Actually, i thinks it's just that the act is wearing thin.

FYI, one could easily put together some "truthful information" about said act that would indeed require moderation

and I was beginning to think only I had an issue with these posts.

No you are not the only one with issues, however it appears the moderators do not have a problem with what IMO are repeated attacks on the Go-Vibe 5. It also appears that they do not have an issue with multiple posts in a row by the same person all whithin short periods of time (hours). Oh well ... so be it.

I enjoy most of Andreas posts since they are not always nice and dandy.

It's more realistic than people constanting raving about amps consisting of a cheap opamp and a few resistors for what is IMO too much money.

I love head-fi but lately.. all it seems to be is a playground for selling and not reviewing. This forum is truly one of the few I go to where almost no product is reviewed or rated with the consumers interest in mind. I can't swallow that almost every review in the amp forum is positive and if someone even briefly mentions that it sucks, they are told that their equipment sucks or they need better (insert anything here).

Well I have to disagree, at least in part. I'm pretty new here (old member, just not active) so I don't have much clout.

I have, in fact read several negative, or should I say less than flowery reviews concerning several amps. I have read some pretty off-putting comments about the LDM, PA2V2, comments about the LD2+ and arcing have paused my interest in tube amps, etc. (there are others). Now this hasn't colored me totally. I think I would still consider a PA2V2 if I wanted something warm based on all the positive comments and the customer service. The Little Dot stuff is very intriguing at it's price point, so I won't discount their stuff.

What I'm saying, I've seen good and bad, enough that I believe the scale is only slightly off kilter (yes, as with most enthusiast endeavors, the positives usually gloss over the negatives). It's balanced enough though for me to glean the information I need to make a more informed decision than if the information wasn't here at all.

x2

But for one example: the grado 325i - some call it screechy in the highs - some say no just right, maybe it's a matter of preference or synergy (not better x or y, but different, say tubes over a Rega)

but praise, less than flowery descriptions, and suggestions for synergy abound

same applies to numerous amps

this dynamic, with one member and one product, seems very different

Perhaps you can elaborate. How is a moderator to determine the truth?


What is apparant is that you have a strong opinion centered on GoVibe.

The truth is apparant only to you and those who agree with your opinion. To others it is simply an opinion not subject to moderation.

I suggest you may want to reflect on the distinction between truth and opinion.

 

[Andrea]

I meant to say that the technical information I gave in this thread is all plain evident (and useful?).

 

[Raymate]

Nice one Norm, this is great news. Having the choice is great.

I feel a third GoVibe in the near future

Cheers

R

So if we could all put our Andrea-filters

on for just a quick moment here, what I'd really like to know is:

- What are some likely op-amp candidates for the Go-Vibe V5S other than the two that Norm has chosen to include?

- Where can the novice op-amp roller obtain these little goodies?

And if anyone is feeling really ambitious, feel free to post further on the hopefully-one-day-sticky "Roller's Guide To Op-Amps" thread.

Cheers, Dex

Heh-heh, filter-off for that one, Andrea, thanks!

Now, could you suggest a good source or two for finding any of the good ol' ones?

 

[Andrea]

I normally order either from RS components or from the free sample programs.

Cheers for that, Andrea!

OK, filter back on!
