Thank you Brad, it is nice to see this thread back.
Now if we could have back the 96k versus 192K thread, it would be great.

Sorry, I don't know anything about that thread.

Brad is working here, not answering to the angry masses.

Now, let's get this back on topic!

It was nice of the censors at PSW to decide that us readers are to stupid to draw our own conclusions about what is or is not appropriate industry discussion. They did protect an advertiser though.  I'm not sure if they are a PSW advertiser, actually, but I wouldn't be surprised. I'd like to read those threads again.  What a load of Bull Shit. No problem, read them here and here. I had forgotten about this or would have put it back long ago. Please note the fact that the company in question was not an advertiser at PSW. And fwiw, it would be nice if you guys actually knew what happened before casting aspersions.

Brad, I said I didn't know whether they were an advertiser or not. Still, they are a potential advertiser and have dealers that advertise here.  Dan said the threads were "gone".  I was not just making things up...the forum mod said they were gone, so I believed him.

Anyways, the more important thread was the clocking/Big Ben one.  I haven't looked for it but, now I do recall it being deleted to many some forum members' dismay.

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.
