I won the office pool for when Skylab finally came down from orbit, broke up into pieces and crashed to Earth. That was at Goddard Space Flight Center. I’m guessing you didn’t know there was a Skylab or a Goddard Space Flight Center.
Art Dudley Calls B.S. but without naming names - PLEASE DO!
Hey all,
As someone who hasn't been reading the audiophile press for all that long, I stumbled upon this article that I'm sure it lit up these airwaves when it was first published: https://www.stereophile.com/content/skin-deep
It's a great article and one that any knowledgeable person would most likely agree with, but hey, spending your own hard-earned (or inherited) money is a right and a privilege. Art does call out some brands that he perceives to give great value: AMVR, VPL, Conrad-Johnson, DeVore and Harbeth and Kimber and Peachtree and Quicksilver and Rega and Rogue and Spendor and Wavelength. Shouldn't NAD be on this list?
But what he doesn't do and I think is warranted, is name the companies that are most egregious in selling high-end products where the performance is far below the cost.
I, for one, would love to see a list of those manufacturers from the people who read this forum. You can group them by what they manufacture or just put them in order as you see fit. I think it would be most helpful in calling b.s. but with "added-value", which is what this whole article was all about. Right?

supertweak"Still waiting on proof you ever were really a NASA engineer." We have been through this matter on previous occasions in this forum and the universal answer which is supported by the experienced Moderators of this group is that no one here owes you anything at all they do not have to prove who they are conduct any tests at your demand or provide you with any personal information in any way. Based on your previous submissions here wherein you stated you are not comfortable in this group because it lacks what you call sufficiently proper supervision I conclude that you are probably an American in probably the third or fourth grade but I will not demand that you prove that or otherwise provide me with personal information because I can just safely interpret your posts with that understanding that you are still in what some call "grammar school" and if you prefer to think that Geoff never worked for your NASA you can interpret his posts in that fashion but you do not get to persistently pester him in this group he has every right to participate with out your personal interference. |
You could also send mental signals through thick glass like it were telegraph cables... You know, to create agony to intelligent people’s brains... That’s pretty scary considering how effective his constant barrage of useless posts are at creating angst here already. Without even actually going anywhere even! How many victims have bailed? His quantum skills on display.... Luckily us Amish people do not believe in such things. |
For the most part the moon landings were not (rpt not) a hoax. Only the first one was a hoax, the one with Neil Armstrong, you know, “One small step for man, one giant step for mankind.” That line was actually written by Stanley Kubrick’s wife. That one was filmed by Kubrick on a back lot outside London. He was selected to film the moon landing since he had just finished shooting 2001: A Space Odyssey so had the sets all ready. |
