Breakthrough in CD technology by Geoff Kait In The Manufacturer’s Showcase
"You can’t convince a believer of anything; for their belief is not based on evidence, it’s based on a deep seated need to believe."
Carl Sagan
"It is useless to attempt to reason a man out of a thing he was never reasoned into."
Jonathan Swift
"It’s easier to fool someone than to convince them they’ve been fooled".
Mark Twain
That just about sums up Geoff’s "products"

That’s...very...good... Dave

Glubson, your statement is definitely true, and carefully worded, but only if the person in question is how do you say it, oh, yeah, deaf.

I thought Class D was transistors. 😳 |

Nope. Upper U.S.
>>>>>Funny. Upper yours, too.
|
I’ve got my fingers crossed, pumpkin. But I’m not waiting by the phone. |
I once visited Latin America. Fortunately I took Latin in school.
|
Nobody’s perfect. Even the Kipmeister.

What’s this, the Organ Grinder and his Monkey Show?

Carl Sagan. Now there was a brain 🧠. He thought the way you could travel to a far away galaxy (as in his novel Contact) was via a black hole. Up until Kip Thorne convinced him to change it to worm hole.
|
Help me out, here. He’s talking about being deaf, right?
|
One thing Peter Walker didn’t have the good sense to do was produce the Quads without that abominable looking and horrible sounding rattletrap of a metal grating on the front and back of the speakers. I mean, come on, people! No wonder he thought all amps sound the same.
|
Too bad De Forest’s hearing was shot by the time transistor radios came out. Otherwise he would have said, Yikes! Transistors suck! |
I wrote the book on crystals. Oops, I forgot you can’t read. Never mind.
|
You’re right, glubson. It is fun learning new things. But I like learning new things that are true. Not logical fallacies from newbies and wannabes. But that’s probably a difference between us, you know, just going by what you say. |
I got as far as, “My understanding is...” 😀
|
Well, if dale is going to see them they must be big. I didn’t realize Bachman Turner Overdrive was still performing. |
Are you channeling the dude from Taxi Driver now? If so you’re good!
|
Geez, glupson, all my LOLs are turning to WTFs.
|
All the important music ever made was recorded and mastered with tubes. By logical deduction all the unimportant music ever made was recorded and mastered using transistors.
|
I’m dead serious.
>>>>>In that case I really don’t get it. |
Apparently glupson’s humor is a little too subtle for prime time.

The names Glupson...Bad Glupson! Get it right Jeffkate
>>>>Thanks, dale |
I agree with mapman. Tubes were a step along the way to where we are today - which is tubes. Sometimes in order to create you must first destroy. Even John Curl likes tubes. He says they just sound right.

That post by glubson just set the all-time record for the number of Strawman arguments. I counted at least twenty. |
Thanks for your input, glubson. How’s the 🍑 🍔 🍔 coming along? I take it for granite it’s coming along fine.
|
200-300 plays? What do you listen to, Metallica? Obviously there can be long term damage if the cartridge and tonearm geometry is not correct. It is not correct to call a stylus a rock. It’s an extremely small light smooth almost zero mass crystal with very low friction. Note to costco_emoji - try taking the quarters off your cartridge.
|
Vinyl deforms every play, not degrades. It’s an elastic deformation so no worries, mates!
|
glupson geoffkait, I doubt it is an organized conspiracy. More like aural blinding by the numbers. I was comforted that I am not the only one with similar results. Looking for official, I stumbled upon unofficial in some article in Stereophile. Enough of the readers' responses assured me I was not completely wrong. https://www.stereophile.com/cont>>>>Yes, I’m aware there are a lot like you. |
Can’t see de forest for de trees. 😛
|
Look, tubes sound like music. Everything else doesn’t. Unless it’s very low power transistors in portable CD players. Then it sounds like tubes, not transistors. If in fact portable CD players have transistors and not tiny little tubes. Tubes have air, tubes have lots of dynamics and tubes have warmth. If you like your music to sound like paper mache then transistors are for you.
|
Glubson, you’re absolutely right. It’s obviously a conspiracy.
|
Actually, digital is generally more compressed than vinyl. The technical advantages of digital are theoretical only these days. Take a gander at the Official Dynamic Range Database sometime. Even hi res downloads are compressed. Read em and weep. 😢 |
Did they give a bus driver uniform to wear? |
Sorry, pal, you’re wrong. I was on the ARINC team that decided who won the $2 billion contract for the new radios. That was 1989. They went with US Air Force radios. I’m talking about the radios at all the centers. Try to pay attention.
|
The Federal Aviation Administration mandated tube radios for air to ground communications be switched out for solid state radios back in the 80s. When the new solid state radios were finally implemented at all the centers, pilots and air traffic controllers commented, “Hey, what happened to all the air and warmth?!”
|
There would not have been a golden age of classical music, either. |
