In Reply to: Jon, I agree that 89259 is a good starting point for DIY..... posted by Thorsten on June 28, 2001 at 08:09:38:
This shouldn't stand out so much but it is such a contrast with what you see in so many public forums everyday.I think it is also instructive of how much controversy there is in high-end audio. Here we have two respected individuals who honestly disagree on a few matters. Never seen that before. (sarcasm)
I think it points toward the need for everyone to make decisions about how/what they feel about a particular product or technology on their own merits. The Internet has encouraged people to seek out one or another "expert" opinion on a topic to decide what is the "best" product to buy. I would hope that the people in the industry would take the high road on this and discourage "best" and talk more about relative quality and subjective differences. I think Doc Bottlehead is a good example of this. He never slams another product and is always careful to explain that personal preferences are a big part of what is "best".
Thanks Jon and Thorsten for the civilized debate.
