Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit

Caterham1700, Redkiwi: your truths (expressed in verifiable, deduced, measured language) show the precise extent to which I was "overflowing" before. You have my complete respect. Asa: many a Zen master shouts a profound analogy to his disciple when administering a blow of learning. --Why should I relegate NBS Statement (yes, series 1) for OTA? I only have one OTA IC pair right now. Since I have not experienced OTA through the entire system, I still have the hope for a new convulsion. The only 47 Labs electronics I use right now is the PhonoCube (which proceeds from the same sector of the 47 Labs universe as the OTA wire). --To come back to Asa's diagnosis, it is entirely correct. By frequenting NBS Statement for a long time, living a long time in the intimacy of its "harmonic complexity" and "spatial realism," something like a "vision" arose in me. With OTA, by contrast, not so much my inclinations or my tastes as my very blood changed, as if a thrilling stimulant had been injected to alter its course, its density and nature. NBS Statement made me more demanding on the formal level of the mind or spirit (the German "Geist" covers both meanings): NBS Statement has an artistic genius. But OTA intervened in the deepest part of my organism which annexed OTA as it would a vice: Asa calls this the "reptilian brain stem that wants excitement," but I think it was my arteries and veins, and, dare I say, my heart. In OTA's vicinity, my reptilian body, my circulatory system felt fortified. Will my body finally weaken and disintegrate when the OTA Cable Kit arrives from Japan via Bosnia? Will I become a parasite of its poetry? --"OTA, without Thee I am mad, yet with Thee madder still!"--Such would be the result of my contact with this cable.

Thanks, Slawney, I laughed out loud! This thread is a hoot! We should have the scientifically-attached (like the medieval, mythologically-attached before them)dashing out from the woodwork any moment now on some crusade to purge the world of all minds that, heavens forbid, see beyond the rubic, the matrix, of their own ideas (but, does heaven forbid such possiblities? Is objectivism bounded by a closed skeptism towards possibilities, or by an unbounded open-ness towards them, and those in ourselves?).

I'm happy for you, really, but let's see if you sell your Statement to Bwhite. Hmmm, now that would produce a real empiric experiment: trial and error is not only discovered by the discovery, but, also, through the discovery of absense...

You tell him Asa!!! Come on Slawney!! Sell me that baby!
Please??? :)

Red...LOONNGGG- term break-in? How about break-DOWN? I've noticed
the fuzziness of the New York Times to be increasing over several YEARS! Wonder how our ears are doing, huh?
At least I got my literary fix from Slawney today....
Cheers.
