Analog Guy, I am very sorry to hear that your family was robbed. I have no desire for you to feel your security is compromised by my request. I will take you up on your offer to contact you privately. To do that I would need your email address.My interest in this is very simple. You have been posting on gear, and you clearly have a point of view, an agenda if you will. That's fine, we all do to some extent. But you happen to post on equipment a lot. I find it very useful to have a context to understand where someone is coming from. For example, (a very well trodden one) Mr. John Ellison has repeatedly posted about his inability to distinquish digital recording of analog from the real thing. Well, a quick visit to the inmates system section places this in context. Mr. Ellison listens to self powered, inefficient mini monitors which don't have much resolving abilities. So, his stance is entirely comprehensible.
If you wish to disparage Shindo's vinyl setup, for example, the first thing I wonder is, what are you listening to? If you think that is poor value (you injected the concept of value in that post, remember?) the first thing I would ask, is what do you consider "good value" and that is usually answered by seeing how people plunk down their own money.
By the way, I don't make documentary films, but what's up with "maybe go back to shooting films about swing music or tufts?" To "go back" I would have had to have been there already. Maybe you IMDB'd the wrong guy?
Oh, and Milo, contact me privately about coming by for a listen if you like. For that matter, my door is always open if someone wanted to come to the Mill for a session.
Jonathan
