It seems to me that “drowning in Kool Aid” is no worse than what are little
more than anecdotal comments about how one radio is better than another one in
regards to noise reduction. Especially because essentially the same “leaky
LMS” algorithm is used by most if not all of them. And it doesn’t have very
much to do with how many Tera-hertz the DSP chips run or how much the radio
weighs.
On another list, at another time, for a for a very good radio made by another
American manufacturer, we had all the same never ending arguments. I’m sure if
we took those posts and changed the name of the radio, you couldn't tell them
from the current crop. Someone always thought their IC-xxx or TS-yyyy was
sooooo much better. Anyone saying anything positive about the radio in
question (on just about any topic) was immediately accused of being a fan of
Kool Aid and having gone to the dark side. It took actual measurements of
(S+N)/N to make the point that — oh, by the way — NR on that radio did what it
was supposed to do — raise (S+N)/N on the signal of interest — quite well,
regardless of how much or how little it sounded your favorite “other” radio.
Perhaps someone would like to offer up one or more actual facts, or make some
actual confirmable measurements. It isn’t that hard to do.

They were drowning in Kool Aide.
