Maybe it's a simple matter of the source of the criticism ?


There are ways of making a point without alienating folks . There are clear short comings on the T5 as there are in any keyboard .Chony has pointed them out regarding the voice creation omission ,the incomplete audio loop function etc . I have pointed out the unfortunate omission of an onboard sequencer and the main reason I cannot as much as I would love to buy a T1234 or 5. And there have been many others . But the criticisms were not done in such a way as to infer the product was any less incredible because of its perceived or actual short comings or that the owner showed poor judgement by spending their own money on a product that did not meet your exact standards ( not that any product does ) . There is a reason why folks respond in a particularly defensive way when you post pretty much any criticism justified or not .

If You can't genuinely understand why the rabid reaction ,I hope this post helps.

Well said Spalding, and points expressed politely and with more than a touch of class.

Experts in the art of communication say that the way you convey a message is important at least as the message itself.
Common mistakes to avoid are:
1- Being long winded and repeating the same concept/opinion over and over: this bores the reader and averts his/her attention.
2- Getting personal or hurting personal feelings: this elicits a defensive response and reduces the efficiency of the communication almost to zero.
There would be more things to say, but then I would become long winded...

Ian ... I paid $1500 (USD) for my kn1000 in 1992 (which my grandson is now using ), and a little under $3000 for the kn6000 in 2000, and technics was way ahead of the curve at that time ... If technics were still manufacturing AKs, I would expect their TOTL to be in the same price range as the T5 ...




That's YOUR battle to fight, Steve ... but I will try not to mention it when we have dinner ...
