Hope I didnt confuse you with too many big words, like "electronics" and "like".:1:
yeah, but pixie, you have to admit that you make big mistakes too. Seriously, you don't know everything there is to know about audio, and you seem to ignorant to accept someone else correcting your faults.
Keep them spinning,

Check out some sometimes.
They werent better technologically but they were sure built better
Ok, I get what you're saying now.... That I can agree with... Apart from Brands like Bryston (20 year warranty - amazing), too many companies just don't make products designed to last anymore.... The products perform better, but aren't really intended to be handed down to the next generation....
I respect vintage... wouldn't buy one though, but I appreciate what's gone before...

Same holds true for homebuilding. It just amazes me sometimes what the "reputable" builders are allowed to get away with anymore.
Oh wait... Code enforcers... :rolleyes:

As I look around my room, I think Pixelthis might be right.
I see Newform Tweeters made in Canada, Seas Woofers made in Norway, System Audios made in Denmark, Yamaha, Panasonic, & Samsung made in Japan, Behringer made in Germany, and B&W made in England. Oh, and my upgrade parts for my Behringer came from France.
Of course I have token American products, Magnepan from Minnisota and HSU from California.
Before my present system, I had Quad, Levinson, Rotel, and Marantz. (England, U.S., and Japan respectively)
Let's see, back in the 70's (my god! I am old) My Phase Linear Speakers were made in America, my JVC receiver was made in Japan, my Accutrac turntable was made in England, and my Zenith TV was made in the U.S.. By the way, I also had a Sansui reverb unit...STOP LAUGHING!
And before that, I had Sansui, Sony, and Akai which were all made in Japan.
There was a time I had a system that had Kenwood speakers and only God knows where the rest of it came from.
Lastly there is my computer which came from egghead, where ever that is...
What was the question again?
To be fair, I realize that none of this is considered vintage equipment and my exposure to vintage equipment is rather sparse, but to imply that audio has not progressed in all these years is a stretch.
For me, this is the golden age...
Pixie often says things that are true. It's just that they are often half truths that don't always have much to do with the subject.
He sure is fun to have around though.

You can believe in anything you want. The question is whether you fully understand what you believe in and in your case, remember correctly. I know this is sounds completely insane but, it is possible that you are "incorrect" about some things. Even if you think or "know" you are right.

As opposed to your comments that don't ever have anything to do with the subject:1:

At least I don't claim to be an expert on anything and then support my claim with irrelevant facts or misinformation. Oh, and then argue with people who actually are experts in that field. I love it when you do that. Breaks me up to no end.
I just joke around to lighten people's day. If you don't like my jokes, I could leave you alone. Doesn't hurt my feelings at all.
sniff sniff.....
