Dear Club Polk,
Please step in and delete this thread. I'm sure it is just wasting space on your server. -

I couldn't agree more.
I'm sure you will get the classic "if you don't want to read my posts put me on ignore" from the F1 peanut gallery. :rolleyes: -
Only because I feel like im talking to a spoiled 10 year oldChildlike? Look who's talking...
REGARDS SNOWWell, I just pulled off the impossible by doing a double-blind comparison all by myself, purely by virtue of the fact that I completely and stupidly forgot what I did last. I guess that getting old does have its advantages after all -

I'd rather be a spoiled 10 year old than a crusty ignorant, opinionated, can't spell worth a damn, e-forum know it all.
What is so amusing is that you can't seem to comprehend nor address my replies and avoid them with ad hominem attacks and wannabe audiophile conjecture.
Still waiting for you and your buddy to backup your previous claims...........
Until then you just appear as a desperate bunch of blowhards. -
Based on the context of the entire conversation here I'd say the onus and burden of proof to back up your statements is on you and your buddy.
Cite where I said my receiver acting as a preamp sounds better.
Remember YOU and F1 both made statements based on the reverse.
Blah Blah Blah
No only that after a while this old addage holds true.Is this getting too complicated for you?
Never argue with an idiot because they will drag you down to there level and beat you with experience.
This is my last post on this subject by the way. You bore me

I accept your retort as a total concession that:
A. You can't back up your claims with facts.
B. You can't cite where I made the statements I asked you to cite.
C. You still can't take the time to spell check your replies, in addition to lack of fact checking. How is anyone supposed to believe you are credible when you can't even string sentences together properly past fourth grade material or display any modicum of intelligent debate?
D. You are a font of fortune cookie sayings that you don't follow.
E. You fail at backing up your argument(s) with nothing other than cow dung.

I hate to interupt a good conversation with a silly question, but has any one had the pleasure of owning one of the classic ESPIRT series of the early 80's?for example http://www.thevintageknob.org/SONY/sonyesprit/TAN900/TAN900.html. They were certainly leading edge designs for the time and apparently sounded quite good.Some models fetch a good buck on the vintage market.Testing

Sorry. Neither of these prolific posting Internet know-it-alls have the slightest idea what they are talking about. Spending money like a drunken sailor does not make you an expert.
wow zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzPlease. Please contact me a ben62670 @ yahoo.com. Make sure to include who you are, and you are from Polk so I don't delete your email. Also I am now physically unable to work on any projects. If you need help let these guys know. There are many people who will help if you let them know where you are.
Thanks

XJRGUY, it's time to shut up. You are out of your league. The fact is that many folks have invested in and appreciate a hell of a lot more gear than your simple Sony reference point has aforded you.
BlueMonkey, you have no dog in this fight. Move on. -

No to your question on the Esprit line, but that is a great site you mentioned.
Lots of good high res pics and info on vintage sony gear. -

According to you? And what authority are you on anything other than poor character judgement and uninformed assumptions?
This is a SONY ES thread by the way so I am well within my right to discuss Sony.
And again, you win the prize for ignorant post because you ASSUME that my "simple Sony references" are all that have afforded me. You don't know me and I don't know you so STFU with your ad hominem ignorant accusations.
Until anyone backs up their claims about the preamp vs. receiver as pre amp, Mr. Dave, all of you coming in here to dogpile on me are nothing more than the blind following the more blind (and DEAF for that matter)
BlueMonkey owns Sony gear so I would say that person does have a dog in the fight.
Why did you come in here anyway Dave? What knowledge are you spreading?
From my vantage point, absolutely NOTHING. -

A few snippets from our new resident troll.
"Nobody can believe an a-hole like me got lucky to have her fall in love me. Seriously I think she is just with me because of my status here."
"On a more "serious" note, I got an "infraction" tonight over at sh*tperformance for calling someone a "moron"... "
"xjrguy gives handjobs for crack"
"I pass a red Terminator convertible every day when going/coming from work. It's on Corbin parked on the street."
"I think I am going to print flyers and hand them out at the next Village Coffee Roaster Super Car Sunday gig over at the shopping mall."
Oh yeah, hope to see you at the Valley circle meet in Calabasas on Sunday. Will you be driving the Mustang, the Viper, the Volvo or the bike? I ask because you don't seem to talk about a Jag anywhere.Political Correctness'.........defined
"A doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical minority and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a t-u-r-d by the clean end."

Its nice see such detailed pics,its hard to believe Sony was building those back then.I have had the oportunity to see inside some of the big amps of that era from the likes of Bryston,Krell,Threshold ,Hafler etc.IMO the Sony is atleast their equal construction wise and actually better than 2 of the ones I mentioined.Lots of good high res pics and info on vintage sony gear.Testing

Oh wow, you googled my handle. BFD.
And post trolling is the BIGGEST act of desperation ANYONE can hope to achieve, when one can't take the heat in the current thread.
For your information I owned a Jaguar for many years and the handle just stuck.
Still waiting for you to substantiate YOUR previous claims. -

So, the tags you added, "jagsrule" and "xjr owns 1" are just another lie like your claim of owning high 5 figures worth of gear.
Hilarious!Political Correctness'.........defined

What tags are you talking about?
I owned a Jaguar, what's your problem? Did I say I still owned it? WTF is your problem?
I sell the car and I am supposed to change my handle because of that? You are ridiculous.
I do own the gear I stated I do. Believe it or not I don't care.
Keep trolling *******.
You still haven't addressed your preposterous claims here.
What do you drive, what big bad preamp do you own, Mr. Anonymity.
Here's the Jag I used to own. Keep doubting. -

oops:o that would be a ZR1
ZR-1 is an awesome car, no doubt.
Now is definitely the best time to witness the rebirth of the horsepower wars!
Right now the Viper ACR is the fastest street legal car over at Nurburgring.
I don't own an ACR, rather the SRT10 but if I were to choose between ACR and a ZR1 I'd take the ACR.
Lets just hope the domestic manufacturers stay in business to continue to produce these awesome cars.
The new 2010 Ford GT500 looks killer. -

From reading this thread, I think that quote is what happened to this thread. An adjective, high, was inappropriately used. If high had been left out of the sentence then, more than likely, all this nonsense would not be happening.
If F1nut had simply said I cant believe a high five figure system is possible with Sony ES equipment, since I consider high to be anything over $50,000., and XJRGUY said Yes. I should have said a low-mid five figure system, then a lot of this nonsense would never be posted. But, I suspect the usual suspects would find another subject to exploit.Lumin X1 file player, Westminster Labs interconnect cable

Yes hopefully.Lets just hope the domestic manufacturers stay in business to continue to produce these awesome cars.
The production manager at my plant showed up in silver GT500 convertable a few weeks back,not sure of the year but his Ford dealer friend was letting him try it for a couple of days.Nice lookin ride and I think its sticker price is close to 6 figures up here?The new 2010 Ford GT500 looks killer.Testing

The GT500 isn't close to 6 figures unless it's a GT500KR or some other special edition tuner or limited edition Ford version. (oops I just re read and saw you are in Canada, my bad)
The prices on almost all exotic/sports/High power pony cars have hit the **** bucket due to the economy.
I've seen GT500KR's on ebay for as low as 75K buy it now.
The new 2010 GT500 will have the 540HP GT500KR engine but a better interior (subjective) and freshened sheet metal.
I've driven a GT500 on several occasions and it's a great car but I love my 2004 Cobra (Terminator). It will also be more rare than the GT500 once the production figures are all said and done.
It's a great time to be a car enthusiast! -
Not sure if it was a KR or not,I may ask him next week and the price.The 6 figures was being thrown around by someone else.The GT500 isn't close to 6 figures unless it's a GT500KR or some other special edition tuner or limited edition Ford version.Testing

No worries, I edited my post earlier because I saw you are in Canada and I am guessing it might be approaching six figures up there.
Very cool, hopefully you got a chance to try it out.
The chassis on the new Stang is leaps and bounds ahead of the past Mustang vehicles.
I've read that guys with the 5.4L replace the Roots blower with a Twin Screw and get 750HP with the stock block. Amazing! -
Yep about a year ago our dollar was on par with the US dollar but now ours is only worth 70 some odd cents.So we take a 20-30 percent hit.:mad:(oops I just re read and saw you are in Canada, my bad)Testing
