The difference is that Lou does not sell this stuff, so he will not profit by future sales. His is a truely altruistic gesture. (unless he is a hidden sales rep, which seems unlikely

Oh, I wasn't talking about him specifically, but the whole Head-Fi essence in general. I can feel my money spendings switching from computers to sound. Yes, the shift is coming *looks out on the horizon* I feel the breeze in the air...

Once you discover that music can actually sound good, it is hard to turn back. I've been on the hunt for 40 years. The only thing that limits me is a simple rule - DO NOT SPEND MONEY YOU DO NOT HAVE. Take care with the money you have and you can get an above average sound system, then when you get more money you can take it to the next level. And as Lou has so nicely shown, if somebody shows an interest in good music, and you can help them out, do it.
Good music can be addictive. Like everything else, moderation is the key. But there are lots of worse things to be addicted to . . . And never forget, it is the music that matters - equipment is just a means.

Since I've been here I've received several people have offered to send me their gear to try out completely out of the blue. For example, I'd be talking about the MS-1s and how I think I may get them, but I'm hesitant since I'm not sure I'd want them...a few days later I get a pm from some random guy that sells I can try out his MS-1s as long as I pay for shipping...WOW. I've yet to take anybody up on any of these offers since I don't feel comfortable in this kind of situation and I feel the person is being too generous for his/her own good. What would happen if I suddenly disappeared from the face of the Earth and never returned the headphones? It wouldn't take much to do something like that, so I often feel that people go too out of their way doing things like this. I guess the best way to handle it would be to handle it like a transaction in the FS forum where proper feedback and what not will be noted for security measures.

Regardless, more power to you, Lou, for doing something like this.

Oh, and flame wars DO exist on head-fi. Usually the posts just end up being deleted so you don't notice them, or the flames are in the middle of huge, long threads so some people don't notice them.

Congrads...

Now, the only way of going up the headfi ladder for me now, is to win this
