Zappa provided a cleansing of the holiday music stuck in my head.

Zappa will do that to ya. Got a good chuckle out of the comment!

The problem is who gets to decide what's "false" and what's not? Thus, physics. It does not care what anyone believes.

Physics can take a few hundred years to make up its mind, however.

I probably came off as a bit picky with my universal remote wish a while back. Really though, my nakamichi preamp was a pricey item back in the 90s.
Inflation would probably make it a several thousand $ unit today. Saga s or Kara + mani or skoll + lokius in today's dollars are less than I paid for the nakamichi .
Loki max would change that formula, but then I can't adjust my tone controls by remote now.... I wouldn't be surprised if saga s or kara will out perform what I have now.
I have an adcom gtp tuner preamp with phono and remote in my computer system. That was about $600 ish new if I remember correctly . If anything like that is on the market these days, I would expect it to be much more costly as well. Guessing saga s or kara will out perform that unit as well.

I believe that Kara would. It’s the best solid state preamp I have ever heard.

I can try again, but the latter part of that post was my first attempt, so this may be a bit of repeat. Hopefully with more clarity?

Also, I might be wrong. But I'd be surprised and skeptical.

Lovely post, thank you!

There's a spectrum here, from the defensive artist to groupthink. Staying in that happy medium is a challenge for every engineering team.

The second best team I worked on was made of mediocre engineers who, as a group, exemplified your thoughts. The teams with multiple star engineers have generally been prima-donna sh**t shows.

Physics didn't make up its mind, it was always the same. It was the people who were in the dark ages.

**My go-to 'change the subject' line.

The Browns. I need you all to think positive thoughts about the Browns. I'm hoping for either a Eagles/Browns superbowl or a Eagles/Raven one (where the Eagles totally and completely destroy the Ravens....)

P.S. Apologize the the football talk.

Last comment on this: Doesn't help to hold up physics as the answer when it doesn't have one. And this statement seems to confuse reality with humankind's mental model of reality.

If so, it looks pretty interesting.

My eldest, the baker who replicates GBBO pastries as a hobby, says that's an Easy Bake Oven. (looping back to Barbie, I guess )

Indeed. What was the topic? ")
