Will someone please stop this guy?
In his latest missive, the audio world's answer to Bill O'Reilly informs us that even though our gear sounds good, it probably isn't good, because we haven't thoroughly tested it. Apparently, the only good gear is transparent gear which introduces no distortion whatsoever. This would come as something of a surprise to the makers of the Neve 1081, the Fairchild 660, the EMT 140, the McIntosh amplifier, and the producers of pretty much every rock record ever.
Sorry, dude, but you're a fucking retard. The thing that separates a piece of good gear from a piece of bad or flat gear is the distortion it adds to the signal. You really need to stop writing and go back to Full Sail for some remedial classwork.

I realize achieving transparency is textbook but c?mon, even recording smooth jazz isn?t that plain. Nor is orchestral. I?m sure they use Avalons or something. No, really, I?m sure of it.
now that makes perfect sense to me (not being sarcastic, you can never tell with type)
