I like Wildest Cat if only because he gets under STeVE's skin in a way that doesn't get him banned.

To our ears, the ERCs sounded much better than the AP, more natural and ‘analog’. The AP was a bit thinner, dispite the advantage of 45rpm. For us there was no doubt, these tube/valve mastered records are superior. Same conclusion as previously with the Kenny Dorham record. Yes, the ERCs are expensive. Do they cost too much? I don’t think so because i’ve seen VG+ originals of the Rollins at the Utrecht record fair for 2 or 3 times the ERC pre order price. These US originals are rare overseas anyway. I get the skeptism here at SHF, but you have to hear a ERC before you can judge. The AP 45 RPM was a flat transfer of the master tape played back on a pristine tubed Ampex 351-2 from 1959. If you want to mess with the sound, make it fatter, thinner, more this, more that, use a parametric EQ just like those guys in the UK did. Nothing to do with the true sound of the master tape.
"In fact, with the $50.00 AP in your collection, you could spend the leftover hundreds of dollars and buy an EQ for your stereo. Problem solved." Steve Hoffman, 45 minutes ago

Sometimes I try and figure out how some people get banned for calling a vinyl spinner a “record player” yet idiots like this poat every inane thought in their head and nothing stops them. The only conclusion I can come to is the Wildest Cat and his 11,357 poats in 13 months makes the forum look really active; Schnitzerphilip and his $20,000 Rolexes makes it look like the forum has a high income user base; 20 year old Mikaela shows that young females use the forum (and knows SEO tactics for attracting random Googlers to the place); and big city lawyers like rfreeman always have time to talk. This makes the forum look much more palatable to the advertisers (that definitely don’t exist, so keep donating) than the unemployed hillbilly Nazis that make up the bulk of the site. I think I said it before but I am convinced so many people stay there so STeVe can point to anyone in “the biz” who will listen to him - not many - how diverse his site is. - Mikaela the young 20-something female - Vidiot, the board’s favorite gay man - nGtar, the one STeVe points to as the forum’s resident black person - Rfreeman, the musician/lawyer that frequents the place - KaatheFake, the youngster who finally was banned and welcomed back (what ever happened to him again?) -DeVoe, the forum’s resident outspoken fat man who loved children and anal sex - Tim Lookingbill and Oatsdead, the forums “animal lovers” among more ... just a few examples I can think of quickly ... I think this is the letter from the end of the Breakfast Club...

Here’s a great back-and-forth between STeVE and that idiot from Montana: ' Born To Run ' At 45-- How Is It Holding Up ?Yes , Bruce fans ... ' Born To Run ' will be celebrating its 45th anniversary later this month. A true classic album and the one that put the Boss in the public eye. I recall he was on the covers of both Time and Newsweek after its release. I was at a party at some guy's place back then and he had just bought it and I asked him to play it and he obliged me. What an album ! Blew me away. I had bought the first two Springsteen albums before and liked them both but this was a different thing altogether. I knew the thread starter when I saw the thread title. Didn’t even need to look: Weird spaced quote marks, absolutely no artist name to help the search engines. Another on purpose example of a thread with a limited lifespan. Oh, the humanity! Good morning to you too ! A host really should be more gracious and accepting of his ' guests ' idiosyncrasies , peculiarities and piccadiloos. We're all on a limited lifespan. Let's just have some fun ! A guest should be more respectful of his host’s simple wishes. It’s very easy. It’s almost as if you want the least amount of responses every time. But since I deleted my bitch post less than a minute after writing it, having second thoughts, your quotation immortalized it. So there ya go. Fair enough. Now then...what do you think about ' Born To Run '? “A host’s simple wishes”... (said the man who started a fund drive during a pandemic – after he claimed he was not going to ask for money during a pandemic...) STeVE running off anyone with higher brain functions from his vanity website is why it’s only filled with the most insipid and banal “discussions” from dolts like WCFM. Not from Montana. He’s from Brampton, Ontario Canada. Slowly becoming the armpit of the Greater Toronto Area.

Just think of the special “thanks!” he could have got if only there was a donation involved?!?

Tony Plachy said: ↑ Guys, Please take a deep breath and relax. I am aware that older model Sony Play Stations can be hacked and you can then rip SACD's. Of course, if you have one of these in your possession you can use it (IIRC there are also certain older Oppo's and maybe some Pioneer players that can also be hacked to rip SACD's ). Edwin said that his gear would not rip SACD's so I assume he does not have any of the gear you are talking about. I believe most of this gear that can be hacked is no longer made ( I know for sure that the Sony and Oppo gear is no longer made). All I was doing was offering a way to make DSD copies of any analog signal (vinyl, SACD, CD, analog tape, digital tape ).
Weather or not you think a DSD recorder is of any value at an $800 price is up to you. If you can offer a cheaper solution for making DSD copies of SACD's then offer it to Edwin. My suggestion was not meant to upset anyone, it was meant to be helpful. Peace

And he doesn't say anything about the hacking............

I don't know which is worse: STeVE's "Rude F*k" comment (though I suppose the argument that it's just another example of "STeVE being STeVE") or Hymie The Robot's craven cave-in and further sucking up to The Master.

What is with that fucker and his thread titles? I don't know how to optimize a title for Google's algorithm and I couldn't care less. Did he go through the entire trust fund and all he's got now is VigLinks checks and fundraiser dough?
