    That ruckus in the FS thread was just a misunderstanding is all. I believe it's even been resolved. On the ruckus scale it rated about a 1.5 out of 10. Seriously, we need another thread about it like another cable debate.

    This stuff happens, it's the internet guys where it's hard to construe the tone of many conversations, let it alone. Maybe the mods can close this one out for the sake of everyone.

    Well I have to say I agree with everything that everyone has said.

    Good strategy. Don't let on that you don't have a clue as to what's going on

    Excellent points from all areas that display common sense and good judgement and ....

    Careful ! Don't over do it !

    .... stuff like that.

    Good. Now throw out some stuff to cover your arse just in case you're the one who F'd up

    Perhaps some input from Ukipha Heap of the Firesign Institute Of Philosophy can offer some insight and inspiration

    LOL!!!! I love your posts mrbigbluelight (most of the time anyway:razz:).

    Taken from a recent Audioholics reply regarding "Club Polk" and Polk speakers:
    "I'm yet to hear a Polk speaker that merits more than a sentence and 60 seconds discussion." :\
    My response is: If you need 60 seconds to respond in one sentence, you probably should't be evaluating Polk speakers.....

    I agree Drenis. I really like reading the different posts about music, equipment setup, etc. Most of what I have questions about are the same ones that many have so don't post often but I have learned a lot just by reading the questions and answers of others. Like someone else said if someone is rude just put them on the ignore list and enjoy the other great posters.

    Do cables make a difference?
    Good music, a good source, and good power can make SDA's sing. Tubes make them dance.
