[simonlewis]

Yep, true.

 

[robbie1982]

We cant all afford to spend thousands and ive heard some expensive systems i didnt think sounded their price

 

[chebby]

Yep, true.

Careful Simon, I think this thread might be aimed at your disparaging comment about the OP's Panasonic system ...

(the OP is the original poster - in this case you)

If someone posts a question on an open forum asking for other people's views on their system, then by definition you are going to get people comparing to other systems, and advising that there are (usually) better sounding systems available. Otherwise why ask the question?

I suppose a lot depends on how people answer the question and the words they use.

I have read some pretty nasty things on here with regards to peoples stuff

Eh? In what way was my reply sarcastic? I've told you exactly what you wanted to know, no more, no less.

wouldn't worry about it, it's just the internet. People do it for many reasons; trolling, to make themselves feel superior/better, because they think they are right, to bully and also to try and validate their own purchases.

Although seeing as the OP is asking for views on a specific system, you'd expect the replies to be from individuals who have heard that particular system, otherwise, they are of no use.

It's even funnier when it comes from someone who actually owns two items from the company that he's disparaging...

+1. Well said. They''e also probably constantly unhappy with their own overpriced system they keep tweaking and are therefore jealous that you are content with yours. I've noticed some nasty comments on here too. Anyone who disagrees with them gets argued against and they all gang up.

 

[robbie1982]

Well said

Ask a BMW owner

An ex gfs dad use to refer to BMW as the poor mans Mercedes. Now that's a snob. Or a ****. Take your pick.

 

[robbie1982]

I was going to ask for advice on a cd player

 

[richardw42]

For a BMW ?

 

[robbie1982]

No lol for home

There may well be some 'nasty things' on here from time to time (although even that is relative you just have to read some YouTube comments to see that), but it's rare in the extreme in my experience to see someone's kit slated on the basis of its cost. I've seen it a few times in many years, and I think every time the slater has been attacked for their views.

Simon's comment on your other thread was ill-judged and irrelevant.

 

[robbie1982]

Do you think dvd players can be as good as a dedicated cd player

 

[richardw42]

Yes

certainly if you use a digital out.
