Too good a post to waste

I dont think I have such a good laugh for, well forever actually.
Keep it up boys and girls!

What happened to geoffkait's post? New Dark Matter absorbed it?

A new cable disturbs the town and the baker decries past critics as if discovering
old fish smell.
Did anyone listen then to the lips of market fresh pigs going to the gallows? Did they care it was lamp cord?

"Will Mr. Waite Godot come to the White Coutesty Telephone."

And the world waits with baited breath.
Or is that bad breath?
😱😱

Living in Florida, should be baited breath, unless you don't do the fishing thing.  Which since my southern CA days A miss dearly. 

No fishing, no beaches, no golf, no beer...darn why DO I live in Florida?

Oh thats right, no state income tax......
No vehicle inspections....
No snow.....
No ice.....

Your starting to seem like someone whose whole life is actually siting by his computer using google to come up with information to try to impress the rest of us.

Ya think? Good to see people finally figuring this out. Why its taken so long I do not know. 

Someone might want to go back and read through my posts. Very early on someone took me to task for what I at first thought was just due to your garden variety scientific illiteracy. Well they do a lousy job teaching these things so I at first thought that's all this is and explained.  

From the response this got it was clear not only is there no understanding of electricity, there is no science either. Not only this, but it seemed what little there was was being used to confuse rather than understand. When you know a subject inside and out its easy to spot the fakers. This was not only a faker, it was malevolent, mean-spirited fakery.  

What I mean is most fakers are posers. This was no poser. The poser is trying to join the in crowd. Like pretending to be a better more experienced and knowledgeable audiophile. But that's not what this was. 

This was trying to make fools of audiophiles. This was having it in for audiophiles. This is up to no good. Like I said, go way back in my posting history and see for yourself.

Yes I got all this from twmy response left him flummoxed. Absolutely pegged, and in record time- two posts! Seriously, go back and read the history. It is there for all to see. Unlike the ones above, and probably this one, the erasers of history haven't gotten round to removing it. 

So anyway like I said this was all apparent to me from reading just two posts. But it seemed so unlikely there could be anyone so deeply malevolent and disturbed I had to be sure. DYODD means Do Your Own Due Diligence. Site search. Web search. Sure enough, no evidence whatsoever of any genuine audiophile background, let alone interstellar starship engineering.  

Its really sad the way he's been able to get away with this for so long. Chalk it up to the inherent good nature of most people, I guess. Anyone thinking there's any there there might want to do what I have done, DYODD, search around, see what you find. Then if you still want to engage, oh well. Price we pay for liberty. Personally, I think everyone, and the site, and frankly the whole field of audio would be much better off if we would all simply say move along, please. Permanent ignore. Move along. Please.

Motivation to update the LinkedIn profile....

mine was sadly out of date, of course....

Where is geoffkait?

millercarbon, I am going to tell you how it is. A number of us have been on this site for many years. We have a history together. I have been mostly a silent member until a year or two ago. I am a CPA and do not have a background in electricity and don’t care a bit, although, truth be told, my last position was director of tax for a power utility.

You made a huge mistake when you insulted almarg a few days ago. He is among, if not the most polite and respected members here. There is no coming back from such a blunder in my eyes. So kindly do not use my post in any way to further whatever your agenda is.  There is absolutely no common ground between us.

To the OP, yup, I remember those magazines, reading them constantly as a kid (I'm 44 now).  Good times.

Does anyone know of a comprehensive study done where decent selection of people were gathered, their hearing tested, not just with music but gauging their capabilities and then run through blind testing without knowing anything about the gear or the changes, something like "you'll listen to this [or theses] track(s), you tell us what you hear, we'll switch and play it again and you... [wash rinse repeat for x amount of changes]" ?

No. But what would be the point? So you could come back later and say "Ahh but x in this study only equalled 1,367. Someone should do a study where everyone is blind, and deaf, and mute (sign language okay, maybe, but we should do two studies just to be sure) their genome is sequenced, and x equals one million three hundred thousand eight hundred and four. Oh and let's repeat it in four countries on three planets."

If you have the ability you can hear. If you can’t no amount of proof or reasons will ever be enough.

jetter-

Okay jetter (or is it Sire?) but me being the new kid and you being the big CPA tax director and all, why don’t you help me out. Put together a spreadsheet for me. You can list all the registered users ranked according to importance so I will know. Because being ignorant of accounting rules I was under the impression people came here to post and share and debate ideas. Was mostly oblivious to the whole kiddy playground in group aspect. (Although got to say, first in-group I ever heard of with lurkers who don’t participate for years then feel entitled to lecture, but oh well learn something new every day!)

One thing I don’t quite get though. You said nothing when in your eyes I insulted almarg. Did not for the record insult him at all. He presented his position and reasons, I presented mine. Not the same but as others correctly noted there is room for both as both have their merits. Almarg certainly made his case well. Better than you make yours, that’s for sure.

But I digress. It was one thing when you thought I was insulting almarg. But now you can no longer remain silent. Now you are all up in arms. Over.... geoffkait.

There is no coming back from such a blunder in my eyes.
