Can you guys start talking about me the way you talk about Alan? I really need the publicity. I need web buddies. Chessrock, can I count on you? I know Dot would be my web buddy (good and loyal friend that he's been to me). Harvey, will you? Acorec?

I can be the mediator and peacemaker by bringing web buddies of diverse beliefs together.

Can I be one of your web buddies too... I like the B1 as much as Harvey likes the AKG C1000S. :) :D :)
 
Frankly, DJL, there is a difference. Harvey doesn't like the C1000 because it's really not a good mic. You don't like the SP B1 because you don't like Alan. The B1 is an outstanding value, a well constructed mic at an incredibly low price. I own one and use it all the time. I've opened it and was amazed at the build quality. I've also used and opened a lot of other budget mics and I've yet to see one that's better constructed. No, I don't work for PMI. Do you know a better mic at the same price or less?

I don't like the B1 or the C1000S for the same reasons and none of them have anything to do with Alan... as far as I'm concerned, the C1000S and B1 could be brother and sister... and they both suck. I'm not saying there may not ever be a time and place where the B1 or C1000S might be the ticket, for example... I think the B1 can sound ok on some guitar amps, and the C1000S can sound ok on some toms... but, on most other stuff they suck. As for Alan, I really don't know that much about him... I know he sells imported Chinese made mics and some other stuff... but, I've never seen his name on any records or anything... I can't hate someone I don't even know or really know anything about. It's true that I and Alan have gone a few rounds on this bbs in the past but, I don't hate him and as I've already stated, I'm willing to give him a second chance. But my opinion about the B1 and C1000S is still the same.

I've heard him compared to Leo Fender. And most recently, now, to BB King.

No shit, wow... in that case, I'd like to hear Alan play guitar.

Like him, or not, he is making a name for himself and apparently building a fine line of products. Having him compared to Leo Fender and BB King is a good thing as his mics are compared to Neuman. Not a bad track record for a guy who only started out a short time ago. If I were him, I would be here on this BBS every day. He only sells MORE product each time he is flamed to death. I often wonder if it is part of his plan. Everyone loves the ones who are kicked down. Would'nt it be funny if he were much smarter that people thought?
 
Phil Spector SHOULD be given a great deal of respect in a recording forum, if he's come here to share his knowledge. I know I wouldn't start ragging on him about the charges to a situation where I don't know all the facts, and I'd be dismayed that some people might focus on that, to the exclusion of things I might learn about producing from him.

True story:

When David Crosby was in the Les Baxter Balladeers, I knew him and I thought he had a great voice and felt he was one of the best rhythm guitar players I'd ever heard.

After he joined the Byrds, he turned into one of the most insufferable, egotistical people you'd ever have the misfortune to meet. One time I saw him walking down the street, coming towards me. I actually turned and crossed over to the other side to avoid contact with him.

But, during that whole period he was being an asshole (now self-admittedly), when people specifically asked me what I thought of his singing and playing, I told them that I thought he had a great voice and felt he was one of the best rhythm guitar players I'd ever heard. I didn't bring up his being an asshole since that wasn't what they were asking about.

O.J. and Phil may indeed be lousy people, but if I'm talking football or producing, I would certainly listen with rapt attention and respect for what those two people accomplished in those fields. Especially if everybody else was also talking specifically about football or producing. It's not my job in life to be the defender of moral rightiousnous and pass judgement on them.

I think our differences are primarily generational. If I find someone distasteful to me for any reason, I simply try to avoid talking to them - about anything.

I don't think we really disagree as much as we think we do. When I was talking about Phil, by the way, I was basically raising a purely hypothetical scenario.

And I've already said that I'll respect someone's accomplishments to no end, whether they're despicable people or not. But do their accomplishments give them the right to be despicable people? Does the fact that O.J. was a great runner excuse him from paying for his crime?

And does the fact that Alan markets/distributes a few decent mics excuse him from following the rules set in place in a discussion forum like this? And even if he didn't outright break the rules, does it automatically make it wrong to question the way he tries to test the rules?

I don't think it does. Rules are rules . . . whether you're making a mic, playing Rock & Roll, producing or if you're a touchdown machine. And even if you're not breaking the rules and just being an asshole -- you still have to pay the price; you obviously made DC pay the price by avoiding him like the plague. :D That was your way of silently protesting. Others just do it a little louder.
 
Newsflash . . . This just in from the Homerecording BBS Department of the Painfully and Blatantly Obvious:

Justin Timberlake, or Justin Hyatt?:confused:
 
Hmmm. I don't think Justin Hyatt's even seen a boob yet, do you? :D :D

I'M "More Cowbell" (hence, the title).

Matty hasn't decided yet.

You're easily confused, aren't you?
