The Mike New Technics Bearing

[Stratmangler]

What's the story with Chris@panteg? He contributes here dosent he? How has he pissed so many people off?

As usual it's picking on specific points made and taking them out of the original context.
The thread that's causing all the fuss is here http://www.pinkfishmedia.net/forum/s...d.php?t=160688

I don't see what all the fuss is about

+1 nit picking, I cant be bothered with stuff like that, I'm off!

Off where, Andy, and for what reason?

I think you're overreacting a little.

I hope you're not referring to me, Chris. I've simply addressed some remarks chris@panteg has made on pfm about the MN bearing, which are rather misleading and far from factual. It certainly isn't nit picking.

Unfortunately Chris (@panteg) has a habit of doing this, when it comes to Technics T/T modifications he doesn't 'rate', even though he has no experience whatsoever of using them. It's that last part that I have a problem with.

He has a right of reply here, so if he wishes to comment on what I've written, then he is free to do so. I have no right of reply on pfm, which is why I'm tackling the issue here, in order to add some balance to the discussion and also allow Mike to have his say.

Hi Ron,

Before I joined the family of AoS I use to read and comment on Dave Cawley's Timestep forum, now defunct. On that said forum Chris P was an early and constant contributor and more or less devoted to Dave C's way with the SL12xx oft stating that he, Chris P, totally agreed and supported DC's 'HOLISTIC APPROACH' (laughable termology isn't it?) towards the modification of the SL12xx. DC loss favour with alot of people, including me for awhile, and his guru then became Richard of Vantage Audio as we are aware. Okay, a man has the right to jump ship and embrace a different religion, but me thinks dear old Chris P is, or can be, heavily swayed in his beliefs by a guru he later befriends and adopts said person's ideolgy for himself...

Spot on, mate, unfortunately....

Furthermore, if you go back and read the first few pages of this thread, and examine Chris' comments on the MN bearing, when it was first being introduced, the dichotomy between his views there, and what they are now on the matter, is 'interesting' to say the least.....!

No not going anywhere, just leaving this topic. I can't be bothered with threads like this, I'm saving my energies for positive threads like the new KAB mod that you listed.

[Marco]

No worries. When you said "I'm off", I thought you were leaving the forum.

I'm disappointed you think that this thread isn't 'positive'. I think it's important that people (anyone - I don't care who it is) who make incorrect statements about audio equipment are challenged and the facts highlighted instead, along with genuine experienced input given from those who own and use said equipment.

Or have we simply to sit back and allow such misleading information to be perpetrated as fact?

Lol! I'll let you fight the gallant fight, I just feel a little jaded and long in the tooth with regards to what other people think or say. I know my 1210 was transformed when I started using Mikes bearing I couldn't care what other people say with regard mikes design or work, I know it works perfectly well.

[Marco]

Indeed, and I don't disagree. However, I have to look at it, not from a personal point of view, but from the position that AoS members (many of whom also read the discussions on pfm) are supplied with factual information on Technics T/T modifications, and not mislead by completely incorrect statements of dubious intent.

Hi Folks,
It is no use getting all our knickers in a knot over a post/posts on another forum by someone who perhaps is pushing his own agenda. I guess Mr. Panteg has his own reasons for suddenly renewing is efforts in going after my Bearing or others.
I guess he will soon find a number of reasons for why my ETP platter cannot work either.
His comments on this forum have often given me reason to spill my wine with amusement, but I have always chosen not become involved.
I have now sold over 200 Bearings and customers now seem to be on the increase again, so I must be doing something right.
