I'm interested in sound. Some of my favourite sounds are music.
The only good system is one true to a recording. However, being sometimes wrong-headed, I sometimes like bad systems.
I wish I understood why vinyl taken from digital masters appears more appealing than the digital masters. However, I'll have no truck with such patently fallacious witchcraft and exclusively pursue truth in digital sources.
I'm continually surprised by how impractical it is to deliver 'just' noughts and ones.
I don't like switches and connectors.
I like batteries.
I believe in room treatment, not EQ.
I believe a perfunctory speaker in the right spot is better than a exotic one misplaced.
I believe there are no good, small, passive speakers.
I believe in avoiding problems, not solving them.
I abide by the motto: “If it ain't broke, break it.”
I'm a bad salesman but a good listener.
I have an unerring knack for failing to capitalise on the next big thing on the grounds that I would never buy it because it is stupid and pointless and will never catch on.
One day I will learn to brilliantly counter-deploy this instinct to invest in overpriced, trendy rubbish in lieu of fundamentally sound, inexpensive and useful things no-one wants.
