TBC: I’ve never claimed I have not said I prefer one amp /speaker/whatever over another.
Nothing wrong with having a personal preference, and expressing it when asked and appropriate. I mean, my god, if we didn’t have preferences, this entire web site would be 1 message long!!
My quote, above:
Wow, huge difference in my dislike for particular brands, and being on a crusade.
I’ve never disrespected anyone for liking Pass. I’ve never told them they were wrong.
And that is why I don’t see @golfnutz claims of my alleged hypocrisy valid.
The issue is not whether or not an A’goner likes a particular technology, it’s whether they respect the wishes of the OP or those who disagree with them.
So you seem to have quoted me, though I have not checked to be sure, lets go over the last two:
Spectral is a line I wanted to be impressed with, like Pass, and I just haven’t. They do not bring me joy.
On the opposite end of the spectrum is Pass. A sound I really don’t like.
First, @Golfnutz, I have to thank you. I’m pretty sure no one on earth has been paying attention to anything I write more than you, so as my biggest fan, I’m flattered.
Those comments and comments like them are fine.
Please point to a place where some one says "I love x" and I say they are wrong.
In fact, I make it clear, often but not perfectly, that I’m expressing my personal tastes, while not demeaning others for having different tastes. When George turns around and starts talking specific modern models, and characteristics he’s herard, instead of random statistics which may or may not have any correlation to a listening experience we’ll all be happy.
Also, while we are at it, can you please point us to the original threads? I'd love to show that my statements were in context, and contributing to a discussion.
Best,
Erik
