If you check out that site where the audio friends hang out you'll find a lot of talk about 'plankton'.

You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy...

Besides, everyone knows if your system generates too much plankton the air becomes saturated with it, blurring your soundstage, destroying your PRAT, and creating veils. It also clogs your interconnects and disables synergy, which is why you should always use balanced audio.

People who use the term "plankton" in a serious (in their mind) way to describe audio are best described as a "prat":

prat​

(præt)

Word forms: plural prats
countable noun
If you describe someone as a prat, you are saying in an unkind way that you think that they are very stupid or foolish.
[British, informal, disapproval]
What's that prat doing out there now?

So pardon my ignorance but now I'm thoroughly confused after spending all morning catching up, to not getting caught up to confused by the sheer volume of posts and nothing at all done around the house....:)

Has it been established that the 3 Jason flavored Yggys have prat-ti-cal discernable improvement over Bifrost 2/64 and what those prat-ti-cal improvements are? Was someone asking that a couple days ago or like 25 pages back? :) Now I'm wondering if plankton can exist in a vacuum tube. Back to my lowly MJ2 covered in plankton size dust.

One of my favorite words, second only to "pillock".

I also like the British usage of a word that begins with a "c" and rhymes with "runt" but is considered too rude for HeadFi.

The only thing that has been established is some people use words in the wrong contexts and very strangely indeed, they are usually prats and pillocks, and that some jokes are better not made. Shrimp goes with dirty rice and there must be beer. Oh, and I'll add that I loved the Mjolnir 2 and if I still used dynamic headphones, it would still be in my system. :)

So if the Yggy has more plankton, does that mean that BF2 has krill? :thinking:
