"Arfa Daily = MORON "


their case would have been helped by testament from the likes of
Hendrix,

** You are rewording my post - leave it ALONE !!!


I wasn't rewording it - I was re-quoting it to actually AGREE with you,


** Those are NOT my words, that is NOT what I posted and NOT what I think.

You stinking pommy ****HEAD !!


Hendrix used Marshalls on stage, AFAIK that is all he did.


What, he didn't play through them ?

** FFS - you bloody IDIOT !!!

What does the word " used " imply ?????????????

My GOD you are a stinking pommy ****HEAD !!




Marshall Amplification has been in business for some 50 years, and I
don't care how much they have 'created' a name for themselves, if the
equipment was as poor as you believe, they would not have survived in
such a competitive and limited specialist market.

** You ****wit opinion - contrary to all the facts.


I know that we'll probably never agree on this Phil, but I have no axe
to grind here, nor any particular allegiance to the Marshall company,
other than that their products keep earning me a living - but then so do
Fender and Trashdown and Soldano and many others.

** So you have NEVER worked out why Marshalls blow EL34 valves and OTs
all the time ?

When the most other brands do not.


I just thought it appropriate to comment here amongst fellow engineers,
on the passing of someone who has been instrumental in keeping valve
technology alive in this equipment,

** That is where you are 100% wrong.

Jim Marshall never had anything to do with the electronics design of amps
sold under his name.


Read what I said. Did I ever say that he had anything to do with physical
design ? He owned and ran the company. He was an iconic figure well known
throughout the world of musical amplification. His company, under his
leadership, continued to build valve amplifiers. Ergo, he was instrumental
in keeping the technology alive (through his company)

Manufacture has been carried out by others since 1980s with Jim only
acting as a figure head for marketing purposes.

Of course that's the case.


** Which COMPLETELY destroys all your asinine points.

You stinking pommy ****HEAD !!


He owns the ****ing company for Christ's sake.


** He sold control of Marshall Amplification in the 1980s and remained only
in a figure head role.


Jim has been to Sydney once or twice and in the early 80s was a guest
speaker at a music gear convention. Before Jim spoke, the MD advised the
audience that there were to be NO questions about the famous
unreliability of Marshalls cos Jim was not personally involved in their
manufacture.

And the point is ??


** Backs up everything I said.

You stinking pommy ****HEAD !!
