Danny Richie's latest...

My overall impression of Dannie is he means well but flails a lot.

Well selling certain snake oil products isn't what I call meaning well.
He should recommend using that budget on better things.

The con man has to first gain your confidence in his genuinely "honorable" intentions before he can perpetrate crimes against reason. He either knows that they're selling dreams for cash, or they believe their own irrational, unproven "vision". If they know, they're frauds. If they don't know, they are either ignorant or stupid, based upon available tools and methods. To say that he means well, is like saying that Jim Jones meant well to serve refreshing Kool Aid on a hot Guyana day. Intent, whether true or later conceived to justify long term bad behavior, is no more than a footnote to the facts.

Translation: I can't afford a Klippel. And even if I could, I wouldn't know how to operate it.

100% guarantee he has priced one up..

 

[fpitas]

I'm not at all sure he'd profit from using a Klippel. It's just not what he does. We may not like it, but he makes money.

 

[tomtoo]

He knows what he is doing.
Build not bad speakers, and add some funky fairy dust to keep the bussines up. Is this bad?

Imo its not perfectly good, but he not sells homephathie to cure cancer. He just 'improves' the hearing of some self called audiophiles with some homeophatie.

No hate in me for that.
Just loosing of respect.

"It doesn't make any difference whether I own a Klippel or not to understand the value of owning that tool. Think of it as trying to measure the MPG of a car. I have the means to measure it to the hundredth of a gallon. A Klipple has the means to measure it to the thousandth of a gallon. Does it really matter? No. What you are saying is like telling one of the worlds greatest artist that they really need to be using the latest brushes." Danny Richie.

Comparing science to art isn't valid as art is 100% opinion based without any basis in reality.

Not really. A conic perspective is archived by a projection, and that is geometry in its purest form.

Art requires techniques, and those techniques can be discussed in a relatively objective manner.

Welcome to the dark side sir. We just had a rambling but interesting thread on stupidity. You have joined the "in" crowd.

I disagree.
You can take a dump on the floor and surround it with a line of tape and call it art.
You can vomit on a canvas, put it on the wall and sell it for a million.

Art by definition is the result of a set of techniques to archive something. In that case, the technique is selling it

Sorry if I misunderstood, but did you think my title was misleading?

Anyone can make what qualifies as "art" these days.

No, not at all.

I've just had enough of Danny Richie.

 

[Recluse-Animator]

That was my first guess, but as you didn't include the post I started speculating.
Probably a stupid thread, but I guess I was bored.

 

[Pablo27]

There are honorable methods to make money, and then there are ways that are not so honorable. People pick and choose according to their value system and ethics. That's the way it has been since (I suppose*) the beginning of the human race. Danny is no different.

There's apart of me that wants to believe he is just delusional, unlikely I know, but its nice to try and see the best in people.

Don't worry, medical schools are now becoming woke indoctrination centers, so future physicians will be just as dumb as the general population.

having assiduously attended hospitals 25 years ago, there were many stupid ones : they were ahead.

The only thing you can believe 100% about anyone who sells is that they are trying to get your money. It is incumbent on the consumer to gauge whether they believe what is being sold is worth their money. What the seller believes is irrelevant

 

[dfuller]

Sure Klippel is expensive, but you could just have your speakers measured by a third party instead of buying one yourself.

Or you could just do the Napier Lopez method where you do gated spins and stitch nearfield LF. No reason you can't do that and get good results, he just doesn't want to, or doesn't care.
