i thought the avatar meant: we're in love and finally married, here are our rings to prove it!
(dino, clarification lang, those are ring-fingers, not middle fingers, right?)

ive heard those 805s and i think they sound great although im not sure if its the humongous jadis amp or the 300B monoblocks or the new dynavector cart that is responsible for the beautiful sound. i failed to notice though if the 805s were on coins or not.
Same experience with me, after hearing live concerts at least once a week, my ears can no longer tolerate the sound these metals (spikes, footers, etc) give. Take note for example the sound of a violin or a trumpet. In my humble system, these instruments sound tinny and unnatural with the metals on. Do an experiment, Listen and You'll See.arnoldc wrote:several days ago, i decided to dump the lovan footers that i've been using on my speaker stands. the result was more body and warmth in the sound. in fact, i've never heard the Infinity Kappa sound warm like this and never thought it could. two records that i always use for reference is sergio mendez's mais que nada and the other is boston (self-titled). the cymbals on mais que nada seems to have more body, and boston's more than a feeling is now listenable even with the clearaudio sigma.
i'm not taking sides here, but this is the result and i am happy with it. YMMV.

There are always two sides to every coin. People like you who do not like me would undoubtedly see that Ms. Earwax "beat me to a bloody pulp" the last time around. Otoh, less biased people easily saw that she did not really engage me in any meaningful discussion at all. She simply resorted to ad hominem attack and ridicule as diversionary tactic since she has no answer to my arguments. What she posted were amusing, entertaining and laudable for effort, but they happened to have zero value for substance. It was the functional equivalent of a dose of daily tabloid gossip.

Overall I think she writes with style and wit. But the point she drove about you spending not so conclusive hours with Mark Levinsons hit the mark. You should have said something like it was your initial reaction or something and not speak in the absolute and final way that you usually do that results in the ire of some people. Although the term "beating you to a pulp" seems a bit harsh, she beat you nevertheless. And she did it with finnesse i might add. In the end, you never really answered her point with regards to the time you spent with mls. Zero substance? the functional equivalent of a dose of daily tabloid gossip? i think not.
