This has got to be the corniest description I've ever read for selling an audio component. I don't know but this guy may need help :D

What a corn-ball

"Appreciation of audio is a completely subjective human experience. Measurements can provide a measure of insight, but are no substitute for human judgment. Why are we looking to reduce a subjective experience to objective criteria anyway? The subtleties of music and audio reproduction are for those who appreciate it. Differentiation by numbers is for those who do not".--Nelson Pass Pass Labs XA25 | EE Avant Pre | EE Mini Max Supreme DAC | MIT Shotgun S1 | Pangea AC14SE MKII | Legend L600 | BlueSound Node 3 - Tubes add soul!

    I bet he wacks it like a red-assed monkey in that chair the amp is sitting on.

    I know that loser from another forum. He approached me about a big Realistic STA-2100 receiver that I had. Struck a price, shipped it out, and never heard another word from him. No "Thanks it just got delivered today" or anything. These kind of folks I don't need.

    Remember, not everybody is perfectly normal............... like us.

    I've had people completely disappear after I shipped out gear, however they already paid for it so I personally don't give two **** if I hear from them again. Their silence is just as good as saying "it made it here safe." I'm sure if there was a problem he'd complain about it.

    I like to treat my customers better than they treat me. I also got raised during a weird time frame. We were "encouraged" to say please and thank you.
