Can one ever be "done" in this hobby?

Whose haircut? Yours or his?

That is a good one!

Is Michael Bolton still singing?

Weekend at Bernie’s is the end of it all,
Once you have entered, for help you will call...

Big black nemesis, thick green emesis....

By chance, I heard "Le Moribond" by Jacques Brel today and could not be done with it so continued with its copy "Seasons In The Sun" by Terry Jacks (lyrics significantly changed). It is a great song, I think. It is about being done in this hobby of life.

(there are subtitles in English, if anyone is interested in lyrics and is not adept at French, they may be worth thinking about)

No worries. We will not mention cables.

I just came from underground. It was not that crowded. You should try some day.

Your current bare-bones system would fit there perfectly.

"Where would GK go then?"

To Michael Green's Tuneland website (which is something different from computer game for children that Google prefers).

"Now, can we PLEASE get back to the topic at hand?? All this friendly chitchat is going to cause all the serious audiophiles to quit the forum..."

Topic at hand is "serious audiophiles" quitting. Isn’t it?

As I was opening the page the right side was advertisement for....ubereats.com. Long reach of uberwaltz who is getting cleaned of audiophilia.

thecarpathian,

I’d guess he did need to make it louder. Double the amount if it was convertible. I am not sure how it affected soundstage, though, but there was a fuse box in the front so miracles were just a pop of the cover away.

thecarpathian,

I may be wrong but I remember Alfa Romeo Spiders having just that written on them (except the number for displacement, or Veloce on some iterations, maybe Graduate in the U.S.A. to capitalize on the movie, etc.). I think Alfa Romeo model was actually called Spider while some other brands had "model+ spider" (124 Spider, for example). Sort of, Alfa Romeo Spider pinpointing to just one model.

I just remembered how we ended up with this topic. It was because of the Queen song. Ok, not too far from audio.

uberwaltz,

If thoughts on one Italian website are anything to believe, it was Spider.

Back to irregular programming.

uberwaltz,

Do you happen to know which Alfa Romeo was Roger Taylor's? Maybe they tuned them all the same, but the song end always sounded like my friend's Junior. It was actually a guess from those times.

Would "irregular programming" be considered as some cousin of "deprogramming"?

uberwaltz,

Once upon a time, on an icy road, someone drove a bit too fast and crashed three other cars, including mine that I loved and still love. After waiting in icy rain and all that, I got in the car (it was movable but needed lots of, mostly, bodywork) and the song that started playing when I turned it on was...I’m in love with my car.

"Can you determine which exotic car by the sound of this exhaust?

The sound at the end of Queen song "I'm in love with my car" is Alfa Romeo.

"The most fun of any car to have in the shop."

Biturbo, hands down.

Alfa 33 comes second.
