[Predator question...]

I absolutely agree that in certain ways, this place is just as bad as HF. Just take a look at that thread here where the guy askes for our opinion of his amps. He blatantly says "I have only heard RSA products" and just a day or two ago comes in to say he has seen the light. What light? You still have not heard another amp. He is just getting his info from the rest of us, and taking it as the absolute truth.

However, I have also experienced here, the idea of "Hey if you like it, then so be it. You are still a MOT, douchbag, asshole, but at least you can think on your own."

If you're talking about me ("truth about my amps thread"), you must have read another thread

I also got a Corda Aria, and have heard other HOME amps, but not other portables. And in general i was curious about the technical sophistication of my amps.

And as far as i know, i've never "seen the light" wtf.....

absolute truth? i think you really should read the thread again....

If it's not me, i haven't said anything

Saw the Foo Fighters on Thursday.

Was a real blast, by all means

As of today my home is RSA-free

Mini cubed, here i come!

[There's Something Disturbing About Ultrasone...]

I really like that thread title

There are really some "strange" persons rumbling in the "original thread" over at the other forum, starting with the thread starter himself.

Talking about shilling and viral marketing between members to the extreme...

Ah, the envy

[Half Life 2: Portal]

I played it through and liked it very much. Too bad it was so short. The ending was great. Very recommended PC game definitely.

What I liked most was the background story it had. It reminded me of the movie Cube ( http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0123755/ ). Anyone seen this movie and have same thoughts?

Yeah, reminded me too of Cube.

But i only liked the first part, the others were soso.....

[The truth about my amps.....?]

I think as soon as i sold the Hornet, i'll try a mini?.

I found a local guy who builds them for a good price.

And he's currently on his first ?22, so for the future....

[Half Life 2: Portal]

I had fun playing it. Such a shame it's so short though.

yeah, it really is shame. but i do hope that there will be new levels by the community soon...

[The truth about my amps.....?]

First of, i'd take a honest answer, and may it sound strong 10x over an "every-thread-is-an-appretiation-thread" answer over at headfi, so thanks for all opinions!

Why did i buy the Hornet? Basically because of the praise over at the "other site", so in retrospective brainwash fits the bill pretty good.....

And as i'm based in Europe it's always hard to score something good at the headfi "for sale" forum (i only bought used till now, money is tight...), since many won't ship to Europe.

So one day the Hornet popped up in the FS forum, europe based, very decent price, and i bought it. I rather wanted a Xin amp (Macro or Micro), but there were none at the time so i thought: "There so many good opinions about, so why not..."

And of course JB is right: I only can learn by hearing it myself (for all i know you could be all mental assholes round here as well )

I think i will take a good look at the DIY options out there.

[The truth about my amps.....?]

heh wow, you need someone to tell you if your amp is good? Can't you form your own opinion? Long story short, it's overpriced and cute looking... if it were a fire hazard, i'm sure you would've read about it by now. people here are very opinionated, and asking for an unbiased opinion here is just as bad as headfi, in a negative way. No one is going to say they like that map here really, except for like billy.

The thing is just, that i have no possibility of comparing it to other gear. And as i already said, i only can say that the Hornet isn?t near as good as the Aria.

And after reading many comments here about "Ray?s business model" i just became even more curious, about what?s the Hornet for real.

So it?s more about curiousity where my gear is placed in the "greater scheme", since i never had the possibility of hearing anything else. :-/

[The truth about my amps.....?]

Hi,

After scaring the shit out of me (as someone coming from headfi, many of the topics here are very "enlightning"....), you gotta tell me "the truth" about my amps ;-)

I have a RSA Hornet, and although i`ve never quite got all the fuzz about it over at headfi, i thought it was ok (i have to add, that i did buy it used for a very good price. The retail price always seemed crazy to me...), some of the comments here about RSA products in general caught my eye: "Safety hazard, errors in the layout, a.s.o".

So what?s the truth about the Hornet? What are his faults? Where does it stand performancewise for real?

My home amp is the Corda Aria. I always liked it a lot (much better than the Hornet), but couldn?t find much about it here. So what?s the verdict about it ?round here?

Since i bought both of them after research over on headfi (no chance to audition other gear before buying where i live sadly...), and after surfing here for while (and learning a lot about the "real headfi", i really like to hear the opinions of people here! )
