Us: hobbyists vs perfectionists vs aural epicureans vs rampant consumers vs bad Buddhists?

@jetter

In all my years here I don’t remember anyone else requesting that another member be "banned

".

I have called out at least one poster who called for Mc’s removal. And I have seen others
Fwiw I don’t like anyone removed because of someone’s disagreement with their idea

I'm in the Epicurean camp. It has to be rare - and used - before I will buy it! Two recent arrivals: Sony 7000ES DVD player (formerly TOTL)  and the Koss ESP-6 electrostatic headphones (with case and adapter). Both uncommon! Several years ago I bought a rare Futterman Harvard Music H3 OTL amp - and paid a pretty penny for it! Just go and try to find one of these! This one came from the original owner who had Julius Futterman install a pair of Altec autoformers  on it so it could drive low impedance speakers safely.

Anybody with enough means can pull out a credit card and buy whatever new unit touted by the "golden ears" crowd. What fun is that! 

Hmm well  I just like music so who knows?

My musical system is a vehicle used to transport my lover. I enjoy her presence whether she rides in on a bicycle or a Bentley. I like it immensely when she comes in the Bentley or Maserati or Ferrari because I get to take a fabulous road trip with her. But if she comes on the bike, that’s alright with me because its her presence that counts the most.

Fat bottom girls they make the rockin' world go round.
