Should there only be one company making gear?

Slappy, y'all better keep one eye on'yer rearview cause me'en sum'tha good'ol boys are gonna' be out this weekend lookin for sum SS-luvin', beer-guzlin' yahoos, like your own sorry-ass self, to put the hurtin' on sumthin' fierce. We'll be slicin' up some whoopass pie and there's a mighty big piece with your name on it Chris! You'd best pack up that SS boat anchor in the carton it came in and git your Yankee-hiney cross the border a'for we knock it back to the 1970's where'n it belongs! Y'all can leave the interconnects and powercords behind cause you won't be needin' those where you'll be heading. Your kind's been polutin' the clean mountain air of the Rockies with that harsh, head-bangin' sound one late night too often! Y'all better re-read the lil' piggie's advice there bud, especially the "flight" part and start flappin' sumthin' other than yer' butt-cheeks.

Now what was I saying about tolerance and perspective...? Screw it! There are way too many folks out there like Chris, who seem to think the sounds coming out of their SS rigs have some remote similarity to music. As long as there are folks like that out there, drinkin' from the same fountains, sitting in the same classrooms as our children, taking up seats on public transportation, why then every red-blooded American patriot should see it as their duty to rid our nation of this plague of transistor-worshiping lunatics!

Slappy,
I'm afraid Marco is right. You pinko commie freak.

KP

PS. You are also deaf, and probably flea-bitten.

PPS. I take back the flea comment. No flea would want to associate with you.

PPPS. You smell funny.

Nrchy, why so thin skinned? Do you really think those people would respect you more if you spent more time rebiasing your output transistors or better yet chasing down NOS Motorolas? Maybe you should get an amp that breaks down more often or can't adequately drive a full range speaker.

Hey, if you guys wanna play with yer distorted-assed-tubes go right on ahead. No! Really! Im sure with a THD of 10% that yer getting the best experience possible! Gimme a break! Hell, Look at that WAVAC $350,000 piece of junk! Tubes are the BOSE of the OLD

HA HA HA HA

I dont need no stupid Magic Glowing Bubble sticking out of my rig to give me a good musical experience!

Come on you old farts! Time to put down the six pack of Ensure and take a listen to something called Technology. I know you all got a chance to see mozart in concert, but things have actually advanced since then.

"Oh no, my tube is going out!" Better get some vasoline, cause ill tell ya where to stick those glorified light bulbs. Maybe it will provide enough light for the proctologist to find that stick you all have been looking for over the past 6 centurys

Flea Bitten? The only Flea Bitten thing i see are yer dogs curled up in front of yer amplifiers thinking that its a fire.

Solid State! SOLID!

Ya rotten semineferous tubual buttnoids.

;)

I feel so, so, very small! What have I done?! Slappy, you have shown me the error in my ways! I am SO TERRIBLY SORRY! Your words have mvoed me to an epiphany! I don't quite know what it is, or what it means, but I had it. I think I saw God, and he looked a lot like Nelson Pass! How could I have been so wrong? But, uh, KP is right...you do smell kind of funny. Oh, and me and the boys'll still be delivering that slice of that pie to you. We'll be sure to find some other reason for kicking your ass when we get there, but sorry for all the guff about the SS thing.

Marco
