wolfshead's Hartsfield

[scott fitlin]

I rarely post here, but I hope some people would be a little more polite about harrassing folks, especially newbies and people who are justifiably proud of nice setups.

Picking on Wolfshead because he uses a phone camera? Give me a break
He has the gear, he earned the money and bought it the hard way, new, back in the day, and he worked his ass off to keep it all these years.

Sometimes the old folks bruise a few egos and step on toes, but they also lived and experienced stuff we can only dream about, and they may not be the most delicate when they write. I enjoy hearing Wolfshead just as much as Harvey. In a few years more than half of their remaining generation will be gone, so I'd rather listen with muted respect than antagonize and fight to prove you are a righter and smarter person. My two cents worth.

Post #222, page 15 in the 'west coast vs east coast sound' thread, Wolf states he bought everything for $1500, and the guy was rich and really didn't need the money, anyway.

Go read it for yourself!

So that means you can rip him all you want, Seawolf? I apologize I did not keep score of everything, but ganging up to attack a 70 something year old on a forum, when he is brutally truthful and outspoken in his beliefs, doesn't reflect on his character.

I know more than a few old codgers that love to upset the apple cart. I've even met a few who sold apples off the apple cart.

Come to think of it, if I had a pair of Hartsfields, a Transcriptor TT, a Marantz 7C, 10B, a Mac MC275, and a Revox A77(I do hope this is right) that would be my primary system - no matter what I had.

WE try to be nice, and talk audio with him. He asks a question, we answer, he then tells us why WE ARE ALL wrong. And WHY ONLY HE is right. Conversation? No, more like he tries to give a didactic lecture.

It's nice speakers from a wonderful era in time, YES! Are they superior to anything we can and do make today? No.

We do not know his age, only that he speaks in a condescending manner to us!

Oh, and FWIW, constant statements about what the monetary worth and value of your possessions are, doesn't usually win friends, not here or anywhere.

Ya know?

[scott fitlin]

Not only that! I closed his first thread on this forum. I closed his second thread, and IF THIS THREAD becomes too much, I will close this one too!

And, believe it or not, More than 1 had asked his that threads to be closed, previously. Not because of what he speaks on audio, and what he feels is the best, only because of his demeanor and attitude.

ANYBODY is welcome on this forum, to talk audio, share what they have, like, don't like, want, believe in, etc!

But, if what you enjoy doing is antagonizing, and causing conflamadrama, :dont-know

Another voice from Saint Lousy that just doesn't get it.

I'm now embarrassed by the locale of my heritage!

1145 Hampton Park Drive. Fritz Marx house, constructed c. 1937. The house is L-shaped, with
an octagonal tower at an angle forming the entry band. It also has a semi-octagonal termination
of the south wing. The front door is segmental-arched with a wide ashlar surround. The
projecting right wing has a curving first-floor bay window. The left wing has grouped windows
with decorative brick spandrels arranged in diamond patterns. Many of the casement windows
have transoms.

...and it's older than Wolfie's Hartsfields!

It appears sir that you don't understand the meaning of counterpoint !
There is no need to agree or disagree but to offer a counterpoint.
It is you who many times has used the subjective terms " right and wrong " not I.

I have never in any of my post referred to my speakers as superior or my audio system as superior to anything !
I have never stated that anyone was right or wrong , only you has referred to right or wrong.

I have referred to the cost of items because it reflex's in many cases why
many audio manufactures either sold their company or went out of business.

I have stated many times that the pre1970 speakers were different and that music was different.

Go back and revisit my post and you will find it is "YOU" and your amateur
analysis that was the issue. I have tried to ignore your analysis .

Finally "We are all wrong " How did you draw that conclusion ? when did I post that ? I counterd yours and others point. I repeatly posted that I disagreed with you and others but respected yours and others opinions !


This I thought was a forum in which different views were expressed ,
the subject audio ,JBL products the items.
It appears I was wrong , very wrong !

For a 70 something year old, you got some spunk, though! I give you this!

Wolf, don't you have some foxy 66 year old foxy ladies to converse and party with? Gotta be a lot more fun than coming after me, dude! Especially now that WE have viagra, I mean Pre '70,s, well, ya know!

[JBL 4645]

Something has been bothering me days now. It’s the quality of the picture as if I’ve seen this somewhere else before, but can’t quite place where, and the ornament?

[scott fitlin]

What do you mean, 4645? Are you trying to say that the picture Wolf uses looks like it was lifted from elsewhere?

Have you checked OUR library to make sure it isn't one that came from there?

scotty
More or less yes why otherwise would I say that? How about a few more pictures to prove I’m a total ass of total paranoia. LOL wolf get in the picture with them. I’ve often got in the picture on mine, no shame if you’re a bit overweight like I am.

I’m looking though Google image as I have seen that ornament before somewhere?

Hey Wolf, how 'bout a picture of YOU standing proudly besides your classic Hartsfield?

I responded your your post. That sir is what is referred to as a counterpoint ! As for as your reply to my counterpoint I will let it stand.

The issue as I see it is audio , lansing Heritage , not you and I. My post or directed toward the entire forum. When I respond to a post it is not just to that pont but to the entire forum.

I thought I could share with others on this forum my hobby , audio.
The questions I asked was questions that had been asked and discussed
for years, there really is not any correct answers.

But opinions , shared opinions. Example which do you prefer transistors or tubes ? an age old discussion. Not right or wrong. One offers their point and than others counterpoints.
We can agree to disagree.

YOU CAN SHARE YOUR VIEWS AND BELIEFS AUDIO HERE WOLFIE!

Tubes vs transistors, I will get in that one, I have some definite opinion about that too. Some of my views mirror yours, and some don't.

But, lets keep the tubes and transistors in that thread, ok! Now, what about a picture of you and your Hartsfield?

What are you interested in style or fashion in dresswhen posing ? After all this is a Lansing forum. Some of the forum members will be attending an audio get together in a week or two in St.Louis , I have been invited. it should prove interesting.

I dress slick, but not flashy. I wear a lot of black clothing, and also bright colors, too, but well coordinated. I wear earrings, both ears, more than 1 hoop per ear, have a well groomed appearance but in todays fashion. I do happen to like and have many, Italian crew neck cashmere pullover sweaters.

I can't make it to St. louis, have work to complete, and begin my operating season!
