The best and worst Audiogon poster's

Well Albert you have echoed my sentiments. To be honest I have found so many posts of value to me personally. Sometimes more from individuals that have differing views than my own. I have even LOL at some of the flamers and really don't take them too seriously, how could you as outrageous as some are? There are however one or two that post here whose motives I am beginning to question. I really can't nor would single out individuals that stand out, I wouldn't want to leave out anyone, kind of like the Academy Awards show,"I want to thank............ad infinitum but it you thank or appreciate one stated over another not, but equally appreciated, humm, not a good idea. I will only say that I value ALL posters who are honest in what they post. Over time it becomes obvious who those individuals are. I also value lively and passionate discussion, it is most important sometimes in making an individual point heard. The personal attacks if they must be done should display a bit more humor, no need to get defensive, work on a better counterattack! A last word from me is I love music, especially live music, one of my greatest passions in life. It has been with me since I remember my father singing songs to my sisters and me at bedtime as a very young child. Well-reproduced audio is a means to capture what is real in music. What is real to me may differ from you. We all must ultimately respect the differences in our own view of reality and let the music reign!

Tm12, I need to stop responding to you now, but I can't. You must have Kryptonite.....BOTH my uncle (mother's brother) AND first cousin (his oldest son), got DOCTORATE engineering degrees from MIT (yes, that one in Massachusettes...professor Bose is held in high regard around those parts, BTW...I've seen the laboratory, you should visit, heh heh.)........................My uncle thinks "digital is digital, it's all the same". He heard my system playing only an FM radio source, and was AGASP. My cousin is now adjunct faculty at Massachusettes Institute of Technology, besides having several of his own firms in the hi-tech field. He was surprised a couple of years ago, when I informed him that quality audio electronics were made in places other than Japan, and were different than its mass market stuff (Yes, I doubt either had ever paid the nearby Goodwins' Highend a visit...I didn't either, didn't have time, or my own car on my last visit to yankee-land...maybe next year)...................Tm12, if you'd shut your pie hole the hell up sometime, YOU might learn something...but I seriously doubt it, dude!.......................Do I think it was cheesy of Music Interface Technologies to chose that same acronym for their brand name? Hell yes I do, but that doesn't diminish the quality of their products in the least!!!! Cables (and everything) sell for whatever the market will pay; I guess you must not have gotten past junior high school, not to have known this simple fact. Supply needs to meet demand, and if someone can afford to pay for an expensive cable, and finds its sonic advantage over others in his system, I DON'T BEGRUDGE HIM A FREAKING BIT!!! The fact that you do proves how insolent and retarded you are! I am not a rich man (likely not as rich as EVEN YOU, my resources are quite humble). That's why I buy my cables (and everything) mostly USED. At the used price, in the right system, MIT's top of the line cables (I have that interconnect) can NOT be beat by anything...In my all encompassing, omnitient, everlasting, and righteous opinion...................Do you know how to listen? I do, but I doubt you do. DB tests are for consumer reports wussie tree huggers, every audiophile knows that. (I repeat, are you Noel Anderson?) Those test results are always skewed by tension variables (Michael Fremer a decade ago was the excpetion...that's why everybody resented him for so long). And yes, I can hear better than you, and all your buddies too...So if you want to talk DB tests, post on a page where all audio components are thought to sound the same. In other words, "you be going away now, you no coming back here no mo'"...good day, sir, and take up fishing or gardening...

Just happened to stop by for a read. This is certainly an interesting thread. The above from Tml2 is a textbook display of arrested mental development. Tell me, Tm12, do you also stamp your feet and throw objects when you get into these rants? I thought this audio site was frequented by adults. If possible, T, enjoy your day!

I think you people should make a peace! Everybody has right on their opinion, and no reason to make enemies over the "net"! Also, i despise anybody else "ganging-up" on one person (Grumpy and Gino)when they have no idea what is "bickering" all about! I like Carl, but there is not reason to "hate" Tml2. I never met the guy! So if they (Carl v Tml) have to "square-off", let it be between themselves! Cheers (per Garfish)! Anyway, never to ask you, what "Garfish" stands for...??

Hi Eldragon; The Garfish or "Gar" is a long, slender fish of U.S. temperate waters; a fast and fierce predator. And an honorable fish, IMHO. Cheers. Craig.
