Queen of Sheeba - Respighi - Reference Recording
Electrostatics - SoundLab. These things are monsters.(wall-sized, too)
Nearly tied at second place - Magnepan's large speaker.
Practical use (ie - you don't have a cavern to fit those monsters in)
would be the higher-end Tannoy or Genelec monitors.
> 2. What loudspeakers do you own?
JBL L-series. Modern equivalent is 4408A/4410A(fronts). I also have a
couple of Roland monitors for my computer, though those are likely to
be sold soon to upgrade to a pair of Tannoy MX2s. I firmly believe
that a subwoofer should not be required for music. The speakers should
be able to handle a relatively full range by themselves.
Movies, though, do often require a sub for impact of explosions and
such which would muddle the main speaker's sound.
> 3. If you don't own #1, why?
Sheer size and cost. Size, most of all. These speakers are huge.
> 4. What is the best headphone you have heard?
Humm - hard to say - I had a pair years ago with 2 inch drivers
and flat response from 20hz-20khz. Don't remember the brand name.
These are kind of like wine - you have to listen until you find
something that you like. Large drivers and good closed ear pads
are a typical feature for anyone serious.
> 5. What headphones do you own?
None. I don't have a portable player currently as my car stereo is
what I use when I'm on the move. The rest of the time, I like my quiet.
Music is as much about the notes as the silences between them, afterall.
> 6. If you don't own #4, why?
No real need.
> 7. What is the best commercially available recording you have heard?
Toughie - um - I like several recordings by Robert Shaw. They are not
the best technical recordings, but the artistry of the orchestration and
singers flat out blows away most of the competition. Most of the great
orchestras/conductors in the last 30 years or so are also in this
league, like Sanderling and Bernstein, not because past ones were
any worse, but that CDs became available to do seriously high-quality
recordings that could match their skill.

It's the audio equivalent of penis envy.

Yeah, sure. Clearly we've got a sex therapist here who hears so many
stories from his clients about people with dysfunctional
social/sexual relationships that he can't conceive of ordinary
monogamous heterosexual relationships, particularly those involving
people he fears and hates. When I read childish insults like this one
I wonder how much money I've personally cost him out-of-pocket, in
terms of his failed snake-oil audio schemes.
> (Ba da boom!...But seriously, folks)
But seriously, Tom has at least one lovely, intelligent, charming
(and needless to say, unmarried) lady friend who adores him and seems
to keep him pretty busy. I wish them the best of luck in the future.

Hearing things again, are you? Careful Arnie. You're close to the border where
Paranoid Personality Disorder becomes full-blown Paranoid Schizophrenia.
However, your perception of your stature in in life does remind me of a story:
This huge female elephant is clomping through the jungle brush when she gets a
leg tangled in some vines and can't move. After a time, a little mouse comes
poking out of the brush, and says, "I can gnaw through the vines and free you,
but if I do, you have to grant me one favor."
"Sure," said the elephant, "Go right ahead."
The little mouse squeeked with glee and gnawed through the vines. When the
elephant was free, the mouse puffed out his tiny chest and said, "Now for the
favor. I want you to let me fuck you."
The elephant roared with laughter. "Go right ahead. Knock yourself out!"
The mouse scampered up the elephants leg, tucked himself in under her tail, and
began humping and pumping away. Just then, a coconut fell from a nearby tree
and hit the elephant smack on the head.
"Ouch!" cried the elephant. "Shit! That really hurt!"
"Take it all, bitch!" said the mouse. "Take it all!"

This poetry discussion has nothing to do with Arny; it started
out as a discussion about Bill Watkins's limericks and their
unconventional scansion. Arny, mistakenly thinking I have him
kill-filed, has repeatedly used this and a few related threads to
troll me. His wish has come true: here I am.
If your name appears in this thread's heading, it's because you
are often viewed as Arny's supporters -- even if that's not
always the case. But it's clear that, among other things,
"friends of Arny" has become a litmus test on RAO. And even if
you're not a friend of Arny's, I think it can be said that none
of you are friends with George Middius nor are any of you big
Stereophile supporters. This is important because Arny likes to
accuse his detractors of being acolytes of Mr. Middius or toadies
to John Atkinson.
Anyway, most of you probably know that I find Arny to be a cancer
on this NG. I focus attention on his technical errors because I
think he does far more to hurt the cause of objectivity than even
the most religious and zealous subjectivist. Why? Because he is
fundamentally dishonest and refuses to learn from his major
blunders, preferring instead to lie, defame, and distort in order
to avoid the appearance of being wrong. Hell -- he'll probably
claim *I'm* not the DSP-based Ph.D. he's referencing above. Those
of you who know me know that I'm methodical and honest and that
I'm no great fan of nor apologist for the high end.
I do not like being trolled and I therefore ask you to pass
judgment this one time. In the handful of public debates I've had
with Arny on technical matters, have I *ever* been "nailed," to
use his term? Or were our encounters more accurately described as
me thoroughly eviscerating Arny and exposing the gaping holes in
his knowledge for all the world to see? Furthermore, have you
similarly found it disgusting and repulsive that he will
subsequently come back many months down the road acting as if he
was correct all along and never believed any of his silly
mistakes in the first place?
Remember, this is not a matter of you vs. Middius or you vs.
Stereophile. I was content to ignore Arny and let him fuss and
fume, but it seems he's all too eager to have me fighting with
him again. Since he won't listen to me and is clearly begging for
public attention on this matter (hence the repeated trolls), I
urge you to sound off. Any takers?
Glenn Zelniker
Hey Glen.. I'm a renaissance man, remember the Infinity 80 and 90.
To answer your question, It's my own deal... There are
_many_ forms of limericks, some that don't scan, so what
with one more. It's just sort of a challenge to put on-topic
input into a form with equal line length (using courier
regular, #10) and rhyme.
In any event, here's one that will scan better, just for you:

Really? Fair enough, I suppose. I was always under the impression
that an actual limerick was constrained by a particular scansion
and rhyme. Now I get where you're coming from.

The work of Middius and as you put it Dr. Zelniker, his acolytes.

Only because that's the story that your actions tell, Dr. Zelniker.

Regrettably Dr. Zelniker, you are so inactive and irrelevant as to
not even be metaphorized into a case of cancer.

Dr. Zelniker, you may rant, you may rave, and you may plagiarize, but
you don't focus much attention. Got any audio game Dr. Zelniker? I
didn't think so!
>Why? Because he is

I'll leave that kind of action to Middius, Atkinson, and Zelniker.
It's what they do best!
>Hell -- he'll probably

Hell, no!
>Those

But you suck up so good, Dr. Zelnker. One problem, other than lying
about me and only saying I'm wrong but not why, you're largely audio
content-free.
> I do not like being trolled and I therefore ask you to pass

Obviously not in your own mind, Dr. Zelniker.
>Or were our encounters more accurately described as
> me thoroughly eviscerating Arny and exposing the gaping holes in
> his knowledge for all the world to see?
Dr. Zelniker, you claim to eviscerate me, and Atkinson and the
Middius acolytes claim that I'm been eviscerated. But where are their
biases and what do they know? Since your role around here is to be
Atkinson's apologist, why would Atkinson do anything but confirm your
claimed *victories*?
Nahhh Dr. Zelniker, you rant and rave about my alleged errors, but
you won't tackle me on the topics I deal with from day to day, and
you won't tackle me when it isn't for Mr. Atkinson's and/or Mr.
Middius's or one of their acolytes benefit.
>Furthermore, have you
> similarly found it disgusting and repulsive that he will

Your problem Dr. Zelnker is that many of the errors you've accused me
of were due to your own misunderstandings, intentional or not, of
what I was trying to communicate. But why not let bygones be bygones.
Instead of the 473rd run-though of topics your muddled your way
through last year, why not tackle some new topic that I blundered
through this year? If' I'm as inept as you say, you should be able to
catch me in a blunder every week. This year is more than half through
Dr. Zelnikerm, so you should be able to find at least 26 new blunders
that I committed this year. Where are the 26 new technical blunders I
made this year Dr, Zelniker?
> Remember, this is not a matter of you vs. Middius or you vs.
Stereophile.
Dr. Zelniker, this is really about what a liar you are and what a
coward you are. If I'm really as incompetent as you say I should be
making technical blunders every week. Where are they?

It's just a matter of kicking over rocks until you show your face,
Dr. Zelniker. Why don't you stop hiding behind Bill, and face me

Dr. Zelniker you are truly a coward, begging other people to fight
your battles for you.
Agreed.
>Dr. Zelniker, this is really about what a liar you are and what a
>coward you are.
Give it up already, Krueger. NOBODY here makes up more shit or more lies than
you do.
Damn thing is, Arnie, I have it on good authority (I'll email the source to
you, if you want) that when you heard I came out in SUPPORT of reviewers doing
blind listening, and when I chastized another reviewer in print for relying on
long term audio memory, YOU were furious. Wanna know why, folks? Because
without enemies, without people who he sets up as his opposition, poor Arnie is
a nobody and he knows it. Some people stand on the shoulders of good men who
came before them, but Arnie thinks he has to climb up on a pile of self-created
boogey-men. Next case.
mmg
My, how you love to troll. You'll never listen to anything I have
to say, so I'll again leave this up to the court of public
opinion.
Do I "got any audio game?"
Just to preempt Arny's inevitable lunacy, though, I'll let the
crowd know that despite what he may think, he and I agree on most
technological and application issues so this is not a matter of
ideology.

Shut up. I'm not the least bit afraid of you; I merely find you
incredibly tedious and vile.

No Dr. Gindi, as RAO's leading sockpuppeteer by your own accounts,
you're way ahead of me in the sh*t and lies department..

I seriously don't remember the occasion. Was it this century? Was it
under your name Dr. Gindi, or one of your sockpuppets?

Dr. Gindi, if you want a real thrill go to www.google.com look up
topics and components that are covered by both the Stereophile web
site and one or both of my two web sites. Say, the Card Deluxe. Now
notice that due to the fact that my pages outhit the corresponding
Stereophile pages, they come first in the google lists just about all
the time. I may be a nobody, but my web sites have a certain amount
of IMPACT. The opinion has been granted by independent parties on
Usenet that I have more credibility than John Atkinson. Sorry to rock
your cradle, Dr. Gindi.

Sorry, Dr. Gindi. Unlike you I'm not afraid of my own name. I may not
do everything *right* but I do it under my own name. You don't. End
of story.

Sounds like what many liars say when confronted with the truth. Give it up,

Dr. Gindi, you've got me confused with someone who gives a whit about
your paranoid speculations.
Dr. Gindi, if you've got some evidence, present it in public.
You seem to be a lot more interested in it than I am, so carry your
own ball, Dr. Gindi.
You expect them to scan along with even line length,
be on topic, and rhyme as well? Are you kidding?

"Thine Devil" does. And do sockpuppets count?
Like a little child, your verse is meant to be seen and not heard.
whatever you say, doctor
>Dr. Gindi, if you've got some evidence, present it in public.
Fine then. If I go out of my way and do that, thus reminding you of what you
claim you don't remember (what bullshit!) in return, you'll heed Devil's urging
and kill yourself? Sounds fair to me.
mmg
That's ludicrous, Dr. Gindi. Looks to me like, you were lying and
have nothing to show.
Sockpuppets should neither be seen or heard.
Bill W.
That's a very mean thing to say Dr. Gindi.
Don't you understand that it would deprive someone else
of the pleasure of causing his demise?
So, how does that relate to me?

Christ, I wish. I wonder if I wind Gerg up enough we could get him and
Arnii in the same room and let them kill each other.

Wind me up? You flatter yourself. I'm the one that has you ducking
questions like the weasel that you are. How's that jpeg coming along?
How's Clerkie doing? What aspect of your dysfunctional family put you
on the wagon?
Like shooting fish in a barrel.

Does this dialogue we had on RAHE jog your failing memory at all, President
Reagan...er...Arnie? I'm sure it's just a simple lapse of memory on your part.
Or maybe your newsreader failed. Or maybe you.... (yada yada yada)

Wrong, Arnold. And I've so stated as much over a year ago right

I've also come out in print in FAVOR of reviewers doing blind (and
preferably double blind, when possible) listening when initially
evaluating solid state components. Then, once a difference is
established, they can feel free to wax as poetic as they choose.
This has been my own practice for a good long awhile.

A half hour or so of my time for Arnie's lief? The offer I made seems
reasonable to me. It's like the guy who goes into the auto parts store:
Customer: Can I get a gas cap for my Yugo here?
Owner: Sure. It sounds like an even trade

If the punishment is to fit the crime, we could lock them in the same room
together for a few decades and make sure they DON'T kill each other.
