    A lot of what you seem to KNOW is true is based on you reading one article years ago. I see you arguing with people I KNOW, know more about the subject because they WORK in that field every day. Why would anyone believe your knowing over theirs? Are you paying attention at all? Or maybe you were just joking again?

    you are not the one "paying attention".
    Our industry is being packed up and sent overseas, soon this country wont be anything but burger joints from coast to coast.
    And the stuff coming back isnt perfect copies of equipment from our golden age, most is just cheap copies.
    IF THE KNOW-NOTHINGS on this site are typical of people who "work" in the industry that would explain a LOT.
    Indeed, a lot on this site are young boys pretending to be grown ups, at least I hope so,
    because I have applied profiling tech to some of the personalities on this site, and if they arent kids then god help them, because they sure act like them

    Que? What? Huh?

    Golden Age?

    Ummm, don't you support computer audio?

    Aren't you anti-cassette and turntable?

    It just seems so weird to see someone embrace modern tech and yet bemoan the loss of the 'golden age' of amplifiers....

    I really doubt that all the amps being made today are inferior to stuff from 40/50 years ago.... that sounds more like nostalgia than reality.....

    Is that like a few weeks ago, when you "knew" that it took more wattage to drive a tweeter than a woofer, and, when proven wrong, bailed off the thread...without a word?

    Most of us, when proven wrong, will cop to it. Some of us have a real problem with admitting it.

    Many on this board are professionals who are acting childish to blow off a little steam. But at least we are just acting.

    I hope this profiling tech includes a little standing in front of the mirror and doing a little self examination. Those you accuse of being kids are often less guilty than their accuser.

    I have personally never seen a 51 y/o act like a 15 y/o like you do. I respect all of the elder gentlemen here. Most of them are our best contributers, and all of them are very cool. You on the other hand act so poorly, think you know everything and don't, and offend everyone that disagrees with you. You make us not like you.

    At first I agreed with this, but more and more as I read Melvin's posts I'm becoming convinced that his statements are intended to be contraversial....

    SVI is probably just what he appears to be (slow), but I think Melvin is 100% Troll (he may well be a former audiophile, radio host and whatever else he claims to be... but I think his intentions are solely to stir up trouble)....

    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...

    dIGITAL BASED audio is the future.

    And this is a lot of nostalgia, but a lot of the selling point of vintage gear was that it had class.
    Check out some sometimes.

    Thats high praise, that a know-nothing like you "doesnt" like me.
    I dont care about anyone disagreeing with my opinions, it does bother me a bit when they disagree with the laws of PHYSICS.

    "wattage" doesnt drive ANYTHING, its a measurment of work produced.
    And you don't even know THAT.

    And I said that the higher the frequencies the more power required, and havent been "proved" wrong yet.
    If you can prove me "wrong" ace, them go collect your Nobel prize, as you will have proved "wrong" just about every texbook on the subject.

    I oughta stick to something more on the level of understanding of most on this board.

    Yes I admit I am a little "close" minded.
    I beleive stuff like physics, rules of nature, basic electronics arent open to interpetation.
    How terribly 20th century of me!
    How WILL I get by in this relativistic touchy feely new century?
    Hope I didnt confuse you with too many big words, like "electronics" and "like".
