Quite the contrary, and you would not be suggesting such a thing if you read a few other threads more carefully. It is not what you did, IMO, but how you did it (elitist and dismissive). Your own point of view was not rejected AFIK as "obivious rubbish from somebody that clearly knows nothing and only owns cheap gear" in the way you seemed to be doing with cnh.My mistake was interjecting another point of view which appears is not acceptable here. ...
Oh well. Neither decision seems warranted IMO, but if that is your reaction to a little chiding, which you may have brought upon yourself, and despite other respected Club Members suggesting you hang around a while, then perhaps it is for the best after all.... My response to F1nut stands and I hope my request to the admins to remove my account is followed through.
And now that I have acquired a veneer of culture:

My mistake was interjecting another point of view which appears is not acceptable here. It was not my intention to come across as "elitist or dismissive", it's hard to potray tone with written text. Howeve, I now realize that it's not welcome and I'm gladly going to move on and away.
My response to F1nut stands and I hope my request to the admins to remove my account is followed through.

You're persistent aren't you? -
If you have a genuine interest in hanging around and/or Polk speakers, then you can still redeem yourself if you try hard enough IMO, but you don't seem to be trying very hard thus far ...It's funny though, that a pair of Polk speakers my uncle had a long time ago is what first got me interested in this audio world.Alea jacta est! -
You're persistent aren't you?
Weren't you leaving? I would say you are more annoying....I mean, persistent._________________________________________________

SOPAThank God for different opinions. Imagine the world if we all wanted the same woman -
The majority of folk's who are new to a board try to ease their way into that particular forum's culture before spewing off at the keyboard. Here if one does, one WILL get hazed, but if one has thick skin and can show that they can contribute without pitching a hissy fit, they eventually find this place to be the best board around. Though there are close to 62k "members", it's a community of a few hundred.
Jesse can be one of THE most helpful and friendly people in CP, but he will put one through he gauntlet to prove one's worth when he feels the need or just get's that gut feeling that a troll has arrived. I for one am grateful that he does, because I'm not that patient and would get banned."SOME PEOPLE CALL ME MAURICE,

ND I could not say it better myself as a matter of fact Jesse couldn't, thanks keep up the good work!!

Too true. I caught some crap for a little post called "Fancy Pants Forums" although I seemed to redeem myself after a couple of weeks and this ad :
If you take some time to try get a feel for this place, you'll find it's pretty cool with some very interesting members and views. Hell, I'm still a newb but I feel a little more at home every day.Slowly emerging from the 90's

You know who would best those valiant contenders ? The adult star-nosed mole, that's who !!
This tough little buggar is better known on the streets as the Brittany Spears mole.And may this thread live on! LOL. What fun.
By the way, my favorite cheesecake is Ricotta, and nobody makes it like an Italian restaurant somewhere in VA. I'll have to ask Mark the name of it.
If by "cheesecake" you mean "lasagna", I'll have to agree with you, Ms. Cfrizz.
Sorry Blue, didn't realize you had something ready to go
No problem; as taught in the "For Sale" thread, "You snooze, you lose !".You're persistent aren't you?
Yes, F1 could be considered persistent.
They said the same thing, BTW, about William Tecumseh Sherman on his meander to the sea.
That's one of the things that got him elected President of Club Polk, though.
...that and the tribe of Jesse Groupies exerting their charms and undue influence on impressionable young voters.

LOL,I saw the "Emotiva" AD,did I see correctly that the guy that did it owns a Rotel 1075?cause that would be ironic.I've also been to Fort Wayne,the cake sucked so bad you'd think it was pie,imo.

I would say that this is long past the Emotiva story,we're up to novel by now.......

It's a trilogy, like the Lord of the Rings. After that, all the self-appointed experts will add extra reference material of the before and after periods, including detailed illustrations of everyone and everything, real or imagined ... and then there'll be the movie, of course ...I would say that this is long past the Emotiva story,we're up to novel by now.......Alea jacta est! -

Why is that ironic?"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! -

Okay, to continue from eariler...I have now installed the XPA-3 and listened to some music only, no movies yet. Being new at using an amp, (only used receivers in the past) can someone tell me what to look for exactly?? I put in a 2 channel sacd and started it. I at first thought I had done something wrong since I have my system set up to not use a sub with 2 channel - the bass was much more than I normally had?? I got up and checked my subs....none were playing. So I certainly do have more bass coming out of the rt55i's than I thought was pssible?? I have listed most of my equip in my signature so you can see, I really don't have high end stuff..From what little I have got to play with my system since I got the amp it would seem like a big step up for me!! Hopefully I will get to work with it some more this week-end and watch a movie also.
Please, if there are things I should check for, let me know. I am new at this and have 30 days to change my mind and send it back...Pio Elete Pro 520

Do you actually think you're going to get help at this point in this thread?!?! Good luck!:)
I've actually been meaning to read through this whole thing myself, although I can't figure out why...
For the record, I've read parts of pages 1, 2, 17, 18, 19, 23, 24, and 25. I think that tonight it would be a good idea to grab a six-pack and begin working my way through here from the beginning, so that I can completely and thoroughly understand the true meaning. Guy's please don't keep making this thread longer, as I'm already so far behind, I'm not sure I'll ever catch up, and then, what would I do? Where would I be?:(
P.S. This also represents my humble contribution toward the march to the big one-triple-oh! -
Bump to make this longer.

Okay...I am confused...fairly easy to do it would seem!! If you start a new thread on an existing topic you get chastised...so I try to do the right thing and it's wrong...Oh well,,,,onward toward the big 4 digit thread...just maybe I will get some advise or slammed - time will tell. If we limit our posts to 4 words we will get ther quicker??:cool:Pio Elete Pro 520
