Message-ID: <1292@vice.UUCP> Date: Fri, 3-Feb-84 12:58:54 EST Article-I.D.: vice.1292 Posted: Fri Feb 3 12:58:54 1984 Date-Received: Wed, 15-Feb-84 04:17:01 EST Organization: Tektronix, Beaverton OR Lines: 31 Oh, my... the hyper-objectivist and subjecto-objectivist are at each other's throats again. Before you begin open speculation on each other's lineage, why not state to the world your credentials? I'm sure all of us (at least myself) would like to know rabbit!jj's and Mr. Rastocny's (sp?) history in this hobby - present equipment - just how many CD players and analog systems each has listened to, and for how long at each sitting - and, of course, their professional specialty. This way we can determine for ourselves whether the aforementioned combatants are full of cr*p instead of having them tell us. I have been amused by rabbit!jj's tart rebuttals to Mr. Rastocny's impassioned postings for some time - but lately, their arguments have contained more character defamation than AUDIO OPINION. Mr. Rastocny, WHY do you pick on CD phase and not much else? Does `better' mean more like A PERFORMANCE YOU'VE HEARD LIVE, or like you think a live performance sounds like? rabbit!jj, what in your personal experience supports your opinions? I agree with the theory you quote but haven't heard much else. Define your terms! Define your assumptions! State your sources! I'm waiting...
