That is a meaningless term outside of each persons own definition.

So let us explore your view that I should simply stop reading: I am a regular EBay buyer. I look on an "Interesting EBay listings thread". I find you yet again indulging in arguments that have nothing to do with EBay or listings and certainly aren't interesting. I am simply to stop reading so that you can continue indulging in your pointless semantic arguments with anyone who hasn't added you to their ignore list yet? Do you seriously think a forum can survive if it has a member who disrupts, derails and steers into conflict thread after thread? Readers will switch off and give up viewing the threads. Before long, they will give up posting and then perhaps visiting the site altogether. Is that really what you are recommending? I would think anyone proposing such a thing would perhaps not have the good oi f the forum, it's readers or its contributors at heart. You find me one arguement I instigated. I offer an opinion. And it is jumped allover. I merely respond. The point you miss is that managing the flow of a thread is a subjective decision and impractical.

Actually if you distilled your posts on this subject they can be paraphrased as
I Do Not Like Some posts what can we do to eliminate them.
Forums are free set up your own with your own rules or accept difference. You have no expectation rights nobody deos

Reality check young man .You targeted me .4
And once again you have the termity to offer your opinion on my motivations.if you had read my posts you would of course be aware of my raison d'etre on this forum.
I am the Don Quixote of hiFi fora. You and your ilk are just castles in the air or dragons that need slaying.that is for the reader to decide.

I do hope you did more homework before spending 30k on a digtial front end That is also the 5th time you have attacked me not what i actually posted without any moderation and in order to continue with your momentum you found a 17 day old post and commented on the spelling !!!!!!!!

I cant really be sure of available quality as is, but I want to see advances in bringing this stuff into a more mainstream package. I really don't want to be downloading and updating software or wiring computer bits together. I'd like something akin to a Brennan to be on offer from many high quality makers. I'd also like the same thing without the amp to be mainstream and as user friendly as Apple stuff too. Audition an Aurender. Doesn't have any of the complexities you object to. simple to operate (no more complex than a cd player) and gives great sound quality. No wiring of pc bit together in fact no pc involvement at all other than the need for a wireless connection for the iPad control interface to communicate. Im sur there are other simple to use equivalents. Hopefully some of them will be less expensive which is the biggest objection. Great feature is remote diagnostics, I had a fault early on and Aurender were able to diagnose remotely and sort out without any interference on my part. That was impressive if a tad scary. This post as me baffled , you say the arunder is good [ it should be it costs 5k ] and as far as i can see you can feed an analogue signal direct to a pre amp , yet you have 30k of clocks and dacs processing the digtial signal from the arunder . Is this correct ?

As always I accept you heard what you heard . I do not accept that I will hear the same thing for the reasons outlined vis-a-vis the infinitesimally small increases in speed accuracy .

Whilst I have some sympathy for that point of view and in the end I would probably say in hifi it trumps mine if commerce is not involved , the counter argument is of course I do not need to buy a pint of mercury to know it will kill me thanks to the wise words of others .
some times words trump empiricism.
If you have a speed variable turntable , you can of course do your own experiment . I can alter the voltage sent to my motor by 0.01 increments .

There are things I am curious about and things I am not .
One thing I am not curious about is whether small fractional betterment in speed stability or wow and flutter will make Genesis vinyl records sound better .
You have to be talking less than 1% betterment . That is a figure I do not worry about
This lack of curiosity is built upon a foundation of 18 months pissing about with ac and dc motors and power supplies .

"Some people may feel it's overkill, but honestly the improvement in timing and impact of the music is very noticeable. It gives the Ayre a very close race (and sometimes beats it) and brings the sound of vinyl into line with digital. No excess warmth or bloom."
I am one of those people . IMO a correctly working Technics traditional speed measurements are such that any improvement in them would have no audible impact upon a black disk rotating a 33.3 rpm .

If your critique { notice i do not lapse in to the lazy idea you are trolling, I welcome critique of all i say } , of my posts is going to be restricted to my spelling mistakes then you will bore the members to death and it will become a full time pastime .
I am amused that you can consider the level of disdain an individual holds for their country can be established by the use or otherwise of capitals .

That will be why I get renumerated for arguing and you do not .. Do you get paid as well being recounted? The word you are after is remunerated. cagey , probably best if you go back to ignoring me .

Lets have a re-cap shall , we . i made a post suggesting 3k today price was to optimistic and offered reasons why . Andre - sought to contradict me with rhetoric - That is he said I was wrong because he said so . His rehtoric is not very coherent so it is not 100% clear what he claims is incorrect . He takes issue with the price , but i did not say they cost £280. He takes issue with the date 1973 , saying this was castle first speaker . Castle own website says they started in 1973. And offers a baffling comparison vis-a-vis the price of alternative garrard Despite these facts, I am the one getting in the neck from the friendly forum - Go figure .

Helps if you advise as to The year otherwise it is pseudo aggressive pedantry.
For the record i didn't say they cost 280.
Castle website says they started in 1973.
