On the other hand 500€ per chanel is not a bad deal.
Let us not forget ( at least us the older ones) that in hifi audio the bet placed from the very start was for the best possible perfomance at the lowest possible cost. So I can see here that we are overreacting 1000€ for 2 chanel might be more than just fine for a state of the art processor
:eek: 4 years ago:
Welcome to this machine called society that brainwash people, by sending them to school at a very young age to be later on teached on how to be a good worker. Please listen to the mainstream media, vote, buy things you don't need to impress people you don't even know. After all, appearance is really important. Please follow orders, obey to the police. Stay away from others and make sure to always be in competition with them. Kill nature and life so we can build structures that are 100 000 foot tall to show who controls. And most important : Never forget that money is the most important thing in this life. It is a human creation that controls your mind and makes you a slave. But it's good for the economy. Welcome to the machine.
Not quite so, I'm afraid. Try adding another zero to the amount mentioned and you're getting there. ;)
In any case, I don't have a problem with the price, specs, attributes and performance of any audio equipment. A piece of audio equipment may interest me or not, end of story. Simple as that.
What annoys me are the ludicrous efforts of some owners of such equipment to ascribe transcendental qualities to their prized possession, such as it being able to "ξεχωρίζει την ήρα από το στάρι, τα παιδάκια από τους άνδρες, τους "χαϊεντάδες" από τους "χαϊφιντελάδες", τους ψεκασμένους από τους ορθολογιστές, τους κακούς από τους καλούς, τους λάθος από τους σωστούς, τους σκοταδιστές από τους επιστήμονες". Do you read me?
First observation: the human race is really messed up.
Second observation: according to the greedy, selfish, leechy, bastards money makes the world go round. Others, more intellectually evolved, argue that money is the root of all evil today. But the simple truth is that the best things in life are free.
Last observation: it's a real shame that the "most evolved animal" on earth is solely responsible for all the environmental damage. Why? One possible explanation is that your species has amused itself to death...
Personally I prefer to deal with this stuff. This is something to deal with. Why a piece of audio equipment may interest me or not?
Apart from a fundamental question, why one might need so many channels unless he owns a movie theater or something, there is more to it.
Strangely enough the price per channel goes up as the number of channels decreases. This does not make sense. It should have been the other way round as it has to be more and more difficult to perform correction (processing) as the number of channels increases.
Anyway there is at least one other dsp unit out there that does great job for something less than 1000 euros for 2 channels. Such is the world.
You shouldn’t be annoyed so easily. I can suggest a more phlegmatic approach. Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way. After all we are dealing with human beings and such is society.
"let's have a laugh, noone's here for art.."
"... φέτος η μόδα των παπουτσιών είναι τέτοια που δεν θα μπορούν οι φτωχοί να τ' αγοράσουν. Κι έτσι θα χωρίσουν οι πλούσιοι από τους φτωχούς".
Psychological and sociological issues, but that’s another story .
Au contraire, mon ami.
I'm not just annoyed, I'm furius at the the show-off twats that listen to their audio equipment instead of listening to the music and lyrics of songs AND they have the nerve to call others, that actually listen to music and are paying attention to the lyrics: naive, ignorant, backward (and other such shity names).
Take for example the record Dark Side of the Moon. Those fuckwhits are stunned by how their great immersive setups recreate, with the highest fidelity, the bass frequencies and the spatial audio effects. That's it, nothing else! Those simpletons are either incapable or totally indifferent to the meaning of the lyrics.
Henry David Thoreau, in Walden, wrote: "The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation."
If you think about it, I mean seriously think about it, you wouldn't suggest an approach along the lines of the lyrics you quoted. Those lyrics seem to relate rather closely to Nagel’s concept of absurdity. Nagel defines our lives to be absurd because there is a distinct discrepancy between our claim to significance and what the universe actually tells us. Or in other terms, we go about our lives thinking they are significant but, because you can zoom out far away in reference to the universe, this means we are but a pointless speck on a small planet who really has no meaning whatsoever.
This idea is present in the lyrics "Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way" and this relates directly to an absurd life. It hints at the feeling that many people may have, whether conscious about it or not, that we are all just grasping for meaning. We try and find some way to cope with the desperate feeling of meaninglessness by just trying to fool ourselves that we are meaningful or just accepting that we are indeed lacking meaning in the universal scale.
This is too what Camus thought. He thought that either we would commit suicide (either literally or philosophically - i.e. religion) or we would have to accept that the universe is silent and continue to search for a meaning to life. I seems plausible that these fears are what the lyrics to time are playing at. Our fear of death and meaninglessness and that we simply don’t have enough time to find a way over it: "And then one day you find ten years have got behind you.", "Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time…" and "The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older, shorter of breath and one day closer to death."
A second paramount point underlying the Dark Side is the concept of "Us and Them" or, more precicely, Us AGAINST Them.
"With (with, with, with), without
And who'll deny it's what the fighting's all about?"
No matter what the stated reasons for war are, whether they be a protection of democracy, a holy crusade, or a pursuit of weapons of mass destruction, in the end all the fighting is really over who gets to have and who doesn’t. Hence the withs and the without’s.
So, let's put the above two points together:
"Life is very short, and there's no time
For fussing and fighting, my friend"
So, why is it impossible for the "most evolved animal" on earth to grasp a couple of such plain and simple realities?
Προσωπικά πάντως δε βλέπω το λόγο να μην επικεντρώνει κανείς την προσοχή του (και) στα ίδια τα μηχανήματα, πολλές φορές ακόμα και σε βάρος του σκοπού που υποτίθεται ότι εξυπηρετούν. Στο κάτω κάτω αρκετά εξ αυτών αποτελούν έργα τέχνης in their own right, συχνά μάλιστα μεγαλύτερης αισθητικής αξίας από την αναπαραγόμενη μουσική που, για να λέμε και την αλήθεια, στο μεγαλύτερο μέρος της είναι κυριολεκτικώς για τα πανηγύρια. Μην ξεχνάμε ότι για τους αρχαίους ημών –που κατά γενική ομολογία κάτι καταλάβαιναν από τέχνη– δεν υφίστατο διαχωρισμός μεταξύ «καλών» και «πρακτικών» τεχνών, μια ιδέα που υιοθετεί στο γνωστό βιβλίο του και ο Πίρσινγκ. Για να το τραβήξω μάλιστα λίγο παραπάνω, μια καλογραμμένη παρουσίαση ή ένα συνεκτικό σετ μετρήσεων αποτελούν πολλές φορές έργα τέχνης από μόνα τους και παρουσιάζουν μεγαλύτερο ενδιαφέρον από τα μηχανήματα καθαυτά. Το γεγονός ότι ορισμένοι από τους οπαδούς των παραπάνω αντιλήψεων είναι ημιμαθείς, κακοήθεις και ανόητοι, δεν αποτελεί επιχείρημα κατά των ίδιων των αντιλήψεων. Πάντα έτσι ήταν, είναι και θα είναι στη συντριπτική πλειοψηφία τους οι οπαδοί οποιωνδήποτε αντιλήψεων.
Αφετηριακό και, ταυτόχρονα, θεμελιακό σημείο της θέσης μου επ' αυτού είναι ότι εννοείται πως ο καθείς μπορεί, με όλη την ελευθερία, να διατηρεί την όποια σχέση επιθυμεί/επιλέγει να έχει με τα ίδια τα μηχανήματα.
Τούτου λεχθέντος, όμως, τα μηχανήματα αναπαραγωγής μουσικής, εξ ορισμού, έχουν ως λειτουργικό σκοπό και λόγο ύπαρξης την ... αναπαραγωγή μουσικής (κάτι που θεωρώ ότι δεν είναι δυνατό να υποτίθεται ή να τίθεται εν αμφιβόλω).
Το ότι για ορισμένους ακροαματικόφιλους (ευτυχώς πρόκειται για ένα τραγικά μικρό ποσοστό των όσων ακούν μουσική) τα μηχανήματα δύνανται να έχουν και άλλες λειτουργίες ή να εκπληρούν, συμβολικά ή άλλως, πρόσθετες επιδιώξεις ή στόχους θεωρώ ότι ανάγεται στο πεδίο της φετιχιστικής ιδιαιτερότητας, κάτι που δεν έχει να κάνει με την ίδια την απόλαυση της μουσικής.
Τα μηχανήματα, για μένα, είναι απλώς το μέσο και ποτέ ο σκοπός. Άρα, επ' αυτού του σημείου μάλλον θα συμφωνήσουμε ότι διαφωνούμε.
Δε θα διαφωνήσω στο ότι "αρκετά εξ αυτών αποτελούν έργα τέχνης in their own right", έτσι είναι.
Θα διαφωνήσω, όμως, στο θέμα της μουσικής. Παλαιότερα είχα φονταμεταλιστικού τύπου απόψεις τόσο σχετικά με την αισθητική ή άλλη αξία των διαφόρων ειδών μουσικής όσο και σχετικά με τους ανθρώπους που ακούνε συγκεκριμένα είδη μουσικής. Μου πήρε αρκετά χρόνια και αρκετό κόπο να συνειδητοποιήσω και αποδεχτώ μια απλή μικρή αλήθεια: η μουσική είναι μια και έχει αξία είτε πρόκειται για "θεόπνευστο" έργο του Μπαχ είτε πρόκειται για προϊόν μαζικής παραγωγής το οποίο προορίζεται για πρόσκαιρη και εφήμερη μαζική κατανάλωση. Η διαφορά ενός κλασσικού και διαχρονικού μουσικού έργου από ένα εφήμερο χιτάκι με ημερομηνία λήξεως είναι πως το πρώτο διακρίνεται από τη λεγόμενη "στατική ποιότητα", ενώ το δεύτερο από τη λεγόμενη "δυναμική ποιότητα" (κάτι που δεν αποκλείει το ενδεχόμενο να μετεξελιχθεί, με την πάροδο του χρόνου, σε στατική ποιότητα). Ελπίζω να αντιλαμβάνεσαι το πλαίσιο στο οποίο αναφέρομαι.
Δυστυχώς ο Πίρσιγκ έγραψε δυο βιβλία μόνο: εξίσου ενδιαφέροντα, εξίσου σημαντικά και εξίσου απαραίτητα για κάθε σκεπτόμενο ον.
Τώρα το παρατραβάς αλλά θα αντισταθώ του πειρασμού να απαντήσω παρορμητικά.... :D
Η άποψή μου είναι πως μια φιλολογικώς άρτια παρουσίαση ενός μηχανήματος παρέχει μια κάποια αισθητική απόλαυση. Παρέχει, όμως, χρήσιμη πληροφόρηση για ένα υποψήφιο αγοραστή;
Μόνο μια περίπτωση μπορώ να σκεφτώ η οποία συγκεράζει καλογραμμένη παρουσίαση με συνεκτικό σετ μετρήσεων χρήσιμη για λήψη αποφάσεων: τον οικοδεσπότη αυτού του φόρουμ.
Θανάσιμος εχθρός της ελεύθερης σκέψης και βούλησης είναι οι κάθε είδους πίστεις, ιδεολογίες και -ισμοί....
Δεν διαφωνώ σε τίποτα ουσιώδες. Δεν ξέρω πάντως αν η απολαυστική αξία των audio reviews είναι σημαντικότερη από την όποια χρηστική τους, δεδομένου ότι δεν αγοράζει και πολύ συχνά κανείς τέτοιου είδους συσκευές, ενώ κάλλιστα μπορεί να διαβάζει τις αντίστοιχες κριτικές σε καθημερινή βάση. Θεωρώ επίσης ότι δεν στερούνται πρακτικής χρησιμότητας, με την προϋπόθεση ότι ο υποψήφιος αγοραστής είναι σε θέση να διαβάζει πίσω από τις γραμμές τόσο της υποκειμενικής αξιολόγησης όσο και των μετρήσεων, κάτι που απαιτεί πείρα, διαίσθηση, αλλά και τύχη. Ο τομέας του ήχου πάντως έχει εξελιχθεί σε τέτοιο βαθμό που η επιλογή του κατάλληλου μηχανήματος έχει να κάνει περισσότερο με το προσωπικό γούστο του καθενός παρά με τα λεφτά που διαθέτει, τις απόψεις των ειδικών και τις αντίστοιχες μετρήσεις. Προσωπικά δεν βλέπω σε τι πραγματικά υστερεί ένας καλός συνδυασμός κινητού/ακουστικών σε σχέση με οποιοδήποτε απλησίαστο εξωτικό σύστημα που απευθύνεται υποτίθεται σε μυημένους, χωρίς να υποτιμώ φυσικά κάποιες εξαιρετικές περιπτώσεις που δεν έχουν απαραίτητα να κάνουν με τη χρηματική αξία. Το ζήτημα της αξιοπιστίας (και της υποστήριξης θα προσέθετα) που είχες θέσει παλιότερα είναι βεβαίως κεφαλαιώδους σημασίας, αλλά ελάχιστη έως καθόλου σχέση διατηρεί με αυτό που συνήθως ονομάζουμε "ποιότητα κατασκευής" (που αφορά κυρίως τις ποιοτικές ανοχές και τη συναρμογή των υλικών) και σε μεγάλο βαθμό είναι θέμα τύχης. Όπως και νάχει, στο ζήτημα αυτό η σε βάθος χρόνου γνώμη των πραγματικών αγοραστών (όπως τη βλέπει κανείς στο amazon για παράδειγμα) είναι πολύ πιο κατατοπιστική από την οποιαδήποτε "επίκαιρη" κριτική.

If you are in right place and If you don’t fancy the quiet desperation (which isn’t all bad…or not bad at all, I am not so sure I am still working on details here ) there is only one alternative remedy, not only for frustration but also for everybody’s anxieties, worries, fears, existential crises etc.
This remedy assaults rationalism conventional logic and any form of conformity but it is a unique antidote for every day irrationalities, absurdity of life itself as well as any lack of common sense and reasoning.
Amazingly it can fight efficiently whichever you select and simultaneously the exact opposite. Not bad at all eh?
This wonderful medicine comes with little or no side effects and without the risk of addiction. Although extreme caution is required to the exact dosage which must be kept religiously as may lead to various inefficiencies, deficiencies, temporary incapacitation or in extreme cases anoxia and death.

SURPRISE TRAGEDY
Characters:
THE HUSBAND
THE WIFE
THE WIFE’S LOVER who doesn’t speak
In a bedroom, in the present day.
THE HUSBAND
arriving suddenly, finds THE WIFE in bed with a stranger: Ah, traitor, the anonymous letter I received an hour ago was telling the truth: you have a lover!
THE WIFE
So what, you believe anonymous letters now? Come on!
(curtain)
It's not what it looks like! :rolleyes:
Space station, female astronaut : Houston, I have aproblem.
Huston: Report nature of the problem.
Female astronaut: Mmm.. never mind.
Huston: Please reprort the problem.
Female astronaut: If you cared a little you should have known.
You who are on the road
Must have a code that you can live by
I love to see people laugh,
and I love it more
if I can make them laugh
Sally, take my hand
We'll travel south 'cross land
Let's get together before we get much older
We'll be fighting in the streets
With our children at our feet
So child don't play with those pots and pans
They will soon enough ruin your pretty hands
I don't need to fight
To prove I'm right
I don't need to be forgiven
Darlings are you ready for the long winter's fall?
said the lady in her parlor
said the butler in the hall.
Is there time for another?
cried the drunkard in his sleep.
Not likely
said the little child. What's done
the Lord can keep.
And the vicar stands a-praying.
And the television dies
as the white dot flickers and is gone
and no-one stops to cry.
The big jet rumbles over runway miles
that scar the patchwork green
where slick tycoons and rich buffoons
have opened up the seam
of golden nights and champagne flights
ad-man overkill
and in the haze
consumer crazed
we take the sugar pill.
Jagged fires mark the picket lines
the politicians weep
and mealy-mouthed
through corridors of power on tip-toe creep.
Come and see bureaucracy
make its final heave
and let the new disorder through
while senses take their leave.
Families screaming line the streets
and put the windows through
in corner shops
where keepers kept
the country's life-blood blue.
Take their pick
and try the trick
with loaves and fishes shared
and the vicar shouts
as the lights go out,
and no-one really cares.
Dark Ages
shaking the dead
Closed pages
better not read
Cold rages
burn in your head.

Living home on monkey island, baby
Right in the middle of a zoo
Living home on monkey island, baby
Pretend to be a monkey, too
Well there’s one thing about these monkeys, baby
They don’t know I’m around
But that’s pretty good, ’cause if they knew
They’ll probably come and put me down
Living home on monkey island, baby
Right in the middle of a zoo
Living home on monkey island, baby
Pretend to be a monkey, too
Well, here I am on monkey island
Hiding behind a rock
I’m all dressed up in my monkey suit
Pretending to be something I’m not
With my paisley tie and my one button suit
I’m about as close as I can get
I guess I must be doing okay
‘Cause they haven’t come and got me yet
Living home on monkey island, baby
Right in the middle of a zoo
Living home on monkey island, baby
Pretend to be a monkey, too..

I like to drink and to dance all night
Comes to a fix not afraid to fight
You got that right
Said, you got that right
Sure got that right
Seems so long I been out on my own
Travel light and I'm always alone
Guess I was born with a travelin' bone
When my times up, I'll hold my own
You won't find me in an old folks home
You got that right
Said you got that right
Well, you got that right
Sure got that right
I tried everything in my life
Things I like I try 'em twice
You got that right
You sure got that right…
Well, I ain't the one to tell you that. You may be right. ;)

Goodbye Stranger
It was an early morning yesterday
I was up before the dawn
And I really have enjoyed my stay
But I must be moving on
Like a king without a castle
Like a queen without a throne
I'm an early morning lover
And I must be moving on
Now I believe in what you say
Is the undisputed truth
But I have to have things my own way
To keep me in my youth
Like a ship without an anchor
Like a slave without a chain
Just the thought of those sweet ladies
Sends a shiver through my veins
And I will go on shining
Shining like brand new
I'll never look behind me
My troubles will be few
Goodbye stranger it's been nice
Hope you find your paradise
Tried to see your point of view
Hope your dreams will all come true
Now some they do and some they don't
And some you just can't tell
And some they will and some they won't
With some it's just as well
You can laugh at my behaviour
And that'll never bother me
Say the devil is my saviour
But I don't pay no heed
And I will go on shining
Shining like brand new
I'll never look behind me
My troubles will be few
Goodbye, stranger, it's been nice
Hope you find your paradise
Tried to see your point of view
Hope your dreams will all come true
Oh, I'm leaving
I've got to go
Well, hello old friend I'm so glad that we can talk FRANKly. Frankly, Frank was a franklin' genius...
Goodbye Stranger... Please excuse my inconsistency but I couldn't resist... :)

LUCKY LUKE Daisy Town Soundtrack Album 1971
15 Reasons Why We Love Lucky Luke, The Invincible Cowboy Of The Wild
1. He is dedicated to others' well-being and safety, bravely takes on every task given to him, risking his life without any hesitation. He is a hero with a huge heart.
When necessary, he even interrupts his much-beloved bubble baths and runs to help those in need.
2. And he doesn't even expect anything in return, not even stamps; because he isn't interested in material things. He dedicates himself to justice and has ended up living far away from home, all alone for this cause.We have never seen him accepting any kind of payment for clearing the city of bad guys, or chasing gold sucks like The Daltons do.
3. He can move faster than his own shadow and he shows us that some situations require intelligence rather than guns if you want to emerge victorious against your enemies. He is the most invincible man in the Wild West.
He has taught us to always watch our back and not even to trust our own shadow if the time comes.
4. He has also taught us how to be 'cool' by always keeping calm, no matter what is going on.He takes on any kind of tough missions with calmness and never panics.
5. His fashion sense and his clothes are quite clean and tasteful compared to the other cowboys of the time. No matter how crazy his adventures turn out to be, he always manages to keep himself and his clothes clean. His white cowboy hat, yellow shirt, and red muffler...
6.No matter what they do, he always approaches his enemies with tolerance and mercy. We have learned it from him that no matter how powerful one is, one should aspire to be a good person first.
7. Instead of cruel punishments, he prefers to teach criminals a lesson, in an interesting and witty way. He is an intelligent, strong, and very creative hero.
Get some tar and feathers!
8. He has never said anything hurtful to the useless sheriff, who constantly fails to prevent The Daltons, his arch enemies, from breaking out of prison. He has always been respectful and kind.
9. Despite being a cowboy, he is way different than others. He is never rude, but always kind and sensitive towards others. A true gentleman!
10. He has especially set the perfect example for a true gentleman thanks to his elegant and kind behavior toward women. Almost all women have fallen in love with him, but being the lonesome, dedicated cowboy that he is, he took the solitary path.
11. He is not only loving towards humans, but also towards animals. He has never neglected his strong, brave horse Jolly Jumper. He has also never given up on his dog, Rantanplan, who always misunderstands Lucky Luke, causes nothing but trouble, and could be the only dog who can't swim! :)
He has not only taught us about loving animals but also that they can be even more trustworthy friends than humans.
12. He is responsible enough to get rid of his beloved cigarette :rolleyes: so that he wouldn't set a bad example for children. Who else could deserve to be our favorite childhood hero?
13. It was thanks to him that we learned how the first telegraph wire was installed, what whale oil was good for, who Mormons, Billy the Kid, Calamity Jane, and many more were.
14. He has never accepted a bribe, even after all his impressive achievements. He has never gone the wrong way and has shown us what it is to have character.
A round of applause!
15. When it is time to hear the compliments, he masterfully disappears, because Lucky Luke is humble enough to not accept any flattery.
"Lucky Luke? But where has he gone?"
