luvdunhill Posted November 5, 2008 Report Posted November 5, 2008 ... and? would you have been more impressed if it changed owners without an advertisement?
deepak Posted November 5, 2008 Report Posted November 5, 2008 FS: Aristaeus - Head-Fi: Covering Headphones, Earphones and Portable Audio Are you surprised? x2 what Marc said...the point of this thread was
justin Posted November 5, 2008 Report Posted November 5, 2008 maybe it was bought by another manufacturer like the last one for sale
tyrion Posted November 5, 2008 Report Posted November 5, 2008 maybe it was bought by another manufacturer like the last one for sale Why not, it's an excellent amp. I am sure it was just a form of flattery on that manufacturers part.
spritzer Posted November 5, 2008 Report Posted November 5, 2008 Why not, it's an excellent amp. I am sure it was just a form of flattery on that manufacturers part. More like trying to figure out how these elektttrooostattikks work...
Pars Posted November 5, 2008 Report Posted November 5, 2008 Speaking of which, a certain manufacturer is showing an amp after a HF meet this weekend...
spritzer Posted November 5, 2008 Report Posted November 5, 2008 Would that be the amp rumored to finally bring some bass out of electrostatics?
kevin gilmore Posted November 5, 2008 Report Posted November 5, 2008 And a certain person just stopped by my office and begged me for a BH, BHSE, aristaeus, and a SACD standard for the weekend show. I was specifically not invited as it would upset ray. He really thought i was going to give him that pile of stuff on his "good name" alone. Ray already owns an aristaeus anyway, and if he wants a BHSE, he can buy one just like everyone else.

Ray already owns an aristaeus anyway, and if he wants a BHSE, he can buy one just like everyone else. Holy hell, nothing like asking to borrow north of $10k of equipment for the express purpose of having it have no representation at the meet (an individual owner) so it can be compared to the competition (which one assumes will have the benefit of having the company's owner present). That's a big set of balls someone has. BEEEELEEEEEE
Pars Posted November 5, 2008 Report Posted November 5, 2008 The other amp will not be at the meet, but everyone that wants to is invited over afterwards. Me, I'm going home... if I go at all.

What happened to the normal shitstorm when someone is "excluded" from a HF meet? Such as a certain reks had happen a few years ago? Oh yeah, you would have to whine, etc. too get that going...
laxx Posted November 5, 2008 Report Posted November 5, 2008 What would they do if you just decided to go? Tell them bitches to suck it up.
Aura Posted November 5, 2008 Report Posted November 5, 2008 The other amp will not be at the meet, but everyone that wants to is invited over afterwards. Me, I'm going home... if I go at all. I'm gonna be going right back home as well, have to be back in Peoria on Sunday. You should still come Pars, I'd be glad to see you there. Exclusion is, for lack of a better word, bullshit. Everyone should be welcome no matter the circumstances.
morphsci Posted November 5, 2008 Report Posted November 5, 2008 What would they do if you just decided to go? Tell them bitches to suck it up. At this point I will not be making the meet either. However, if the above were to occur, I wouldn't miss it for the world.
n_maher Posted November 5, 2008 Report Posted November 5, 2008 Am I seeing things correctly that fewer than 20 members have signed up for the meet or is the list simply out of date?
Aura Posted November 5, 2008 Report Posted November 5, 2008 At this point I will not be making the meet either. However, if the above were to occur, I wouldn't miss it for the world. You're not going either Jim? :/ This is disheartening.
guzziguy Posted November 5, 2008 Report Posted November 5, 2008 <snip> What happened to the normal shitstorm when someone is "excluded" from a HF meet? Such as a certain reks had happen a few years ago? Oh yeah, you would have to whine, etc. too get that going... Maybe something was learned from that incident. Somebody was very deservedly excluded from CanJam. Nobody thought that person should have been allowed to come. There was definitely no shit storm. The people running this meet decided that since it was impossible to have both, they'd rather have Ray than Kevin. I have no problem with that. What I find to be galling and show a total lack of class is to then ask to borrow Kevin's equipment. What chutzpah! It is hypocritical of Ray to have whined about being excluded in Cincinnati and then now insist that Kevin be excluded or he won't show up.
morphsci Posted November 5, 2008 Report Posted November 5, 2008 @Nate: AFAIK Billy was being Billy and so information was totally lacking. If not for Ryan, I think the list would be even smaller. Pretty much a huge disappointment for me. @Aura: The reason I'm not going is I have to fly out to a meeting on Sunday and my presentation is not done started yet @me:

morphsci Posted November 5, 2008 Report Posted November 5, 2008 Didn't -=she=- have more people at her house?!!? Umm, I think so but I'm not totally sure as I was on hiatus in Baltimore that weekend. Oh, and thanks for fixing that.

Ray already owns an aristaeus anyway, and if he wants a BHSE, he can buy one just like everyone else. Maybe you should host a meet at the same time with your equipment. That way people have a choice as to what they would like to hear. You also wouldn't have any trouble getting people to show up with their gear too.
Aura Posted November 5, 2008 Report Posted November 5, 2008 FIFY Didn't -=she=- have more people at her house?!!? No, we had maybe 14-15 people during the high point of that meet. This all is very disappointing considering my previous enthusiasm for the meet in the past few months.

deepak Posted November 5, 2008 Report Posted November 5, 2008 Woops, I removed the Canjam stuff. I mean the last line of Ken's quote.
