The best and worst Audiogon poster's


I have enjoyed these threads very much. I feel I have come to know some of Audiogon's members thru there postings. I have my favorite's like the knowledgable gentleman Albert Porter, In his ear's I trust Mikeam, Tubegroover, 3Dman and the controversial and sometime's entertaining Carl Eber. Who are your favorites and why.

Carl_eber should be takin out of his missery.Albertporter is one of the most knowledgeable posters.I would love to share a few beers with him someday.He has much to add and enjoy his insights greatly.
Carl,I will never be a fan of MIT.I feel there is no value $ for $ with their cable.Its not bad sounding just not worth the kind of money they want.I feel strongly about the fact that pure science does not justify the $ they or some of the others want for cable.I will though continue to post and advise people that there are some alternates at modest price points which are as good as some of the mega buck stuff.The most important factor in todays bussiness climate is Marketing.Not allways does the supperior product win.The ones who do a better job marketing can take more market share or create a oerception thier product has more value.All the power to the.Carl go to www.highend-audio.com and go to the Audio critique section.Read about cables and other things there.I think this will give you a good idea on what really going on.Its only an opinon but one i share srongly.One thing is you cant be all bad since you own a Rogue 88.I sold mine and went to the M 120.
Carl I guess we agree to disagree.IMHO MIT is not value for the money.In yours they are.You at sime time should contact an Engineering Prof at MIT the school and discuss cable Physics.You could learn something if you where open minded enough to accept someone else's view's.Go figure a piece of wire can cost 2/3 times more than an amp which is full of very complex parts.Go figure a Rogue 88 is worth 1500.How can a couple of meters of wire be worth more.Give it some thought there is no logical reason for this.There is no platinum,Rhodium in this wire is there so.Why is it worth so much.Just a thought.Anyone else have an opinion on this.
..edited...trelja,tubegroover i have been in your neck of the woods and agree with you.i live in Southern Ontario which is very much like the area you are from.people from these area's are more tolorant than people from the South.I spent a week In South Carolina and was appauled at the treat ment of non whites.It was like talking a step back to what things where like here in the late 1960's.A time warp.
I share your love of the Clash and they sound amazing on a good hi fi system.I have been playing my vinyl copy of Sandanista.Its a joy to be hold.
As the year winds down my vote for Audiogon Jerk of the year with lifetime membership in the dink of the day club goes to Carl Eber.
