Meridian Unplugged - Powered by MrTechGuy.co.uk Forums Discussion Meridian - Systems 808i compared to G08

Hey sns,

I'm actually a pretty easy going guy, particularly since the recent arrival of my new son but... The single-minded manner in which you pursue some subjects on this forum with such an intensely negative viewpoint really sticks in my craw!

My original intent when I began this post was to write some huge point-for-point diatribe detailing the manner in which so many of your posts SUCK. However it's the Holidays and I've changed my mind. Rather I'll simply state that a large part of the reason I spend time on this forum (in addition to owning a boatload of M gear) is the generally positive manner in which information is passed between HitchHikers. FYI it isn't your often conflicting opinions that I have a problem with. Its your delivery. Perhaps a conscious effort on your part to set a somewhat less condescending, less know-it-all, just plain less knob-like tone in your replies would be in order.

Happy Trails!

PS: Your latest analogy, "it's like buying a $15k turntable......and btw DJs use their laptops, even for scratching..." really pissed me off. The statement is completely bullshit. Great LP replay is nothing like digital playback. Even microscopic levels of air or structure born vibration can mess with a phono cartridge pulling all that is possible from the grooves. Your DJ comparison is just plain retarded! I'm pretty comfortable in stating that the majority of HitchHikers aspire to a higher standard of musical accuracy than does a DJ!
