Hi my name is Dennis , aka Daniel Quinn , I am litigation lawyer living in Preston England and I have joined AOS at the personal invite of Marco when he wrote
Now "Daniel Quinn", or whoever he is, is similarly as entitled to write what he likes on Richard's site (within Richard's guidelines), but if "Danny" has got so much to say for himself, and finds this thread and/or me so funny, then why doesn't he join the forum and tell us what he thinks is so funny, by contributing to the discussion here?
So, Danny boy, now that I've given you two minutes of 'fame', in your otherwise empty life, come and laugh out loud here. I give you my word that you can write pretty much what you like, and won't be banned!
After the selective quoting of my words Marco intimated I would enhance AOS because he’d
read wittier retorts from a pubescent teenager... "Danny's" bile is typical of the puerile, keyboard warrior nonsense one reads on Facebook, which in reality is where he belongs!
All this because I suggested that certain AOS contributors on line persona’s were dogmatic , bullies of average intelligence who totally lacked empathy . Whats wrong with that ?
So here I am : an annoying argumentative arsehole with a fondness for “Amisesque” triple illiteration, My aim is offer an alternative perspective to the hegemony and puncture pomposity , it is after all Hifi not the collective struggle for emancipation .Oh yeah and see how long it takes me to get banned. :)
In terms of hifi, I was obsessed as a student some 20 years ago when I bought a PT Anni and 1000’s of records which you could buy for £2-£5 from the vinyl exchange in Manchester . Forsaking hifi for 20 years of hedonism while the records and PT were mothballed . I have very recently got back in to it . The PT remains with Roksan Tabriz zi tonearm . Very recent purchases to get me up and running are a Benz Micro Sl , Cambridge 640p , Yamaha amp and home made floor stander speakers based on Audax and peerless drivers with no crossover save for capacitor and wire wound resistor on the treble and midrange.
So very much a novice , but to be honest I see hifi as a means to end , namely to listen to 70’s rock music with a glass of red wine after a day of arguing with idiot defendant solicitors . However , I do very much accept that the pleasure is ehanced if the sound quality is , but there is clearly a law of diminishing returns . I am not an objectivist, reality is not amenable to measurement . Apparently 90% of the universe is made up of dark matter and scientists can even find it , let alone measure it !! I've had some tremendous results with hard wiring and running one piece of cardas wire from cartridge to phono amp.
Finally , despite the aetiology of my membership , it is a fact that I have learnt a lot from AOS members and I would like to thank you for that .
