NOS Western Electric wire used for power cables??

Well now that we've all seen the worst side of what forums can do... let's eat cake and move on. Cats can come too.

There are always going to be clashing personalities and differences of opinion. It could be in audio, it could be in a bank. It is FAR too easy to misunderstand when reading text and especially when dealing with people on the internet. Ultimately, they're just words and are only sharp-edged when the receiver of those words lets them be.

So I suggest we let this discussion die or be deleted and move on from lessons learned. I imagine no one will lose sleep over staying in the gray area.

As Confucius once said... "Man who goes to bed with itchy butt, wakes up with stinky finger." --I have no idea what that had to do with anything. But there you go.

No argument here.

I have seen a lot worse. This is child's play compared to some other sites I have inhabited. That being said, I am not a fan of censorship in any forum and believe in freedom of expression even if it is deemed ugly. I am also not a fan of aggressive, unbalanced, unsubstantiated claims about equipment (and more importantly equipment comparisons) that can metamorphosize into a nasty dialectic of slander/advertising whether it comes from an end-user, dealer, or manufacturer. We need three things: grace, balanced objectivity free of self-interest and self-promotion, and transparency.

The absolute worst I've ever experienced is the rec.audio.opinion newsgroup.

Haven't visited there for some years, but it was the worst cesspool on the topic of audio I've ever seen, and I've seen a lot.

SimplyQ: I know what these things might be/mean - radical subjectivism vs. scientific materialist perspectives. I want to know what YOU think/know/feel/see, RE: what "work" and "quality" IS...

OK, since you didn't answer my question, I get to ask another one first...What does this mean, and what does it possibly have to do with the perception of music:

The wild geese do not intend to cast their reflections,
The water has no mind to receive their images.

A real answer, please.
