The Ultimate Lurker’s Guide to Pinning Yourself to a Cross

i would had been silent but i answered bad faith or attack...

And yourself you dont answer to someone accusing you of "misinformation" ?

 

Thanks for staying polite and not labelling my post "misinformation"...If anybody attack me i will answer.... i am done for the day....

My best to you...

 

@richard51 is old school here, he was off on the anti vibration material tangent back in the day, hence the custom title, lol.

 

Would the mods consider doing a thread clean-up? There was threatening to be some good info for newbies here before things got sidetracked.

 

I can agree with that in general, but thinking about it now, maybe jumping straight into the deep end without first experiencing the budget recommendations like those suggested in this thread will minimize appreciation of what the chain-end transducers offer, as subtle or profound as it could be perceived to be. In other words, I'm in the "it's all about the journey" camp.

 

They nailed sir Richard to the cross for 7 days and 7 nights. And for what? What was his crime? Refusing to kneel. A true martyr for good sound...

 

This thread made me want a K340 just to see what it's about.

 

Clever, but still a cheap shot.

 

I'm not the one who banned him. I echo 80% of what he had to say, it was just how he said it. some took it too seriously and started to strawman his points, he got defensive, the rest is history

 

The issue wasn't his point (which has some validity), its that he made it over, and over, and over, and over again. A complete hi-jack of this thread. (and over again)

 

I never studied audio history. How long after that was the ordinary headband developed? All that stuff looks extremely uncomfortable. Still, I expect there is yester-century flagship or two among them.

I totally applauded his first post, but things somehow went very bad from there. I hope he'll be back.

The thread posited advising a beginner. I assume that to mean someone who is interested in listening to something better than the common-kiddy stuff. That system may be end-game for them. There is no assumption that they are setting foot on a future game of tweaks and upgrades. Or even taking up a hobby.

I don't think of audio as a hobby. Eben though I bought the magazines, pre-internet, and then joined the forums, went to listening sessions, etc etc, and probably had some theoretical idea of what I'd buy given less limited finance. Of course, over the years I made changes, some of which were improvements. Very occasional changes: I lived with most of my gear for years.

Mind you, from the beginning, I would have been very happy to have people other than the guys in the shop (who did a good job) to answer the question: "I have this much to spend, what should I buy?"

And if I was a beginner, lurking today, I'd be happy to find this thread. Until it got pseudo-intelectual-religious.

 

Forgive them, for they know not what they do!

 

If crosses are vintage, what's the modern equivalent?
