Dave,



do whatever makes you feel better, but please don't ever edit my posts, if the forum software privileges permit you doing this. Guess it's pretty obvious that I don't like smilies or emoticons. My statement was not meant to sound humourous, but sarcastical.

Werner.

Dave,

yeah, written communication in a foreign language has its pitfalls! Sorry, but my posting wasn’t meant to sound angry, offensive or insulting.

Let's be cool, guys, and direct our feedback to Stan as he is the one requesting it. In typical brainstorm manner, don't criticise the ideas or the person, just make a note of them.

Martin,

Let's be cool, guys

Lads, hold the weddin' !!!, this is my v first post and i'm doing it in anger. This forum to my understanding is for discussion of hi fi and possibly related matters to help and aid members to learn of new/other things related to music. I don't know but gather that Werner and Stan have previous?? but to take the forum to the level Werner has is to my mind bordering on the rude and disrespectful.
I have booked my Bushmaster with Stan and look forward to testing/discovering it's worth. I'll take my chances based on the other products ive bought from him, and am extremely pissed that discussion of aesthetics has been brought to this level. My first and probably last post will ask Werner to absent himself in a manner not devoid of carnality.

this is my v first post

Oh dear...

No worries Werner, and your design ideas as a professional in the industry are highly appreciated.

Let's just remember the Ford Edsel - not all designers are created equal!

Hi Tom,

Whilst I agree with some of what you have said we should to make allowances for the fact that English isn't Werner's native language (my apologies Werner ). Even when one is absolutely fluent in a language that's not native to you it can sometimes be difficult to convey emotions and concepts, and equally it can lead to misrepresentation of emotions. I think this is what is happening here. Unfortunately for Werner he can come across as a bit blunt (again, my apologies Werner) on occasions.

Werner is particularly happy with the performance of his Schiit DAC and Headphone Amp and he has obviously arrived at this conclusion via auditioning. Werner has had previous experience with Stan's products and he has found the headphone amp in these products to be lacking somewhat. It's his personal opinion and I'm sure Stan is not going to fall on his sword over it, after all you can't please all of the people all of the time...

As for the aesthetics, Stan has already stated that he may make minor alterations for the better once the Bushmaster is out there making him some money, and that is what it is all about after all...

An excellent post Tom and just what I was going to write.

I always look forward to Werner's posts. They are to the point and so much better written than many of the posts on British forums; so much so that it would appear an indictment of UK education and an endorsement of the German model.

I too have never used a smilie, emoticon or "LOL" in my life and hope I never need to. One should be able to convey one's meaning without such artificial aids, Werner does this admirably - although I agree he can appear a little blunt at times (another apology Werner).

Werner, please keep them coming.

Although I could live with the initial Bushmaster model, I can now see the benefit of some of the '' improved" models. Please keep them coming too...

I now see why I wasn't an Industrial Designer.

Bw to all,

Richard

Sorry Werner, but I disagree. While that might hold true for display on computer screens and projected images, in print there is never enough dynamic range for the eye to struggle to resolve. Any print issue would relate to the opacity of white ink on a black substrate and the choice of correct print stock and ink for the task in hand. Technically the eye has more than enough dynamic range to spare, though it's easy to understand how that myth has been carried on through the years.

I'm not in anyway inclined to like or dislike you because of your profession, but to think you are the only person in the discussion who is trained in graphic design, typography or has worked in fields relating to photometry, specifically the development of HDRI rendering solutions for 3D applications would be incorrect.
