Hi George - While I appreciate and respect your take... your analogy
falls a wee bit short of the mark. ;-)
If I showered my young bride with vanilla instead of chocolate on
Valentine's Day ... well, let's just say I would start sleeping in the
garage forthwith ...
Nevertheless, I appreciate your point, and recently tried out a Brand X
rig and sold it off... because I purchased a MINT Orion II for less than
the cost of an Omni VII - which I also own - so I echo Barry's
suggestion to consider a well loved O II - I would have to spend a lot
more on an equivalent K3, and except for the fabled third order
intercept dynamic range thing, the Omni VII is way cooler than either
the K3 or my former Brand X box. The TT gear has better audio, and
substantially easier "modus operandi" - I really think I can find and
change settings on the Omni VII way faster than on the Brand x boxes...
and that might matter in a contest or when quickly working rare DX
before the pileup ensues.
Just MY take. But... as you suggest... it is all good. Just a matter
of what works for one may not work as well for another.
Happy days, OM.
