Strange. I remember those from here who decided to read it extremely
helpful with advice on how to get the best out of vinyl. Once you
remove the 'versus' argument, why not?


Don't worry, the 'Brownie Point Stacking' exercise was noted from Day 1
by more than just me - but the mystery was, why on earth should people
who, by many previous admissions, follow a special interest into its
own group to do there (claimed) what they felt they couldn't do in here?

Now that's a change of tack. First you're complaining of 'the inrush of a
few anti vinyl bigots, and now you're tacitly admitting they 'behaved'
themselves.
But as usual, you've missed the point. It's one thing to appreciate
obsolete technology, and to enjoy playing with it. It's another matter to
state in an open forum just how superior it is to current technology. When
by any measure - other than your 'ears' it plainly isn't, nor can it be
shown to be by any accepted comparisons.


Of course I'm sure you hated the fact that those same people had the
knowledge to offer such practical advice.


You would, of course, think that and, no doubt, gain a few crumbs of
comfort from so doing.....

Have you actually made the Pinky MC pre-amp? I have. If you haven't, I'd
suggest you do. It out performs any valve MC pickup in every possible
parameter. If you are serious about wanting the best performance from
vinyl.



The well-being of *this group* was a damn sight more prominent in our
(the vinyl group's proponents) vision than it ever was theirs (the
aforesaid 'antivinyl bigots'), but there's no legislating for arrant
stupidty in this life, is there.....???

The 'well being' in your opinion being to own it?


Me *own* this group? (What strange thinking!) How is that possible? -
I'm not on 'The Panel' and I never use the plural form to voice my
*personal* opinions....

It's not possible. But I'd say you would if you could...
And what you forget is that many of those you hate have been around here a
lot longer than you. But don't want to censor anyone's views - just debate
them. Dunno how you find that so hard to stomach.

'We valvies'....?? :-)

'We vinylphiles'....?? :-)

Nah, that dog don't hunt.........!!!

Now, tell me summat Plowie - if I'm the only one 'out of the thousands
you read'** in your ****ter (as you intimated a day or two ago,
apparently), how come you are replying to my posts?? (Or, as 'one here'
likes to say rather a lot - are you *lying* again...??? ;-)

As I said it was only set for a given time. I like to see if anything has
changed. At least you haven't thrown one of your (sober) drunken wobblies
recently. Toys being thrown out of prams have no attraction to me -
although of course you have to accept it with some kids.

:-)

** Really? Thousands....?????

Mind....

Boggle....

Boggled mind....

Looking at the numbers of individual authors in my newsreader at the
moment - and it is set to expire posts after 14 days - gives 876. So
thousands over a period of time is a reasonable estimate.
