OT - Everything is perfect
Pinkie - Breakfast up, eh?
Mrs. P - Now, put that model aeroplane away and wash your hands. You look a bit peaky, if I may say so. Have you been on that newsgroup again? Pinkie - They just don't understand - I have to make them understand, it's my mission. It's all about acoustical transparency. They just don't see that in 2004 everything is perfect from mic to speaker. It's all perfect. Perfect. Mrs. P - That man with the frogs, you mean? Has he been annoying you again? Pinkie - Everything has been solved. Amplifiers all sound the same. It's all acoustically transparent from start to finish. From start to finish - acoustically transparent. Mrs. P - You've got some egg on your face, just under your left nostril. No the other side - that's your right nostril. There. That's better. Pinkie - Jim's got the right idea - data, data, data - everything is data. Mrs. P - Ooh look! There's a robin on the lawn. My God - there's a cat after it! Pinkie - In the intimacy of our own home, dearest, you may call me "My Hero"! Mrs. P - Ah that's better, the cat's gone away. Pinkie - They just don't understand me - my passion, my leadership qualities, my importance in the scheme of things. If they'd been there when I won the Second World War single handed with my Spitfire they'd know they were dealing with a real man. They're wimps, all wimps. Mrs. P - wash your hands and I'll come and help you with the crossword when I've done the washing up.

Andy, that was a hoot and right on the money - if you meant to infer Pinky's Spitfire was only about 6 inches long, that is! (He plays with 'model planes' apparently!! :-) The amusing thing is that one or two of us have imbued him (offlist) in the past with a 'fat, psychotic wife' and, I have to say, it's kinda ****ed up my enjoyment of the PF 'The Wall' DVDV that I've got!! :-) Anyway, I think I'm about done with the clown and it would be good (but not *vital*....) to know that one or two others have also finally got fed up with his never-ending bull****. The very idea that valves and vinyl have no place in an 'audio' newsgroup simply beggars belief. The suggestion that anyone in the UK who enjoys/uses either or both should **** off to a predominently US-centric group to discuss valves is the kind of towering arrogance that, frankly, saddens me to see go unchallenged here for so much of the time. Best of all is that the suggestion that valve (and/or vinyl) users perform some public Act Of Contrition and 'admit their heresy' and all will be forgiven and they will be 'permitted' to discuss either topic if the 'follow the rules'!!! Fekkin' priceless!!! Every hobbyist group or organisation has got a **** like Pinky - when I got into pistol shooting a few years ago, there was a dip**** called 'Prof' (wot else?) who could yap anyone off the table with his 'knowledge' - muzzle velocities, trajectories, terminal velocities, muzzle energy, terminal energy, copper units of pressure, bullet weights, etc. etc. Guess what? - He wouldn't have been able to hit the side of a barn if he was standing inside it! (I don't know how many times I have been reminded of that ****!) There are 3 things mentioned in the Charter for this group as 'off limits': Measurements vs. 'listening' arguments. Valves vs. solid state arguments. Analogue vs. 'digital' arguments. Guess who's got nothing else in his 'armoury'....?? Guess who *never* makes an original/interesting statement or posts anything other than 'replies'....?? Need I say more? ;-) |

(I don't know how many times I have been reminded of that ****!) Actually, the best pistol shot I ever met was a surgeon in Tucson, Arizona. He favoured the Colt 1911, and the club had a target on the wall which he had shot. At 25 yards, he had clipped out a perfect 6" circle with a .45 ACP deckled edge! Interesting guy, always shot in bare feet for better stability. I always wondered if he'd shout "halt" to a real opponent, while he took off his shoes............... There are 3 things mentioned in the Charter for this group as 'off limits': Measurements vs. 'listening' arguments. Valves vs. solid state arguments. Analogue vs. 'digital' arguments. Guess who's got nothing else in his 'armoury'....?? That would be you, would it not? I always use listening tests as the final arbiter of excellence, I always acknowledge that there are a few excellent valve amps around, and I like the sound of analogue artifacts, while understanding that they *are* artifacts. Got any *real* arguments to offer, just this once? Guess who *never* makes an original/interesting statement or posts anything other than 'replies'....?? Need I say more? How about something with some substance? -- Stewart Pinkerton | Music is Art - Audio is Engineering |

Really? Why is that then, Pinkerton? (Walk away? Me? That *would* be a first... ;-) If you want a little 'get-out' before your pudgy little fingertips start writing a cheque your arse can't cash (again), rest assured we trust that your wife isn't actually fat or psychotic - it just goes with the 'image', IYSWIM.
