Do a search!!!

In Reply to: I thought his post was very informative. He actually compared the Panny and ... posted by Fiddler on January 5, 2004 at 07:42:01:

No relevant information? I just didn't want to re-type what's been typed 100 times by others on this page already, his questions were answered by owners with real experience 100 times over. Doesn't anyone read the posts before they respond any more? Doesn't anyone search what's been said already?

Ok, just for you, I'll answer all my own questions strictly by summarizing what's been typed 100 times over in the last week on various panasonic threads (do a search and read!), summarizing what a ton of others (actual panasonic owners) have typed previously, many right in this very thread - here ya go:

1. Who said it bested the PS Audio?
Nobody
2. Best only with small monitors? 90db only?
Are you kidding? Speakers I can think of
offhand from happy owners include B&W 801's (modified - 3 ohm min),
Dynaudio BM6 (4 ohm), Maggie MG12 (4 ohm), two different
users with Stax electrostatics - there are many more,
just do a search for panasonic and read
3. Can't drive difficult loads?
See above
4. Budget freaks - are you kidding?
I have about $20k worth of equipment at
home right this very instant, and am dwarfed by many
others who have much more $$$ worth that also love the
panasonic, so they have good comparisons - do a search
for panasonic, you'll see. I can afford whatever I
want, and my Quad 989's are at home waiting, not to
mention a quad stack, a naim stack, a sunfire stack,
quad 57's, tons of vintage, and on and on and on
5. Who the hell would hype pansonic - and why? To what end?
I would - when it sounds like this, for
$300, and you get a preamp, 100W poweramp, DAC, actually
6 channels @ 100 watts, equals $50 per channel. To what
end? I only wish this happened 15 years ago, when I didn't
have the money, and had to eat kraft dinner for 2 years
just to get my fisher tube amp, and Quad ESL 57's

Then you go on to quote me and throw it back "Your details are short, but your wind long - can you reverse that and be constructive?, I think it might be better to suggest that you take the whole damn bottle of medicine!" - can you read man? How much more specific can I be that what's in this thread alone? Much less 100 others - do a search and read, please! I did a search of your posts, on at least 10 occasions in the last 200 posts you've told OTHERS to do a search first! In this case, your suggestion applies "I think it might be better to suggest that you take the whole damn bottle of medicine" - do a search of your own posts for the word "search"

And as regards to detail, I didn't even hit on the main points that Nietzsche didn't mention - what speakers did he use that it didn't drive? What speakers did he use at all? What CD's or records did he listen to? What were there deficiencies compared to the PS Audio? What power cord used for the panasonic (again, do a search - universally agreed it makes a MAJOR difference). That's what you call informative? I won't even get into "constructive".

If you want to see some fair, controlled, open shootouts go to audiocircle.com and learn. Nothing left to chance, everything disclosed.

If stereophile did even a brief comparison like that, you'd be all over them!!!

Believe me, nobody feels enough has been typed about the panasonic more than me, and this will be the last thread I participate in unless there's a genuinely new topic about the panasonic at hand - because it's all been said, and nobody is reading before posting any more. Your response, and the one I'm typing now, could have both been avoided if you searched for panasonic, and read - and you'd see plenty from me and others.

I figure that since Nietzsche hasn't answered since, he did do a search and is reading - thank you for that Nietzsche, if that's the case.
