don't confuse the intent ...

>>That's pretty cool you all are sharing album rip cd's so you can talk trash about each others systems. :)<<

First of, many other groups besides us, share high quality audiophile rips available to anyone using torrents.

Look, I have the utmost respect for those who share. With such an exercise, you inevitably put your own system's capabilities on display/demo. As with all demo's, evaluations are common-place, and since I critique my own rips, I invite critique. Hopefully it's constructive, and within the group I shared, it was always constructive.

John was well aware of these issue going in, otherwise why would he have sent me his rips.

Trashing never was an issue, unless you've described your rips beyond a reasonable description, and that's only happened once (guess who). Even at that, nobody "trashed" JE rips, I merely described the results within my system.

And remember, in a analog world where it's becoming increasing more & more difficult to gain access to analog equipment, sharing different analog equipment traits/characteristics allows you an opportunity to hear product(s) directly within your home that you otherwise might never have the opportunity. Certainly, I prefer that, to reading certain "reviews".

And note, it's not just a turntable/system share, I esp. appreciate the opportunity to hear different pressings. Also educational in terms of setup, such as sra, loading, mats, coupled, non-coupled, bearing oils, belt differences, drive differences ... other equipment variables ... truly one of the best learning/educational tools within this hobby I've encountered.

And BTW, I offered JE the same opportunity, plus any other cuts for his evaluation; but once he realized I wasn't going to wax-poetic about his rips, he declined.
