plenty of info.
i was really intrested in your reviews on the chinese amps as im considering
buying afew different types to try out,as you stated at the price there
selling them it would be foolish not to,i have a question,who on ebay did
you deal with as that is the biggest worry,any help there would be of great
help as im worried of getting ripped off.
also whats your favorite,want to try 300b se and anyother extreme types that
other exellent sound per pound.
im in england so as you pointed out if they where a uk product they would
have a price tag 4x there value!
ive been running some ming-da 845 monoblocks and there mc7 pre-amp,im really
impressed and there over a yr old now without any problems..all in price

But you *haven't*...!!

There's been no *hobby* in this group for months (years?) now...

(rant about crossposted slanging matches and the interminable 'techie'
arguments from so-called 'pros' snipped)

OK, never mind.....

*hobby* group?

What's really worrying though, Keith, is the fact that this guy is in
England. Setting aside the mobile phone style presentation, the spelling and
grammar, are awful. Is this really what our schools are turning out now ? At
least the American guy's mail to you yesterday, was presentable, if a little
flowery.

Yes, know what you mean. For some reason I take more badly with thicko posts
here than I do with thicko emails - not everyone is a typist and at least
they have made an effort to respond! (Although I reckon sloppy is as sloppy
does....!!) As I said earlier, I get a fairly regular stream of emails from
all over, due to the webpages and most of them are perfectly acceptable. The
English guy also posted in HTML - that's an even bigger ****er than no
capitals in my book!

(Maybe the guy's shift key is busted - bit like the 'broken daisywheel
printer joke': 'Ewar Woowar starring in The Wicker Man'..!! :-)

The important thing is (****e-looking emails aside) is rolling the hobby
along some - hobbyist 'audiophiles/enthusiasts' are a dying breed according
to some sources (AV and iPods taking over kinda thing), the only mystery is
why should I worry? I've already got more than enough kit and records I'll
not live long enough to play!!??

"Moderate" is something I'm not often accused of.


And techies have just as much right to arguments here as you, y'know.

Well the clue is in the word "killing". Just kill the threads you
don't want to read. I do it all the time. There is only one person I
have killfiled, and he has just stopped posting (in the other place)
for the summer.


further rant snipped - I'm losing interest....


Then get yer money back in the bank quickish.

You're missing the point, lad - I'm not losing interest in *music* or
'audio'.....
