Audio Flynn Posted December 4, 2004 Share Posted December 4, 2004 I hate to assume, for the age old reason, so help me out here. What is a headshell and what does it do? ++++++++++++++++++++++++ It could be something you whack with a drumstick... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Songer Posted December 4, 2004 Share Posted December 4, 2004 If you look at the posts in this thread in order you'll see that Guy asked a SIMPLE question: Why no Asian headshells? It was a GOOD question! Some of the best SME-type type headshells were made in Japan. I too was dumbfounded by the original post. The response to Guy's question was filled with vitriol and bile--just plain NASTY and combative. Maybe there's some history between these two that I don't know about and if so then I was shooting in the dark. Anyway, that's why I jumped in--maybe I shouldn't have but DAMN that response was uncalled for as far as I could see. In the end I offered a nice deal on an original SME headshell--isn't that what the original post was all about? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garymd Posted December 4, 2004 Share Posted December 4, 2004 Allan, I always thought I got along with A-man but last week when asking a serious question (serious to me anyway), I got the same kind of answer. This is nothing new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is nothing new.---------------- No, it really goes back aways. At least sometimes he used to be funny. He tore into me over the CBS Masterworks remaster of "Kind of Blue" (a staple of my musical education), when I said that I thought it sounded pretty good, and that I was glad that they finally got the speed (and pitch) right. He told me that I obvioiusly don't know a thing about jazz or the record, or music in general. All that despite the fact that I've been playing jazz for more than half my life, and own a nice original 6-eye of KoB (which sounds great, but is sharp and a bit quick due to the mastering gaffe). Whether or not I've learned anything along the way about music is not for me to say. This was surprising, though, as lately he's been well-mannered. At least when some of us get pissy, we have certain limits and a sense of style... BTW, learning to play Miles' solo from "So What" on upright bass is both easier and harder than you may think.

As far as "crapping in the wrong yard", you've lost me there. Allan some kind of sacred cow to you weaklings? Your phony *** political correctness makes me want to puke.

Either that or you're too obtuse to respond in kind. I don't know which, as the "crapping in wrong yard" reference was pretty direct. Reminds me of a bird I know.... BTW, for the record for those who may not be familiar with my way, my wife's first Honda was purchased new in late 96 for $12K and change (obviously Civic hatchback-nothing but air and auto). We just sold it a year ago for $2900 with almost 180K miles on it. Now, keep in mind we did put brakes and a muffler on it, plus a timing belt just to appease the purchaser's daddy, but still... Umm. Let's see. Have a clue yet, A-boy? (He gets pretty good with the name calling, so I want to see what he comes up with here...)
