Re: Monster Cables

Oh, that's plain enough. It is great fun twitting them though.

It doesn't and they know you're a cheap prick. I don't give either, I'm safe. ;-) (actually I gave sapphires this Christmas).

No, they don't "perceive" any difference, other than the price.

...and back we go to the bank robbery argument.

Or they bought Monster cables and are waiting for me to buy their health insurance.

Mommy.

What does a diamond symbolize that a zircon cannot?

That you're hopelessly stupid?

Greed.

No, it was that I took time to trace the circuit of my MCA SP1s and provided it for people who were interested in the Dorsey mod. However, as my schematic showed the SP1s "sort of" already had it built in. In other words they didn't use the cheapo transformer coupling and the circuit was very similar to Scott's. I'm sure that link has been down for a long time. I'm not even sure where my original files are! Probably on some backup CD by now! Great to see fan mail! :-)

Hey Keith, with your tin ear, why waste money on zip cord? I mean some nice 24 gauge bell wire ought to get the sound you are looking for!

Does daddy know you are on his computer?

Thank you for the feedback!

Kind regards

Hehe, audiophools are such fun.

Double blind tests are, for some reason, invalid.

If you can't hear xxx, you have tin ears QED.

At one time, luxury gifts to a woman gave her some degree of financial backup if things went wrong. Less necessary now, when any woman who has spent two consecutive nights in your bed seems legally entitled to walk away with everything you own.

Yeah, far easier these days to just find a woman you don't like and buy her a house. Saves a whole lot of hassle.

Please take your flame wars out of rec.audio.pro. Thank you.

Seems as though giving cash would have been better. If you buy a diamond for $1000 and give it to someone, in all likelihood the most they'd be able to sell it for would be $250 or so, wouldn't it?

These days that is the case. There was a time not too long ago when diamonds were a convenient negotiable currency, before DeBeers started jacking retail prices up half a century ago.

24k gold still is today... I know a lot of folks in Asia who buy 24k jewelry because they know they can always sell it for what they paid and consider it a convenient way to store money in a place where banks may not be trustworthy.

Indeed.

If you're lucky.

I don't understand why diamonds aren't churned out like transistors.

There's not enough demand and the process is still too expensive. I'm still waiting for diamond film fabrication to get cheap enough for lifetime razor blades.

It's only been five years or so that we've been able to make gem quality diamonds at all. Give it some time.

Hopefully the carbon deposition stuff will also allow in-situ fabrication of weird shapes... like Shibata and van den Hul styli!
