 > I'll tell you this..adding the Flatcap 2X XPS was ANYTHING but subtle. It was a night and day difference. Art Dudley claimed it was a scant improvement for him. Not in my system

Nah, that would imply small-mindedness, couldn't be!

LOL

 I gotta tell you...Brat w/o Prat is growing on me. I kinda like it.

Oh joy ... I certainly hope there's no AA penalty for contributing to the delinquency of a minor. :( nt, posted on October 20, 2009 at 07:04:38

 Not to worry...that ship has sailed.

 Excellent work Inspector Clouseau! Have you solved the Kennedy assassination too?

It's ironic this so called Dudley "obsession" you claim. There are inmates that regularly go apeshit on JA & Co. and no one bats an eye.

The ironic thing is that I own two speakers and a cd player Artie reviewed.

Here is big news, I think much less of Mikey's writing. Although the man knows his music BIG TIME.

 For what unfavorable reviews??? Ive only ever heard three products Artie reviewed, and I own them all. Interestingly, I read those reviews after purchasing, except for the Monitor 40.1, which I had auditioned extensively prior.

This forum is full of "gotcha" idiots who get thrills out of trying to marginalize posters whose opinions they don't like or who challenge the "authority" of audio journalists. Screw that, I'm flying my freak flag.

 spen, you are one audacious character, going out daily to 'fight the good fight' to maintain your right to criticize the high priests of audio.

some wisdom from brother ken kesey:
“Man, when you lose your laugh you lose your footing.”

la

p.s. "marginalizing": a fine word. how about "delegitimizing"

 I dig you brother.

Yes, delegit is the other word I was considering.

Mr. Ken was down with Sandoz, if I'm not mistaken.

 It's difficult, I know, but try to resist using this forum to get even for unfavorable reviews. If only it was just a simple matter of right and wrong.

Don't forget and leave Naim off of your coat of arms, Spendor Harbeth. Yeah, I know, "gotcha"! :^)

 How can an unfavorable review harm someone who is not a mfr or dealer?

 My amp gets a bad review from Art Dudley? And I get angry at him? Because it is worse than insulting my mother? Something like that?

 No one is accusing you of not having your priorities in order. Mother issues is all your projection.
