Wait a minute! Don't the Amish consider light bulbs snake oil?
How many audiophiles to screw in a light bulb?
This occured to me as an addendum to the current "Wacko" thread:
How many audiophiles does it take to screw in a light bulb?
One to tell all the others that they should be using HIS light bulb, which blows away all the competition. Worth fifteen times the price he paid, the light caused him to deposit his jaw somewhere in the room where he first witnessed the light of this amazing bulb. He also requests if anyone should find his jaw that he would be grateful for its prompt return as he hasn't been able to eat any solid food ever since.
Three to argue about bulb's placement in the room for maximum light dispersion.
Six to insist that the bulb would render superior light if powered by the Phallic Serpent $2500 power cord.
Two to insist that light bulbs are old technology and introduce distortion into the spectrum of light.
Four to declare that a light bulb is no substitute for "real" light, and to greater appreciate the light the bulb provides one must also go out and absorb as much "real" light as possible.
Three to ask why there are so many used light bulbs on the market.
Two to suggest a power regenerator may stabilize the bulb's output and provide for greater enjoyment of the light eminating from it.
Twelve to argue the chain of hierarchy in delivery of the optimum output of light from the bulb.
One to design a custom stabilizing harness for the bulb, fabricated from polished steel and burled Bubinga wood to assure the bulb will be held in place and be immune to all vibrations.... in great style. Filled with lead shot, of course.
Four to suggest doing several A/B/A comparisons of different bulbs before deciding upon one.
Six to quote the recent bulb shootout in The Absolute Light that declared that Home Depot bulbs are every bit as good as NOS GE bulbs.
Three to decry that it's all snake oil, and point out that the rest of the bunch are all whackos and the world is coming to an end anyway.
OK, I'm sure some of you can come up with a few more....

Bigkidz, Western Electric and General Electric recently merged to produce a new WE/GE Reveal 300BE Lightbulb. Reveal lightbulbs from WE/GE-300BE unlock the hidden color in system. Your system will never sound as good as it does under the light of Reveal 300BE light bulbs from WE/GE. By simply replacing standard incandescent bulbs with WE/GE-300BE Reveal bulbs, you'll notice colors and shades that you would have never known were there. Reveal light bulbs bring out the Truer Colors of all your Cindy Lauper Cd's, Lp's, Sacd's. It's an instant system makeover at a fraction of the cost to re-configuring. At WE/GE the Reveal 300BE has been tested Time After Time with the same results. WE/GE "We bring good things to Listening, we bring good things to Lights". |
One to point out that anything built since this one pales in comparison. |
Holy luminance, I've created a monster! LMAO folks! Great to see so many sharing their sense of humor about themselves and their passion in one thread. Thanks for the grins! I hope this thread remains a great cornerstone of reference for all newbies to the hobby. If they're smart they'll take up knitting instead, once they've read the contributions here! Marco |
