What is wrong here.. on Audiogon?

I don't get it. I ask a legitimate question about help on picking a preamp for my Pass Labs amp. I get maybe 10 responses. Some other guy who apparently is not a Pass Labs fan, has a thread on Amps with lights/meters and which sound better? He gets 50 comments.. Is this an example of reality TV's effect on society? Maybe someone will become a hit on here telling fart jokes.. Just something to think about!

Whatever you do, make sure you buy one with lights, meters, and tone controls. That is what intellectuals do.

Not necessarily true about having a device with a volume control (say a dac) a preamp is unnecessary. I’ve had both the ps Audio DS jr and now the DS sr and they both sounded much better going thru a McIntosh C47 preamp compared going directly into my PS Audio BHK 250 amp. Many others on the PS Audio website have stated the same outcome, most prefer using a preamp. I tried to save $4000 on not needing a preamp but no luck.

Well, one thread was tongue-in-cheek, and the other (yours) asked for specific information that most of us can't provide. Apples and oranges. Or did you want your request treated with the same lack of seriousness?? If that had happened, at least you'd have something real to complain about.

If Pass Labs amps don’t have VU meters why would you even bother with them? Lighten up coach.
