Yeah, well, it all comes back to what I said to you earlier 'bout goin' round in ever diminishing circles chasin' our tails... The more so now that I look back over the past 30 years and I realize that apart from one or two very rare instances we have all been conned by the marketing hype of the rags that the latest is gotta be better than what went before. If that were so how come we are back to tubes and fullrange speaker systems? Somehow it does not take an Einstein to figure that Paul Voight/Lowther (for instance) had it right the first time, if they didn't how come they are still in business making the same stuff almost 70 years later when in that time hundreds, nay, more had come and gone trying to flog the 'you beut latest' over the same timespan?. I think somewhere along the way a lot of us (including me) threw the baby out with the bathwater reading that drivel hoping for nirvana when in fact to a certain extent (tweeks apart)we had it all along, but then it was too late. It's hard to get off a ferris wheel until it comes full circle and there seems a heck of a lot more people thanks to the net queing en masse falling over each other to get off...
