What about feedin' the chickens? The rooster is the only light bulb according to him. HE tells the sun to come up. Not the sun tellin' the roster to crow..
Same roster 5 billion years or what ever we're are up to now.. It wasn't the chicken or the egg, it was the rooster, period.
Everyone knows God made the first hen from a rosters rib. :-)
Maybe we should first question that human made light has no extended high or low frequencies, limited dynamic range, overly focused & doesn’t image well?
Incandescent , fluorescent, halogen, xenon, LCD, LED etc all have their strengths & weaknesses but nothing compares to the look & feel of pure, natural sunlight even when it’s 8 minutes old.
Because if you read any threads on the audio topics in the title, you'll see so many posts that do the same thing, rather than raise the conversation. Perhaps a quick self-depreciating look at ourselves might lead to more insightful discussions about audio and less bitching about light bulbs. Cheers,
