Well, the results posted here and in the teardown thread are, to say the least, interesting and provocative.
Most of my possible responses have been covered by others already, but it is impossible for me not to note how many ad hominem attacks are produced and allowed. Any ad rem responses about the equipment would be fair game, and seem more in line with the type of group I’d hope to see here.
@amirm already noted his history with John Kenny in the teardown thread:
It almost seems unsportsmanlike to allow either ad rem or ad hominem attacks without openly offering John Kenny the ability to respond. I kind of doubt he would want to… an image of rolling on an ant hill after being sprayed with honey pops in my head…
It may be simple masochism, so he may choose not to.
I saw this, also in the other thread:
@amirm : be fair and offer him a chance to answer here. We can all judge based on the content (yours and his), measurements, photos, etc., without using the personal attacks as a poor substitute.

Note 1: the person behind ISO DAC is very active online and goes by the alias of jkeny (John Keny). He used to be a member here when I first started the forum and we banned him after a while. He and I have some history in the past, both with him being my defender and antagonist. So read what you like into my write-up here.

… but I wonder how Dennis knows this! Has @Blumlein 88 read John saying he’s aware, or made direct contact? John is active on many forums; have all been checked? I read many forums, but have not seen a response from him. Did I miss one?JK is aware of this thread. The lack of a response probably tells you the unit you have is the norm. Any maker who saw a unit that was altered and getting him bad PR would immediately want it known the unit was NOT representative.
