**And yet, this whole series of nonsense began, with you acting like a
complete prat, by pedantically picking up one of my grammatical errors.
Can you begin to see how your own pedantry is at issue here, not your
education?


:-)

(You're still going on about it and *I'm* the pedant.....???? :-)




Now, I have to say it, your ultra correct, trying too hard 'prickspeak'
just makes you look like a pathetic **** trying desperately hard to
impress.

**I am not trying to impress anyone. I have always written this way.


Oh well, never mind then.....



Google me, if you don't beleive me.


Oops, there's a crumb on your chin...

:-)



Take
a tip from me, cut the crap, lighten up and stop trying to pull people up
who have **** more fekkin' grammar than you'll ever know and making
yourself look a right **** in the process whilst so doing. OK?

**As opposed to a prat who drops Latin phrases at the drop of a hat?


The prat in a hat? Dr Seuss, wasn't it?

(A bit like you - given a sackful of words and told to use them all in a
story for kids, no matter what ******** it ended up....???)


Yeah, right. I'll really take notice of you.


You seem quite unable to leave my posts unanswered, actually....


I can just imagine how well your Latin goes down, when speaking to the
blokes down at the local, or at the footy.


Local? Footy?

Anybody knoe that of which this poor fule doth speke...??

(Is he an antipodean chav or summat...??? ;-)



**You may suggest that. That is your right to do so. When I have
professed my non-understanding of particular words or phrases, I ask.
Usually, the answer is short and polite. In any case, Keith chose some
obscure, dead language to make a point, the other day.


I did? (Summat in Latin then, woz it?)

**That would be it.



Hardly common words in the UK, I should think.


Er, I got news for you mister - Latin is used throughout this sceptic
isle on a daily basis, even if those doing so are blissfully unaware of
it....

**And here too. My partner teaches me the **** every day (she's rather
fond of botany). It's still a dead language.


Too crass to to mention....




Common, for those who went to schools which teach (taught) those same
dead (and useless) languages, however.


Dead and useless??? Hmm...

**Yep and yep.


Timendi causa est nescire...???


(Hint: Google it, you fick Ozzie ****.......)

I'd settle for simply being able to demonstrate that the effect is
audible in DBTs by those who claim to hear it.

DBTs do not take into account psycho-acoustics.

Say what?

DBTs are widely used to evaluate equipment that only works because of
psychoacoustics.

Dunno about in this thread. However I think I've commented to the
following
effect a number of times in the past:

That in most domestic audio systems the departures from 'flat' of the
frequency response and distortion levels produced by the loudspeakers and
the room acoustic are such that I'd suspect they are much greater than the
frequency response departures and distortion contributions of many
amplifiers.

However my personal response to that is to worry more about speakers and
rooms, and less about amplifiers. :-)


Mine also.......

'Cos the point is, if you have to go and buy a *good* amp (when we are
told all ss amps over £300 qualify as 'good' ??)

**I never said anything of the kind. Moreover, I don't beleive that anyone
ever said anything like that.

Oh yes they did - it wuz Pinkypoof.


More typical ******** from the hairy-arsed ex-trucker. I never said
any such thing, indeed I'll point you to Tim de Paravicini's
solid-state version of his Yoshino, which is a *very* bad amp, and
costs lots more than £300.

why is it "bad"?

- it isn't a wire with gain?
- lots of audible distortion?
- it "sounds" like a valve amp?

All of the above.

so a SS amp can be designed to sound like a valve amp?

To a certain extent, but you can't replicate the reverb without a
specific reverb generator.

I don't think anyone will argue that valves are old technology, but does
that as such have any bearing on anything ?

Are you suggesting that new is always better ?

Transistors aren't exactly state of the art either are they?

Er.... yes - they are actually. Unless you know of something more
advanced.

Heh heh! Another 'Magic Moment' from ' Maggot Mouth' - so ****ed up and so
fekkin' *wrong* as usual.... :-)

Hmm, I'm 57, 100% teetotal and don't do drugs other than 'normal' ciggies -
so how do I qualify then, eh, Captain Copout??

I think you need to try a little harder, remember what they say: "Diligentia
maximum etiam mediocris ingeni subsidium!"

(Still don't get it? Oh well - "Such is life!!" ;-)

Don't suppose you know who said that either, do you......???

Ho hum....

That puts Pinky out of the equation then eh?


Puts most here out the equation, one way or the other, if you ask me! ;-)
