Hi Edge, long time! Roll in, exactly what I was thinking.
If we knew what the hell we were doing, we wouldn't call it research would we.
I'm not sure some of the hesitancy in Mark's voice and delivery isn't an artifact of the Skype-style connection. At least to some extent. Even the video is chopped-up at times. The wide-angle view of the web cam adds to the goofy look. The rest may be the he just isn't as comfortable in a live interview for broadcast as he well may be in person.
I like what he's positing. I don't even fault him for selling his name to Lexus for their crap systems.
". . . as you have no doubt noticed, no one told the 4345 that it can't work correctly so it does anyway."—Greg Timbers
It often happens when one is actually thinking before one opens ones mouth ..... a very rare courtesy !
The host has a great connection and is very fluent, and his energized style is just a huge contrast with ML's speaking style. I'm still curious as to which "professional grade" drivers he stuffing in those ugly boxes.
I seriously doubt that Mark made any money on the Lexus deal. They're using the same logo that Harman owns, so I'd bet they're getting the royalties. Back in the 90's Nakamichi made the same deal with Lexus, but at least it was pretty good stuff and manufactured and serviced by Nak.
Some kind of happiness is measured out in miles
If he had spoken like the rest of us, the interview would have lasted less than seven minutes.
That's why I started this thread, they are "bezels" like $200,000 watches have, which are probably being used to disguise the drivers. How can a bezel make a driver better?
Gory rings not glory holes. I'm getting my sites confused.
Kim Cattrell was beyond hot back then, and he looks good in that photo. Must be the skin cream. It's like when the total nerd in high school get the hottest chick.Five years with Kim Cattrell ten years ago . Imagine!
No that's a punchline! Excellent.
Maybe he needs to use some of his skin creams.
You are correct, I was being mean. I apologize.
So when James Joyce does it it considered high art, but when Kathy Lee Gifford does it after a couple of glasses of Chardonnay it's a bad thing? That is so sexist!
Seriously folks, what is this guy using and how do they sound? Are they better than 1400 Arrays? Has he stumbled onto something? Let's identify those drivers and get to work. His HQD system was glorious.
i wouldn't apologize to that sort.
not until he/she/it/whatever makes an apology

i'd like to know what drivers he's got as well.
what ever endeaver he'd been involved with for the last 40+ years,
have been more or only slightly less than at the forefront of music reproduction ...
( i still suspect he maybe dehydrated )
I finally got to listen to (didn't watch) the interview and I thought he did fine. It was obvious right away that the host and Mark were in acoustically different rooms with different sounding microphones.
I teach a once a week class and have a couple of different lapel, hand held and head worn mic's and some of them do accentuate mouth noises, especially if ones mouth is dry and or you just haven't listened to yourself through a mic and make a conscious effort to avoid some of the troublesome issues.
Again I thought he did fine, it's not easy answering questions non scripted for an hour and I find when asking questions that require thought the nuances of his speech are pretty normal under the circumstances. And, don't forget that he's 65, at 48 I'm not near as mentally nimble as I used to be, damnit!
I think it's great, he's living the dream you know, his dream and I'm happy for his successes and wish him well.
Thanks for the link.

On a more constructive note:
I have in vain tried to find the 1936 Bell Labs papers referred to by Mark Levinson.
Can somebody provide an exact reference?
