding of the topic at hand - and he has no cognitive
understanding of your arguments - no matter how cogent you state them and
no matter how rational they are.

This makes me wonder about why you even bother anymore. The best thing
you and Shane and JJ and other rational points of view around here can do
is to kilfile him and let him argue with himself and Middius and Singh,
You'll be better off, and so will rao.

Mr. Krüger, I have refrained from arguing with you on r.a.o. for a while on
the advice of a few Stereophile readers who feel that if I do not respond to
you, you will cease mentioning either Stereophile in general or me
personally. I am sorry to say that this has not happened and I am saddened
that you continue to bandy my name about this newsgroup.

In response to your request that Gene Lyle ask me about the influence you
have on my "enterprises," the answer is none. Zip. Zero. Nada. De rien. I
only engage you on this forum to correct the falsehoods about Stereophile or
about me that for reasons best known to yourself you disseminate. Given my
druthers, I would prefer to ignore the paranoid, narcissistic, smallminded,
mendacious misery in which you seem to exist. However, my sad experience has
been that a false statement that goes uncorrected is accepted by some
observers as being true merely because it has not been responded to. So it
goes.

> After all, they are have faltered, and many "great men" like him
> seem to seek out scapegoats.

First please note that I have never claimed "greatness." This is your
description and is not one I feel accurate. Second, if I take credit for
Stereophile's success at spreading the audiophile word, I must also take
responsibility for when it stumbles. However, I don't believe that
Stereophile _has_ faltered, nor would I seek out scapegoats if it did. For
you to take credit for anything that happens to any of my "enterprises" is
about as ridiculous as poor Howard Ferstler recently making a similar claim.

And I note that elsewhere in this thread, you claim that if you are treated
"nice," you will behave similarly. Sadly, this claim of yours is not born out
by the record. Both Paul Bamborough and I treated you with respect and
politeness when we were trying to educate you on the subject of nonlinear
music editing. Yet in return you were profane, insulting, and demeaning.

Glenn Zelniker tried treating you with respect and in return you behaved in a
similarly disrespectful manner. Now that he has given you back in kind, you
make him the butt of your "humor." Tell me sir, if you respond to postings
both polite and profane in the same derogatory, confrontational manner, when
_do_ you act nice? -- John Atkinson Editor, Stereophile

I couldn't agree more Glenn. In my opinion, you have treated Mr. Kruger with
respect and courtesy in all the discussions in which he has entangled you
until very recently. In return, you got slimed as Mr. Kruger, unable to make
any technical defense of his position, tried to reduce the discussion to
issues of personality.

And if you try to take the high ground, as Mr. McKelvy suggests, Arny
continues to take potshots both at you personally and at your professional
competence, as he continues to do with Paul Bamborough and with myself. Yet
if you try again to engage him in debate, you will again get drawn into his
paranoid web of obfuscation and deceit. Perhaps your current strategy truly
is the only one a man of integrity can adopt when faced with someone as
seriously disturbed as Mr. Kruger appears to be (as George Middius has
pointed out all along). -- John Atkinson Editor, Stereophile

To my mind, Ferstler may be taking this tack (i.e. humor). But I fear
that Arny has, indeed, trained them to fight back in an undignified
manner. I suspect he's pleased.

No, I don't think so, Mike. RAO represents the extremes for the most
part. The objectivist extreme, which has NOTHING whatever to do with
objectivism, no less audio, is epitomized by Arny and seeks to disparage
personal preference. The subjectivist extreme, which also has NOTHING
whatever to do with subjectivism, no less audio, ferociously attacks
those on the other side, mainly on preference issues.

FWIW, I believe that the great majority of people here agree on most
technical issues, leaving them little to argue about but personality and
preference issues.

I think Arny's "stand" is very, very UNrepresentative of objectivists
when it comes to preference issues. Regarding technical issues, he seems
to be knowledgable up to a point, but he has little insight as to where
that point lies (viz. controversies with Glenn, jj, and Paul).

It is his calculating nature that is so disturbing. He calculates on
turning errors of his own into personal slugfests, mainly, I believe, to
cover up his own failures. In this manner, he has turned potential
"friends" here into enemies.

Gene's point is certainly not proved, but it is hardly absurd on its

You're just inviting more of the same blArnii Krooglish. Sometimes, of
course, when utterly cornered, he ignores the post that cornered him for a
few weeks, then in another thread, repeats the idiocy that got him cornered
in the first place.

If you unwind the discussion, that question need to be asked, of

If you go back to the beginning of his posts you will see his
attack, followed by his escellation of attacks.

I'd like to, but his approach has been basically: Things are the way
I say they are and you are insane to try to discuss the details

You must have missed some stuff.

IMO, nothing I said to Glenn should have provoked all this weirdness
from him. He just blew up in my face and kept blowing.

Enumerate those claims, please. Without lying. I have repeatedly said
I would fail your pcabx 16-15 bit challenge and that this dither
business was subtle at best and not reliably distinguished at ordinary
levels with non-pathological musical material under ordinary listening
conditions in ordinary rooms. I have said this over and over, Arny, and
made no technical claims beyond this. I have said this at least three
times in the past week and will gladly post references to support it.

I did, however, clearly state that there are very real situations in a
mastering environment (specifically, digital fades to silence of digital
source material) where dither is absolutely needed and the
presence/absence is readily audible.

Enumerate your claims, you lying sack of shit. You are so wrong on
this. I'm so sick of you misrepresenting my words and trying to turn
things around to meet your own pathetic need to look correct when you're
blatantly wrong. You are a miserable liar of the worst magnitude and I
will do everything I can to crucify your sorry ass unless you admit you

Dear Mr. Krüger,

The point that Phil made was that you designed your post to make it seem that
Glenn Zelniker was being rude to you out of the blue. Whether or not there was
a hyperlink was irrelevant: that was the rhetorical effect. And it was a piece
of (only too typical) dishonesty, because the facts remain these: Zelniker made
a rational statement, but you responded by dragging-in one of your obsessional
references to feces. This is presumably because you are unable to summon up any
form of rational argument, so instead you dredge slime from the infantile
cesspool of your mind.

Zelniker then lost his temper, and quite right too.

And you, dishonest little dissembler that you are, pretended that this was
something to do with "the Resistance", which Zelniker has not identified himself
with and with whom he has had no argument, and (knowing that you were being
refuted yet again) are now trying to obscure your dishonesty with pseudo-logical
bluster.

You are as pitiful as you are immoral.

Dear Mr. Krüger,

I have asked you this before, but you don't answer. Why are you so deeply
obsesed with human bodily waste? Every single day you refer to it in one or
other of your posts; every single day you talk about it in connection with
someone you dislike.

And here is the interesting thing: you only seem to talk about urine or feces
when you are discussing someone who has annihilated your arguments, and shown
your knowledge up as the trite and superficial rehash of half-understood science
that it so transparently is. Not, I think, a coincidence.

You say:

>I believe that a careful study of DN will show that nobody
>has applied as much solid technical audio engineering to RAO
>technical problems as I have.

You are confusing quantity with quality. You do indeed post far more advice
than anyone else on this newsgroup: however, it virtually never has any
technical depth. Zelniker, or Frindle, or jj say more in a single post than you
do in a month.

I believe that you know this, and that it deeply upsets you. You know that you
are hopelessly outclassed in argument and knowledge, and I suspect you can't
even *understand* much of what is being said to you. I propose that this is why
you have to twist and distort it, why you endlessly change the subject, and why
you act so relentlessly obnoxious. You are desperately trying to obfuscate the
truth: and the truth is that you don't really know what you are talking about.

Your tactics don't work any more, Mr. Krüger, if indeed they ever did, and I
think you know that too. So what's left to you? Insults about excrement, the
most infantile of all obsessions.

I suggest that you now confine yourself to giving simple advice to those for
whom that is enough, and leave the serious engineers alone. On balance your
advice probably does more good than harm, and by not getting out of your league
you would save everybody a lot of trouble, and yourself embarrassment.

I have just re-read some of your conversations with Glenn Zelniker. You don't
understand a word of his technical points, do you? Hence the volume of your
nonsense and dishonesty. As always, please feel free to explain rationally why
what I have written is 'piss'; remember, you will need evidence.

Mr. Krüger:

I already knew that you had trouble distinguishing yourself and me. Now you're
confusing yourself with Mr. Zelniker.

*He* has produced a completely credible description of the background to the
generally accepted things he says about dither.

*You* have produced absolutely no evidence at all for your claims.

The burden of defense is on you, not on him. It is absolutely no use pretending
that any of this hangs on your own technically-suspect and uncontrolled PCABX
tests, and your repeated attempts to obfuscate by dragging them in is either
disingenuous or self-obsessed to the point of deluded solipsism.

You lie again, scumbag. Is this the best you can do when you're

you are abusive to the truth. You are a coward and a liar of the worst
order. If I could find a way to be more abusive, I would.

Just admit you're wrong and I'll consider relenting. You are hopelessly
outgunned technically and incapable of admitting it. Face it: you're a
little pissant know-nothing and it's all too easy to make you look like
the moron you are. You make it soooo easy. Show a little humility when
you've had your ass kicked up and down the NG. Your arms and legs are
missing, your teeth are all knocked out, and your eyes are blackened.
You seem to be the only one who doesn't realize it. Be a mensch. Tell

In short, JJ, Glenn had stated repeatedly that dithering
should be employed routinely in all situations. In the few and rare
instances where its benefits might not be immediately apparent, it
does no harm at worst, and might provide some benefit at best.

Mr. Krueger has argued strenuously that there are instances
where dithering is not necessary and should not be done, and that Mr.
Zelnicker is wrong to insist that dithering should be applied
regardless of situation.

I believe that sums it up.

Ed

At least, that's what I've gleaned. Others should feel free to
add, subtract, edit etc.

This has got to be one of his more psychotic ramblings. I think JA has
spoken for himself quite effectively and needs no help from me. He's
part of a successful publishing enterprise. He understands his subject
matter. He doesn't dodge face-to-face debates. No, I don't think John
is particularly concerned about Arnolds "detrimental (maybe we should
put the emphasis on the term 'mental') influence" on his publication.
And Arnold, if you're listening, would you be so kind as to translate
the "...they are have faltered..." part of his statement, please?

I stopped by Barnes and Noble and Borders Books tonight on my way home
from the office looking for a copy of "Krugerophile" or "The Absolute
Krueger" or "Hi Fi News and Krueger Review" but I couldn't find a
single one! Danged if they never heard of 'em! Must have been sold out
of the works of that great influential audio nut from Michigan.

I have no interest of any kind in Arnold's body, including doing

It's not just his technical knowledge, it's his attitude and corrosive
argumentation that's the problem, as has been pointed out countless
times buy countless posters. But, yes, his technical arguments are
also often pathetically weak and uninformed, as been apparent often
when he bumps up against someone with greater skills and knowledge.

Ah, we come now to the inevitable dick-measuring part. Technical

people like Glenn Z and Paul B post. I can put 2 & 2 together. Nothing
more than the command of the native tongue is required.

My option is to occasionally assist in pointing out Arnold's many
frailties because I find it enjoyable. One of his obvious failings, of
course, is that he does not "argue constructively." Not even close.
But I'll admit it is entertaining to see him consistently trashed for
his pathetic efforts. Good show.

Wrong. The reason the quotes are in context is the hyperlinks, and a
sentence at the beginning, end or middle of the post does not negate
the presence of all the hyperlinks to the original text.

>The hyper links do not give you a license to misled or disassemble.

The hyperlinks provide near-instant full quotes. Therefore, they
provide the reader with the means to reach their own conclusions.

>Some people may catch the disassembling, some may not, but you
still are misleading, thus misquoting, thus still intellectually
dishonest.

Since I have effectively provided the full text in a larger context
via the hyperlinks, all that can be said is that some readers will
read the full text and reach their own conclusions, which may or may
not agree with mine. I have not done anything to keep them from
seeing every relevant fact with the greatest of ease.

This is very unlike ordinary quotes in academic papers were
expanding a quote to the full context requires additional, often
time-consuming research.

I did not cause Glenn to start a war with me. I was perfectly happy
to converse with him in an ordinary way, as I had just previously
done on RAHE, and had Glenn continued to make reasonable posts, I
would have continued to do that indefinately.

>This can hardly be call honest debate technique.

That sentence could hardly be called something that was written with
even a modicum of care or consideration. Anybody ever tell you about
being consistent with tenses in a sentence?

Straw man. I did not hide any information. I included it in my
document via a hyperlink.

Now, is intentional fabrication of straw man arguments conformance
to a good standard for intellectual honesty?

In your world, seemingly it is! ;-(

That is what the facts show started at the onset.

So you would like us to believe. However, the facts are there for
all who have a NG client that quickly activates hyperlinks when you
double click them. Does your NG client do this?

This would appear to be an intentional removal of relevant evidence.
My version of the story is that I had an interchange with Glenn over
on RAHE where he attempted to correct a technical error I made. I
agreed with his correction, but unfortunately he also made a
technical error in his correction. I saw it, but did not want to
embarass him. But, somebody else also saw it and corrected him.
Shortly thereafter he started ranting on RAO with the following:

http://x22.deja.com/getdoc.xp?AN=554995387

"First, there was Arny's utter annihilation at the hands of the
estimable Paul Bamborough."

And etc.

The rest is yet another tawdry in the shameful history of RAO.

I believe that your associate has made an important observation. The
name of this group should be changed to rec.arny.opinion since it
seems to have a lot more to do with me than audio! ;-)

Thanks for your contributions to my ever-increasing USENET
pervasiveness. I believe that you can find out more about the
official procedures for making such a change at

No, I think that is an insult to all the great fourth-rate engineers
in the world. I don't know what "rate" I am, but IMO its someplace
down around "Barely an engineer". IOW, about 100,000 times the
engineer that you could pretend to be, were you so inclined and
ambitious. ;-)

In short, if somebody starts talking technical, your eyes roll right

Let's talk about you calling my credibility into question when your

I think that one need not to get down on his knees in front of an
open zipper to expose my frailties. I think that rather, you
actually enjoy that postion for whatever reason. Hey, whatever winds
your clock! I guess that if one is into that sort of thing, it works
better for you if John Atkinson praises the guy with the open zipper
before you do your "stuff". ;-)

IMO, the better show is just watching you be you! ;-)

Have a great day, and I hope that you are able to use what you
demonstrate so well on RAO to further your academic career.

I've definitely seen that work for others. ;-(

Last time you corrected me on RAHE I graciously accepted your

AFAIK, that is the last TECHNICAL discussion we had. Since then it
has just been you pissing in public at RAO. Well, good excuse to

Oh, I love this. We finally get down to the real issue: PCABX.

Please explain my my pcabx tests are uncontrolled and technically
suspect.

You might want to cite actual results that you can point to as being
"uncontrolled" and "technically suspect".

And, provide a list of technical items that are not, in some sense,
suspect.

If you think that is easy, you might want to read Frindle's recent

nature of science and my virtual ownership of RAO. ;-)

You have hardly annihilated my arguements because they continue to

That has a lot to do with the basic nature of the questions that are

Frindle is IMO quite cool. JJ obviously knows his stuff, but his
track record for "cool" is pretty spotty. Thusfar you have been just
a bombastic, posturing waste of my time. Maybe you could improve,
perhaps by thinking about 10% as deeply and clearly as Frindle does.
Does Frindle do any work for you?

However, if you would like to take exception to some of my technical
comments, or try to duplicate a tiny part of my track record for
helping people in trouble, please be my guest.

I wish that were true. It's sort of like the knowing the difference
between good and evil. Take Shain. He seems to be an absolute audio
technology know-nothing. You make him very happy. I'm in favor of
happy. Happy is good. I read your stuff and realize what a posturing
fool you are and how throughly you have deceived yourself about your
personal magnificence. This makes me sad. Sad is bad.

My tactics work just fine. You are still engaged. You are still

wheels.

My strategy is also beginning to cause you pain. At some point the
pain will become more than what you can stand. Bye Bye Mr.
Bamborough! ;-)

FYI, I have sbsolutely no inclination nor ambition to be an

You might want to clarify this for me. What "academic career" are you
talking about? Do you have me confused with someone else?

You have a great day, too, Arnold. By the way, do you do all this work
out of your garage or your basement or from your luxury office suite
in the massive "Kruger Building," headquarters for your many
successful audio enterprises? Just curious.

Arny has completely lost it and is grasping at straws. If anyone really
cares, they can revisit the original posts and see that Arny confused
the concepts of probability density and power spectral density. This
was an egregious technical error, one that I felt needed correction. I
attempted to set the record straight, erring in the process, myself. I
referred to PDF as probability distribution function, not probability
density function. Certainly an error that could be construed as
conceptual, but in reality I know the difference quite well (references
available upon request).

It's obvious to anyone that Arny's usage of the phrase "didn't want to
embarass him" is pure bullshit. This isn't in his wetware. The simple
fact is he didn't catch the error. And to compare his error to my error
is crazy, anyway. Furthermore, he's now trying to make it look like
this was my motive for attacking him. This isn't going to work, Arny.
Stay on topic.

Immaterial as usual. Question, did your action cause the outburst?
Answer: from a review of the post it did. Your are above making claims
that you are not backing up. The complete post is evidence to the
contrary. If you don't show evidence, you are just blowing smoke.

No straw man since you edit out the remain of the post that explain the
reasoning. let us review:

--------------------------

Also in an academic paper if you hid information that contradicts your
base


contention this would be consider academic misconduct. The assumption is

that the writer is trying to hide the fact from the not careful
reviewer, just as you were trying to hid the fact from the not careful
reader. It is consider unacceptable technique and is ground for
rejection of an academic paper, as well as a removal from a Ph.D.
program.
To put it simple, you don't lie or misled. You put everything out front.

You don't leave it out and you don't hide it.

-------------------------------------

Your brought up the academic convention. In academia the requirements of
technique are far higher than for normal discussion. There can not be
even the slightest appearance of impropriety.

Let's make this simple:

1. You are not arguing that you didn't misled only that you did it
properly by hiding it in a hyper link which by the way was broken on my
reader and for many readers, if they older usenet readers, wouldn't work

2. It is my contention that properly done or not the purpose of the post
was to misled.
3. Misleading is to imply a bad action, Glenn Z's outburst was caused by
persons you dislike, but the evidence shows that it was you, Arny, who
caused the outburst.
4. The whining about technicalities seem to be another attempt by you to
side step the real issue that you posted a misleading post for the
purpose .... good question I don't know why you did this, ego, to pick
on your "enemies" who knows, but it is transparently wrong.

This is probably another example of utter concreteness of

me on this if I'm wrong, but isn't the inability to think
figuratively a symptom of schizophrenia?

Paul, I think you had him pegged perfectly. This level of
"thinking" is absolutely commensurate with the
finger-painting level of Kroogles' "engineering" skill.


Arnii, your ability to deny what is obvious to every sane
human on RAO never ceases to astonish me. It almost
surpasses your proficiency at uninhibited, spontaneous
lying. Keep up the sad work!

Paul, have you been watching his discussion with the ingrate philistine
'tkrieger', who insists that there is interpolation in ADC's, that
all antiimaging filters are some truncated or windowed sinc function, and
that an antiimaging filter is some kind of interpolator, not something
that simply removes out of band components?

If not, you may find another side to this admittedly annoying individual.

Capitol Steps, from "A whole Newt World". The best track, though,

the target, I bet.

Ah, yes, my favorite is "Peter and the Commissar". I only have it on

Yep. Got all of his stuff both on vinyl and CD, except for the
missing 10" vinyl that somebody scarfed from me :-( My favorite
is "Little Johnny Jones", it might have to do with crouching in
the hallway of the grade school as a little kid while the PA

Someone I've heard of, and who I need to go home and listen to. ;-)

Btw, you ever run into the Austin Lounge Lizards? Also what you might
call "equal opportunity lampooners".

How's that?

You mean he's holding the right position, then? Where does that,
then, place yours?

I grow tired of your continuing to drag me into your fantasy life Mr.
Krüger. But more importantly, perhaps you should start thinking about the
effect of you making statements like the one above in public. Or your
continued references on this newsgroup to defecation. You have stated on a
number of occasions that one of your sources of income is from working as a
consultant on audio matters for some quite major companies. I do not imagine
if any of your clients read what you post in this newgroup that they would
want to continue to be associated with you.

I respectfully suggest that you take more care regarding the tone and
language you use in your postings. -- John Atkinson Editor, Stereophile

Actually, my stated position was even milder! I wanted to give Kruger nothing
controversial to latch on to. Here is the totality of my REPEATEDLY stated
position:

Digital fades to digital silence of digital source material are audible in quiet
mastering rooms with good equipment and experienced mastering engineers. I never
said anything beyond this. You can check me on it.

Arny has even given me his smug "where's the beef, then ;-)" retort as if to
indicate agreement. He then attacked me yesterday for making false claims about
dither.

I will go one step further than what I said before and indicate that I'm also in
agreement with Ed's position above. I still defy Kruger to prove me wrong.
