Dec. 29th, 2009 @ 08:30 pm 1930-s are over ?

Hell, I'm happy keeping my money out of my country I born. However I like Russia with all
of my heart, weird things supposed to be happen:

Even if that man was involved in tax cheating, or even spreading a hardcore child porno,
or being an insane maniac he didn't deserve such faith.
I spent last 5 hours by googling any info about him, and according to his friends words, he 
was a good personality, always doing what he's heart was telling to do.

My real apologizes to his family.

Dec. 25th, 2009 @ 11:38 pm We wish you a merry Christmas!
Tags: , , ,
Hello everyone. Cruiser and I would like to wish you a very merry Christmas! We have had a very nice time but as you can see in the picture we are very sleepy now and we need to do a lot of napping. Sugar has been at camp since yesterday and she will come home tomorrow. If she were here she would also wish you a merry Christmas as long as you promised not to come to the house. (She does not like strangers and needs to work on her manners.)

We have received many nice toys. In the picture I am playing with one of Cruiser's new tennis balls. Normally I am not really a tennis ball kind of dog but if I want to get Cruiser's attention the best thing to do is to take one of his tennis balls and act like I am very excited to play with it. This is a very effective strategy.

If you're in the business of selling high end audio then it becomes very important to discover to what extent the golden ears are or are not full of it. Bob Carver did a little hands on research at a mid '70s trade show to shed some light on these suspicions. He displayed an impressive system openly. I don't recall the model number but it had the separate tube amps for the right and left channel. It had the oxygen free gold wire to interconnect the type of components that ultra audiophiles have wet dreams about: hand crafted capacitors and resistors and transistors matched to six 9s precision in gain and so on and so forth. In any case the system displayed was in the $30k range at the time. The speakers were no less expensive and no doubt exquisitely hand matched to the amps. But here is where the joke comes in. The speakers were connected to a $200 dollar range bookshelf stereo hidden behind a curtain. Carver injected pink noise into the ultra stereo and displayed the result on a spectrum analyzer. He then set the bookshelf system to a moderate volume and EQed it with the same pink noise as input until it matched the spectrum of the ultra stereo. As long as the controls on the bookshelf were not tampered with, it's sound was good approximation of the ultra stereo at the same moderate volume. He told the audience that he had a top secret experimental system behind the curtain and wanted to field test it to ensure he was on the right track. With some audiophile grade vinyl classical as the input he switched between the ultra stereo (which they COULD see and were familiar with) and the "top secret" bookshelf system behind the curtain. Lo and behold! The bookshelf system had far better "aural spaciality.........." I've known salesmen who have done this same thing several times with the same result. I suppose this goes a long way toward explaining the audiophile aversion to double blinded A/B listening tests. Those A/B switches must introduce some truly horrible "multiphasic inhibited frequency shifts" into the signal.
