Hi Chris,
Brad Blackwood put the 2 threads back a few days ago.The following day Fletcher made the decision to move the thread "Proper Word Clock Implementation" with no prior explanation and no discussion. I did not move it. Instead of "moved by moderator it should have said "moved by Fletcher, a PSW general site administrator"
Do you think the move is appropriate?
Regards Dan Lavry

No, I don't think it was appropriate. I don't like the idea of a thread being moved or removed unless it has really become childish namecalling or something of that nature. And then it should just be locked.
The word clock thread was a lively debate. Some of the participants were Apogee employees stirring the pot, but I think it was still left to the reader to decide what was BS, what was manufacturer bickering, and what was useful information.
Now that the thread is gone, we aren't allowed to make that determination.
I also don't think that the thread itself promoted Lavry gear over Apogee specifically. It questioned claims made that an external word clock implementation magically improves audio performance.
Your (Dan) beliefs on this topic drive the design of your own equipment, but these beliefs are also obviously going to be implicit and explicit in your forum comments. I do not find this inappropriate and should be expected when asking the founder of an audio gear company to moderate a forum carrying his name.
Chris
