In the 1960s and 70s in Germany in every kitchen radio and TV set were Telefunken ECC83 tubes (12AX7 for you). At that time price in today's money maybe 2 USD. Today 500 USD NOS. …we have them in our basements here in Canada, lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deang Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 My first system was my Mom’s Grundig, which she gifted to me - it looked almost just like that. It sounded stupid good in my smallish bedroom. I think it may have been all downhill after that, lol. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KT88 Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 I did not know you had Grundig gear in the States? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deang Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 My Mom is German. I lived in Speicher until I was 10. I was born in Savanna, Georgia, but was only there six weeks. When we moved back to the states, I spoke fluent high German and Platt. My English was terrible. I can sometimes still understand it, but can no longer speak it.

Moderators Travis In Austin Posted December 21, 2022 Moderators Share Posted December 21, 2022 What’s “high German”. There are linguists from Germany who come to Central Texas (many very old German Communities) who come to study accents and pronunciation of words because they have been “lost” in Germany. Couldn’t believe it when I heard it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deang Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 That’s what “Platt” is. It is a dialect, sometimes a mish mash of several. My Opa did not like me speaking it. I just realized I don’t even know why. Maybe Heinz knows. High German is German proper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KT88 Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 Dean, is it this town? The only one I have found via google maps with the name Speicher. Speicher https://maps.app.goo.gl/3Pm2z8aWqTb6MngV9?g_st=ic Which Opa did not like the Platt, the German or the US Opa? The German Opa may be was from another region by origin? Or the US Opa had bad memories from war time in Germany? „High German“ I did not know this expression in English. But in fact it is a one-to-one translation of the German word "Hochdeutsch". And so it is also used in English as I googled. It means a dialect free language. Before mechanization, no one from Bavaria would have been able to talk to someone from Hamburg or Cologne, the very different dialects are a symptom of centuries of small-scale statehood. Everywhere small princes with their compatriots. In addition, there was a rather strict separation of Catholic and Protestant areas with peculiarities of language, further on animosities e.g. between Swabians and Badeners or between Rhinelanders and Prussians. It was not until the middle of the 19th century that there were national movements striving for unification. Until the beginning of the 20th century, Bavaria was still against it. Only with the invention of the radio the language became more uniform. The radio broadcasts came in High German, which was then learned in each region. But the Platt, i.e. the dialects, were cultivated for a very long time because it also strengthened the regional identity and does it still today (then most are able to speak also High German. I like that every region has its own sound. That can be quite different here within 120 km, in the U.S. you have to drive from New York to Ohio. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think High is in the South, and Switzerland, Luxembourg, etc. Low I think is in the North. They taught us this at University of Heidelberg but can’t remember. Something about consonants, T and P? ? 40 years ago, too much time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KT88 Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 In principle, the Oxford definition is correct with the influence of Luther's Bible translation. But what is definitely not correct is the origin of High German that is given there. This must be a confusion of the meaning of the word "high". But in reality it has nothing to do with high landscapes or mountains. And because we have high mountains only in the south it is consequently a wrong localization. The real High German is spoken in Hanover, which is the capital of Lower Saxony, and that is flat lowland pretty much in the north. High German means that it is spoken at a "high" level understandable to all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KT88 Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 Ok, I admit that the definition of Oxford can be found repeatedly. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_German_languages I did not know that. Our current accent-free High German has its origins in Lower Saxony. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
