The propoganda highway: What deleted posts?

Steve expounds : I don't want to sell to anyone here. I am not trying to convert anyone, only to correct misinformation and maybe downright lies posted here. The hum problem I was talking about was so bad the reviewer heard it when he entered the room and had to call someone down the block to rewire the grounds in the amp as the designer couldn't fix it. Then the reviewer only heard the hum when he sat in his listening position, I believe 8 or 9 feet away. It was amazing how the postings in AA didn't even mention this and how those same postings were deleted when going into the archives. At least I couldn't find them. Lordy, Steve... Not quite sure what you are talking about here as it took me aproximately 15 seconds to find that amp and posts in question. Indeed, I was involved in the exchange and I dont remember anything deleted. In fact, if you look, Gordon even posts the name and location of the Neil Muncy paper concerning the grounding scheme. Gordon goes farther to admit it made for good reading and included some good ideas etc. He also discusses the perils of a piece of equipment going to Stereophile and how sometimes things dont turn out there as they were in your designers system. On the whole, that amp you are referring to received a GLOWING review. Ironically enough, Stereophile has not yet even printed Gordon's Manufacturer Comments which should go in the issue the review is in... Wasnt in this month's edition either. Perhaps, it will finally make it in next month. I believe Gordon responded for the original issue. I dont think the SET crowd is as closed as you think, at least not ALL are, although, like any "club," it has its staunch members...Members who are more into the club/exlusive aspect than the product, or even the music, unfortunately. Still, you are coming down a bit hard on the ole SET. These are sensitive sorts that dont like loud sounds, sounds which might startle them... please.... respect their peace... But, seriously, keep the opinions coming. As Paul said, info is good. But your tone does need some serious work, as does the chip on your shoulder, which has become more like a solid block. I sometimes get accused of my humor being misunderstood or taken the wrong way; however, your tone is not too hard to ascertain and it's not a matter of tongue in cheek satire going awry. Dave touches on some good points below, although I am not too sure I agree with his analysis of engineers logic being the downfall. Indeed, I find that the engineers use their EGOS in the arguement, far more often than the average loon walking these parts. The manufacturers that tread lightly and are humble do well, while the fiends that come back speaking of lawsuits with accusations flying left and right...well...they seem saddening. One thing is for sure, the written word, especially via an email or forum is not the best way to judge humanoids. Most are terrible at it. And most read what they want from it as well. It's a double edge sword and I have been on both edges in the past. One other thing, this forum is not known for its keen sense of humor... Perhaps a different approach will bring results and responses that you will find more pleasing all the way around. kh
