Oh, please.

In the times when I used Texars, in just this sort of configuration, it was
little trouble to have the LOUDEST signal on the dial (with no overmod) yet
sound so much like the source that it was virtually impossible to
differentiate between the source and the air product.

Yes, I've heard that one before. Unfortunately, the sound of the
stations don't ever seem to back them up.

Before the Texar was
the big rage it was in the mid 80's, it was virtually a secret weapon in the
processor wars that were running in Pittsburgh....although it's worth noting
that most of my competition had them, too...they just couldn't make them
sound as good.

Is that why stations sounded so bad on the east coast back then? Thanks
for clearing that up.

Computers are pretty worthless tools when one doesn't know how to use them,
either.

That doesn't mean Texars aren't crap.

It's good to see that the unfettered ego is still alive in audio processing.
While you're right...the east coast and Pittsburgh, in particular, sounded
like crap...still does, for that matter. But one station did stand out for
quality and loudness...mine. You don't have to believe me, and I have
nothing that requires that you do. But...if you want to believe that your
inadequate skills have no relationship to your inability to get an audio
processing chain to sound decent and loud with as little discernable
tradeoff, it's no skin off my nose.

Just because you can't make them sound good, doesn't make them crap, either.
Just admit that you don't know how to make them sound good, since others
have no trouble showing that it's not impossible to do.

Ego?

And you don't know me, you don't know what stations I maintain, you
don't know my history and involvement with audio processing, FCC
rulemaking, or technical innovation. You have never heard or seen my
work, unless you have visited the San Francisco area. And even then, you
don't know which stations represent my efforts. Yet, you have no problem
assessing my skill level when it comes to broadcast audio. You presume
much.

Just because you can't make them sound good, doesn't make them crap, either.

Unlike you, I'm not going to brag about how my stations sound. I don't
have an inferiority complex that requires self-promotion, nor do I need
to resort to personal attacks to make my points.

I've given you my assessment of Texars. Take it or leave it. Apparently,
at least more than a few others agree since you won't find very many on
the air at major-market stations.

I'll leave it at that.
