It came up, on a mind not clear ...
Hi RATs!
Ho ho ho! 'Tis the season to be jolly... or, sigh, and remember riding with Gramma from Columbia Heights to downtown Minneapolis on a fine old electric trolley. She knew where great bakeries were - at both ends Minneapolis is one of those big farm towns that has too much money and not much sense. In 1950, all of the lakes in that city were beautiful and their public transportation did not stink. The future has dutifully repaired all that nonsense. Now there are huge freeways, everywhere, but, they had to tear down all the restaurants and theaters to build them, so, people just drive endlessly in the snow. Once in a while an interstate freeway bridge falls into the Mississippi, but, mostly, they just drive and drive and drive. SSRI's have taken most of the drama out of traffic. Mine, anyway. I am listening to a free MP3 sample of Beethoven Symp #4, "Fist " 1st Movement, Adagio, Allegro Vivace, from Pristine Audio. This is from the recent release of Scherchen with the Royal Philharmonic Orch. and Vienna State Opera Orch. in 1954, in studios. "Well I been searchin'..." Samples come in every Friday's email. These are fine old recordings given the latest and greatest dusting and cleaning. I have saved them faithfully, for years, but didn't start listening to them until this week, when I hooked up this new monitor. The acoustic image floats gently in its own space in cool, clear air. This screen image in front of my eyes is obviously an illusion The unconsious audiophile I never even looked at its "audio" spex, it is a 21.5" HDMI monitor for US$149.99 delivered... in my dotage, I play "Aion" for hours and hours. It is prettier and sillier than MATRIX:Online, but that went offline, sigh. I Googled for a new MMORPG and saw this coming. And here I am, in this brave new future, with a multi-gigabyte client battling uncouth beasties and maladjusted vegetation at every movement of my optical mouse. Occasionally, I come here to litter this literary lane. These newsgroups are terrific: all the wit of men's room walls and none of the stench Happy Holidays! Happy New Ears! Al PS 'Twas the night beore Christmas, and everyone was feeling Merry. She went home, so, they jumped for Joy. |

If you were an audiophile in the Golden Days those electric trolleys
were a bane. Even more if you were a ham or SWL. The arcing crapped things up for miles, in some cases you could hear noise bursts in southern Indiana from the system in Wisconsin. You had high current arcs and LONG wires for antennas and the nodes determined where the noise went and concentrated at what frequency. The crap got into the AC system all over the metro area. And worst of all-the inner city tall apartments afflicted with DC or 25 Hz power, either of which was a thorn in the ass to electronics buffs of all types, were so because of proximity to trolley, trolleybus, or electric train systems. The biggest offender of all was the Pennsylvania RR with its legendary GG-1 electric locomotives with 25 Hz catenary power. But they mostly ran where the interference was intermittent for any one listener. The trolleys stayed in town and buzzed away all the time. |
