Default fathoming the black hole of know-nothingness

I really enjoyed this post from a bitter dimwit who has not seen my DVD
and so has no idea what is on it, yet feels qualified to "review" it.
And yes, I do guarantee that when you're finished watching you will be
able to set up a turntable. As to why I recommend starting with a cheap
cartridge, only an imbecile like you wouldn't be able to figure out
why. Perhaps you'd prefer the services of an inexperienced brain
surgeon for the procedure your obviously miniature one requires.


As for the cost. I put my own money up. It cost me a lot of money.
Clearly, you don't understand the difference between "Lord of the
Rings" and an instructional DVD that will appeal to a relatively small
audience and the economics involved. Clearly you understand very little
in general.


Well, he is a 'borg, after all. All 'borgs make purchasing decisions using
the single criterion of price. Not performance value, not market value,
not resale value -- just plain price.


Another way of looking at this issue is to compare the cost of the
instructional DVD to how much money one invests in a turntable. Not
necessarily high-end tables costing more than a grand, but the budget
tables that deliver good sound and cost in the hundreds. It's also bizarre
that Can'tFathomBorg has too much free time to put a value on it. In the
real world of Normals, time invested in learning a skill usually yields a
greater return in value. Turntables are not plug-and-play like digital
equipment, so an investment of time, or money to hire an expert, is a
requirement.
