Call the Edison Company?

I know two or three who have.

Bah, indeed. To straw-man arguments!

I can't for the life of me grasp, why a simple listening situation should
arouse such tizzy. A friend who does some excellent restoration work (his
name is known here) does it all by ear. No guages, no meters, no
measurements. Very acceptable to this community. But let someone come along
with the evidently unorthodox view that audio system sound can be similarly
evaluated -- without recourse to "data" -- and suddenly people go all
sarcastic.

Strange.
