Two audiophiles walk into a bar…and start impressing the chicks with acronyms.
You're amazing!two audiophiles walk into a bar….
the navigator took them there. In truth they were looking for another place but due to a strange twist of fate they end up elsewhere...they decide to go in anyway because they can't get to the bottom of it. the place is called Saloon 2, but for friends, “Amirm’s”!!
the first turns to the second: listen, try putting “Golden Ears” back in the navigator!! but come on, let's try something new, I can't stand that place anymore!! oh well, we're here now, let's order something, it's late.
The maitre approaches, with the name on the yellow tag pinned to his chest: AdamG. Gentlemen, he exclaims, welcome, new to these parts? yes, the two reply, we are very well used to it, specifies one of the customers, we know everything about the best foods!!!
What do you recommend this evening? I'll leave you the list, you can start to get an idea there, I'll come back in a moment.
The two open the card and immediately realize that there is something different. The dishes are described in a very dry, almost objective way. Nothing warm, soft enveloping.
AdamG approaches, asking them if they were ready. One of the two replies: I bet the t-bone I eat at Golden Ears, dry aged for 14 weeks and treated with ginger beer is better than yours!! Noticing the scene from the counter, Amirm the owner approaches: AdamG, whispers in a low voice: here are two more....
Amirm takes the situation into his own hands, and, firmly, replies: try it!! I bet that if I bring you my steak, blindfolded, you won't notice the difference... The two order the meal and two different bottles of beer, highly recommended: one REW and one PEQ.
accept the challenge: the first says to the second: be careful, it will definitely be a trap, even my wife told me that that tbone from the "Golden Ears ” it was the best, he understood it from the aroma….
after some time one of the cooks, a certain Doodsky, comes out of the kitchen: he brings the dish to the table. Meanwhile, in the corner of the room the guitarist begins to play. The group is made up of several elements, each with the group's pink t-shirt, the ASR; the members are Boris, the nice singer, Kemmler, Sal1950, mhardy, SIY and Purite.
from the kitchen Solderdude, MattHooper, Radix and restorer -John, scrupulous chefs, try to understand what the two think of the food cooked with such expertise.
A good half hour passes and Amirm and AdamG approach the table: so? they ask them….
the two almost intimidated respond; you were right, your advice was excellent, in fact, we will see each other more often!!!
the audiophile member ask the manager: but how was it possible to eat so well while spending the right amount, but how do you do it??
we measure everything, no magic, nothing is left to chance, replies AdamG.
Yes!! it's exactly like that, continues Amirm, you see, it's the raw material that counts, not prejudices, the right cooking times, we are able with just a few filters to objectively improve everything... well….not exactly everything though...!!
what for example?? asks one of the two!! Well, there are some very "poor" things that are unusable....!
So they will cost little? continue anyway... no, in fact our top 20 best dishes are often very cheap... but far exceed the threshold of goodness of taste!!!
the two don't understand immediately, they thank them and go to the cash register where there is a certain Blumlein,
they pay and hurry to the exit. the other boy at the counter BDWoody beckons to them, calls them: he gives them two business cards, pink, in the shape of a panther: original!!! exclaims one of the two. the boy at the bar asks for their name, writes it on the ticket in pen, new member. Hey, exclaims the buddy, is this a club? no, he replies, no dogmas here, only truth, and clarity!!! but if you have understood how we work you will continue to come back,….the two say goodbye, thank you and leave….before leaving they turn to look at that place: mmmhh ASR, Panther, ASR, Saloon…..then one says to the other: but….so could it be that we have been going to the wrong places for a long time??
oops, a notification arrived, sorry, I was carried away by the finally pleasant music (thanks for the advice!!!!) in the background, and I fear I fell asleep...
someone mentioned my post!!! it's time to answer,….who knows, maybe it's a new member asking for clarification on cables, on steaks, or on some 20,000 euro snakes oil that feels great….:!!! or perhaps, very likely, some of the "elderly" member, will have scolded me for a comment.... I can already hear Keith, Jimbo or perhaps Voodooless writing to me: measurements?? can you try it??
PS sorry if I didn't include everyone, but we would need a 50 page story, see you next thread of this type!!!!
anyway, thanks to all ASR member for their patience, advice and good time spent discussing audio!!
well...reading and writing...."get to know" other users!!You're amazing!
You know everyone!
