Oh no

Another pissin' contest!

I found it amusing, BTW, with Kingfrog using top studio pros as an example to bolster his point... Of course, when anyone does that on a point that he disagrees with, he then completely dismisses their relevance...

So make up your mind, oh mighty King... Is what they use of any importance or not? Trust me on this one, I've seen PLENTY of top engineers buy gear on the recommendation of others. Do you think they have time to go out and listen in a store to this stuff (where you can't hear a damn thing anyway for all the $99 guitar rig wannabes butchering the latest Shinedown epic )?

Unlike you, they actually have some respect for other trusted pros. Someone with ears says the latest Manley compressor is DA BOMB! They go out and get one...

Remember this the next time you dismiss someone for using fancier gear than you (or even the next time you diss someone for using gear LESS fancy than you! Come to think of it, you really don't have much respect for anyone unless they have the SAME gear as you... do you? )
