wires. but take care or this thread will be closed. no strongly held opinions. this thread is a survivor!
a similar thread today was dead after maybe 5 posts. no profanity or 1200s either. just war.......high priced war. link proved that jumper cables make the best speaker war.
Why does everyone hate the Technics 1200?
I'm going to switch my answer again, this time to the "arrogance of the cheap."
It isn't the subject matter that gets threads closed. It is the approach taken by the posters. If they are considerate and respectful to all opinions, the thread can last forever. If, however, their only goal is to mock those with a different view to our joint hobby, then the thread will go away.
We are ALL on the lunatic fringe of the hobby.
I was thinking along that line. For example, someone asks for a recommendation for a cd player, the in come the "streaming guys" to tell him the cd is dead.
The ensuing debate is not really about computer vs cd, it is about hijacking the thread, for someones preference.
Many debates are more about changing the subject or pushing an opinion on someone, than they are about the particular topic at hand.
But of course, cables and wires are #1.
Also, don't forget UPS vs FedEx vs USPS.
Ebay vs the world.
Arguing about what we argue about.
I disagree.
