Me too. Please don't bother to reply to any of my posts either. Your brownie points have been exhausted.

Hi guys,

I know I don't usually post in this thread (but I think it's good :thumbsup:) but,
I just thought (before I gave up conspiracy theories :spy:) I'd express something here that seems distantly relevant to me:

I used to think that analogsurviver and bigshot were the same physical person in real life. I used to think they were some kind of split-personality kind of situation.

I'm not creative enough to make up that kind of zany stuff. My brain can't be made to work that way... at least since I gave up drugs after college.

THAT would be, for me at least, beyond the faintest shadow of a doubt:

I have never done drugs except for coffee. :coffee: (hey, I'm a Finn! :wink: ). I even consume alcohol very rarely (despite of being a Finn :wink: ).

I never did drugs, in my 16 years of school or otherwise. That includes alcohol or cigs. I got nowhere in life accordingly.

I’m soiled in steep amounts of quality wine, whiskey, and weed. But don’t hold that against me. No relationship to my enjoyment of cables. -)

I'm not high on potenuse or even much of an alcohol consumer myself. my body is making me pay an increasingly high price for any abuse I put it through, so moderation has become my favorite tool against ragrets. but I've been a teen and went to a boarding school where the guy making the rounds at night was the local dealer. mistakes were made, a bunch of times.


I have to say that as a modo: the notion of "testing" in this topic is in relation to audio claims only. we don't support testing of illicit stuff.




this post was created with the help of stealing jokes from TV and ruining them.

I'm all in favor of drugs. They keep the stupid ones quiet.

Julian Hirsch of Stereo Review did a blind test of a cheap consumer amp against an audiophile one back in the 70's and the results were random. I was a subscriber back then, months of diatribe againt Hirsch by irate audiophiles ensued in subsequent issues, he created quite a stir. I tried to find a copy of the story on the web but couldn't locate it. He was THE pioneer in this debate.

When I am at an audio show, at some point all the rooms start to sound very similar....I would most likely not be able to tell amps apart in an unfamiliar room, with unfamiliar music, speakers, etc....but if somebody tried to slip a new amp in my system at home with my music, it would not be difficult to tell that something was different.
