Socrates: Everyone is entitled to an opinion. Nobody is denying that right. If you have a problem with what i've posted or why i've posted something, so be it. Do both of us a favour and let me know. You can post it here or send it to me privately. Either way, i'll do my best to respond AND try to understand your point of view.
Following that same line of advice ( what's good for the goose... ), i did the same thing with IA. Since he has not responded to the majority of questions / comments that i brought to his attention, he's either been caught red-handed in a bunch of inconsistent lies ( as to what equipment he really does own, what equipment was used to evaluate the SACD 1000 that he supposedly purchased, etc...) or is simply too embarrassed by his own words / actions that have been collected in this forum and within his member feedback to even respond.
The fact that he has responded to other comments made by other individuals tells me that he still frequents this forum and reads these same threads. Draw your own conclusions as to how believable his comments really are. Before doing so though, i would ask that you read ALL of his comments regarding the SACD 1000 and try to keep that in perspective prior to passing judgment.
Now, i have one question for you based on your own words:
"Not everyone here is a American flag waving, WASP, high-brow yuppie prick with years of prep schools rhetoric training under their belt."
What makes you think that one has to be:
1) A "patriot" i.e. "flag waver"
2) A "WASP"
3) "high brow"
4) A "Yuppie"
5) Well Educated
to have drawn the conclusions that they did about any specific subject, let alone what IA has posted ? I'd love to hear how you arrived at such wording and the thought process that it took to get there.

Kana: Obviously, not all people can read the same text and walk away with the same meaning or level of understanding. To me, it was very clear that IA's posts were extremely inconsistent and loaded with flaws. The fact that he thought that his equipment might "blow up" if using the SACD 1000 at the 50 KHz setting told me a lot. If IA really had an SCD-1, you would have thought that he might have at least a little understanding of what was involved with setting up this type of equipment. Then again, one would have to be observant enough to put 2 + 2 together to even think about such things and tie the two subjects together.
The fact that he went out of his way to rave about the "very high quality" of some $269 Ebay speakers should have been a little more obvious to anyone reading these threads and his system description.
Many people take comments at face value without looking at why / how those comments came about or who made the comments to begin with. I am not one of those people and i guess you aren't either : ) Thanks for paying attention and the words of support. Sean

PS... I've always said that one should buy what they like and want to listen to, regardless of what the general consensus of the product is. I still believe that and hope that most of you do too.
