This back and forth is hilarious.
Let us distill it to its simplest form.
1. atmosphere considers George’s Lightspeed unit to be a fine passive preamp device, albeit limited in its design (1 input and 1 output) and clearly not as good as what atmosphere has auditioned by way of active preamp devices (hint, hint: atmosphere’s own company’s devices.)
2. George feels butt-hurt because atmosphere views his Lightspeed passive preamp as being inferior to atmosphere’s active preamps.
3. The causal observer of this banter would conclude that:
(a) atmosphere is entitled to opine about comparisons between his company’s active preamps and George’s Lightspeed passive preamp, because the forum thread is entitled, “Have passive preamps finally come of age?” Atmosphere concludes that the answer to that question is “No,” at least with respect to the Lightspeed passive preamp.
(b) George is entitled to take the opposite view of atmosphere’s opinion, notwithstanding his disappointment in atmosphere’s conclusion.
