Reading between the lines, I get the feeling that this is also JA's neighborhood. My first reaction is that like most of the close in NYC area, its a smelly $#!^ hole. I've spent enough time in NYC that my brain filled in the sounds and smells that go with the pictures. So I'm thinking who are you, Detroit-boy to cast stones? Fact is that the population density around here is low enough that the place blows clear due to the natural forces of nature. There are just too many sources of pollution (IOW people) in the near-in NYC area for that to happen there. I agree with you. BTW compared to my experiences with some other well-known SP staff like Fremer, this guy is Mr. personality. His audio systems and his so-called audio lab appear to be artifacts of the 1970s. The brand names and model names have changed but the basic technology is pretty much the same. We both have Heathkit 'scopes, but mine is not in use and hasn't been used for decades. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ arnyk's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=64365 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=107118 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
