While I am grateful to the members who have (once again) been complimentary about our P100, it is true that there is no real comparison between that and the Master Blaster unit. The latter is, as has been said, a background noise generator while P100 is a 'sounds on demand' device which can be controlled from the transmitter. If you want the sound of a pipe band or a jazz band playing, or wall-to-wall seagulls then buy a Master Blaster. If you want a lifeboat engine sound with startup and throttle variation then that unit won't do the job. Horses for courses.
I should point out, for anyone who's in any doubt, that trade members of the forum have no more influence on the moderators than any other member. Furthermore, if a complaint is found unjustified then the moderators are at liberty to leave the post in questiion as it stands. I don't view a debate which concerns the merits of ACTion products vs any other manufacturer's units as my province - unless and until something is said which is technically incorrect or, as in this case, personally offensive.
I'd like to wish Mark Thatcher well with his enterprise and look forward to seeing him at a future show. There's room in this hobby for all - except perhaps those who have an alternative agenda e.g. to poison reputations and trash products for their own perverse pleasure.
