Anybody want a laugh?

@nonoise  I got you 100% and in fact appreciated the little stab! Good to know some people here have capacity left beyond preaching their own gospel... and very cool to hear you took German in school, kudos to you, I am aware it is a very tough language to learn.
@djones51  whatever

All the posturing could maybe have been avoided from the start by listening to what this guy had to say, who actually put in the time testing, listening and comparing - one of the few voices in audio who strives to be independent and objective, never shilling anything for anyone. His reviews are dry to a fault, so if you can't make it through the whole thing, just listen to his "bombshell" conclusion, which is note-worthy as he is not one prone to hyperbole: https://youtu.be/n95pGUQTvOk?t=578

@nonoise  hey hey, easy tiger, there is a German here after all...

After the death of Germany's most beloved (and VERY FUNNY) comedian Loriot 9 years ago, there was an entertaining article in UK's The Guardian about the difficulty trying to translate his humor. A good line from the article is: "Empirically speaking, English people are among the least qualified in the world to pass judgment on comedy in other languages."  ;-)   

Anyhow, zero offense taken, us Germans have (or should have) developed a rather thick skin about how we are being stereo-typed.
