Ever Consider ?


That what one, particularly one with a bruised ego automatically assumes to be a definitive example of bashing by some untoward lout, but just may in fact, actually be an entirely well meaning sincere, warning "Buyer Beware" or "Heads up" ?

Your statement appears to be simplistic and presumptuous, the result or seeing that an Inmate (or Inmates) have rained on your little ego trip parade by having the unmitigated gaul and temerity to actually be critical of something you just happen to have either bought or bought into ?

I've always considered that one of the most valuable aspects of a special interest forum of this sort is being able to derive meaningful information and knowledge concerning the actual merits and demerits of objects of our interest from the perspective of owners, dealers or even that which is rumored, but most importantly do not have a commercial interest, obviously there's always going to be a range of opinions some valid some just based on biased or folks who have an agenda, then again that does require a degree of sifting
and thinking.
I've always thought it was quite easy to read the threads and separate the "Wheat from the Chaff" as opposed to the Audio press where in many instances anything considered even remotely critical or negative may well involve the loss of that manufacturers advertising revenues, as well as the "guilty of candor" hack in question being sent down the road.

Many or even most of these rags are now little more than thinly veiled manufacturers Product showcases, where even carefully reading between the lines isn't useful these days, about the only real value is if you're already hot for something and need just a little more of a push (rationale / justification) you can read about all the subtle nuance and have a bunch of smoke blown up your ass.

Perhaps we should have an alternative Vinyl Asylum " Analog Circle jerk " ? where seldom is heard a discouraging word and the skies are not cloudy all day ;-)
