I looked through his post history and his name is Vince, so I assumed they are the same person?


--- Quote --- he doesn't like the newer integrated chip "black face crap".

Do you have an example of what you mean by this? Sorry I'm sorta new to audio electronics in general and wonder what you mean.

Thanks again guys for your help!

EmperorNorton:
I will chime in here. 

There are absolutely two Vinces.  One  is the moderator here and the other runs Galaxie Electronics.   
"black faced crap" is a somewhat pejorative term used to describe the styling of much consumer grade audio gear manufactured in the 80s and beyond.   
It was the design syle that replaced the classic 60'/70's silver faced/ wood cabinets of the Pioneer/ Yamaha/Marantz equipment, to give a few examples. 

Welcome aboard, by the way!!

I've always heard it as black plastic crap or simply BPC.

I believe you are correct...black face is a whole different realm we don't need to talk about.
