Sugg. for good intro audiophile Books
Hi. I'm looking for some intro books on hi-end audio, something that will
go over the basics like transformers, power supplies, filters, speaker design, cables, etc. I would prefer to start off at a very basic level and absorb the essentials, before I tried to go further into it. Thanks. -- R*Horse rwinner.blogspot.com |

Thanks. A good starter book can be had for free download at Pete Millett's site. It's by Norman Crowhurst, and IIRC the title is "Basic Audio," or something like that. |

I'd recommend the complete works of Sigmund Freud to try to understand
the minds of the people who post on audiophile newsgroups. |

Sigmund figured everything boiled down to food, ****, cocks and ****s. Two paragraphs could sum his theories up. Mostly horse****. A cocaine addict, like Hitler and GW Bush. Of course, you've read most of the Standard Edition so this is a balanced comment based on intimate knowledge? Tell me, for instance, what you think of screen memories? Or the latent period? Or hysterical conversion? You probably know as little about Freud as you do about Hitler. Shall we start on Europen history during and after the first World War, or did everything boil down to food, ****, cocks and ****s there as well? Oh, by the way, Happy New Year. Make a resolution to read some books in 2007. |

Hitler was a common rabble rouser who used the standard, proven, and
not wholly unjustified grievances of his day and leveraged them against the situation in Germany, which was a nation reduced to penury by the Treaty of Versailles and the Great Depression. Things went out of control when the war broke out , aided by his drug habits and tertiary syphilis induced lack of sanity. That seems about right, though Germany had started to do quite well again up to the Wall St Crash when aid was withdrawn. Hitler seemed to have had a wholly psychopathic ability to take control of things by using the most ingenious kind of thuggery, so he was a bit of "virtuoso" rabble rouser in a manner of speaking. |

The notion that things were under control prior to WWII is absurd. |

Had Hitler been assasinated in 1937, he would be a hero in every history book today. By 1937, Hitler had already been persecuting Jews for years, had made himself a dictator, had engaged in extensive political violence, and had shut down media coverage of said violence. A monster by any measure. And though no sane society will ever extol him as a heroic figure, his days of being the locus of evil in history books are already coming to an end. That's why they are throwing historians in jail all over Europe. It will backfire and the consequences-an end to Judeocentric neocon power in the US and Israel being forced into some very unpleasant policy changes-won't hurt my feelings at all. A Palestinian Tel Aviv will burn their ass, especially when they have to accept the fact the alternative is one turned into a green glass parking lot. As the United States loses the last of its industrial base and is turned into a broken nation, with a Mestizo-ridden Southwest, it will be quite powerless to intercede no matter what fundie TV preachers or Americn Jewry may say. Oy vey! |

Yes, interesting point this. Maybe in future years historians will be thrown in jail in NATO countries for suggesting that the Balkan war was started in the first instance by NATO cocking up the agreement between Milosovic and Tudjman - an agreement that everybody expected to be a formality - by making demands (most likely over oil and gas line franchising) that resulted in Milosovic storming out of talks saying the Serbian equivalent of "over my dead body". Although, seeing how the prime movers of NATO comprehensively ****ed up in Iraq maybe history will look backwards and realise that they had already started ****ing up in Yugoslavia. The way things stand, history has no grasp on the Balkan war and Milosovic is conveniently dead and so unable to put the record straight. |

If you will throw a historian in jail for saying one thing, you will throw him in jail for saying anything, at which point history will be left to imbeciles and manipulators, as the samrter will abandon it. That's what they are counting on. During the Balkan war the only semblance of neutral information came from the previous entity of Non Aligned Nations (NAM), such as India. The coverage in NATO countries was a joke - the TV and radio "news" was taken word for word from NATO as spewed out by Jamie Shea. You could always tell because whenever Shea came up with a new phrase (like "Milosovic is defiant", or "ethnic cleansing") it was round the whole of the news channels that day. |

By 1937, Hitler had already been persecuting Jews for years, had made himself a dictator, had engaged in extensive political violence, and had shut down media coverage of said violence. A monster by any measure. Jews had been kicked out of what was then and is now Germany, or parts thereof, many times before Hitler. And not wholly without good reason, though one may wll argue most Jews were innocent of the reasons, the people made it imperative they be kicked out. Jewish financial-kingmaking interests came to influence the government and the people rebelled. Hitler was a coarse, brutish man. No other would have succeeded, as in Iraq with Saddam Hussein. He had a talent for **** disturbing and engineering "thuggish" behavior: again, else he would not have succeeded. His goals including expelling all Jews from Germany partially because it was politically expedient and saleable but also because otherwise none of the necessary changes in finance and marketing needed to get Germany working would have been feasible. Not every Jew was profiteering from the German plight-probably more than not were suffering along with everyone else-but powerful Jews unquestionably controlled the media and the entertainment businesses. THey would have stopped him dead had he not removed their influence, and he did it. One could reasonably argue that Hitler saved countless lives by stopping Germany from becoming Communist, where most of the best Germans would have been slaughtered as millions were in the Soviet countries. Had Germany avoided war with the US and Britain, "The Holocaust (TM)" would certainly never have happened. Want to prevent future Hitlers? See to it that a population such as that of Germany-or America- is not put in that position again. Protect American industry, send Mexican illegals back home where they belong, and stop needless American adventuring abroad where it only causes us trouble. The thing I liked about Hitler was that he didn't take any **** from magicians. But the rest of your story--holy moly! Not a lot of people will go to bat for old Adolph, other than neo-Nazis. |
