I felt a certain kinship with Ralph and Michael Green, we three the only longhairs at CES in the 90's. I cut off my mop in 2003 when Pearl Harbor (whose band I had just joined) asked me if I would not mind doing. She was a London-type Punk/Rockabilly singer (three albums on WB, Stiff in the UK), and didn't cotton to anything remotely hippie-ish. She had been married to Clash bassist Paul Simonon, and liked her band to look "manly"---50's greaser style. I actually love that look, and gladly acquiesced. But I'm back to the biker look, like Steve Earle in his hard-rockin' period. I prefer to think of it as biker, 'cause I never liked the Hippie style. Love beads, bell-bottoms, and a headband? Yuch!Nice. Audiogon needs to institute mug shots for all its users....
Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics?
Mechanical grounding or isolation from vibration has been a hot topic as of late. Many know from experience that footers, stands and other vibration technologies impact things that vibrate a lot like speakers, subs or even listening rooms (my recent experience with an "Energy room"). The question is does it have merit when it comes to electronics and if so why? Are there plausible explanations for their effect on electronics or suggested measurement paradigms to document such an effect?

The discussion in which the Ginsberg Burroughs anecdote appeared was about knowledge not lifestyle. To whit,And you separate those two things how? Have you read any of his novels or are you flying on derivative knowledge as usual....? Again, I don't look to either pedophiles or drug addicts for "knowledge" aka wisdom. |
Heck, most hippies these days drive hybrids and drink kombuchas... but I've not had Birkenstocks for decades (they didn't hold up so well in the Minnesota winters; neither did my socks). But I still wear sandals as much as I can.Looks like a kool race. Next you you do it, take Kait with you. He needs to get out of his basement and get some exercise. I lived in the cities for over 10 years during my training at the U and owned a mountain bike and road it all over creation. The endless trails along the river were great. |
Geoffkait: The discussion in which the Ginsberg Burroughs anecdote appeared was about knowledge not lifestyle. To whit, "Burroughs, older and wiser, simply replied that he didn’t say anything because "you can’t tell anybody anything they don’t already know." That’s putting it rather in the extreme, but it’s another way of saying that some people just don’t get it and never will." The more I think about it the Burroughs quote could apply to you. 😛 Agear: And you separate those two things how? Have you read any of his novels or are you flying on derivative knowledge as usual....? Again, I don’t look to either pedophiles or drug addicts for "knowledge" aka wisdom. Bobo the botonist takes a swing at the theoretical physicist and misses. I can certainly understand why it took you 10 years to get out of school. I’m much better read than you are, that’s pretty obvious. |
Oops, forgot Pearl spells it Harbour. She's half Japanese/half American, so the name has a special significance. She useta do "Fujiyama Mama", the old Wanda Jackson Rockabilly song. Funny! Pearl is quite an amazing looking woman, very sexy. And what a clothes horse! Her house in L.A. is a two-bedroom, one of which she made into a walk-in closet, complete with a bunch of those racks with wheels that stores hang their goods on. And the house is decorated with posters of 50's Striptease artists, whom she now kinda resembles. Whatta gal! |
