Until now I never believed in Dopplegenger's.

I figured he wasn’t long for this forum. Such greatness is fleeting.

Unlike you, I have a photograph of myself as my profile pic. I am not going to provide any scientific proof that is me, but let me tell you my fantastical story. It all began when my direct ancestor, Julius Caesar...
haha.

They will always be HP to me. Always.
I have some of their old HP equipment with the hp logo in my home lab. Works like a charm.
I've had some HP pieces too and they worked wonderfully even if older than I. One was a lovely oscillator with balanced/differential and single ended outputs and it took a hit that was guessed to be lightning and it needed a capacitor and it worked great after too. Between Tektronix and HP I'm not sure sure what I like more. They both had some great models and where a pleasure to operate and calibrate stuff with.
By the way, I really was at Shangri-La the other day. Rick Rubin's studio. I agreed not to post some of the pictures, but this one is fine. It used to be Bob Dylan's tour bus, now rebuilt as a small recording studio. It is pretty cool.
The equipment you see on the right was just used by Neil Young when he was recording there. This is inside of the bus. Through the door is where the engineer sits with the "deck".
Where did the blowhard go? Did he decamp to WBF?

What the heck? Recording in a tiny little bus area like that? Just doesn't seem right. A fancy full on SOTA recording studio would seem better. But then I have never recorded anything!

Which Blowhard?
SeagoatLeo. I live in Westchester County, NY, and even here I don't regularly encounter people as ostentatious as he!

Unfortunately, I think we were beneath his dignity. Any further interaction with us would surely have started degrading his most illustrious reputation amongst the great and the good.
I hope he enjoys his audiophile tweaks, catered meals, and underground power in his gated community!
(Has anyone ever actually bragged about having underground power lines feeding his home? This must be a first.)
I hope everything was analogue and with tubes
