Arny's analogy is interesting, but, surprise, surprise, he completely
misses the point.

What "point"?

Neither does he even notice the 2lb of potatoes
added to his 5lb (CD) bag, at the request of his fellow consumers:-)

You've been asked time after time for evidence that these 2lb of
potatoes is there "at the request of his fellow consumers", yet
signally failed to do so.

David, You must get out of that comfy chair and do your own research,
Earlier this month I suggested a number of organisatiuons to whom you
could turn for info. Did you do so?

Since you made that response to David I have repeatedly asked on this group
for you to give the references to the AES papers you said existed. Can you
please now give some references to these as I'd like to have a look at
them?

I have the back issues of JAES and conference papers on CDROM, but have not
yet found any that supply evidence to show that the belief that people
'prefer' level compressed and clipped CDs is founded in reality. I would
like to read the AES papers you mentioned. Since you said they exist I
assume you can provide references.

There is of course ample evidence that the producers often do level
compress, etc. That point is not doubted. But it isn't the point I keep
asking about.

Also, you suggested I try talking to people in the biz who hold these
beliefs. I then asked you to supply a few names and contact details of
people who *would* speak to me about this *and* be willing to provide
evidence upon which their beliefs were founded. I'd like to repeat that
request here. If you give me that info I will - after Xmas and Hogmanay -
see if I can contact them. I realise you may wish to give me these details
privately, or ask the persons concerned first. That's fair enough.

Slainte,

Jim
