Somebody damped that discussion over here

[jh6you]

Acc to Oxford Dictionary,

Damp: slightly wet
Dampen: to make sth slightly wet

Ah... Ha!
Dampening the sound is to make the sound muddy and sticky...

Damn dampers damped better when dampend, damnit. Post #12


It was once common practice in recording studios located in arid climates to spray a mist of water about the studio space in order to create a higher and more constant humidity.

Raising the humidity would increase the density of the air...

Effectively the sound would be dampened and yet simultaneously brighter.

Such a paradox.

Ironically, my brother-in-law built a lab at WSU while working as a professor of civil engineering to study the effects of viscous dampers for reducing damage to architectural structures caused by seismically induced motion (or something like that). His dampers had been dampened with a viscous fluid so that the earthquake motion could be damped.

Damper dampening..hmmm...if I damper something I make a restrictive load...and If I dampen something I create some sort of viscous coupling to separate from the load.

ex..dampers...to restrict air flow

ex..dampening...sinovial fluid in the bursa sack that creates a cushion for knee cartilage......moter mounts.....viscous couplings between drive units..LOL

Out, damped spot! out, I say!

I always though damper was a traditional Aussie unleaven bread. It's very easy to make, but according to the link, you need a 'camp' oven. How do you tell? Put on some Gloria Gaynor and see if it starts dancing and singing along?

Ripplewood owns D&M (Denon and Marantz)

And MacIntosh too now IIRC.

Damp on MacFred, and dampen he who says enough!
