Classic gear from yesteryear; vintage audio standing the test of time.

Re: If you think distortion specs and wattage...

The guy who started this thread likes to start flame wars (His last thread was halted by the moderators). The other day he had a really angy rant about the Japanese "brainwashing" American consumers into accepting junk for hi-end. His language was filled with borderline bigoted remarks as well. Here is an example of his ignorance:

"After they made money off the Americans, and ruining the American audio market at the same time, the Japanese mop up the rest of the American made vintage audio equipment and display them like trophies in their wooden ricepaper houses.

This kind of marketing strategy is more like invasion without war.

The Chinese, they are making reasonably priced tube gears and import them into the US. Why aren't they making transistor stuff? Because people like us talking about tubes all the time, so tube is a buzz word to the Chinese. So they make some lower quality tube stuff and sell them for maybe $2995 a piece, to compete with some $7500 Conrad Johnson stuff, the Chinese figure if they can sell 4 pieces of $2995 stuff in a month while Conrad Johnson can only sell 1 piece of $7500 in 6 months, the Chinese win.

Come on Americans, when are we gonna wake up."
