Who is the most arrogant member here?

[Sir Terrence the Terrible]

This is damn depressing. A 22 y/o beats me out for most arrogant. I just knew I would be in this one, I just knew it!! I guess I am going to have to be more terrible than Florian. At home at 22 y/o?? I was already paying a mortgage by then. You are more lucky than you know, or unlucky I don't know which....

My 17 year old nephew would beat you all out. If you look up arrogant in the dictionary you will see his picture with his middle finger up and a caption of, "Who the f.k are you looking at A. H.!

What an amazing, and hilarious thread! I haven't spent enough time around here yet to come to a definite conclusion, but based on what I've read here, I'd certainly cast my vote also for florian. "Pompous" doesn't even scratch the surface...

Now, if this question were posted over at AK, the overwhelming choice would have been, ME. I guess that's why they kicked me off. Some of us (me) just never learn, do we?

Well in germany, its not uncommon to be at home with 22 considering we have 54% income tac, insane renting, food, electricity and gas prices which are now even higher thanks to the all and mighty country in the world, which gets my vote for most arrogant. LOL .....anywho...my real friends know i am not arrogant. I love forums tough, you usually get a group of lamers with envy eyes and they gang up. Funny tough!--

Keep em going

We are just sooo misunderstood.

LOL its not our fault you guys are socialist. And that's coming from someone who's family lives in germany.

Imagine how dull the audioreview would be without all the differences in life styles, equipment choices and levels of emotional stability.

Excuses, excuses, excuses. Talk to us when actually have a life. (Living vicariously through your audio system does not count.) Nothing unusual about college grads moving back in with the parents, but most of us who did also SAVED our money so that we could MOVE OUT as soon as possible! It's so comical reading your claims about hard you have to work and how you don't have much money, yet here you are constantly dumping every last euro into your audio system.

Fact of the matter is that if you actually had to foot the bill for your own living expenses, you sure as hell wouldn't be on this forum bragging about how much you spend on your audio system (yet crying poverty all the time) and how price is no object (yet claiming that you're not rich and have to work oh so hard for everything) and how we're all jealous (yet no one gives a rat's ass about your system as much as you like to shove it in everyone's face on post after post), blah blah blah. No shame in living at home, but it's pretty disingenuous for you to bash people for living on a budget and balancing their financial priorities when you've never had to.

Interesting that you would keep commenting about how people gang up on you. No one's ganging up on you. YOU bring everything upon yourself with your constant rants, personal attacks, lies, schoolboy attitude (and oldman's cynicism), and crybaby whining. If you don't understand that by now, then you got nobody to blame but yourself. The reaction that your posts attract is not only expected, but you seem to want any kind of attention, regardless of whether it's negative. Then again, the immaturity espoused in your posts is more indicative of a constant need to be the center of attention.

But, PLEASE don't go away! With Lexmark3200 now banned from the site, the perspective of life from the parents' basement is sadly lacking on this board. And the comic relief that your all too predictable pimping for attention brings to the board just makes our day!

What an amazing, and hilarious thread!

...funny and pompous...click on his name and take a gander at his profile , then click for the "view all posts by..." as you said, this thread doesn't even scratch the surface...

He seems to think we all fall asleep wishing we had his rig...He's havin' his mid-life crisis and he isn't even halfway there...

Hey Bratwurst-boy...a little hint, nobody cares, not now, not ever...

jimHJJ(..what a tool!...)

He seems to think we all fall asleep wishing we had his rig...

um, we don't?

[Sir Terrence the Terrible]

um, we don't?

Nope, I like my system better than his...so there!!!

[GMichael]

I like mine better than his too. But that's because mine in here in NY instead of way the heck over in Germany where I can't hear the stupid thing.

[Resident Loser]

um, we don't?

...my core components have served me well since '75...over the years things have been added i.e. equalizers, tape machines, a more powerful amp (my last major purchase sometime in the early '80s)...More recently an Onkyo CD changer and a Marantz cassette deck...I am quite satisfied with it's sound, which I consider revealing, clean and well balanced across the frequency spectrum.... All connected with generic OEM ICs, Discwasher Gold-ens, TEAC Lo-caps and plain ol' 10ga. PA wiring (50ft/ch)...and yes, I have heard other, pricier systems...not impressed.

IMHO, there is no reason hi-fi must equal hi-priced, nor that an entire wing of my house (the operative word being my) be dedicated to it, in order to have exemplary audio enjoyment.

There is no search for the Grail, there is simply years of pleasure...

jimHJJ(...it works and I covet for naught...)

[noddin0ff]

Well, in fairness I dream of your systems too. Freud doesn't have anything to say about this does he?

I agree with you on that "there is no reason hi-fi must equal hi-priced". For me, I work really hard, and when I hear something I think can improve my enjoyment and I can afford it after all the other expenses have been taken care off-I buy it. I make no apologies for it. I do think that pride of ownership also comes into it.
For instance I am not into cars at all. I drive a 12 year old 4WD and it does the job. I know that a Range Rover will provide more of everything and will give me pride of ownership. But I don't seek it for 4 wheels.

Peace
