Quite so. At the end of the day, you have to get on with your life - ie,
do
what you're *into* doing. The biggest compromise here is the room the
system's in. There's little point in trying to advance beyond a certain
level of fidelity/quality/sonic character without fixing the room. Since I
can't be arsed fixing the room, things will stay as they are until I can.
It
doesn't sound like **** as far as I'm concerned, and I have better things
to
do than chase the next miniscule percentage improvement that such effort
might yield. I can either knit my brows in intense concentration and
attempt
to determine the increasingly-slight differences in fidelity/blah, or I
can
go out and boot the arse off my sports car. Tough choice! :-)



Do it while you still can - they'll be rationing your 'tarmac time' before
long....




Yes. After some months, if one amp's is under your bed with an inch
of dust on it (?? :-) it's telling you summat!! ;-)

Yup!


Trevor's a dealer - they see things differently...

Funny that, I could have sworn he's an opiniated **** who's so arrogant
that
he can't see that there are more approaches to acquiring and enjoying
audio
gear than his.


I was being polite. People get consideration from me until they start with
the insults and try to come the old cocoa - Trevor's got a bit borderline at
times but he mostly manages not to go too far...

I also find his views fascinating , if not to say a little *bizarre*....??


I wonder what he does when he thinks of going on holiday to
some place he hasn't visited before? Does he borrow the holiday from a
travel agent and try it out for a while first? Or does he look at the
brochures, get the opinions of people who've been, and draw comparative
inferences based on what he *has* experienced - ie, does he take a chance
on
the attraction and just go find out what it's like?


He's got a website with an interesting page on it:

Trevor, maybe it's me, but I buy a lot of stuff untested/unseen and
go by 'nose' and hearsay - I drop a bollock occasionally, but nothing
I can't get over/put right. Life's too damn short to *test*
everything to death ...

Too *****ing* right.

What this basically gets down to is how a person chooses to approach life.
What dumb, self-absorbed ****ers like Trevvy Wevvy fail to understand that
his approach isn't neccessarily the same as that of others. Yet he talks
as
if it is. He talks down to people who don't do it the way he does - and,
in
so doing, exposes himself as an arrogant, blinkered ****.



Most people who have got a little knowledge (or think they have) like to
talk down to other people if they can. It's a common failing with insecure
types. They will scour the earth to find somewhere where they can do this
and (occasionally) get away with it - even if it means hanging around in
virtual loser's clubs like ukra....

Or a bacon roll and hot coffee. There's a cafe recently opened near me
that
does 'em *just right*. Perfect after an hour or so's boot in the Mister2!


And the Mister Too's only got a little boot...!

Anyway, the sausages I'm talking about are big, fat ones with crackly skins
and the ends extrude and get cooked crisp. You can *not* buy these in the
shops....

Seems to be endemic in some of the circles you travel, Keith. The effect
probably achieves a local maximum when you are present in them.

It's always fun to watch people indict themselves on several levels.

Like this. Perfect example of someone talking down.

Actually, it's big enough to fit a body - I'm told a six-footer managed to
squeeze in. :-)

Ah yes, proper sausages. Not too keen on flaky rolls, though - I always make
the mistake of breathing in as the crust crumbles...

I don't usually read enough of his stuff to know whether it's bizzare, other
than the pish that he comes out with about anything other than his approach
being completely wrong. That, and the ridiculous notion that 'expensive' can
be defined as something at a particular price. Comes across as a
self-important, intolerant dickhead who ain't as good as he claims he is,
tbh.
