CD vs. SACD vs. DVD-Audio vs Vinyl vs...

I just caught up with the Carl-bashing - sorry I missed the fun. I don't want to be like Carl, but it does not stop me beginning to like the guy. I certainly enjoy Carl's posts and usually look for them and enjoy them. He does resort to rudeness when confronted by someone with an opposite opinion to his own - which does not aid the discussion much - but that's just Carl. Carl is obviously both very experienced and very passionate about this stuff, and adds a very entertaining and interesting dimension to this site. No censorship please!

Indeed, Audiogon has asked me to censor myself, and I will certainly oblige. I apologize for responding too much to posts in this forum. I guess I've not gotten old enough to just lay down and take a whoopin every now and then. TO ALL THAT COMPLAINED, sorry you couldn't take the heat, and stayed in the kitchen. This has reinforced what I already knew: that when you really do want to voice your opinion, "the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few"...at least on a private website...

Carl, many of us in the kitchen know and follow kitchen safety insights (unspoken, or unwritten rules). It just a requirement as a group to produce and enjoy great food together. Saying we can't stand the heat in the kitchen shows that you don't understand the points people are writing to you. Once you start having people over in your kitchen or join others in their kitchen you then have a wonderful opportunity to share information and to enjoy kudos from others. That basic choice is yours, but this site is a shared kitchen. Everyone respects your right to your audio opinions and encourages you to share those. I find your opinions quite interesting and just take as your opinions. Strong personalization, attacking people, in discussions moves the discussion a way from the original discussion point and makes information sharing less than enjoyable. Please, I know you will, continue sharing your audio/music opinions and keep the personal defensive stuff to a minimum. This is a fun kitchen, and you add to it. Cheers, Gerrym5

Gerry, you say I don't know the rules. I apologize for not knowing them. Seems like there's only one that applies here: We go tell the teacher when we get upset with another kid's opinion, instead of sticking up for ourselves like adults. I'm tired of apologizing, so I won't post in the forum for a while. Rejoice!

Hi Audiogang; Early in my professional career, a friend and mentor advised me (relative to my job); "be courteous, be professional, and be true to your convictions". That advice has served me well in private life as well, and seems germane to some of the discussion that has been going on relative to this topic-- definitely spirited. Please note that it's not my intent to lecture, and I've enjoyed the postings. Thanks.
