Will someone please stop this guy?

Okay, I’ll readily admit that the easiest way to avoid the articles at Record-Producer.com would be to… well… avoid them. But it’s like driving past a car wreck on the highway; you just have to slow down and look for blood, you know? Plus it’s fun to see my tirades on Zicos right next to the latest piece of worthless drivel from David Mellor.

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.
