Should there only be one company making gear?

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.

Nrchy,
You mentioned that you had never found a tube CDP that matched the digitals you've had/heard. What have been your favorite players?

Nrchy-you posted to me in a previous thread
"I wouldnt buy some of the gear you have on a dare"
This thread had not taken on a personal attack mode until you posted these remarks.
I came back swinging but after some thought, I had audiogon delete my follow up posts as I didnt want to heat up further the already heated thread.
Now you post this thread crying about gear bashing?
WOW!!
In one of your emails to me you said "tubes are for old people"
You told me you had some Conrad Johnson TUBE mono blocks you hated.
In this thread you state you own no tube gear.
I could go on about how this post (your post) is about people exactly like you,but who cares..
Man,what a hypocrite you are!!!
