I'll watch it. Not twice. I'm kind of predisposed with Mr. Winters. I've watched a lot of his stuff. Do I buy it, Believe it, or Promote it? Not so much. The one thing all of his type agree on, that I agree with, "you don't need to spend a fortune on cables to have great sound". I'll add, you better know what you're looking for if your going to go that route.

Not all cables are equal because they measure the same.. Not by a long shot. Cable construction isn't making a pretty cable (though it helps) there is a LOT of tech in cable construction. Pinwheel, Helix, multi alloy, Harp, mag/tech, on and on and on.. 

NO idea what he's gonna say, but I'm sure my ears will get red and my eyes will glaze over before the end of the flick.  If not for any other reason than the monotone 40 voice. I wonder if he could get excited? Yippee just doesn't seen like it would come out of him, to tell the truth. :-)

Eeyore saying "yip.... pee, I'm tired"

Good for you, I don't drink. Cat died 6 years ago I had a shot of single malt. 10 year or so before that.. If I use wine to cook with I'll taste it. If I don't like the taste I don't use it. I use a lot of aged vinegars in cooking.. :-) I do make up Vanilla every 5 years or so. Kettle one and a shot of 50 year old cognac in 8 oz. 10 grade A beans Madagascar is the bomb.. Brazil and Mexico has some really good Vanilla too.

I've had to used a scope and null testing equipment a few times in CANN bus work. Because you couldn't inspect the cable it was covered in grout. There was a way to check for issues between wires. That is the only reason I've ever used null testing in the field. How do check for a smeared wire? The looms were 100K one of a kind 6 week wait. They had spare wires in the loom to get going.. 

The only reason to null test. Safety. I have never needed to use it for any other reason. Absolute conductivity and NO migration of any kind (a frayed or god forbid two wires touching) on a 125 foot personnel boom. They use to be all analog. They sucked in the 70-80s

Audiophile cables, not so much.. LOL Null testing proves you know HOW to null test. It says nothing of a cable's inherent sound qualities.

I feel bad for the Lady she has got some serious bone spurs or bunions on her big toes. Looks painful. Drugs!! After 20 plus maintenance surgeries and 3 major ones. I can spot pain. The broken neck, 4 blown disk, and 1/2" rod that went through me was considered minor, the nutty thyroid tumors it got pretty serious. It's what I get for picking up 20 tons of stuff everyday for 45 years.. Maybe it was setting the 20 tons back down that did the damage. :-)

Now it's 20 pounds. I still cheat I use leverage. I figure 300 with a 6 foot 2x4 is close. :-)

Back to Mr. Winters. I do like some of his panels. The problem is I'm not to fond of him. He has to keep me awake, or be funny, or wild, or really really witty, or good looking, or begging for money.

I hope he don't take up savin' souls, we're all in a heap of trouble.. 

I feel the fire lappin' at my feet, of course in monotone 40 as flat as a pancake.

Use his voice as a test tone, because it never changes. I could hear him say "battle stations, battle stations". Everyone would just stay sleeping, taking a dump, eatin' breakfast, and polishin' atom bombs. Ops, you missed a spot.

Did he say "BATTLE STATION", or addled Administration? I think it was the latter.

I looked and it warned me it was an elicit site. Gezzzz Like I need that image in my head. McAfee saved me from 6 weeks of Prozac and electroshock therapy. 

It could lead to a self inflicted lobotomy if left untreated. :-)

Thanks, I'll take that as a true complement. Being awfully Irish can be rough on just about everything. I'll give the ol liver a break. :-)

Others claim I'm ticking for a reason. They think it's a count down, I assure them it's a homemade analog pacemaker. External PS with silver wire that is gold plated in PTFE and silicone. I just turned it up after a battery swap.

Huston we have lift off, the clock is running. :-)
