Long been the pastime here to knock all and sundry. The mags [guilty (and endlessly. But see no point anymore)]. Their reviewers (what ... they're not all virgins/saints/angels/genius'? You gotta be kidding me). Manufacturers (why they don't just give that sh*t away free to us poor audiofools, is a mystery to me). Websites, even musical artists (though it does look like Keith Jarrett needs a real honest to goodness timeout/vacation/or hug).

Yes even us Asylum inmates need take responsibility for our very own posts. Doesn't mean every post hits a nail's head. Or adds to the discourse. The DIY 'market', the used/vintage market, and the new/retail. Will all find their own levels. Making their own decisions. Following their own moods.

People buy whatever, for whatever reason. And unfortunately not every purchase is end result driven. In a new and different, and still growing information age. Those involved in the actual biz of audio will face new biz challenges. Myself welcome new and or different ..... especially if it also happens to make music. But that doesn't mean I'm going to get off my lard arse and look, listen, or buy.

I'm not a hundred percent sure where J.D. is coming from, and really I'm not knocking his post (shiver, cower, shiver) :-). Maybe make him the official Asylum designated reviewer for your product? Let him listen (and see) for himself.

Or not.

In the meantime, I also welcome your's and Harry's recent participation here. I see us all as one stripe [regardless of color (fwd/belt, rwd/idler, mid-eng.-awd/DD). Or which spectral end (consumer ... or producer). One vinyl nation, one music family, indivisible, with liberty to listen to any damn drive system, and records for all.
