Social Media and High End Audio

no recordings at my place. just that simple.
Ah dammit Mike. i was hoping I could attend and record a shitty tictok video of me dancing in your room — to launch my channel! ;)
 
Carlos, what is wrong with you??? Are you 12-years old? Just grow up.
Nothing wrong with me Robert. I know what I’m talking about. When people are pompous they need to be grounded.

Dear Robert,

I understand that you are a refugee from annoyingly contentious forums, and I appreciate that you are giving WBF a chance. I agree that this thread is more contentious and snarky than it should be.

We have many other music focused and brand focused and components focused threads that are not nearly this contentious, or are not contentious at all.
Ron, there’s a maturity problem with a number of participants in this thread, and frankly across multiple threads. I’ll continue to search for needed info and input when i need it, as there are quite a few folk here that i have great respect for, but i’m embarrassed for even more posters who appear not to have graduated from the elementary school payground.
 
Robert with all due respect, you telling me to grow up I take as a personal attack. Please practice what you preach!
Take it any way you’d like, but i’m not the one picking fights with everyone i can, just finding your posts the most egregious of the bunch in an already nasty thread. You have run roughshod over a number of these threads recently. Why?

Perhaps i’ve made my point with others. Clearly i have not with you. Enjoy your toys.

There's also the Ignore button (under each profile).

Personally I don't use it, I like the entertainment.

I’m not picking fights with anybody. Mike said that he wanted a piece of OCD Mikey and challenged him to a duel of their digital playback dac. PeterA and others thought that OCD Mikey would record it for his YouTube channel, which would allow the rest of us not present to enjoy and judge the competition remotely for ourselves. Mike said that he would not allow it to be video and I simply questioned what is there to be afraid of? I even went further and suggested to Mike that by posting videos there would be an opportunity for him to learn from others. I have had to inform Jay from Jay Audio Lab and now Mike that the mastering on vinyl LPs and on magnetic tape is NOT the same as the mastering on the digital release of the same recording. I guess that you don’t see it, but I’m being helpful here by educating and telling Mike not to scared and insecured with videos of his system.

Al some want to learn. By ignoring you are depriving yourself of the education, defaulting to the bottom common denominator. Some food for thought. Tell me someone who brings more to the table than I do here?
 
LOL. Are you serious?

:D

Absolutely, go back and read my posts for technical information and assess my subject matter expertise.
 
Digitalization has brought us nothing good .
Instead of relaxed listening people now have to prove themself through system vids which will then be uploaded as " Content " to feed another useless discussion.
I remember being young and buying a AC DC LP and spinning Whole lot a Rosie on a friends Dual recordplayer .
No stress no digital just music no computers no hassle

You may wish to modify the "not" with "may not". It is not a given.

Your arrogance is boundless. There is nothing to learn from you but how not to behave.

Chill out. There's nothing to argue here. He will never concede an inch, either about behavior or alleged expertise. Just move on.

Why would you EQ a digital file with the required RIAA equalization for vinyl? I’m curious to read your response.

Every LP is equalized to meet the cutting heads excursions, and by default are mastered to meet those requirements. Then there are the frequency response and dynamic range limitations with the analog and digital media.

Go to Sterling Sound Studio and you will find that recordings are Mastered separately for vinyl stamping and for digital distribution.

This is another personal attack Robert. Please refrain yourself before the moderators intervene.

I’m not sure if you are absolutely hilarious or absolutely delusional. Either way you are entertaining.

I don’t think so. You know Jeff, you go around throwing insults and I have yet to read a meaningful, knowledgeable or informative post from you. Don’t focus on me, show everyone else what you have to contribute on this forum. Point me and others to some of your content here with any substance! You like posting pictures of your room and of your system, nothing new there. How long have you been in this hobby? What is your technical background and related experience? Let us in on what makes jeff1225 more than your average garden variety poster on here. Let’s see what you have to say about yourself and let’s read your valuable contributions on this forum.
