I think the issue here is differentiating between what I would call "pure research" and applied research. There is an old axiom that is often brought up by people who are doing pure research which is: ""If I knew what I was doing, it would not be research."
My point remains that, in the realm of pure research, not trying something because the conventional and/or existing knowledge/science says that "it'll never work", would have eliminated much of the brilliant creativity we've all enjoyed and that has, indeed, brought about changes that have emerged from any number of different fields in what were thought to be "basic laws of xxxxxx". Much has also been written about those brilliant non-conformists who have brought us so many innovations. How far that all goes into the field of audio engineering, I haven't a clue. But, I'll bet that, in the long run, somebody like a Triode, soundcheck, or SBGK will figure something out that'll turn at least a portion of the current thinking/knowledge on its head. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ rgro's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=34348 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=94770 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
