    Damn, I gotta get mine upgraded...how much you charge for that mod...are the emus corn fed?

    You don't even want to know how much that mod would cost. It's a very time consuming process. Upwards of 7 figures...that's all I'll say.

    The Emu's were raised on a diet of cheap whiskey, cigarettes and stale cereal. I found that to be the most productive diet for the Emu's in my rig. It can vary depending on your application though.

    So people who don't own sports cars shouldn't talk about them? Good logic. :rolleyes:

    You left out the important part before.

    Just because I don't own a $50,000 stereo doesn't mean I haven't heard one before.

    Sure you heard one before but your opion is pointless compare to the opinion of the guy who owned it and experienced with it. Demo a system or a test drive only tell you wow or shxt.

    Experienced all settings and optimum conditions is a different story which tell you the true value of opinion.

    So I'm assuming by your "standard", that you are qualified to speak on the subject. You'll notice very few people here point to another's gear, and tell them it sucks. No matter your place on the audio food chain, we are all looking to move up.

    You're new here, so I'm going to cut you some slack. Limiting discussion on a particular subject strictly to insiders leaves out any possibility of outside ideas and knowledge. We are all here to learn.

    If you took any of those posts seriously...you have some comprehension issues. I hope you don't actually think I was serious about my Goldstar mini-component system being the epitome of Hi-Fi. I think you're likely the only person that took it in that context. That thing is a piece of crap...my other gear blows it away.

    So just because I don't own a Corvette doesn't mean I can't talk about them? I know quite a bit about them, and I can name the year and model of just about any Corvette that I see...I've read several books about them...and I've driven several of them before. Thanks for telling me that I can't talk about them just because I don't own one. I'm going to have to completely change the way I think now after reading that post.:rolleyes:
