You have the right to be wrong................... :-)

So do you......

True, but I hardly ever exercise that right! :-)

Personal preferences are just fine,

That's awfully *big* of you.

Gee, I guess I'm just too nice for this forum...............

just don't try to justify them
with technobbable bull****.

a) When have I ever? b) Are you presuming to 'instruct' me.......?


Did you miss this bit?



As Dave said.

Who?

Plowman, and I note that you carefully snipped the content of the
argument,


Not correct - I slashed it away with the reckless abandonment of a drunken
Kazak. (Not interested, you see....)


so the horse you rode in on can expect a happy smile anytime
soon..............


Horse? What *colour* is this horse you are seeing me ride then?


(See you've also had trouble getting decent seats for Covent Garden tonight
then? ;-)

If your opponent scores a point (like I have), then admit your error

Whatever makes people think this newsgroup is a competition? That's the root of
its sickeness, and nothing else.

You valve dickheads

You're talking about the whole of the Audio industry up to the sixties.

Yup, and the E-type Jag was a great car - in the sixties......

Now even my wife's Audi TT will blow the doors off an E-type, and we
have solid-state amps which comprehensively outperform anything using
valves. There's a reason why valve fans have to use 70-year old
devices..................

**OT rant Maybe, but in 100 years, the E-type will still be looked at as a
seminal sports car. Beautiful to look at, with amazing performance. The TT,
OTOH, just has excellent performance. As we say over he "It's as ugly as
a hatful of arseholes."

Pale.

Well, no actually. The flames start when trolls flame people.

Be a good idea if you stopped doing it, then............

Indeed yes, as seminal as was the triode in 1912. Of course, both have
been surpassed in performance by newer and better devices.

Beautiful to look at, with amazing performance.

Beautiful, yes (well, the mkI FHC at any rate), but the performance
was only amazing in 1961, not in 2001, indeed not even in 1981.

The TT,
OTOH, just has excellent performance. As we say over he "It's as ugly as
a hatful of arseholes."

Agreed it doesn't look like a tinnie, and hence lacks beauty to the
eyes of Oz. To most of the rest of the world, it's a style icon, and
just as beautiful as the E-type (aside from the spoiler).

No. The Ozzie is right. The TT is really ugly :-)

Reliable and repeatable evidence................

OK, that's very good and what exactly do 'they' tell you.........?

They tell me to trust my ears - but *only* my ears.


Yesss........

:-)



(Have they mentioned me yet?)

Not by name, but they tell me that 'some people' never will be happy
with perfectly accurate reproduced sound, especially if it can be had
cheaply and easily.............


Oh, that's easy! - Tell 'em to toss the meters out and turn up the volume a
couple of notches.......

If audio is, ostensibly, for listening to music then why do you need to
trust anything but your ears?

Some people appear to have a need to *know* what's connected, before
they have an opinion on its sound quality..............
