Marantz SA-1 holding up well agains next gen.?

Tvad-

LOL!
That is a little dramatic, but very funny!

Actually, would really prefer all the bantering to cease and let's talk audio in a respectful manner.
I know you feel the same as a pretty rational and fair guy.

Hope everyone has a peaceful and happy holiday. I do mean that. :)

Boa2-

Am doing wonderfully this Holiday by the way, but thanks for your concern.
I will keep your viewpoint in mind.
Not sure how my comments are vindictive. Folks claim Alex works 18 hour days. I am glad business is good for him.
Not sure why or how he has time for all of this nonsense here.
Maybe you should chat with your colleague 711smilin.
I think he escalated this round of banter.

Alex: Thank you for your offers ... it almost makes me feel as I do when I deal with your competitor. Included with their mod, they sent me free SACD's (their own recordings, on Paul's own label) and free SACD/DVD/CD cleaner, Shine Ola, which they also make, (Brian has made Record Research Lab cleaning fluids since the early 90's).

There must be something about the generous nature of the modern day digital modifer ...

Wishing you and yours a wonderful Holiday Season!

Jack

Lkdog, your post that prompted my commentary did not reflect this sentiment.

Well, it was certainly not intended to offend you.
You are typically very fair and objective and well respected in these forums.
Some are not as ethical, unfortunately, and it goes well beyond the silliness in these forums. I don't like getting badgered directly offline.

I will try and refrain from getting involved in such threads in the future. The Hatfield and McCoys stance between folks
who are enthusiasts of APL and TRL unfortunately diverts attention from the advances being made by these and other excellent modders.

It is all good for the end user and we should just enjoy and respectfuly accept differences and the fact that everyone has their own unique preferences.
