Should there only be one company making gear?

Sure think Nrchy! Screw Free Trade!
Lets just roll out the Red Carpet and welcome the commies!

-laugh-

It would make things alot simpler, but god, this website would be boring as hell.

Imagine CES, it would be going on constantly throughout every brick and mortar in the world!!!!

Audio clubs would totally suck ass too. Everyone get together, job blow says "I just upgraded to the Generic CD1 player.
Everyone else would nod thier heads "Yup. got one of them too"
"i also have one"
"yes, we all have one"

"Hey did you hear the Generic FX3 speakers? oh wait, everyone already owns one!"

how lame would that be?

hahaha

I think this is a hell of a thread Nrchy.

It is too easy to let somone get you down on something. Alot of the time people seem o think they know what is right and wrong, and do not realize it is only thier opinion, not a fact.

I used to have a surrround set of Deftechs, the mains were 2004tls and the rears were bp6's

i came onto this board thinking i had a pretty decent system, and soon i was doubting my gear and thinking it wasnt nearly as good as i thought. Well, every time i listened to it i sure liked it. And now that i had to sell it all off to pay out a debt forced upon me by a bad roomate decision, i sure do miss em.

it is all about what YOU like, it is YOUR hobby, and what is good for me isnt always what is good for YOU.

There is alot of support in this hobby, but it is also full of elitism... "My gear is better than yours"

People always say stereo gear cannot be a status symbol, but here it sure seems to be sometimes.

I have learned alot about audio gear, i know most of the major manufacturers, i know how all of this stuff works, and ive heared alot of gear.
Ive gotten the impression occassionally that since i have radioshack speakers that some people think my opinion is pretty useless and i dont know what im talking about.

anyways, I getr alot of suggesstions about gear, but in the end, it is what will make ME happy?

Gotta buy it because you like it. Dont buy it because "it is supposed to be good" Buy it because you want it, and if other people get upset about that, well then they can sit there and rant while i enjoy my system. :)

Seandtaylor....
So...
Yer left speaker might be a vandersteen while yer right speaker might be a proac?

hahahaha

I think Nrchy put up a great post and i think alot of people should take the time to think about what he is saying.

KP

So yer saying all those tube guys who jumped me a while back in the forums cause i said i preffer solid state, are actually just afraid of it?

I will never understant the sheer anger some people exibit to people who do not agree with thier preferences
.

its just a hobby

and a rediculous one at that

Hey, if you guys wanna play with yer distorted-assed-tubes go right on ahead. No! Really! Im sure with a THD of 10% that yer getting the best experience possible! Gimme a break! Hell, Look at that WAVAC $350,000 piece of junk! Tubes are the BOSE of the OLD

HA HA HA HA

I dont need no stupid Magic Glowing Bubble sticking out of my rig to give me a good musical experience!

Come on you old farts! Time to put down the six pack of Ensure and take a listen to something called Technology. I know you all got a chance to see mozart in concert, but things have actually advanced since then.

"Oh no, my tube is going out!" Better get some vasoline, cause ill tell ya where to stick those glorified light bulbs. Maybe it will provide enough light for the proctologist to find that stick you all have been looking for over the past 6 centurys

Flea Bitten? The only Flea Bitten thing i see are yer dogs curled up in front of yer amplifiers thinking that its a fire.

Solid State! SOLID!

Ya rotten semineferous tubual buttnoids.

;)

Hey Marco!

NRCHY, Remember, it is not fair to bring the Sons of Silence! They gotta hang back! Hells Angels too!

David99, Same goes for you, you have to leave the contaminated hypodermics from junkies at the office, and no getting bent on PCP before the brawl!

Where the hell IS Gunbei? He wont wanna miss this! That slant-headed fool is totally MIA. He probably got stuck in a book or something.

Bring it on!!!!
It'l take a helluvalot more than your rag-tag group of candy assed schoolgirls to take down the slapman!!

Time to pull out da hammers, Judgement and Damnation, bringin a new definition to the phrase SOLID-STATE

One thing Slapp ain't afraid to do is jump in the fray! 100% Nordic blood here! Pumpin the blood of my viking ancestors!!!!

>:)
