Should I be offended if someone calls me one? We'll go ahead and answer the second part of the question first -- probably. It's possible the person may be comparing you to a mighty king and hunter of yore, but it's more likely that they're calling you a dipstick. The American Heritage Dictionary offers two distinct definitions of a nimrod -- either a hunter, or a person regarded as silly or foolish. The dictionary goes on to explain that the second meaning probably originated with the cartoon character Bugs Bunny. The wily Bugs used the term in its original sense to refer to dithering hunter Elmer Fudd, whom he called a "poor little Nimrod." Over time, however, the "hunter" meaning got dropped, and the "dithering" connotation stuck. Nimrod was in fact a Biblical figure -- the great-grandson of Noah. He was a haughty king who declared himself a "mighty one in the earth," founded the great city of Babylon, and presided over the construction of the mythical Tower of Babel. Nimrod was also a renowned hunter, though at least one source we found claimed his game of choice was not animals but men, whom he would enslave upon capture. Whatever his prey, his name became synonymous with a skilled hunter. from: http://ask.yahoo.com/ask/20040211.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The KT-77 is the same as a garden variety Mullard EL34 just as a KT-66 is the same as an RCA 6L6 or a KT-88 is the same as a Tung-Sol 6550. What a LAUGH! You are a MORON! The KT-77 was engineered and built my MOV (Marconi Osram Valve) and sold under the GEC brand name in the UK and the "Genelex" brand in the USA. Like our esteemed VP Dick Cheney says, "go f*ck yourself . . ." ---------------- "It takes one to know one" I suggest you go find another Forum where everyone is at the same intelligence level you are. If you care to take this one step further with the likes of myself I suggest that you put your money where your mouth is. Whats your balance sheet look like?

radiob Posted June 27, 2004 Author Share Posted June 27, 2004 Boy, it seems every time I ask for advise, it turns into a 3 page argument. Any way, is the golden tube audio se40 any good? I won the bid on one at e-bay. If its not, I sell it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triode Posted June 27, 2004 Share Posted June 27, 2004 bob, listen to the unit yourself, if you like it keep it. If you don't then sell it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tillmbil Posted June 29, 2004 Share Posted June 29, 2004 Wow, after reading all this I think I will change my monicker to "Daised and Confused". Audio SE40 - I think you jumped on something before doing good research. I personally do not know how it sounds, but it differs from what most on this Forum have...I think. Which does not make it good or bad. I agree with the other poster, play it and if you like it let us know. The Holy Grail is out there, but it has different names for many different reasons like : Music listened to, volume levels, etc. Not that I have even heard one, but if I had bought KHorns and listened only to low volume Jazz or Classical music I would be inclined to try set amplification first. Make sense? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
