Chuck,
I live in SW Florida where there is an unfortunate lack of audio dealers.
To audition gear, driving a bit is necessary, so Audiotweakers is within that driving range. I've gotten some gear from Hollywood Sound near Ft. Lauderdale and from Renaissance Sounds in Sarasota.

I prefer to do my audiophile interaction on the 'net rather than over the phone.

Alas,It appears that
you fear me just as the rest of the evildoers in your organization do !You can do your club a service if you
would pay me a visit the next time you are in my area.I
can assure you that it would be well worth your time.

That's some ego you got there chuckles.

Who cares if people won't come to your trailer of soundly goodness, Chuck?  It just doesn't matter to anyone but you.  I'm not going to call you nor is anyone else, unless they want to.  If you think everyone here is part of some 'organization' and is against you, stop visiting and stop insulting people.

Otherwise, if you have something to add, please add it.  But, please don't turn this into another festival of self-righteousness.  It gets old quick.

Chuck,
my earlier response was undertaken with all the politeness I could muster:
actually, I wouldn't give you my phone # if your life depended on it. I don't fear you, I pity you---one little crumb of a post that you misconstrue as a compliment and you think you've got some audio buddy with whom you can chat on the phone. Maybe we'll have a pajama party and we can braid each other's hair???

In case this isn't clear enough:  I won't be visiting.

One would think that with all that has gone on with this thread and the other one you would  know my
style of satire by now.I apologise for using those negative words even in jest.I keep reading others telling
someone to come to listen to my system so I brought
it up.I could care less.and why are you telling other members to call me up .You have popped in this and the
tweaking thread many times.One piece of mortite is worth more than anything else I have read in this site.
If you read Stereophile or Absolute Sound you read (attempts) of real audiophes and reviewers to subjectively describe how things sound .That takes talent
and musical knowledge .I dont see that here.Most people who buy audio do so to impress others and not
for sound.Thats what we have here .also it gives you a chance to say things you wouldnt have the nerve to say
in person.Drop it !!!
PS ,You said tighting screws  was a good idea.Did you do
it?I bet you have a ton of loose screws on your speakers and other places too.

Professional reviewers should have more talent and experience than us amatures.

Some here, like most of the manufacturers with forums and some without forums (Mike Dzurko for one), have more experience than most of the writers of those magazines.

Certainly some buy to impress others and some buy to impress themselves..I'm guilty of both.

It seemed that Tonto was tactful at first, then after he was provoked by you he made things clear.  I bet he would have behaved exactly or almost exactly that way in person.  Maybe he would have chosen his words more carefully in person but the message would be the same.

Anyway if you stick around you will see that many cutting edge products show up here first and at great prices, then similar products filter to major companies that sell through dealers.

There are plenty of great products that are at or near the best in the world in their catagories from manufacturers on this forum.  The manufacturers are highly knowlageable and their customers are some of the most fun, gracious individuals on the net.

Of course we have a few kooks here too, right Chuck  :wink:

My only complaint about Chuckie, is that he is not nearly as entertaining  as was Peter. :)

Here are some of the things I have contributed to this site--Wonderful entertainment!More views on tweaking and gallery than anyone .Check the end of tweaking--$10 bass traps- wire damping--speaker baffles,resonators,speaker screws,speaker placement,AC outlet damping ,cheap ceiling diffusers,and
much more.Did any of you try any thing?Can you dispute their value?How can you pretend to care about sound which is all that counts.All I read are jibes about how my room looks which is all you care about ,not sound.

Actually the pics of your trailer were entertaining, but your sense of humor is soooooo dry, no one can tell when your trying to be funny and when your serious.

I have used acoustic panaling and I currently use 8th nerve acoustic room treatments.  I have recently rewired my speakers and had to take and and reinstall the drivers, so I know the screws are tight.

Last year I had two new 20 amp circuits run and had a new ground rod put in just for them, in addition I had Acme silver cryo'd outlets installed.
I use a PS Audio PP600 power regenerator for my source components.

So in conclusion, go  :finger: yourself Chuck!

Correction,
your should be you re.,meaning you are!Clue-I have never been serious because all of this is a joke .I am not trying to be I am funny!Lastly, You are wasting your time with all
this stuff you mentioned  ,because  if your wires arent
damped you lose half of what they transmit.This is a fact
confirmed by the manufacturers themselves privately to me,but it isnt good business for them to tell it to their
customers.Most of you are wasting your money in audio.Get a cheaper hobby.Collect matchbooks,coffee
cups etc.Audio is too abstract for you.You need to be involved with things you can see and touch.

Chuck, you are hearing voices in your head again......  Those weren't manufacturers, that was schizophrenia......

Correction,
your should be you re.[sic],meaning you are!


Actually, when one is speaking of the words themselves, one should indicate that with italics or quotation marks. Probably should use "you're" correctly as well. In other words,
"your" should be "you're", meaning "you are"!
