NY Audio Show

Speaking of which this weekend is Chuctoberfest, held this year in Woodinville and Redmond, WA. Featuring Brandon's highly upgraded Tekton Pendragon XL and millercarbons even more upgraded Tekton Moabs we will also have a range of quality high end gear to enjoy. Join audiophiles from as far away as SoCal in this sure to be the greatest of all audio events this year! See the FB Tekton Owner's Group or PM for details!

Since this topic went about 90% political, where are the moderators??? I’ve had posts removed for a heck of a lot less.

Political discussions are allowed (encouraged) to go on forever, as long as it is mostly loopy liberal blather. That is okay. The minute someone clearly exposes the ideological underpinnings of their noxious views (ie, Marxism) some snowflake gets triggered and they shut it down in a heartbeat.

To give but one example, we were treated to days of discussions about the sublime sophistication of rap music. Every time I posted actual rap lyrics (the top ones are totally profane) the posts came down so fast it makes your head spin. It is okay to say racist music is sophisticated, it is okay to promote that. But show what it actually is? Can't have that! Gone!

It is okay to say how everyone should have to show proof of vaccination, a totalitarian police state position if ever there was one, that is okay. Point out clearly the ideology driving this view, something that would actually help people to understand the true nature of and want to support liberty and individualism, this we cannot abide.

It is all extraordinarily hypocritical, but in no way surprising. Monomaniacal dictators from Stalin on down have all known the best way to control a population is to use fear to get them to do the surveillance and enforcement on each other.

Mission accomplished.

Just one question soix, what exactly is it that government produces? 

You still haven't answered.

NY is one of the few states that pays more to the Federal Government than it takes in, which helps to allow people to live in their comfortable bubbles in less-populous states that suck money from the Government like a Hoover to even be viable. 

Let's see if we can follow the twisted liberal logic here. What makes the "comfortable bubbles" in the "less populous states" is the money they "suck from the Government like a Hoover" without which they would not "even be viable".   

See? It isn't the way Texas produces oil and cattle. It isn't the way the farmers in Kansas produce so much corn. Why, it isn't that people are productive at all! They're just dumb vacuum cleaners sucking money from government!   

Just one question soix, what exactly is it that government produces? I know government produces taxes and regulations. I know government has a whole army of people it pays to extract taxes and compliance, but what exactly does government produce? Besides debt. 

Rhetorical question. I know you can't answer. You know you can't answer. Loopy liberal logic depends on no one ever pointing out the logic being loopy. Frankly, it is a lie. 

Chuctoberfest! Deal with it!

Uh oh. Politics has entered the fray.

He said before launching into the most partisan political polemic in the whole discussion.

I, for one, look forward to the NY show and hope proof of vaccination or a fresh test is required.

You go, girl!

Chuctoberfest looks like a great time!

Indeed, so great it triggers some into fits of impotent rage. What is inexplicable is why anyone would remove a perfectly fine post simply because someone is, what? Jealous? Micro-offended? More than likely. Oh well, that is one of the many great things about Chuctoberfest, the utter and complete absence of prudes, scolds, and censors. No safe spaces! Just mature good-natured adults getting together to enjoy good music, food, and drink. Scandalous!

dill, Chucktoberfest is SC. Thus the lager. Not that there’s anything wrong with lager, a fine German beer and a good quaff to be had for sure. But here at Chuctoberfest our beverage of choice is Deschuttes Black Butte Porter, brewed right here in the Pacific Northwet.

Also unlike your typical weenie so-called audiophile events held in hastily set up hotel rooms, Chuctoberfest features seriously dialed in systems tweaked and modded to the max. Brandon Wade in Woodinville has been improving his system for some time now, as have I, and we both have some pretty cool stuff to demo, things you simply will never encounter in any ordinary show situation.

I don’t know everything Brandon has planned but here in Redmond we will have pork back ribs with beer and all the trimmings. Take that, you dopey hotel shows! Which never even happen anyway. Chuctoberfest is ON!!!

Thanks dill for the link. My first year and already people copying me. Pretty freaking cool.
