Setting The Record Straight

POLLYinFLA,

Now states Tom, you're taking this all way too seriously. Me saying something doesn't make it so.

I'm glad you finally realize that Polly.
===================================================================
Me "insulting" your s-t-e-r-e-o is just that. Laugh it off. Why bring up all that stuff I kid you about, like your amp and temper, if you don't believe it yourself. I'm sure most people know when I'm joking, needling or being serious here...except you.

First I do laugh off anything you say about audio, because it comes from a "man" whose audio system consists of multiple mis-matched solidstate pro amps, copious amounts of equalization via low-end Behringer digital equalizers and your bastardization of Dr Linkwitz's Orion design. That knowledge alone would send shivers of dread up the spine of an serious audiophile or music lover, so trust me I'm laughing. As are probably 90% of all the people here who know you truly believe that "system" is capable of sounding like anything more than a giant boombox!

However what you call joking & needling when you talk about me personally is a different manner altogether. I've told you I don't consider your actions to be "joking & needling" but rather see it as what it truly is, your serious attempts to provoke an outburst from me, because you feel safe hiding behind the moniker of your PC. When someone tells you they find your behavior offensive and you continue said behavior it is no longer "joking & needling" but rather now it is seen as what it truly is, i.e. a deliberate attempt to provoke me. As I've said many times before you're behaving like a child who torments a dog by constantly prodding him with a stick, feeeling safe in what you do because you can hide behind the length of chain that restrains the dog. Then when you're caught poking the dog by it's owners you proclaim I was ONLY playing with him. Just like you want me to believe you're ONLY "joking & needling" me. I'd love to see you in the midst of a group of black people and shout out: You're all N#$$@*S and then tell them you were only "joking & needling" them. Sorry POLLYinFLA but I see such behavior for what it is, the actions of a sick mind.
=====================================================================
Now POLLYinFLA you really need to stop fibbing and telling half truths. Let's tell the truth as it actually happened shall we? It's true at one time I invited you over to my home. But that was before I knew you to be the pompous prick I now know you as. The "invitation" was for you to witness a demonstration of my being able to detect differences in wires when/if you changed them with me out of the room. It wasn't to avoid the spotlight of doing so in a public as you like to imply as I've offered this same challenge to RBG and Pat D-Cake. Hell all 3 of you could have come at one time. The problem with you objectivists is you all proclaim that subjectivists cannot hear differences in wires, yet when asked to come and see a subjectivist do so, you develop a myriad of excuses why you won't come or why the test isn't valid. I knew I wouldn't fail this test as I've passed it many times before! Just like I knew your objectivist would come out & decline to come witness the test. I believe your excuse was you had better things to do with your time. I don't blame you POLLYinFLA it's hard to see all your audio beliefs shot down in front of your eyes. However later much to my amazement you actually ASKED me if you could come and visit my home and hear my system. Or are you going to deny that? It was on 12/21/06 when you said: Tom, I'm giving you a chance to prove to me and educate me that your system is as good as you say and others have confirmed (as you said). Why no forgiveness for your fellow audiophile in the season of giving? Hopefully doubt has not began to creep in. If it is as good as you say, how could I not like it? Fortunately for me by that time I seen enough of your posts here on PHP to know you to be the pompous prick you are. So I rescinded my original invitation to you, permanently! To help refresh your memory as to what actually happened there's a link to your post below...

Do you really want to still pretend that didn't happen when I can prove it did? I offered you a chance to hear a 40W/CH SET which is quite high powered for an SET. And now you lie and say: There was simply no way I was going to travel all that way to hear something like that, which I have heard umpteen times before. When the reality is you; a) Asked to come hear my system, b) haven't heard a 40W SET umpteen times or dozens of time before, nor c) have you heard Aliantes umpteen times or dozens of times before.

Now if you wish to proclaim here in front of everyone that all 2-way monitors and all tube amps, let alone SET amps sound basically the same, please do so. You'll only be proving to everyone what I've been saying about you since the beginning ---your listening acruity really is piss-poor. That, however, at the very least would explain how you can believe that hodge-podge of gear you call a stereo is tolerable to you!
