Trivializing AudiogoN...........ie: what I have is the best...


I have enjoyed and used this site since it's beginning.  It seems that many threads now boil down to people defending what they own in the manner of "what I own is the BEST!)....kind of like a high school pep rally.

Kind of on point, kind of not:

I really appreciate it when those who recommend something explain their own personal context. What did they try before, what speakers, what music, what do they want out of their system.

I am disappointed when users post a single message like "I love X" and when I ask what they have tried, it's just different versions of X, or using vague terms like "coherence." with no idea where they came from, what else they thought was close, etc.

It's like a movie reviewer. If you don't know what movies they liked, you don't know if you'd agree with them.

Best,

I get a kick out of the posters here who seem to switch out their components once a week.  It's not about the money, either.  Ah, another set of tube mono amps!  Ah, another double hernia operation...
edcyn, I relate it to our heritage as 'hunter/gatherers'....always looking for the next meal....;)

*hmmmm*  "....that looks edible.....*nibble*.....mmm....ehhh Blech!" *L*

(Or it goes down and stays there....for awhile....;)....)
Well........what I have really is the BEST!  I have a 9volt transistor radio that I go to sleep with every night, and it is a magical radio that can pick up early 60s rock and roll from "The Big 89" WLS in Chicago, I can listen to Ron Riley, Art Roberts and others do the nightly count down of the top 3 phone requests.  It is great, Gene Pitney, Del Shannon and many others...until that darn "British Invasion" came in and America kicked out the "native talent".  But, "It's My Party and I'll Cry If I Want", so there. 

Ha...Leslie Gore. 

Don't be mocking those little wonders from Japan, @whatjd .
On the east coast it was 77 WABC AM out of NYC playing all the hits.
When the music was great, that's all that was needed "gear-wise".
