The best and worst Audiogon poster's

Thank you for the kind words, Gthirteen. I don't have any one favorite, but a list of people who regularly contribute insightful(not inciteful comments). You would be included on the list. Others(off the top of my head - in NO order): Tubegroover, AlbertPorter, Carl_eber, Tm12, Garfish, David99, Brianmcgargon, Sedond, Sdcampbell, Avguygeorge, etc. Apologies to the long list my feeble memory cannot recall at this moment.

Is this the Jerry Springer show on "I hate you cuz your an audiophile pimp"? Gooooooood Loooooooooooord! Go Audiogon, Go Audiogon, Go Audiogon, Go Audiogon, wowowo! ugh, Lets try to keep it to music, and can't we all just Get along?

Tm12, as I've said, I was simply attacking you in the way you attacked me and my postings, to show how rediculous you are being (I could tell that "killing you with kindness" would likely not work). Was it not pleasant for you? You shouldn't have taken it THAT seriously, I've never met you or your family, so why would you think any comments I made about them would have any REAL meaning? (I knew that they wouldn NOT for me, afterall.) Stop your seathing already. You need to calm down, before you have a heart attack (really). And stop thinking that you are the only one holding the "undeniable truth of music" all the time, I can't stand that. Based on my experience with them, you're dead wrong about MIT, and you have zero right "on this earth" to be upset about the many fine people who enjoy their cables. Absolutely zero right! Who in hell are you to tell me that they're no good at all, when I, and many others, know the opposite is very true. If you've had bad experience with them, that does NOT give you the right to proclaim them a horrible company, and to "feel sorry for the fools that buy them", as you've vomitted forth. I too have tried the same interconnect that you didn't like, and I didn't like that one particulary either. But the model one up from it is very nice indeed, along with several down from it. I didn't just hear that one only, and decide that the "company sucks", like you've done.....................When you apologize about MIT, I'll apologize to you. All you've done here lately is snipe about products you personally don't like, and this only ruins any meaningful discourse that can be had on those subjects. It is you who should take a break from this forum for a while, not me...It certainly is not positive for the forum for us to continue in this way (duh), so this is my ONLY reply to you. I think you'd be better off if you didn't take such a personal interest in badmouthing a particular product line. I tried that once a few months ago (also a cable product), it had no effect, so I moved on to sharing about what I've had positive experiences with (mostly), and that has had a net positive effect..................Things can get ugly with me on here sometimes, and like I said, I do take partial responsibility for them. It takes two hotheads to really "go off", though, and there has been zero contrition on your part...rather, quite the opposite. You should take a pill, or something, and try to be happy at least while you are listening........Carl

Gthirteen, I don't have a mic pre with phantom power yet, so I can't use any of the good mics (dang it!). I'm not a big shot like you, I only do portable battery powered stuff, with unbalanced connections. I use an AT822, so have a good chuckle on me, heh heh. When Tascam, or whoever, makes a portable DAT that can record 20 bits at 48kHz or higher in that format, that's when I'll buy one (since theirs does have phantom power). Or perhaps, they'll just make a video 8 format portable, that does one of the new digital standards...I dunno, be a while at this rate, though.

Carl,I will never be a fan of MIT.I feel there is no value $ for $ with their cable.Its not bad sounding just not worth the kind of money they want.I feel strongly about the fact that pure science does not justify the $ they or some of the others want for cable.I will though continue to post and advise people that there are some alternates at modest price points which are as good as some of the mega buck stuff.The most important factor in todays bussiness climate is Marketing.Not allways does the supperior product win.The ones who do a better job marketing can take more market share or create a oerception thier product has more value.All the power to the.Carl go to www.highend-audio.com and go to the Audio critique section.Read about cables and other things there.I think this will give you a good idea on what really going on.Its only an opinon but one i share srongly.One thing is you cant be all bad since you own a Rogue 88.I sold mine and went to the M 120.
