Thanks to Paul McGowan

About a year ago I bought a PS Audio BHK pre-amp  & was very pleased with the improvement in sound quality over the Rotel I had been using. I put in a pair of 60s era Telefunken tubes & thought it sounded great so I went shopping. Recently  I found a pair of PS Audio M1200 mono blocks & thought what the heck. I got them home & installed NOS 1958 Telefunken.tubes.
I should mention the amp I had in the system was a highly modified Carver TFM 45 I bought in the 80s.
What a difference! Have you ever had that OMG moment when you get to hear your music for the first time. I should have ditched the Carver yrs ago.
My hat's off to Paul McGowan!

I have a hard time believing he has racist tendencies.

Unfortunately these guys are getting old, and they will eventually disappear, leaving the world with inferior alternatives.

Do we know that the next generation is so inferior?

My guess is that Paul himself would point at great engineers like Darren Myers (who has shared his knowledge on many podcasts) and say, "No reason to insult the young so quickly."

You're joking, right?

Maybe 5 yrs ago I have a bad experience with Paul it happens at Axpona.His set is located on the open space , I accidentally cross the path 5ft in front of the speakers? Man Paul gave me a look that is enough for me to think ? He is a racist . Iam a educated Filipino migrated from the Philippines 44 yrs ago. Now you are telling me good things about Him? Maybe He is? 

Maybe Paul gave you a look because of your actions and not your ethnicity.

Advice I received long ago that often serves me well is;

Don't Assume Bad Intent

From that perspective, you might consider whether anybody who walked in front of the speakers could have received the same look.  Maybe he was trying to close a deal with a buyer, or with a new distributor, or maybe he was just having a bad day, or maybe he had gas, or maybe he was being a jerk - but to everyone and not just to you.  His bad reaction, if noticed by others, reflects worse on him than on you.  This is certainly not worth sharing and casting aspersions on this forum based on nothing more than your perception of a look.
