Those who seek to deny access to information

My thread about the prototype discs was taken down. I tried to renew it or get an explanation but received nothing. Way too much control of speech. I will be looking for other sites to visit.

when I proposed that debate be use as a mode of expression rather than censorship, citing a previous instance where the thread had been taken down, guess who made negative noise?

clue: it wasn‘t the measurement crew - funny isn‘t it seeing the outcome ? - pity you can‘t go see for yourself..

When informative threads get deleted then that denies me information…….A'gon can do whatever they want but those deleted threads are a pet peeve of mine.

there was a totally uncontroversial and informative thread on a Supratek preamp that got taken down for no apparent reason, to the extent that it raises suspicions as to whether a competitor is able to have threads removed to gain commercial advantage.

considering all the personal agendas and subterfuge at play, for ozzy to call plain foul over the thread‘s demise borders on the farcical.

best to just walk away..

he was considering taking his own post down

I remember one post in which he was quite adamant about it and gave his precise reasons for doing so

at that point he really wanted that thread gone..

You really are a pesk.

yeah, for calling for no censorship, stating I had successfully used devices that worked on the same principles as those you were reviewing and actually saying Amen after a statement.of subjectivist core beliefs - the truth hurts sometimes Ozzy 

a very fine enunciation, however, this isn‘t a pissing contest, as it would appear some would like to turn it into.

I always make sure I‘m packing my phone when I visit a dealer showroom

the download‘s the fun part..

 

Hey pesky_wabbit,

I see the Robertson 4010 amp sold for about $200 and the Marantz cd5000 for about $160. Isn’t that what you have? Nothing wrong with getting a deal.

I see the Roberson 4010 at one time was rated class C in Stereophile.

What do you think of it?

ozzy

so it looks like you have been desperately raking thru all my posts trying to find some muck you can throw to discredit me. Why does that not surprise me?

Well yes Ozzie my Robertson does sound pretty fine within its own power envelope next to my AR REF150SE and Ayre V-5xe. Admiitedly it does have a few audiophile doodads in it thanks to partsconnexion, but I’m a solder slinger from wayback and I just couldn’t resist the temptation. My Leben CS600 and AR Vsi60 make nice mid power tube options, while the Classe CAP 2100 isn’t bad for a higher powered integrated. As for my Naim/Exposure collection from my Brit period, it is far too extensive to list here. Then there is the stuff I built.

The Marantz CD5000, as Lucas Lampizator rightly points out is probably the CD player bargain of the century as I was trying to bring to the attention of cash strapped audiophiles on this forum - especially when you take the output straght from the DA chip and bypass all the nasty output circuitry. And yes, it does sound mighty fine, if slightly outclssed when put up against my Wadia or Meridian transport and any one of about five far more expensive DACs (Chord, PS,Schiit, Alpha). My old Naim CD5XS still sounds pretty good downstairs.

So there you have it Ozzie. Enough name dropping for you? do I make it into the club?

I know I’ve sure got a hoarding problem.

I forgot to mention that I have been building tube gear for over 50 years and do commissions (phono, line, pp, SETs), but I guess that wouldn’t count for much in your world.

always supported the subjectivist stance, just critical of some of the behaviour that surrounds it, which makes me a rabid objectivist..
