geoffkait,"A hobby should be active, interactive."I think I understand the connection to audio equipment you are making, but I wonder would the principle apply to stamp-collecting, too. You buy an expensive stamp, and paint on it to make it a litt...

geoffkait,"...the tweakers, the doers,,went one way and the anti tweakers, the ones who touted the equipment, went another."Although it is kind of a right description of a situation, maybe "anti-tweakers" is not the right word. Maybe "non-tweakers...

That would be a long shot for seaweed. Garmisch is some distance and many mountains from the nearest sea. Maybe some Alps capacitor allowed to roam free pastures. Green of course, pastures not capacitors. The stage becomes quite wide and peaks mor...

This thread leans away from any semi-tangible topic and becomes a playground for challenging opponent’s personality. Somehow, it started being about formal education credentials. How? Why? What does it have to do with anything? It would be better ...

geoffkait,Thank you for considering. Take your time.

geoffkait,I am not special at all when it comes to not calling people on the thread cows, crazy, grasshoppers, etc. Most of the posters refrain from that. Even Michael Green and prof, at the height of their argument, abstained from such descriptio...

jf47t,I was not kidding at all. Your description of what you heard was quite impressive. I mean, it seemed that differences were impressive to the point of disbelief when reading about them. As you described it in a way I simply did not have enoug...
