Lately, it seems George has been on a new ranmpage, apparently fueled
by his being made to look like a bigger idiot than usual, when Arny
showed up, and showed up John Atkinson at the Great Debate.

For some reason George has it in his mind that the people he calls
Borgs, which I understand to mean anybody who actually understands any
kind of reak detail about how audio equipment works, are cheap and have
no sense of humor or love for the hobby of audio.

This is obviously nonsense, since many of the people he blasts own
systems far better than average and because they know where to and how
to send their money they do it with less out of pocket expense, than
the less informed.

Still, he rants and raves his gibberish about how the Borgs are cheap
and that they don't want anybody else to enjoy hi-fi as a hobby.

What he doesn't seem to get, is that the Borgs don't care if people
spend more money than necessary, as longas they know there is no need.
Nobody cares if some schmuck wants to own a $10K turntable/phono
cartridge combo to play their LP's on, as long as they have access to
the information about how technically inferior LP playback is to CD's.
Since there are still people out there who own a fair amount of LP's,
(I have about 500 LP's of my own)there's no reason why they shouldn't
have a way to enjoy them.

If you "normals" want to spen the same amount of money on a CD playback
setup, then go ahead, it's your money. Just don't make thge ridiculous
claim that there is anything superior about the actual sound of a
$10,000.00 CD player vs. a $200.00 one, unless of course you have
proof.

Likewise if you want to own an amplifier or monoblocks that cost 10
times what some other amps that sound exactly the same sell for, then
go ahead. It's just that the Borgs figure people have a right to know
that that stuff is not necessary to get great sound.
What makes the sound better is speakers and their interface with the
listening room. Once THOSE things are optimized, then more money is
not needed.

Why the passing of this information to the public at large, bothers
guys like George, is a mystery, unless he has a company that makes some
of this overpriced audio jewelry, why should he care? Why does knowing
how to properly compare audio equipment make him so crazy? Is his life
so empty that if he has to convince people that expensive audio
equipment makes you smarter or better? What a loser.

Middiot is Atkinson's mongrel. If He says that oxygen-free unidirectional

Sorry for pulling the first punch today, George. It's a slow day on RAO.

Hmmm. Brit football (lack of 'soccer' noted) is a vague term, Maggie, since
all the constituents nations of Britain - England, Scotland, Wales and
Northern Ireland - all play under the flags of their own nations. There is
nothing know as a British national team in any event outside of the Summer
Olympics.

So, in short, I am not quite sure whom you 'partied' with. Please do
elaborate.

Well, it was Sami Hyypiä (spelling?) and he was the captain a couple of
years ago. It was the opening of a sports facility in his hometown that
bears his name -for a good reason -and some other stuff as well.

Yes, you are indeed correct. Hyypia was the captain before Gerrard. He's
from Finland, IIRC.

Hmm...I wonder what happened. I heard Sami didn't see eye-2-eye with the new
regime or something like that. He's still a defender with them, right? A
really good guy and I wish him all the best.

In a way I wish the sport was more relevant in the US. :-( especially since

Our wheels come with a lifetime warranty on labor-ask for details.

Labor charges are $18 for front wheels and $25 for rear wheels.
Unusual components or lacing patterns may incur an extra charge.

I don't push a viewpoint. I try to find out what the facts are and
stick with that.

"The viewpoint itself is completely valid to hold and expound."

Viewpoints are for people who don't know what the facts are, it's
another way of saying OPINION. Everybody is entitled to an opinion,
but they become foolish in the extreme, when they stick to a viewpoint
that is counter to the facts. Like your viewpoint that QSC amps are
dull and uninteresting. If being accurate and undistorted is
uninteresting then I guess that's been the standard that good designers
have been trying for.

I see. The same old Arny coping mechanism at work: "I'm really not an idiot
because all the people who have said that I'm an idiot don't really exist

I'm also guessing that the screams you heard were real and the id of the
