Lawl, no shit.
I actually chuckled.

nG

Some people are so far behind in the race they think they are in the lead......

Well see they both are high dollar but the CD player is more high dollar than the SACD/DVD-Audio player.... Maybe it's because on the CD Player I have Nordost Cables and on the SACD player I don't... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Oh I see. I was under the impression that you were running the same cables. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Nope..... I actually am using 3 pairs of cables for that player, and well they are all different types... LOL...

If you spent that bloody much you should have a lot more to show for it than some crappy looking DIY line arrays (which you preech to be so cheap) and some PA amps....

The budget line array was a project I made for my friend, it's not a project

that I claimed as mine. I just happen to have possession of it until he can afford

to pay for it and it's cranking tunes being used in the mean time.

You don't understand amplifier or speaker design so why argue about the

pro amps are a great solution to a problem.

If you were here for the past 23 years, there would have been plenty to show you //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

OK, I guess I'm just a n00bxcube....

There is nothing wrong with using pro-amps nothing at all. QSC are great amps, I would say better than a lot of home audio amps.

Have you designed your own amps too? That bold statement doesn't even make sense....

I'm sure over 23 years you have gone through a lot of stuff.

What are we even arguing about anymore?

Every time I post something interesting, you assume that I'm anti-dollar, ie..

don't spend big money on audio //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif Cheap stuff rules... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif

If you really knew me, you'd know that my audio habits are pretty

hardcore, I've spent alot of money on projects over the last 23 years.

Many are temp projects to learn.

But I don't recommend spending big money on other things in audio chain,

the money is better spent elsewhere. You can disagree which is fine by me,

but don't assume that I can't afford expensive gear, lol ... .

One old school project 'Voice Blaster', cost me at least $20k. A project where

you design and *try* to take a product to market with no help from others.

I've designed many circuits, audio and not. I've modded existing circuits, etc.

The last home amp project I worked on, I finished the mods and did PCB

layout. A prototype was needed to verify performance. But, to execute

the project and to build many professional looking home amps, I'd need

about $10k to get bulk order parts. With a $10k budget, it was just easier to get

used proamps. Unlike many delusional designers, I won't make SQ claims on

electronic circuits if they are executed well. If you follow some of those

people, they make way too many outrageous claims which are really placebo effect.
