I totally agree with your first point.
Re: NAM .... I would have thought
you know more than most as I have posted many times
in response to your posts that I have explicitly stated that there is no debate that NAM absolutely does null-test the best for static capturing ... for the umpteenth time ..... so I'm not going to engage in the
"I'm Mr Subjective and you're Mr Objective" debate
... re: NAM we are in furious agreement.
Re: Fractal - or any other end-to-end all-in-one hardware modeler ..... there is simply no designable, quantifiable objective test in existence that can prove Fractal is better/worse than L6 / Kemper / QC etc........ or vice-verse ... there is only the one that is subjectively the "best" for any person.
Re: my "personal connection to defend Kemper" [paraphrasing] ..... I nearly spat out my Weetbix as we say down here... please don't impute any pseudo-pop-psycho-babble-motivational-bullsh%t to me ..... (a) for the record you could not be further from the truth and (b) you have no idea what drives me and nor do I of you .... and thats why I don't post those kind of cheap and lazy and not-so-subtle "digs" to anyone, so am not a fan of getting them ... OK ?
My
unwarranted snarkiness and sarcasm aside ...... my simple point remains ..... as I wrote above .... that [any] comparative null test result will tell you nothing about the feel, response or sound of any such Profile or Capture when it is played back through a hardware and speaker playback system of your choice in a
live scenario be it a room / stage / home / rehearsal environment etc ........ ie:- where probably %99.99 of guitar players actually hear and play and use their rigs.
