Audio Demi-gods and Hi-Fi.

At least one personality I check out does not like the term Audiophile. There is a definite sneer to his use of that word. He uses Hi-Fi often.

I like that term. High Fidelity means exactly that. A high degree of accuracy and precision in reproducing music signals. It avoids the conceit of being an audiophile as well as reduces the weight of opinion. Another way to think about that is it is for the "testing people".

The idea of accuracy is codified by low distortion and noise, not by liking the sound. It was that the early designers were pursuing. Not a particular voice. The voice was on the recording.

In the 1950s to 1970s the hobby was about Hi-Fi.

The early designers of Hi-Fi audio equipment were legends. They mentored a second generation that climbed even higher. But as things developed low test figures were relatively easy to get under lab conditions. Things got more complicated.

David Hafler founded the Dynaco and the Hafler brands. He designed the Tube amplifiers that still influence the hobby today by their relatively huge numbers out in the wild. Later he hired some of the second generation of brilliant designers for doing transistor designs.

Stewart Hegeman worked for many companies including Dynaco and Harman Kardon and was the designer of the still coveted Citation tube amps. He also designed speakers and tuners. His Citation II tube amp is probably the best classic (late 1950s) vacuum tube design out in the wild.

William Zane Johnson was Audio Research. He kept the Vacuum tube banner flying after it was abandoned by everyone else. His SP3 series preamps were the state of the art in the 1970s. His D76 amplifier series sealed his place in audio Olympus. He preferred the results, the voice, he got with tubes though as FET ideas became better he drifted.

Arguably it was WZJ who nurtured the culture of the audiophile. He got the hi-fi test numbers, but many people just preferred the sound he got. (Include me there)

Those guys were the big names.

The second generation was evolving. Bob Carver invented BIG transistor amps with Phase Linear by using gangs of the biggest transistors he could find. He was originally a numbers guy. Later he proved he could make one of his not expensive transistor amps sound exactly like an expensive high end amp by fiddling with components to create a voice.

James Bongiorno left his mark on the Dynaco 400, the big SAE amps, the Ampzilla, and several other products that had in common big power and amazing fidelity. Great numbers.

Nelson Pass worked for several companies and left a trail of products that some people buy just because he had a hand in it. He is still kicking around in the mountains of California doing interesting things with transistors. He became a champion of good distortion. If you like it, it is good. Numbers don't matter.

I think this maps a migration of taste from being accurate to having a voice you prefer. In the same way the job of reviewers drifted from running tests on a piece to listening and judging. Publications were founded specifically because of that. Stereophile was founded by J Gordon Holt for exactly that reason. Later "The Absolute Sound" was founded by Harry Pearson because he felt JGH was compromised by the need to advertise in his magazine. Opinions became paramount.

I do not want to simplify the Hi-Fi problem too much. Lab tests can show two devices give exactly the same results. Those two devices can then sound different. One side of the argument says this proves tests mean nothing. The other rightly claim the conditions are different. Once you know it is good choose by preference.

I am an engineer. I gotta know why.

I own two radically different amplifiers. One is a high power full complementary symmetry transistor amplifier with global negative feedback designed in the early 1970s and modified a bit. The other is a legitimate high end medium power ARC Tube amplifier with FETs and power vacuum tubes running as triodes. It too has negative feedback. It is absolutely stock. (Well except for some test point access)

They are both high end, and high fidelity. They actually sound similar in the most general sense. They are pretty accurate. But they also have subtle differences in voice and textures. I go on and on about the differences, I seldom emphasize how small these things are. That is because, yes I am an audiophile and I notice this stuff.

Audiophiles can get fooled by trickery and salesmanship. So it is not an extension or a refinement of Hi-Fi. It is not better than Hi-Fi. It is a different perspective. If it tests bad it is bad.

What was I actually trying to say?

PS***

I should note that obviously I am talking about the North American Hi-Fi world. That is what I know. Very few products came across that ocean. In the old days. Those I know about are from the UK. Quad speakers, and electronics. SME tone arms. Some turntables. Oh and that DECCA phono cartridge. All were niche items. Oh and very good.

Aca Top 10: 80s Cartoon Themes — VoicePlay music video

youtube

The VoicePlay boys might technically be grown-ups, but they'll always be big kids at heart. So for their first "Aca Top 10" countdown of the year, they decided to revisit the joy of Saturday mornings spent in front of the TV with bowls of sugary cereal. Everybody sing along!

Details:

title: Aca Top 10 — 80s Cartoon Themes

original songs / performers: "La La Song" by the cast of The Smurfs (1981); [0:18] Inspector Gadget (1983) theme song; [0:35] Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1987) theme by Chuck Lorre; [0:57] Scooby-Doo theme by Larry Marks; [1:16] G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero (1983) theme; [1:36] Adventures of the Gummi Bears (1985) theme by Joseph Williams; [2:03] Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers (1989) theme by Jeff Pescetto; [2:24] My Little Pony (1986) theme; [2:34] "JEM – Truly, Truly, Truly Outrageous" by the singing cast of Jem and the Holograms (1985); [2:55] The Transformers (1984) theme; [3:14] "DuckTales" by Jeff Pescetto for DuckTales (1987)

written by: "La La Song" by Hoyt Curtin; Inspector Gadget theme by Shuki Levy & Haim Saban; Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles theme by Dennis C. Brown & Chuck Lorre; Scooby-Doo (1969) theme by David Mook & Ben Raleigh; The New Scooby-Doo Mysteries (1984) theme by Hoyt Curtin; G.I. Joe theme by Ford Kinder & Spencer Michlin; Adventures of the Gummi Bears theme by Michael & Patty Silversher; Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers theme by Mark Mueller; My Little Pony theme by Ford Klinder, Anne Bryant, & Barry Harman; "JEM – Truly, Truly, Truly Outrageous" by Barry Harman; The Transformers theme by Ford Kinder & Anne Bryant; "DuckTales" by Mark Mueller

arranged by: VoicePlay

release date: 30 March 2018

My favorite bits:

kicking things off with an extra dramatic fanfare

Layne's incredible ratchet sound and miming for the safe's lock dial in the Inspector Gadget theme

Earl giving an excellent Dr. Claw impression

the couch trio doing enthusiastic karate chops at the air 🥷 🐢

J.None taking over the bass line while Geoff sings lead

Layne making the pew-pew noises of the G.I. Joe lasers

Eli, Earl, and J delighting in how springy the couch cushions are at the start of the Gummi Bears theme

Layne and J crooning ♫ "my little brony" ♫ at Geoff while he scowls until he can't resist smiling anymore 🐎

Earl half-heartedly protesting at Eli and J singing the Misfits' part of the Jem! theme whlie he's wearing their signature colors / print

all the electronic-sounding elements they added to the Transformers theme

♫ "here in… Duckburg" ♫ ::quack:: 🦆

Gotta get in a bell chord somewhere, and that's a very good spot.

finishing on a joyful ♫ "Woo-ooo!" ♫

Eli quietly playing with a Transformer and Earl's enthusiastic "Cowabunga, dude!" in the outro

Trivia:

○ This was the first full-length video released on VoicePlay's YouTube channel in 2018. They started the year with a short video of "Happy Birthday", in between two collaborations they had recorded the previous fall that are on other channels — "Waving Through a Window" with Kurth Hugo Schneider, and "Look What You Made Me Do" with pocket.watch.

○ According to their replies to some YouTube comments, there was quite a debate about which songs to include or not, and "Thunder Cats was about a 2 hour argument. Shoes were thrown." 😆

○ Despite being very recognizable as The Smurfs theme, the version of the "La La Song" with lyrics was only used for the show's opening credits during season 2 in the U.S. However, an instrumental version was used for the closing credits from then on.

○ At least one of the guys came by his martial arts moves honestly. Eli studied karate from age six until he was sixteen.

○ For the Scooby-Doo theme, VoicePlay combined the original 1969 song from Scooby-Doo, Where Are You? (which was still airing in reruns) with some jazzier elements from the 1984 New Scooby Doo Mysteries opening.

○ The silliness in the YouTube description for this one is another misheard lyric — "JIM is truly outrageous / Truly Truly Truly outrageous / Woh oh oh JIM - JIM!!!" // "That's such a weird song. Who the heck is Jim anyway..?"

○ The guys' shirts reflect some of their childhood favorites:

Eli — Scrooge McDuck from DuckTales half-buried in the gold pile in his money vault with the inscription "living the dream"

Earl — Ultimate Warrior (WWF / WWE) facepaint, sort of referencing Hulk Hogan's Rock 'n' Wrestling, though the show was cancelled before that character could appear; bonus charteuse zebra-print leggings for The Misfits from Jem! and the Holograms

J.None — face masks of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (which aired into the mid-90s for the younger guy)

Geoff — Autobot mask symbol from The Transformers

Layne — Rainbow Dash from My Little Pony (a slight cheat with a character from the 2010s series, but probably inspired by one or more of his daughters). I cannot for the life of me figure out where that specific design came from, but I found a couple close-ish approximations.

○ Layne posted some videos of both the final rehearsal and cleanup process on his Instagram.

A victim of his own anger, the Kid is a Minneapolis musician on the rise with his band, the Revolution, escaping a tumultuous home life through music.

COVER REVEAL! Something Unexpected by Author Vi Keeland releases July 3! A new, sexy standalone from #1 New York Times Bestseller, Vi Keeland. Pre-order today! Apple Books: https://apple.co/3MSAFr3 Paperback: https://amzn.to/3KVZeQX Cover Design: Sommer Stein, Perfect Pear Creative Model: David J. Harman Add to your Goodreads TBR ➩ https://bit.ly/41oaPzq When my grandmother found out she didn’t have long to live, she embarked on a crazy trip—jumping out of airplanes and scuba diving with sharks. After I repeatedly voiced my concern, Gram blocked me—her own grandson—on text and social media, leaving me only her travel companion Eleanor’s number. Eleanor started sending me pictures of Gram’s adventures. At first she seemed nice, but when I attempted to persuade her to talk some sense into her friend, she told me where I could stick my advice. After that, photos arrived with snarky comments, and Eleanor and I got into it on more than one occasion. When I heard Gram’s upcoming plans were more dangerous than ever, I hopped on a plane. Since I arrived late, I headed to the bar for a drink, figuring I’d surprise her in the morning. To my delight, I met a gorgeous woman looking for a no-strings-attached night. Nora was just what I needed. She invited me back to her room, telling me to give her a ten-minute head start. But when I went to pay her bar tab, I realized how much she’d had to drink. As much as I wanted to ignore it, I couldn’t. So I stood Nora up. I knew she’d be pissed, but I also knew I’d never see her again. Except never came a little early. Namely, the next morning when I went to meet my grandmother and her evil-spinster friend. Because old Eleanor turned out to be young Nora from last night. And if I thought the woman disliked me before, that was nothing compared to how ticked-off she was now. Or how unhappy she was going to be that their party of two was about to become a party of three.

The Squid Cinema From Hell: Kinoteuthis Infernalis and the Emergence of Chthulumedia, by William Brown, David H. Fleming, Edinburgh University Press, 2020. Info: edinburghuniversitypress.com.

Here be Kraken! The Squid Cinema From Hell draws upon writers like Vilém Flusser, Donna J. Haraway, Graham Harman and Eugene Thacker to offer up a critical analysis of cephalopods and other tentacular creatures in contemporary media, while also speculating that digital media might themselves constitute a weird, intelligent alien. If this were not enough to shiver ye timbers, the book engages with contemporary discourses of posthumanism, speculative realism, object-oriented ontology and animal studies to suggest that humans are the products of media rather than media being the products of humans. Including case studies of films by Denis Villeneuve, Park Chan-wook and Céline Sciamma, The Squid Cinema From Hell also provides a daring engagement with various media beyond cinema, including literature, music videos, 4DX, advertising, websites, YouTube, Artificial Intelligence and more. Zounds! This unique and Lovecraftian book will change the way you think about, and with, our contemporary, media-saturated world. For as we contemplate the abyss, the abyss looks back at us – and chthulumedia, or media at the end of human times, begin to emerge.

Contents: Acknowledgments Beaky prepostface 1. Introducing the End 2. Pulp Fiction and the Media Archaeology of Space 3. Encounters with a 4DX Kino-Kraken 4. Actorly Squid/Sets and Cephalopod Realism 5. The Erotic Ecstasy of Cthulhu 6. Cosmic Light, Cosmic Darkness 7. The Backwash of Becoming Cthulhu, Or, L∞py, Tentacular Time 8. From the Modern Prometheus to the Modern Medusa

Moral Relativism For Breakfast

“ Moral relativism is an important topic in metaethics. It is also widely discussed outside philosophy (for example, by political and religious leaders), and it is controversial among philosophers and nonphilosophers alike. This is perhaps not surprising in view of recent evidence that people's intuitions about moral relativism vary widely. Though many philosophers are quite critical of moral relativism, there are several contemporary philosophers who defend forms of it. These include such prominent figures as Gilbert Harman, Jesse J. Prinz, J. David Velleman and David B. Wong. The term ‘moral relativism’ is understood in a variety of ways. Most often it is associated with an empirical thesis that there are deep and widespread moral disagreements and a metaethical thesis that the truth or justification of moral judgments is not absolute, but relative to the moral standard of some person or group of persons. Sometimes ‘moral relativism’ is connected with a normative position about how we ought to think about or act towards those with whom we morally disagree, most commonly that we should tolerate them.”

-Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy

“...a normative position about how we ought to think about or act towards those with whom we morally disagree.”

Therein lies the problem. Just who in the ever-living FUCK determines just what the “normative” position is, and why in the world would anyone think they have the moral high ground enough to think for one second they have ANY business deciding how ANYONE ought think or act about ANY moral stance?

The so-called liberal minded academia is failing us in the U.S. due to unclear definitions provided in certain institutions of higher learning, mainly between this version of moral relativism and critical theory. Yes, there is a certain line of rhetoric involved in this statement and NO, that does not automatically make it invalid and certainly not conservative. The closest meandering we as humans have to “truth” is by way of inherently abstract language in forming definition, a common basis of understanding that we assign meaning. By it’s very definition,seeking or finding truth in any matter requires a higher degree of objectivity as opposed to subjectivity, or NO moral standing could possibly exist.

In other words, truth isn’t based on what the groupthink of the time dictates (ya know, spewing the party line, determining who is on your team or not). Truth is based on the empirical fact of the matter, not the empirical “theory” favored by those who are regurgitating propaganda for the sake of maintaining funding. The purpose, nay, the MISSION academia is charged with here is not the propagation of truth but the encouragement of individuals to contribute to the further definition of said truths.

Yeah, dude, The Enlightenment, it was a thing, derp.

Author’s note: reblogging of this post must be done in its entirety, creative editing will get you blocked and reported. Not that I believe anyone will reblog it, let alone enter the conversation. Because look, CATS, lol.
