tketcham:

Are you the same guy who complained about this before, making similarly false statements about what people have written, and providing no evidence to back them up when asked??
Because THAT'S what REALLY sucks. These paranoid rants that people go on, because they "perceive" some of the products their favourite audio company or whatever isn't glorified and sanctified 100% of the time, "as they feel it should be". Ridiculous! "People who do this" have now joined the ranks of paranoid zealots who cry because they feel their "turntable and/or other audio product was put in a bad light".

**they didn't have the product set up correctly or use it correctly, or didn't give it a chance to break in, or received a used (or abused) item with problems not there when it was new, or the best one, it was a completely different component that was causing a problem.**

Who's "they"? How many people are we talking about here who allegedly "bashed" your favourite product? Where's your specific evidence of any of this, because none of those complaints apply in my case (I mean according to the Rega instruction manual, not according to YOU), and none apply to anyone else I've read here recently. You did say "recently" didn't you?

**The recent poster is certainly not the only one who's done this. They have now joined the ranks of many others who are guilty of this "quick-to-accuse" mentality. Even the "Reviews" webpages include incidents similar to this. "This product isn't any good." - and then - "Ooops; this product is pretty good."**

Who's this mysterious "recent poster" you allude to? It certainly can't be me, because I wasn't "quick" to come to any conclusions about my P2, and I did the right thing by asking people what they thought, BEFORE coming to any conclusions about the Rega. If you don't have the wherewithal to understand the distinction here, you ought not to be incessantly ranting and raving about "people" bashing your favourite product. The other problem with your rant here is that yes Virginia, there ARE products that suck! That's why webpages include what you consider "similar incidents" (which of course, are not, since I wasn't giving a review of the P2, or even a conclusive opinion). Guess what? So do audio magazines (on that rare occasion they don't mind pissing away the paycheque....). People have different opinons of different products, and sometimes those opinions won't agree with you. DEAL WITH IT. Don't do so by wasting bandwidth writing meaningless and misguided complaints about what you perceive is an attack on your favourite audio products (it usually isn't).

**THAT'S what sucks: the misidentification of the "problem" doesn't get properly identified until much later and the original post is now isolated from the explanation (and sometimes apology) for the accusation.**

Now you're ranting about "accusations"?? Anything else you care to add? Was someone killed in this as well? Stop watching soap operas, life doesn't have to be so dramatic! The newsflash of the day is that you're the one who misidentified a "problem". I somehow doubt you will identify it correctly "much later" though.

**If someone does a search of the archives, they may only get the original post declaring how bad something is.**

You see the selection marked "All"? Click on that, and you'll be magically whisked to "All" messages in that thread. Make sure you have a lot of time though before you click on it, because a lot of people responded with nonsense to my sincere query. Like you did.

**Slow down; ask questions without the assumptions before you make accusations of poor quality or sound. **

.... or of Rega-bashing. Try taking your own advice sometime before you fire off negative poster-bashing rants.

**Give yourself and the product some time. **

As I said, I certainly did. That was the --reason-- for my post asking for advice on what the problem was, DUH. Absolutely no one was able to identify the problem, nor was the Rega instruction manual, nor did the web search I did before posting on AA. Nor did YOU, for that matter, before firing off paranoid missives.

**Get things straight before firing off negative posts.**

Again, try taking your own advice sometimes, before you dole it out to others. Better still, if someone doesn't like your cherished, beloved audio product, for -whatever- reason, ACCEPT IT! Everyone has a right to their opinion, mate, that's what makes reading these forums interesting. Yeah, even misguided souls like you! If you're not strong enough to handle the fact that some people are not going to like your prized turntable, then here's a novel idea: don't go into threads that are titled "This ???? sucks!".

Have a nice day.
