Let's forget about being politically correct


I thought this would catch the attention of some of you. I have for the past 10 years used a SS amp and tube preamp. This was the prevailing wisdom with alot of audiophiles in the 90's and even today. I am look for a change in my amp/preamp, who out there is using a tube amp with a ss pre? How does it sound? What combinations have you tried?

Asa, I ask this only philosophicaly. Why not just kill yourself now? Is it the death or the dying you seek? Are you seeking or escaping? If life is only vanity, why bother? I see this life as an ever moving journey and science as my vehicle. My being in the being. The silence, if its truly exists, may be inevitable. Its more likely to find me than the other way around. 6chac, I must be the "barnyard animal" because your metaphors continue to escape me, I suppose you attribute that to the din of me mascicating my materialism.
YOW !!! I'm sticking to reading "The Far Side" or "Dilbert" and laughing. All of this other stuff makes my head hurt too much.... Sean

Asa: sorry I have been participating lately but I have been out of town. As far as the realm of the universe, it is only in spiral galaxies that they cannot account for the missing mass, however in very recent research, they can account for all the mass in elliptical galaxies, they do not need an ad hoc solution like dark matter. So I am almost skeptical about dark matter. Dark energy though is a different idea. Recent research does suggest that the galaxies are receding from each other at a faster rate. And the data comes from very reliable Supernova 1a measurements.
Nothing is ever set in stone in cosmology, astrophysics, or astronomy, but it is very enlightening none the least.

One question: are you a strong or weak anthropic principle
advocate? Or is that another can of worms? :^)
Hello Sean, :-)
You seem to know much about about mathematics, calculations, measurements. Here the questions for you.

How wide is your room from wall to wall?
Is it the result (measurement) from wall to wall, or is it the "space" between them (walls)?

I got "F" in calculus, by the way. :-)

Fill a bottle with water; do you say volume of the bottle? Or volume of the water?

Unsound, If you are not speeding (drive); why worrying about getting a speeding ...? ;-)

Unsound, if I die today, my family probably cry for a couple day; I will be remembered for a couple years. 100 years later, who really cares of who or what am I? But we all remember the "Easter" holiday, aren't we?

Happy Easter
6chac, once again I am at a loss, when it comes to your questions. Do you always answer questions with questions? Happy holiday to you too.
