No mention of Carroll Shelby passing?

Ghosthouse, I'd like to abolish the word 'best' from these forums forever. Every frickin' day someone is asking "what is the best dac?" "What is the best power cord?" "What is the best amp?"

There is NO BEST!!! There, I said it, now I feel better.

Elizabeth who???????

I admire anyone who was an innovator/pioneer in their field, whether their field was audio or any other, and Carroll Shelby certainly fits that definition. When able, I've driven sports cars since I was 23 (my first Fiat X1/9) including my current Honda S2000, and my autos have given me as much pleasure as my audio equipment. Carroll Shelby was a visionary, and thus should be afforded a position equal to Henry Kloss or any of our audio heroes. We all benefit from advancement of our chosen arenas of interest. We are blessed to follow in the footsteps of giants.

Not being into cigars, liquor, or cars, I would have more expected someone to note the passing of Owsley "Bear" Stanley last March on this site than some car guy. (Yes, I know who he was.)

Being interested in audio equipment or music doesn't necessarily relate to your or my other interests.

jmc - I'm with you on "the best" but "typical" is the word that really makes me crazy (not that I need that much help).

Ncarv,

Didn't know that, thanks for the info.

Best,

Dave
