Gentlemen - we all contribute to Jay’s thread. That doesn’t mean we all agree.
But what we should all agree to do is respect each other. There’s a lot of things I can elaborate on - but I haven’t because I didn’t want to seam disrespectful. The attacks on each other? I’ve said before we’ll all have urine on us if we keep urinating on each other.
All during Christmas?
I mean - how awesome is Jay’s system? Can’t we pick what we like and respectfully put aside what we don’t? It doesn’t mean we can’t say we disagree - but how about whatever is said, that it’s said nicely?
Am I really saying this? Jay has what I would refer to as a top 1% system and we attack each other? Really?
How about, WE TREAT EACH OTHER WITH RESPECT and one day we can try and do a Zoom meeting together? Or better yet, start our own organization - we could call it "The Jay Club"! I mean, we’re unlimited in the things we can do if we give this a positive, healthy perspective.
HOW ABOUT STOP URINATING ON EACH OTHER?
Now - for something I was going to say earlier but didn’t. I’m bringing it up because I want everyone to know I speak / type the truth and because I hope Jay (and everyone else) is aware of this aspect of the dealer / client relationship.
I represent cables - if you remember, I said I hope one day to visit and share with Jay the best cables I found and see how they compare to the best cables he’s found (and at the rate I’m working - I’ll be dead before I get a moment to myself).
I said this because 1 - Jay sometimes has different objectives / goals then I do (maybe that has changed since he’s obtained some of the best equipment available). I strive for the highest fidelity, which makes bad recordings sound terrible. But - it also makes great recording unmatched in the listening experience. In the past, Jay referenced sweetness as a desirable trait, and 2 - because when dealers hand out equipment to clients to try, they usually have no control over the system it’s installed in and how it’s evaluated. In only a few instances I’ve found a system that had very high quality equipment and was optimally set up with proper room acoustics and well recorded music was played to clearly evaluate and demonstrate differences between components. Also, only changing a single component at a time is necessary to determine differences. There’s other things I’m leaving out here (to be brief) but I hope everyone is getting what I’m trying to communicate.
Even in a 1% system like Jay’s, and with the upmost respect, humility and admiration for both Jay, his equipment and his system - I wouldn’t just hand over something and say have at it. Experience has burned me 98% of the time I’ve done this in the past. Literally (unfortunately).
And Jay, please don’t take this in any way as negative - you really are a top 1 percent audiophile, I know myself and most of us (with a few exceptions) can only dream about the equipment you rotate!
We all appreciate what you do and I’ve supported you many times in the past and will continue to do so. Your forum is EXCELLENT and thank you for all your contributions :-)
Just my "little fish in a very big pond / ocean" input :-)
