Re: Hi-Fi mythology

IMO it was ever more bullshit started by the Flat Earth. Initially I think it was a reasonable reaction by the smaller dealerships against the wall of speakers and comparator switch box that was prevalent in places like Lasky's.

Ever sent KK a cube to review? http://www.legendspeakers.com.au/LinnTukanreview.PDF Everything KK says in this re...

Re: Strictly

I predict:
Ed and the Judge in the dance off

Re: I take issue with DQ Because......

I don't take issue with DQ because I couldn't care less what anyone else thinks. You see, I am invariably right, so there's little point arguing with anyone about anything; 'cause there's no need to listen :lol: :lol: :lol:

So I have lossy files, mangled twice and still enjoy ...
