Re: Not Making It On Your Own Revisited!

Dear 01A,

Reading up on John Britten on his own web site, I believe he had a little help in his venture from people who were knowledgeable in areas where he was not, having said that he is a good example of how commitment and dedication can create greatness.

But being mainly mechanical and also dependent as much on the quality of the rider as on the design, motorbikes are not audio, so there are few relevant similarities.

I find it interesting that you bring up watches, one of the arguments that has traditionally been used by the very people who promote transistor amplifiers and digital technology is the fact that a digital watch is a far more accurate time keeper than any mechanical watch, and digital technology is therefore superior overall, sort of a strange argument to use for someone who himself believe in and DIY's the opposing technologies.

As you said it yourself, "Again this is not a audiofool pissing site but a DIY site", so I shall refrain from commenting on the rest of your post.

Sincerely,
Peter Qvortrup
