VTL 5.5 vs. Lamm LL2?

Kensetsu,
I would like to leave you alone, but you've opened up a can of worms here with some serious accusations. You are telling me that all those who own Audio Horizon preamps and who post on that particular thread are "con artists". Now you're also saying that in the "preamp of the century" thread, those same owners of the Supratek preamps are also "con artists". I am sorry that you are so delusional. You did start this thread, but your negative comments up front about other preamps and those people who own them needed addressing. You really need to try to learn to take some of the medicine that you dish out. Also, I highly recommend that you do some research and find some real facts before you open your pie-hole making false statements and accusations. By the way, your sorry-ass excuse for being a sceptic because you are from New York only gives the good folks from New York a bad name. Shame on you, Bud.

Kensetsu is a perfect example of the Imposter Syndrome where inside every self assurred professional lives a frightened little neurotic who prays that he can somehow succeed before everyone discovers the fraud.

Sherod, It is what it is. If you don't like it then go. I stated the facts as I see them. Why the hell is it that you are in almost every thread that mentions this preamp. When the hell do you listen to music. Why is your life dedicated and devoted to a product that someone else made. You and your entire group should go start a cult. Oh! I forgot.. You already have. Leave me alone. Don't you get it. This can only hurt the manufacturer that you support. DO YOU REALLY WANT TO DRAW MORE NEGATIVE ATTENTION TO THIS NO NAME BRAND! Let it go.. As far as an accusation goes, I stated the way that it appeared. Get a life outside of helping to market that preamp. I can't imagine why anyone would expend so much effort to support a product so strongly if they didn't have an active financial interest in it. If you don't like that fact that I can state my own opinion or have a right to reject your piece of junk recommendation, then get lost. That includes you and all of the other little sissy girls who are going to join you in supporting this product, WHO are also extremely active in a thread about a damn preamp. Jeez. Go away.. GOT IT! It's my money and I'll spend it as I see fit. I'm not coming over to bother you on your thread. DON'T BOTHER ME. Let this be your official notice to cease with your harassins behavior. Further attempts to bother me will be reported to Audiogon.

Mark... Oh My God. Your response is laughable. I really needed the comic relief. Think about it "little boy". You called me a name and accused me of having a Syndrome, because I didn't agree with you. LOL!!! What's the other name for a baby cat? LOL!!!

You remind me of a little kid, who puts his underwear on over his pajamas, ties a towel around his neck, puts his mother's bra on his head and pretends to fly around the room.

Mark.. that's "make believe" and so is your attempt to demonstrate your knowledge of psychology, mental illness and the engineering of thought process, including but not limited to fear, insecurity, motives, etc.

Pal.... LOL! You have no idea just far in over your head you are. You, my man, are attempting to punch WAY OUT OF YOUR WEIGHT CLASS here in this subject area. I've eaten my fare share of PhD psychologist for breakfast. Especially the one's who lack the ability to think on their feet, apply what they think they've learned out of books that were written by people "like you", who's self esteem and need to be accepted are so great, that in a pitiful and desperate effort to get attention, create phrases like "imposter syndrome" to serve as a cry for help. An SOS if you will. It's like shouting. PLEASE.. SOMEONE HELP ME. NO ONE AGREES WITH ME.. I'M GONNA CRY.

Do we really need to address your statement and how it, IN FACT, is a reflection of your own insecurity and how it ties into a lack of self esteem and a tragic need for EXTERNAL validation to support you self worth. Actually, Mark... you're the one that's demonstrating easily labeled abnormal "psycho-social" behavior. Perhaps you and your group should go start your own society, built around your preamp. OK.. Mark you win... the world is flat... or round... I can effectively argue either point. Still, your efforts to undermine my opinions by trying to classify me as "being poorly integrated into society" are amateur and laughable.

So are your upcoming responses/counter accusations which will have absolutely nothing to do with the issue at hand. In Layman's terms.. I'm referring to the "smoke screen" that you'll be using to hide your own failed efforts.

From this statement, It's obvious that your entire existence and ability to look at yourself in the mirror comes your need for others to agree with you. If you actually did have both self confidence and the strength of your convictions you wouldn't have to call people names when they don't agree with you.

Well well the poisonous toad finally crawls out from beneath the rock.
