All the brands I don't like...


In order to save time and energy and contain the fallout I’m just going to start listing all the famous brands of gear I don’t like here.

You should all be thanking me for this. :)

In all of audio there is only one gear I don't like, Luxman integrateds.  Treble like a dentist drill, sucked out mids, bloated bass. Only the deaf need apply.  Hah, just kidding.
I usually don't respond to Erik's posts but this was such a masterful trolling effort that I can't help myself. Congratulations Erik. This was not only a clever post and thread starter, it shows once again that many forum participants don't read the whole thread before they post. Millercarbon nailed it and I'm pretty sure I know why avsjerry is ROTFLMAO. Several hooks have been set in the fleshy cheeks of Audiogon fish and Erik is sitting back adjusting the drag on the reel........ here we go.

To use another analogy I appreciate a good punking. This sort of made my day.

Oh, BTW, I don't like Crosley. Yeah, that's right, I really don't like those stupid looking record players for Barnes & Noble rubes. If I could make those cheap-ass turd piles illegal I would. Every time I see one I lift up the platter and pour sand in the gears (I carry a small bag of sand for this purpose). They are as ugly as a stomped possum and it just pisses me off to look at them. OK, I've never heard one but even the idea of such a monstrosity is more than I can take. See Erik, now you've ruined my whole day. God, those record players suck. 
@noble100 ....*G* Sorry, old 'net abbreviation....or 'aberration', if you prefer..;)

Rolling On The Floor Laughing My Ass Off

Why?  I interpreted Eric's 'opener' as the equivalent of tossing a shiny lure into the water without bait.  Sure enough, the fish hit it and ran....

(You will notice he's not followed up with Any comments....*G*)

^5's, Eric!  
Mijostyn +1 Anyone who reads every word of every post probably has too much time on their hands. I like Erik's post in general, but sometimes don't feel like reading every single solitary word. And to those who are so clever they had to "read shame" the rest of us, well, you know, since you are so clever.
