Thanks, John.
I dropped out of here about four years ago when realizing the place has too many frustrated middle-aged+ men, once school jocks but now screaming keyboard plonkers venting their rage at both the dying of the light and feelings of having failed at life, shooting blindly at anything they see.
But, then there are also a few well-adjusted folks and even guys who have the professional knowledge and intellects to back up what they say.
That's where you come in. Your posts regarding the SL-1200 were what pushed me over the edge, especially in light of your long history here of no-nonsense commentary and BS-free attitude. I mean, who would seriously compare a Sota Millennia with an SL-1200? Whatever you said about that comparison *has* to be the truth.
My primary contact with AA over the last four years has been to check in about once per year and check your posts (any other subforum is nearly worthless), as you inevitable post cool things like charts, diagrams, close-up photos, and always with impenetrable logic and reason.
But, the piece de resistance was your awesome Mike Lavigne challenge, which, after 35 years in and around audio with 10 of those at a high-end dealer, is one of the greatest audio-related tests I know of. Talk about speaking truth to power.
The upshot is that this place is damned lucky to have a feller like you posting. Thanks for all the work you obviously do to promulgate objectivity and reason in a hobby nearly destroyed by thoughtlessness and charlatanism.
Best,
Kristian
