Thanks for clarifying that. I'm one of those 40 something schmucks with an MBA. I just don't have money to wipe my butt with or to spend on frivolous things like a $150 PC that's made out of hose and Home Depot house wire. God I love this thread!!!!

Which is why I said, "An MBA who got lucky"; someone who doesn't really understand the value of a dollar or the value of physics.

Maybe if the VD flag wavers in this thread increase in numbers, at some point their combined passionate opinions can cancel out engineering fact? Truth is decided by majority rule and gut feelings, right? ....Right guys?? ;-) I mean whats with this science stuff anyway?? Does your tesla or whatever his name is work for Virtual Dynamics??? Well does he??

Oh, and I'm also outing myself as a schmuck with an MBA.

How do you know what kind of operation Virtual Dynamics runs. Are you doing business with them too?

Have you ever received any free merchandise from any stereo equipment manufacturer? If so, did you return it after reviewing it like MarkL?

See ya

Was the equipment for review sent to you as a poster to HeadFi, or as part of the editorial process at Positive Feedback?

Has anyone else here received free equipment to evaluate and review on this site?

I'm not asking without being willing to reveal my own situation. I have never worked for an audio equipment manufacturer, distributor or retailer. I've never received free equipment to review on the internet.

I am not saying every person with an MBA is a schmuck. Throw out the whole MBA statement in fact, it was misconstrued (likely my fault). A more accurate way of describing the demographic is a person who has made a lot of money without much effort or ingenuity and as a result does not know the value of a dollar. I was saying that the person who met this criteria was a "schmuck" in my eyes. Furthermore, people who are on this forum are excluded from that demographic because they obviously care about how they spend their money. People who had to work hard for their money would not buy a $10,000 cable.
