BEST AUDIOGON POSTS

Nothing makes me happier than reading a post where old time Audiogoners speak the TRUTH, uncorrupted by commercial affiliations or agendas.

Both the old timers, and those threads, are sadly less prevalent.

But you're still here, so that has retained some of the atmosphere.

Thanks for all your contributions!

In my view, you are one of the best contributors to this forum, but please please please try not to never use Steve McQueen and Ralph Lipschitz in the same sentence.

There is a world of difference between people who buy cars and people who drive them.

Attempting to imagine Mr "Lauren" jumping a motorbike over a fence will further illustrate my point.

I have no problem with rich people collecting cars, provided their interest is sincere.

I have the sense that Jay Leno genuinely loves cars, drives his motorbikes and probably even works on them.

But its the type of person who asks if they can have an automatic transmission for exotic supercar, not because the F-1 technology has gotten any better, but because they only driving they plan to do is lugging it around town to show it off to their neighbors.

It would be as if collecting audio gear was a status symbol, and then someone filled a warehouse with perfect, like new examples of Goldmund reference turntables, giant tube monoblocks, Infinity IRS V, maybe the Wilson WAMMS, Krell class A monoblocks, the Jadis CD player etc etc, but then gave you a blank stare when you asked them what kind of music they liked.

Apology accepted and thanks. But really there is no need to apologize, because you will be haunted by the image of Mr Lauren which should be punishment enough.
