Should there only be one company making gear?


Since there are such strong feelings regarding audio gear, with one company being right while the others are wrong, would it be easier on our psyche if there were only one company?

For example, one person might love Krell gear while another prefers the Rouge 88. Rather than the two of them fighting or disagreeing about the merits or shortcomings of the other, wouldn't it be easier/better if these conflicts did not exist?

Is it possible that there will ever be a piece of gear on which all audiophiles could agree?

Slappy,
I'm afraid Marco is right. You pinko commie freak.

PS. You are also deaf, and probably flea-bitten.

PPS. I take back the flea comment. No flea would want to associate with you.

PPPS. You smell funny.
Nrchy, why so thin skinned? Do you really think those people would respect you more if you spent more time rebiasing your output transistors or better yet chasing down NOS Motorolas? Maybe you should get an amp that breaks down more often or can't adequately drive a full range speaker.
Hey, if you guys wanna play with yer distorted-assed-tubes go right on ahead. No! Really! Im sure with a THD of 10% that yer getting the best experience possible! Gimme a break! Hell, Look at that WAVAC $350,000 piece of junk! Tubes are the BOSE of the OLD

HA HA HA HA

I dont need no stupid Magic Glowing Bubble sticking out of my rig to give me a good musical experience!

Come on you old farts! Time to put down the six pack of Ensure and take a listen to something called Technology. I know you all got a chance to see mozart in concert, but things have actually advanced since then.

"Oh no, my tube is going out!" Better get some vasoline, cause ill tell ya where to stick those glorified light bulbs. Maybe it will provide enough light for the proctologist to find that stick you all have been looking for over the past 6 centurys

Flea Bitten? The only Flea Bitten thing i see are yer dogs curled up in front of yer amplifiers thinking that its a fire.

Solid State! SOLID!

Ya rotten semineferous tubual buttnoids.

I feel so, so, very small! What have I done?! Slappy, you have shown me the error in my ways! I am SO TERRIBLY SORRY! Your words have mvoed me to an epiphany! I don't quite know what it is, or what it means, but I had it. I think I saw God, and he looked a lot like Nelson Pass! How could I have been so wrong? But, uh, KP is right...you do smell kind of funny. Oh, and me and the boys'll still be delivering that slice of that pie to you. We'll be sure to find some other reason for kicking your ass when we get there, but sorry for all the guff about the SS thing.

The most amusing aspect of my situation (other than reading these threads) is that I had sold my Krell amp before this person began their tirade and am currently using a friends Cary V12 monoblocks.

I'm pretty sure I will buy a Krell FPB 600 or the new FPB 700cx, so I can get back on the 'hate' list.
