Frogman, why do you always, 100% of the time, misinterpret my words? If you wish to engage in a conversation, let us do so.
I was comparing two different points of view. While I comically referred to "Juilliard", one of the most prestigious schools in the nation, I meant no harm.
How sad that the level of insecurity and emotional reliance on being “top dog” (to use his term) is so high that it can cause an individual to stoop to such a level of negativity and condescension. Instead of, at least, simple respect for a different point of view; or, at most, use it as an opportunity to learn something new, the approach is, instead, to demean in an effort to pump oneself up. Once again, it becomes obvious that for some it is not really about love for the music; but, instead, love for how much they want to feel that they “love” the music; a calling card.
Forgive me Frogman, I had no idea I was doing all of that, it was certainly not my intention.
I didn’t know that I was emotionally insecure; I’ll have to check the budget and see if I can afford a psychiatrist, they are very expensive you know.
In regard to KOB, you are proving everything I stated; you are taking the stance that it’s objective and one should automatically regard KOB, as the best jazz ever; while I’m saying each listener should reserve that decision for him or herself.
All of those people who spoke, spoke for themselves, and when I speak, it’s for me; I don’t allow other people to speak for me.
Frogman, on this entire Agon forum, audiophiles can talk for days about this speaker or that speaker, but as you know, mine are custom made. If my rig is designed for me, why shouldn’t my collection be the same?
