Crazy crazy crazy


If we ever get through all this craziness and Axpona kicks back up meet me on the second floor at the bar. I’m buying the first round. Stay safe friends.

Two anecdotes/observations from Australia.

Sharri Markson, she of the Murdoch/Fox stable, has recently completed a documentary (utilizing a forgotten skill known as "investigative journalism") on various issues surrounding Covid.

Naturally the Left have treated it with contempt. That in itself is rather revealing.

That the China Communist Party people aren’t pleased goes without saying. As if they could dislike Australia anymore than they already do, so it matters not. Pfffftt.

Second, and unrelated directly to Covid is the whole ongoing issue of the integrity of the science we hear from government scientists. This is addressed in the doco as it relates to Covid.

My personal experience with bureaucrat science is that Australia has recently banned the importation of liquid nicotine used in vaping. The government scientists who supported the ban invariably relied on evidence that was either completely incorrect, irrelevant or misleading. {edit- perhaps they have promising career prospects in some marketing outfits we here may be acquainted with..}

This was abundantly obvious to anyone of reasonable intelligence who could do a little reading on the issues. Why lie if you are telling the truth, kinda thing?

Just my little rant, I’ll go away now.


@mahgister

But which one audio professionals? Engineers ? which one of the many engineering fields? reviewers ? musicians ? acoustician? psycho acoustician? experimented audiophiles ?
Pick the one (or more) who you believe answers your query to your satisfaction. That goes for anything: medical, audio, lawncare...I am unemotional about who you or others choose to trust. You will make the right decision for you. Now, the right decision doesn't mean 100% positive outcomes, it just means that you made an honest assessment and can live with the consequences.

«Take also the good seeds where they had fallen»-Groucho Marx reading Bible....🤓

This is a cute quote that I'm reasonably certain never happened...Groucho was a practicing Jew.

If you think that this mass of convergent greed did not exist , quit even reading audio forum, you will not be able to figure it out by yourself anyway....😁😊

LOL...I'm not even certain how to respond. Even though I believe I'm quite objective, I'm reasonably certain that you and I will not be able to find middle ground.  With that said, I believe you are giving the "greed conspiracy" way too much credit. Greed didn't start 20 months ago, I'm fairly certain that those who are admittedly greedy are far too fragmented to have organized with a common goal. Best wishes with your journey.

@ghasley they don’t understand consequences, especially the impact they have on others…….

Poisonwood Bible writ large….

You are correct.

I’m not saying I think that certain people aren’t making catastrophically stupid decisions with their health and yours/mine, I’m just saying nothing I can possibly say on an Audiogon forum is going to change it.

I’m reasonably certain that a person who would choose a path different from my own also believes/disbelieves in cables/fuses/magic-contact-KY-jelly on their interconnects than the position I take on same. I’m not saying the position I take on a given subject is absolutely right, its just my position...I might be wrong but I can live with the outcome. Others seem to expend alot of energy trying to convince others they are correct, I just wish they would finish cutting my lawn before doing so. LOL.

The thing that puzzles me the most is when a seemingly intelligent person begins their quest on anything with an answer before posing the question. I miss the days where all we argued about on Audiogon was whether vinyl was better than digital or that tubes are better than solid state. Best....

We're still in those days, they aren't done yet :-)
