Hmmmm....or maybe they just discovered another audio board to be worshipped at ? It must be a huge ego feed to those three to have a whole new bunch of fans drooling on them while trying to butt in on their quasi-intellectual public jacking off.
So far this has not been a quasi-intellectual jackfest, but a continuation of a feud that started on another site.
While it IS great to have all the new members that are either reviewers or manufacturers, I would hope that their contribution would be more than a pissing match.
So far I noticed that John Curl has made a post or two that has contributed to the forum in a positive way, and I very much look forward to the time that the others can end the dispute in the Critics Circle and contribute to our hobby as well.
I feel certain that time is close.
While I am not in (shock and) awe of the new members, as I think the manufacturers that have forums here are just as talented, I do respect what each of the new members have done in thier field. Whether that field is reviewer or amp or cable manufacturer, their contribution to our audio hobby has earned my respect.
