Do we really want What'sBestForum to ever become AVShowroomsForum?...

[Robh3606]

So are we here to talk about audio or each other?

Wow I just finished reading this entire thread; it resembles my life's story!

 

[amirm]

? Why is this guy dumping-on Amir? I do not see Amir holding anyone captive. Does Amir have a secret jail?

 

[DaveC]

+1 on the HTFU thing, it's not worth it to care too much about what other people think.

 

[Gregadd]

yes he does have a secret jail..But if you were in it, you would be incmmunicado

Inmates have found ways around that:

 

[Gregadd]

That is punny

 

[NorthStar]

It sure is.

When I owned his speakers, it was VSA. Did he change that?

..you are correct...I must have had a sudden attack of dyslexia...I even own VSA speakers. Getting old is a bitch..

 

[Blizzard]

It sure is.

Great to be on the side that's winning

Yes Mike, it feels great to stand by our convictions...in knowing the difference between right and wrong. :b
There's nothing wrong by being right, and it might take some time before we realize it...for certain.
And we can change too...that's the power all of us we have and have the right to exercise.

Well said Bob

Willdo Mike. Btw, it's to my eternal shame I've never heard of the Peter Popoff guy you posted at me a while back. I was in equal measure laughing my socks off at that video, and trying to put my jaw back as it hit the floor. That is a WHOLE new level of alternative reality.

No different than we see everyday in audio. Faith is the best selling commodity in the world. You know that guys been officially debunked on several occasions since the 80's, yet he's still at it on late night tv raking in millions. If people want to believe in something, it's very difficult to change. Reality and truth has no bearing.

Amen Brother, preach it, PREACH IT right!

Mickey Mouse is a celluloid [not joking].

The first question: NO, because the high-end audio manufacturers lie & the reviewers lie.

zz.

Fixed it for you...

The side that's winning?
Mike, I hope you don't think that's you w/yr rinky dink digital. It certainly isn't us hardened dinosaur vinylphiles.
No, it's the side that has made mp3/i-pod/music on the go/listen to music whilst ironing/hot mastering/brickwalling totally acceptable and taken up by the masses.
If you really think y'r some kind of salvation, Peter Popoff has something for you .

 

[NorthStar]

..., Peter Popoff has something for you .

Oh my god lord! This guy is a total joke...I'm surprised that they let him take control of our tubes (TVs, the air), for so long! Ouch, an atrocity for our society living in this country.

Why are you even mentioning that name here @ WBF! This resonates in my head as the worst nightmare ever! ...Please, please, please. ...James Brown ok, but no Popoff's mention please for nativity's sake.

End of song, next tune... :b

Don't shoot the messenger ! Blame Blizz/Mike, he posted a whole video on the grounding thread.
I've already had a FIFTEEN minute youtube video on Psychic Healing posted for my attention on WBF (hmm, re grounding again - this stuff REALLY pisses off the grey clipboard-bearing objectivists), I'm a bit of a veteran of the cool and collected measurements crowd losing their rag at regular intervals.
Laughing aside, if Mike really thinks that buying a grounding box is equivalent to having my life's savings and self respect pillaged by a psychotic sociopath like Popoff, we have even less in common, and less than that to talk about.

Spaz, +1 re yr thoughts on the mods being in a lose-lose situation.
Tbh, there may be a growing trend, and I don't excuse myself here, on members becoming terser and terser, to the point of personal attack, maybe occas tipping over into slander.
For me, I really don't want to use the "ignore" button - this is so much like sticking fingers in yr ears and screaming "I can't hear you!!!"
And I don't want to depart the forum. Just when I think there isn't anything interesting me, something curious arises, and I follow on (eg leading to an Apogee trial I'm about to do).
And critically, I have many guys online I really want to hear their views.

And maybe more importantly, to come across like minded souls such as y'self. Not one post have you made Spaz that hasn't been really intuitive, cutting thru the cloying BS in yr inimitable way.

But yes, the mods must be pissed off big time having to try and sort out a pretty unruly playground.
As my GF says "suck it up and move on!" - in fact I can hear her right now...
