Another Zappa fan?

Indeed. We pop up in the strangest places. I've taken a few musicology courses from one of the composers who picked Zappa to give the keynote speech at an ASUC convention sometime in the '80s (see Bingo! There Goes Your Tenure in The Real Frank Zappa Book). They didn't let him choose the speaker at the next convention. 😀

What ....... me off is a one mans thesis on the story of HiFi and how it should sound like.........there's too much wasteless holler like this about....

I'm sorry, I didn't think that would upset anyone 🙁 Hugh is a bit of a wierdo. His interest in tubes is a nostalgia for something that probably never existed (the myth of the "good old days"). I didn't expect anyone to take him seriously.

Hi,

Realy powerful stone axe, Fred and great range of 800 Ohm boxes on market . Cheers. Pavel

Wake up, Pavel...The name is Frank, not Fred and not Zappa either.
Why people keep on to confusing the two of us is beyond me, he's the ugly one.

Second, I just gave Rich some info about an historic circuit...
Not my fault it looks useless to you, right?

Third, usefulness aside, those 800 Ohm Philips speakers sounded surprisingly good for stone age listeners like myself.....

Cheers, 😉
 
Hi,

Not old enough to remember Stephens, eh?

Not quite old enough, indeed.

A belate happy one to Dave as well.

I'd always wondered who they named sperm after.

You're way too young to even think about that, Steve...:whazzat:

Anybody less than 31 years old ?

There must be plenty....
I think Sch3mat1c is still among the youngest members, IIRC....

Cheers, 😉

Physically or mentally? I'm 49 going on 22. 😀

An event that made me feel old-
I was cleaning and reorganizing things in the basement a few years ago when I came across my old turntable, at the time not connected to my system. My kids, at the time about 14 and 16 looked at it with something approaching awe and one of them said "Oh, wow! A record player!!"
