Could someone tell those of us who speak English what 'Here Here'
means? I assume the poor uneducated chap means 'Hear Hear'.


Having problems with the "English"language which might not be my first, but
some people always thinks is everyones first .does not make me uneducated

After more than a century of compulsory schooling, and our beloved
leaders mantra of 'education education education'; the awesome level of
ignorance in what passes among the Yahoos as learning never fails to
impress.

er yes bought a Croft Vitale
http://www.davewhitter.pwp.blueyonde...sc_pre_amp.htm

The other day and getting a couple of there power amps built for my
collection has some nice new ones out



Not a million miles out then! (Feck me, I just *knew* it!! :-)

Those Vitale pre's are the *dogs danglers* and cheap as chips, I know
that. I can't believe I never got one myself - I won't ever now as I
would/mebbe will build a pre myself (despite knowing ****-all about
electronix and not being am Injun Ear myself, an' all.... ;-)

IIRC, they have separate Vol controls for each channel which utterly
confounds the Yanks, I gather. (No surprise there...!!) Gives a you a
nice bit of 'balnce control' to square a (sonically) wonky room. Also
there are 'silent settings' on the IS, I believe so you dont blow
your brains out switching between sources?? All clever stuff.

Them volume controls are hard to use, drives me mad some times

Some people sell up after a bit, as they never get use to them


If I am good next year, as I can not get new car, still banned due to a
couple of mini strokes will be able to splash out a bit.

Nice CD player Naim Wadia or Krell could be on the way to my collection or

this pre amp no idea what to use it with just like it :-)

Keith I really think posts like this are unacceptable displays of
unpleasantness. If you can't stand the heat, just get out of the
kitchen - don't try and throw everybody else out - unless you really
believe that this is your kitchen, that is.

Turning red and stamping and telling everybody you don't like that you
wont talk to them any more really isn't going to fix anything.

You have a nice UK vinyl group of your own where you can go and
promote it to your heart's content if you feel this strongly. Now do
try and be nice - it is nearly Christmas.


The UKRAV debacle mades it very clear that vinyl and tubes don't sound good
at all to these guys unless they have more mainstream types to flaunt their
bigotry in front of.

Sounds fishy to me;-)

Read a fine book on this;-
(see www.headline.co.uk)
==
Alpha Beta

John Man
ISBN: 0747264473 Publisher: Headline 3/5/2001
£6.99 RRP Paperback
An alphabet is a system for organising and recording thought and the
very earliest letters, which demonstrate this ('a' was the first sound
of the Semitic word for 'ox', 'b' for 'house'), are still with us,
virtually unchanged across the millennia. And while the western world
today is divided by languages, it remains largely united by alphabet.
Where these letters came from and how they have evolved over the years
is more than just an academic exercise. John Man's ALPHA BETA tells a
thrilling story of adventure, passion and intrigue.

Is because I ****ING SAY SO!

I totally agree.

It's the height of arrogance and incredibly ignorant to assume that you
*know* that another person's perception of a subjective issue is wrong.

No one can claim to speak for an experience which they have not lived. You
are not me, therefore you cannot with any respectability, tell me that my
choice of hifi, cable, source - anything that I have chosen as preferable -
is wrong.

In matters of taste, no one can arbitrate what is right or wrong without
exposing themselves to charges of "pompous, arrogant ****" - hence my hifi
is better than yours P
