Re: Subjectivity. Linn's contribution in the 70's?
In "defence" of Linn, think of all the work they've generated in the ongoing LP12 upgrades. Not only did people spend a large amount of money firstly buying the product but continued to spend "improving" it. And when it didn't live up to the hype, you were told it was not set up ...

Re: Subjectivity. Linn's contribution in the 70's?
Slightly aside from the OP but, in my locality at least, it's the Linn/Naim dealers who have survived. The dealers that dared to question the magazine reviewers' opinions are the ones that have long disappeared.

Also CD players represent far better value than record decks for similar sound quality.
Yes, I still purchase LPs for £25-£30 but I do question my own logic.

Re: Jokes & Funnies
When drunk men talk constantly, become emotional, drive badly, stop thinking and fight over nothing.
Hats off to women - They can do all these things without having a drink.

A woman goes into Discount Fishing Supplies to buy a rod and reel for her grandson’s birthday. She doesn’t know which one to get, so she just picks one and goes over to the counter.
