Hay, you guys and gals are getting close.

Quote: “A PRO player can't admit to liking a "lowly" home player instrument. Funny I stupidly bought a Roland VA7 as a second keyboard. (Now trying to sell it) I hear them brag on the wonderful sounds while knocking the KN sounds. I hear the opposite myself.”

Marilyn, nothing wrong with your ears. As you say, ‘I hear them brag’ . Who is them? I take it you mean the self appointed PRO player. I agree with that. I know they are PRO’s because if you don’t believe it, just ask them. In fact they will offer that bit of information on every post they make with out even asking them. PRO must be an abbreviation for something. Reading what they say about their boards and what they say about our home keyboards gives me a clue as to why they call themselves PRO people. PRO = ‘Pretty Rotten Opinions’. Or, ‘Poor Reputable Observations’. Come on guys, let’s give Marilyn a hand and see if we can dig up one of these PRO people so she can dump this VA7 thing.

Now, now Johnnie.c, your getting close to the root. As the old saying goes, “The truth hurts”. Just like a bad tooth, when the drilling for the answer to the problem gets close to the root or truth of the cause it starts to hurt. When it starts to hurt real bad then the screaming starts. I believe I am already hearing some huffing and puffing. I give you both a lot of credit for saying it like it is. Johnnie you got it pretty well nailed. I’m sure others have ideas on this phenomena as Art expresses it - It sometimes seems they just choke on the word Technics. I wonder why this is such a mountain to climb for so many. Don’t be bashful guys and gals, tell it like you see it. Once you bring something out into to open and air it out the stink blows away and it smells fresh and clean once again. Wouldn’t that be be nice Art? This forum becomes beautiful again? Kind of like Ruthie. She hangs her clothes out in the light of the sun and the caressing of the breeze. She gathers them in after a while and then says to me, ‘Don’t they smell so fresh again”? Then I say, ‘Ruth your so sweet, they sure do’.

Just the way I see it.
