Lot of morons there who will argue against something without ever having experienced it too.Originally Posted by jandl100
...lots of doubting-Thomases who fancy themselves as technical gurus are on the WigWam!
But as you say, there are a LOT of knowledgeable folk who really have deep technical ability and know-how.

Want to let you guys know that Jerry introduced me over at wigwam. And his predictions were correct. The first thing he had to do was explain the picture of his speakers cause it drew a round of laughs. By the end of the day, however, a couple of guys tossed some accolades his way for the thread. And he hung tough, to his credit. I managed to get some of my posts deleted or hacked to oblivion- Jerry warned me- but had some fun, nevertheless. Thanks, Jerry, for your grit and determination.

I don't have anything to add. It justs seems like this topic ain't gettin much love. I suppose I could mention that some bloke named Jim Goulding got a Golden Ear Award from The Absolute Sound magazine in the most recent issue. The lease expensive product to ever to receive the award. I happened to read it. Oh, well.

Excellent - well done, Jim.
Are US audiophiles more adventurous and open-minded than us dour Brits? (I blame the rain.)
The US orders should be streaming in ... I'm surprised you have time to post here now.

Why can't other forums be as open-minded and restriction-free in terms of advertising as ours?
