Sounds like something isn't adjusted properly on that amp... Bad bias maybe?
As to the OP's link-regardless of how you feel about the test methodology or fancy power cords, I think we can agree that Mark comes across as the more reasonable individual in that email exchange. I'd not have had nearly that much patience. Yee-ikes.
well, I had this thought: 'Mark' prolly should not have posted internal exchanges between the two. Granted its not ILLEGAL (yet), without full permission granted by saying "I am gonna post our email exchange in public to make a point".
If 'Mark' is a reporter or aspires to be one, did he inform 'Bob' its all on the record? My take on 'Bob' is that IF the exchange posted as emails is correct and not edited, he is a hothead a little on the childish side with a truth problem. The emails clearly say he did invite the guy to do whatever and he denied it thricely later. Bad show. As I said, if the exchange is in reality as posted.
And thus is the problem with our world online...when this stuff was new (and trust me, I was there) everyone (incl me) naively assumed that all participants would adhere to a gentlemans agreement of civility.
HA.
so we have censorship and moderation and reviews and what have you online, and such is added that there is no consistent set of standards per location, let alone among them so flame wars and 'revenge <insert word here>' have become among the most entertaining things on the planet. on topic side bar: as many know, I work for the man, and all my presence is monitored and I am held to a much higher standard than the rest of the civilian population. Yanno, its not such a bad idea...(under recommendation) I dont have social media and I pause before send, to make sure I dont post or show something that does not get an editing: it can generate an arrest. It may be the case that some day this applies to the internet. I cannot stand on the corner and scream at someone they are an asshole without expecting SOME sort of law enforcement interdiction. IT may (hopefully) come to that online. That all being said, they had a disagreement. 'Mark' did his job as his website purports it to be. 'Bob' over reacted, fibbed and took his ball home to play and 'Mark' responded to the sting of having said ball taken away, by an appeal to the masses.
In this world, the norm, but it would have been better if they kept it private. (and in the end, does it REALLY freaking matter? pick a good enemy before you draw your sword....just sayin)
of course I still personally feel the cable/wire people are nuck futts but I wont let that stand in the way of eating a good cheesesteak and prolly would still replace their blown differential inputs for them. (but I would coat them in cheese sauce cuz that adds....yanno....flavor)
ps: 2500 members? we have more than that in the classic oldsmobile club. peeshaww....
