Gee, Todd:
I agree with Duane, and I agree with most of what you related.
The exception would be calling the R390 a "non A". I call my R390 a non A
because (it seems) that most people think of only one receiver when R390 is
mentioned, and that would be the R390A.
Now, I'm not talking about people who own, or have used the R390*.*, I'm
refering to those who have only a minor knowledge of the ("the" being the
"A") '390.
I've encountered numbers of people, over a many year period, that had no
idea that there was a R390, non A. I actually got into something of an
arguement recently, on one of the audio reflectors I'm a member of, with a
fellow that simply would not believe there was an older version of the
R390A.
I told him to go do a "Google" on the subject. He did, and returned a much
more peacefull fellow.
Anyway, I've never considered my reference language to be an "affectation"!
Still don't! The distinction between the two R390s isn't quite as distinct
as "small-block" or "big-block", or black and white.
I think my reasoning is . . .well, reasonable.
And, I still love my all Collins R390/URR!
