Briggs on Briggs /Briggs does Briggs

Hello:

As a point of introduction, I am one of the top three or four audiophiles in the US.

J. Davenport Briggs, IV
The Briggs Compound
Caribou, Maine

Hi Mr. Briggs. Welcome to AR.com.
I'm kexodusc.
I'm one of the top 17,947 audiophiles in North America, formerly of Bangor, currently of N.B. Canada.

Thanks. I've been on here before but business concerns w/Jadis et al. kept me busy. Originally from Newport Rhode Island.

A superlative lifestyle can be had outside of Bangor.

J.D. Briggs, IV
Northern, ME

How do you rank audiophiles? Is there a Register? I'd think with such a small group one would know for sure whether there were three or four.

Ah well, welcome!

Jameson Davenport Briggs is one of the foremost audiophiles in the world. He is retained, on the buy side, by UHE (Ultra High End) usually IO (Invitation Only) resellers and private audio boutiques. His recommendation, or lack thereof, can make or break an audio manufacturer. He has been featured on numerous audio bulletin boards and has lectured on audio topics at several prestigious Ivy League Universities. At the request of thousands of audiophiles, Davenport is initiating a program whereby he will advise high net worth individuals on component selection, aging and burning in of cables, and other relevant topics. More details on this will be made available in the near future.

Born to a “double Mayflower” family in Newport Rhode Island, Davenport’s family had been very prominent in manufacturing for over 150 years. The captain of his lacrosse team at Choate-Rosemary Hall, Davenport Entered Yale, Yale Law, and finally Yale’s Graduate School of Management and then proceeded to go to Wall Street to work as a top-tier investment banker to some of America’s most prominent corporations.

In 1989 he “retired” and built a giant testing laboratory and living compound, The Briggs Compound, outside Caribou Maine. The compound contains three guest houses, a main chateau of some 22,000 square feet, an on site audio testing laboratory and a helopad. At any given time high end manufacturers are on site to have their products reviewed, tested and to get comments from Davenport Briggs. Davenport only believes in rigorous testing of all aspects of a product prior to rendering a comment or decision.

Gee! It only took three posts for you to create that story.:sleep:

Hello,

I just enjoy music a lot. How are you?

...don't encourage this fool...thought he was gone for good...anyone else remember his last few, decidedly non-audio related posts?

Which generation is this one the first, Vl, Vll...can't even get his Roman numerals straight...there are at least three other variants of the moniker on file...pity his posts were purged as a result of the site's format changes...used to be simply the compound in Northern Maine...He liked my use of the word Caribou so much, he decided to take up residence...#1 audiophool is about right...

jimHJJ(...the less said to and about he, she or it, the better...)

...it's an old story so I'd watch where you step...

jimHJJ(...he goes back a looong way, pity he's returned...)

P.S. If you do a search of the Mayflower's passenger list and crew members (as was done during an earlier appearance), there wasn't a Briggs among 'em...if yer gonna' create a persona, at least make it plausible...

Oh come on. He seems perfectly normal to me. And you know how us NY guys will believe anything.

No you're not I am. "I am iron man!":cornut:

Ah, one of the old timers trying his tired schtick with a (mostly) new audience and (sorta) new screen name.

Doubt that he's one of the top three audiophiles in the world, when he isn't even one of the top three trolls on this board. Gotta do better than that! :skep:

Ha ha Briggs, you ass clown...looks like the vets busted you! Seriously though, what's your opinion on Apogee speakers?

My opinion is that Apogee loudspeakers are absolutely superb. I myself own the Grand Integras.

The three top audiophiles are: my grundle, my taint, and my gooch.

Mr. Briggs, why does an extensively educated person like your self use the third person?

i think he's talking about his dad or something of that sort, even though its a total FaKe

..that now that two of us are accounted for, who is/are the remaining one or two? Say hello to the rest of the people in your compost.

Born to a “double Mayflower” family in Newport Rhode Island,



Pity, my people waited until there were better amenities on the ships and this country was not such a damned wilderness. Thanks for all the labor getting things ready for us.

Good that you guys are giving Briggs plenty of attention, he obviously needs it.

No such thing as Apogee Grand Integra's. If you're going to make up speakers at least spell the name right.:ihih:

I remember this idiot from a few years back Funny thing is, if you Google his name, the only place it shows up is here at AR.

Strange that such a wealthy and "Well Known" individual is hanging out here. Maybe Mytr will show up next.

I know it's been slow here, but which one of you jokers dug up this relic?!? If you're going to revive a troll, at least make it someone interesting like TLADINY/Lexie

Oh...wait...

Didn't we determine TLADINY is JDB?! :yikes:

I'm an Apogee fan myself! I started with the Grand Vitara's, later upgraded to the Gold Accords and now found a nice pair of Platinum Coupe de Villes that get reasonable current to the gallon. I power them with a nice vintage John Deere PowerTrack mk IV and I've received lots of nice comments from people such as yourself.

No chit. I thought we were rid of this guy. Haven't seen him in years and haven't missed em either. One of the MOST uninspired trolls I've ever run across. Don't waste your electrons on this *******.

You're just not quite up to the UHE (Ultra High End) yet. But don't despair! I'm sure you upgraded from the Grand Marquis and you're only a half step away from the Grand Cherokees. From there it's UHE all the way, baby!

I'm always told that audio and car analogies don't hold, but the Grand Integra was tooooo much to resist! :)

Have you guys heard the Crown Victorias, or as they say in the bizz...the Crown Vic?

I haven't moved up the Grand ladder. I did own the Grand Ams once, but they gave me that "left on the side of the road" feeling.

That's a bad feeling. The top of the line Grand Poobah comes with a free (s******...yeah, right - NOT built into the price...right!) membership to AAA (Automobile Audiophiles Asylum) so you'd never be left on the side of the sonic blacktop.

There's always the mid-fi Grand Wazoo also. Not much at soundstaging but a HUGE back end, hence the name. I think Frank Zappa owned those speakers....

Oh yeah, that's right. Forgive me. I'm still workin' on my audiophile merit badge.

Looks like Braggs, I mean, Briggs has left this thread....

Hell, I thought he was you using a ghost-moniker :ihih:

C'mon guys this is all in good fun - RGA actually is quite amused by his posts. He gives the whole stupid hobby (and it really is if you think about it) a good kick in the arse. RGA thinks people are too touchy and should have some more enjoyment in the hobby. RGA is actually quite surprised that Mr. Davenport Briggs has not been knighted as of yet. Damn paperwork I am sure with the socialist beaurocracy in England.:18:

Dear Mr. RGA:

Your system is quite good. I am a large fan of Audio Note and use the Gaku-On & Kondo myself.

Are Audio Note UK and Audio Note Japan (now marketed as Kondo) the same company? Were they at one time?

They both claim to be manufacturers...

Perhaps you can fill us in with the details...
