But the good thing is that you can now finally see just who this douche is as he has posted videos of himself listening to DVD audio tracks

And , as he is ignoring most of us, he will never know he's been discovered. lol
Dude sure owns a lot of speakers.
Perhaps it's funny that in a video all about sound quality, I don't understand a a damn thing he says.
But he does have a self describer "golden ear" so it's hard to argue with him
Golden Ear http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audiophile is an old audiophile myth that goes, back many decades…long before I was even into all, this Hi-Fi. You might say I do have a golden ear that pays attention to listening not one that can only hears, it but one, that listens!
I think for me it goes back to early 1975 when I saw Earthquake in Sensurround, ABC screen1 Bournemouth, at least three times and ticket prices back then for Big Cinematic Sound only cost 79pence! Today the same cinema doesn’t have the balls to play Dolby or dts at the high impact levels that the sub bass CV folded horns did in the early 70’s.
The most SPL db I’ve seen is 105dbc it lacks on 70mm prints same film that I’ve seen at the CIC Empire Leicester Square, via the original JBL THX spec at a bare minimal 13KW. Today it’s up to 56KW with custom JBL.
The reason for the many surrounds is to get simple low cost uniform coverage (around the soon) 6 cinema seats that I’ll be installing. The LCR fronts have there own amplifier for LF and HF that’s controlled though a Behringer DCX2496 (electronic frequency dividing management crossover system). Was that a bit too long?
I listen for timber balance that is sound images that pan slowing or pan left to right or left to centre or right centre as well as along the surrounds or in any direction that it was mixed in.
I was listening to that lame STAR TREK II the one of bluray and the one of DVD same versions released last year and the previous ones first and second edition UK region2 and regionB.
There is missing sound effect that is sparking electrical crackling sound on the (right front HF that is not there on the English track).
Listen to one of the other foreign language tacks and its there!
Bluray time 01:17:47
The NTSC laserdisc makes the DVD versions and the bluray shameful! The sound was on the 70mm Dolby stereo print and I could hear it even from 20 meters away from the screen at the Empire 20 years ago, so who was it, mentioned I needed a hearing aid, cheeky bugger.
So never sale your laserdisc for the sakes of this laughable bluray nonsense it is a con! The studios will keep making up poor excuses time and time and time again to milk you dry! Never Sale Your Laserdiscs! Always keep something at hand for compassion!
Even 2001 is sad case to listen to on DVD and bluay as it was completely re-mixed and all the dialogue panning was gutted and sent to the centre with only a few now and then dialogue half and hard pans.
I've still got the laserdisc! Yes that ancient sad religion to some, but I pity those who are selling there laserdiscs thinking bluray us better. If it was better! I wouldn’t be fucking complaining would I!
