aristoteles666: tulee itse asiassa mieleen vanhasta guitar playeristä testi jossa testattiin kalliita (matchless ym ym) vahvistimia ja DR Z valitti ettei hänen vahvistin ollut mukana, että se olisi pessyt kaikki testissä olleet, mutta hän ei anna niitä testiin vaan niiden pitää ostaa se.
 
Muistan tuon tarinan myös. Hauska. Ja jossain määrin pelottava. Paitsi että se ei ollut Dr Z vaan Paul Zahorosky/Rosk. Kivahan näille on naureskella niin kauan kuin faktat tukee niitä edes siteeksi.
 
Tätä joutui hetken tietenkin googlaamaan. Ekalla arvauksella "guitar player shootout letter" nimi löytyi vasta toiselta sivulta. Nimellä löytyi sitten tämä:
 
Rosk SBA50 MKI ($975)

Paul Zahorosky was an unkown entity in these parts until he emerged with guns blazing after out December '92 100watt combo amp shootout. Irked by some of our opinions, Paul told us, "Keep your so-called 'expert' evaluations out of your magazine. You're just emphasizing your stupidity." Saving a few hollowpoints for other targets, Paul blasted Kendrick amps as "overpriced hype" and blew away Crate as "obvious garbage." Referring to his own amps, Zahorosky crowed, "My top-of-the-line 50watt head blows those Kendrick and Rivera amps out of the water, performance- and price-wise. When you guys are ready to evaluate a real tube amp, let me know." Boy, the things people will do for attention. We're always suckers for something new, though, so we requested a Rosk for review. "I don't send anything our for free," snarled Zahorosky. "If you want one, you're going to have to buy it." So, we sent a check. Paul promptly returned it, explaining the price had gone up $10 (hey, every little bit counts). We sent out another check, and bingo! Nearly a grand later, here sits our shiny new SBA 50.
