A discriminating audiophile among the Jesuits
|
No wonder of it: sheer plod makes plough down silicon
Shine, and blue-bleak embers, ah my dear,
Fall, gall themselves, and gash gold-vermillion.
|
Alas I don't see the connection between Audiophiles and Jesuits
|
There's no "connection between Jesuits and audiophiles". I don't do
generics; it is enough to lave them to the silicon slime. There is a
clear connection between a particular Jesuit and the audiophile
persausion, as I have disclosed above from parsing his own text.
|
Surely the word is "paraphrasing" not "parsing". Not very well either.

You're a mental case.
|
Well, that certainly cleared up the mystery. :-)
|
Don't forget that Stupey also thinks Arnii Krooborg is a "scientist". ;-)
|
No I don't, but I think that Hiddius is stuck at age seven..........
|
|
He isn't even a real engineer.

Good. Now read Andre's post out loud, in an Elmer Fudd voice,
then my reply in Bugs Bunny's voice.

I might pick the same nits you try to infect me with about your sig.
No, my dear fellow, I have worked in the theatre (and television and
films for that matter) and the only dramatization is not photography.
And if your photographs are all "granularised" (perhaps you mean
"granulated", in which case I would advise you not to put your coffee
on your work while you add sugar), you can't be much of a photographer.
As for black and white being only prints, fah chrisesake, this is the
twenty-first century: you can say "minstrels" aloud. And, while we're
about it, why should blue and whites be limited to Cyanotypes; the cops
will have something about that, as will the Delftware subchapter of the
Crockery Collectors of the Universe. If you want to throw stones, don't
stack them up at convenient overarm distance from your own glasshouse.
Welcome to the nuttier fringe of hi-fi.

I love Andre's posts---I never understand a word. Translation anyone?
|
I often wonder where he gets his 'silicon slime' free recordings to enjoy
on his tubes. Perhaps he records everything himself on a Revox G36?
|
Most any vinyl recorded before 1965 or so is likely "free of silicon".
Or geranium. Recording studios and master cutters used tubes before then.
|
True. But then with the inherent distortion of vinyl it doesn't much
matter. And the 1/4" master will have removed all the transients anyway.
|
|
|
Why would you assume that he is either rational or consistent?
Besides, it's a plain fact that there's a lot more silicon in one of
his tube amps than in any solid state amp. It's what glass is made
from.
So, the *real* 'silicon slime' is Jute himself! :-)
|
There is an expression, "jesuitical reasoning", which is identical to, but
preceded the "R.A.O. Debating Trade" by several hundred years:
|
Ohhh!
I think Granularised sounds much better than Granulated
After all they are 'ised rather than 'ated.
And as for my name, I am from Birmingham UK.

|
I don't think he's even seen silicon otherwise he'd recognise the
"blue-bleak embers" description as that of the colour of silicon
and not some metaphor for sound.

I'm increasingly failing to see the connection between Audiophiles and
audio.
