Platter upgrade for VPI MkIV?

stringreen:,

I don't, as rule, follow others' history here. I'm old school with regards to "taking people to their word". (I find it somewhat disconcerting that you, by your response, seem to put me on the hook as to explaining, (your posts) and how they may be perceived). One other reason, I find this (my time) spent explaining this, objectionable.

What I've noticed, in regards to the threads we have common interest in is this:

(1) You seem to advise in a way that can only be described as neutral, while at the same time, given your history hear,... (others'/new posters may take as gospel.) IE: One factor is your long posting history. Newbies look at this as a somewhat, deciding factor in what they may look to in terms of their (further/ongoing? research. What we post is relevant to these people we are hoping to draw in to this hobby.

(2) You have recently posted in another thread that, I believe, you started, about the basic need for record cleaning... going on to explain why it may not be needed, Then, you posted on a different thread, (in your own way) out-of hand) recommending steaming as way of cleaning lps.

(So, tell me/us, what are we suppose to conclude from YOUR POSTS regarding tis one issue?)

(3) You have a history of chiming in on anything VPI related.

(4) You posted recently, in your normal manner, in this context, get the Mag-level platter. Now, we learn, you haven't heard it.  So, tell us all now, Have you heard it, if so, why are you now saying you've never heard it, and, why are you seemingly trying to transfer the responsibilty of your posts, onto me, since I've now called you out on them?

Is this enough to elicit a responsible answer from you?? I hope so.

...and don't get me started about YOUR post, asking others on their experience with Clear Day cables then, just two weeks later, recommending them to all of us???

I'm not the only one listening as I read the other day by a poster who asked you why, since you've been a fan of Anti-Cables, you suddenly have a brand new recommendation with-in two weeks of your initial asking all here about, what we assumed to be, an initial inquiry of Clear Day Cable.

If I had the time, I could really make a better case.

Don't put your history of questionable posts onto someone who has the guts to ask you to defend YOUR POSTS?

You asked me, "Slaw, What got into you today"?

I want to know, what has been on to you for quite some time?

Thank you.

You mentioned, above, if I found one of your posts objectionable to, move along, or ignore....

I have a better idea.. How about you post an idea, based upon YOUR experience, and then advise others, based upon that experience, then be able to BACK UP YOUR POSTS, by EXPLAINING in a way that ALL can understand...

(Is this too much to ask?)

Until, you can accomplish this, (basic task), that we all should adhere to, I really find the Question you asked, objectionable. You, my friend, are responsible for your past posts, not me!!!

stringreen:

Your (innocent) response to my questioning of some of your recent responses is,... "What happened to you today?"

Common' dude, I see through this and so do others how are interested enough.

I LONG for the day that when/if you ever post again on something you feel/have experience with, ( I do want to hear an original post from you that you can explain in detail, your thoughts/listening , that really has an impact on my decision making, regarding my future purchases.)  that, people like me, who seek the truth, will no longer have to wonder, what they just read vs. the overwhelming facts that exist elsewhere, that point to another conclusion.

This statement has relevance! Your statement, "What happened to you today?" is really an INSULT to all of us who take this hobby seriously and expect, somewhat of a reasonable response to a reasonable question!

..by the way,, I don't read ANYONE coming to your rescue after your long history here?????
