I'm here for the sharing, not the snobery
Mahgister (did I mention this, but can I call you Louie?), good points. And I got to agree that my Linguistics professors were probably just having a bit of sport with the more uptight students.I understand.... But i could not resist to answer to your post because linguistic study was for me an illumination.... 😊😊😊😊 my deepest regards to you... |
vladtheimpala -- back when I was in grad school getting an M.A. in Linguistics (a pursuit that took me absolutely nowhere BTW), i guess that this impression about linguistic study is related more about the teachers you had than about the field itself.... For sure "orthograph" hide deepest secrets than we could ever dream of.... In linguistic all consciousness history hide for example in the historical use of some consonant or not in a word.... And the use/meaning ratio transformation of the words in centuries is like a carrot in geological strata of the conscious mind evolution.... It is boosting our own I.Q. with some potent drug.... I suggest: Owen Barfield : "history in english words" to have a clue... https://www.amazon.com/History-English-Words-Owen-Barfield-ebook/dp/B008RLXELG One of my geatest experience in life was linguistic studies, among others studies, and with a great unknown master in the English world: Gustave Guillaume...hIs works are huge and is now in the course of publication in frencch and amount around 40 volumes for now.... His morphologetical dynamic studies about words are like boosting your I.Q. with LSD... |
Case in point, @mahgister’s system. Take a look at it. It works for him. I can’t argue the objectivity of that.You cannot look at it.... The photo are too old and my dedicated audio room laboratory is "nuttier " than you think... My " mechanical equalizer" for example include discarded tubes and pipes and straws and empty toilet roll papers ...And it is impossible for me to take a photo of all that...( light is not very good and all is distributed along the room) Believe me it is nut.... But believe me my basic audio system could prove to anyone here at peanuts price that embeddings controls is almost EVERYTHING in audio...My system is not the best to say the least compared to most here.... But it is one of the best there is on earth for the ratio quality/price...500 bucks.... And which one of you control all acoustic concepts: imaging, soundstage, listener envelopment, source width, AT WILL with no electronic gear, costly "tweaks" or equalizer? Who? No one.... Save me, sorry to be immodest here with only some psychoacoustic basic facts among others.... At no cost....Then.... Look at my room but dont laugh too much.... Last laugh is for me when i see any audio system and after that his price tag and his sound on youtube sometimes... I am not deaf even if 70 years old...Not at my best but owning old "donkey" very long ears.... 😊😊😊😊😊 I sell creativity not products... |
In anything there are two side for any coin... It is simpler and deeper to recognize this fact... Arguing after that is less attack and more complementarity... Anyway most audio engineers are also artists for example... Then all arguing about something comes less from being right than being forfgetful of something... Save for being patently wrong or very "forgetful" here like thinking that for example "absorbing all reflections" is always good for acoustic impression... Because some reflections are in fact and in truth good for the acoustical timing threshold control.... This is a fact....one side coin? No the coin is acoustic here, not only the reflection concept... Then seeing two sides is possible if we look the encompassing perspective and not the details only... it is more easy to love someone than hating it....Generally.... But for some case being "Christlike" is mandatory.... And anyway it is mandatory to become Buddah or Christlike....No choices here.... 😊 «Give me your popsicle please and you will be Christlike»-Groucho Marx |
