The Black Hole......

...was she the one who submitted esoteric EE papers to little-known journals ...

LOLOL I still cringe remembering my daughter and her friends miming along with the SG songs....of course I'm sure that is the same as my parents listening to me sing along with Led Zeppelin as a 10 year old: "I'm gonna give you every inch of my love..." twas ever thus.

Thanks for the laugh and cheers,
Howie

What about AC/DC's rendition of 'Let me put my love into you'

Or, in other words, how close to the line that separates decency from indecency can we skate.

I remember 70s TV. It skated very close to the line on decency and well over on a number of other issues.



Kids TV these days is great. I am sure they stick things in just to see if anyone notices or complains

I used to screen movies at MIT (before cable, etc) and I remember the trend in the 70's to have the female lead do one 2 or 3 second flash of total frontal nudity for no apparent reason. Susanna York in "The Shout" was my favorite. "Roller Ball" did the men, don't know how often this is left in.

I remember at 10 being shown a film at school that had several moments of nipple tassles.


Of course all of the carry on movies had to have breasts in somewhere. I'm not even sure 'carry on up the Kyhber' could be shown any more.

 

[scottjoplin]

When I was 10 or 11, 75-76, our school, and others I'm sure, experimented for a short period with very matter of fact, explicit sex education, no love/relationship bla bla, just the mechanics, including videos of couples doing it in scary detail.

 

[waltzingbear]

It was the introduction of video tape with single frame pause that changed all of that. You could now see all the Easter Eggs that had been inserted for ever.

Carry On Up the Khyber - Wikipedia

 

[billshurv]

well of course you can find anything on the interwebs. But can't remember having seen it on TV for over 20 years.

It wouldn't be politically correct

[billshurv]

It wouldn't be anything correct by 2020 standards! Some of the gags are still very funny though.

 

[gpapag]

It is still an excellent film (am I getting old? )

George

 

[billshurv]

I am biased. I think I had seen it 3 or 4 times as a youth before the double entendre in the title clicked .

"Khyber" was certainly on about a year ago - I came across it in the afternoon while stuck in a hotel!!

Complementary input stages have the problem of the compromise with using both types, both N and P together, BUT they can easily remove the need for an input coupling cap. THIS IS USEFUL!

John, hi. Why is Parasound saving on loudspeaker terminals? https://vismedia.ru/upload/resize_cache/iblock/000/1000_1000_1/000336b157dcd71af8ed1a8dbd45feac.jpg For example, for ROTEL RB-1590 https://www.allcables.ru/storage/goodsImages/179/179200/1000x1000-179200_2.jpg or YAMAHA M-5000 https://proektor74.ru/pics/uploads/c-5000-5.jpg 8 terminals are installed, which is very convenient for Bi-Wiring connection.

 

[john curl]

Tough!

 

[GUNFU]

It's also convenient, you can connect two different speakers to choose from. Or use all 4 terminals to reduce resistance or bi-wire connection. My next friend has a ROTEL, a very functional amplifier for that matter. Speaker cables are connected via Bi-Wiring, the increase in sound quality is obvious.
Also pay attention to the Yamaha terminals, they are quite compact and can be easily tightened with your fingers, although they are located side by side.
I really like the Parasound because its PSU has one large toroidal power transformer for both channels. And in the output stage, excellent Sanken bipolar transistors are used in good quantities. But in detail, like terminals, it again lags behind its closest competitors.
