thebes Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 Welcome aboard. You'll like it here. Haven't tried SET yet but I'm working on it. Seems like the choice of the smart Set. Just read this Playboy interview with Ayn Rand and now I've got a big headache. I'd hate to think what would happen if I actually read Atlas Shrugged. http://www.ellensplace.net/ar_pboy.html Maybe I'll just start with something simple like Finnegans Wake and work my way up to it.

JOHN GALT Posted April 6, 2008 Author Share Posted April 6, 2008 So you are not really John Galt! PS. the humor in here gets weird if you haven't figured that out yet.....the correct ansewer is "Who is John Galt" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimer Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 the correct answer is "I love reggae, especially peter tosh and Bob Marley!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SET12 Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 S.E.T. FOR LIFE My foray into tubes came when my girlfriend introduced me to her stereo friend who sold stereo equipment in Champign/Urbana in the mid 70, two dynaco ST-70 kits and a Dynico PS-3 and a Transcriptor Saturn Turntable, and Fulton Model -80. I was into the stereo business. Several years ago my friend was moving and even though he had a semi trailer to move his stuff he did not want to move his 79 La Scalas. $900 later I was the uninformed owner of these things, a quick visit to Klipsch forum pointed me to a Manly amp, I'm in business again. You wear a manly T-shirt long enough and your going to draw attention, I met someone who introduced me to someone and the next thing I know I have replaced my x-overs with Bob Crites single A x-overs for the La Scala's flash back to the first time I read Adolus Huxlies's "doors of perception" This fellow acquiesced to sell me a pair of Don Allen SET 2A3 with three sets of tubes for $700. I am going to pick them up on Friday! Casual listner to Sterio no more! Welcome John S.E.T. For life as well! SET12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvel Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 Having re-read the entire thread, Ayn Rand was never in it until cut-throat's ignorant comment. Huxley was mentioned though.... I would say that Cut-Throat's comments weren't so far out of line. He caught who John Galt is...[*-)]Kinda funny, really, but I am easily amused.

oldtimer Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 So you also don't seem to recognize the difference between freedom and fascism? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvel Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 So you also don't seem to recognize the difference between freedom and fascism? Oh, I understand that quite well. I am just getting some enjoyment out of the Cut-Throat's recognizing the Rand reference. Not picking on you at all, either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pauln Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 Had "Gravity's Rainbow" around for the last 25 years, had tried to to read it a dozen times and never got through the first 50 pages on any attempt. Saw it mentioned on the net once where it became clear to me that this book has the reputation of being one that people start and never finish. The implication was that perhaps no one had ever finished it... Decided to read the whole thing late last year. Glad I did. Oh yeah, I'm in the SETs for life list.

greg928gts Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Wait till he discovers push-pull - that cracked me up!! SET for life here too. It's an appropriate phrase, because SET really does bring out the life in music. Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOHN GALT Posted April 9, 2008 Author Share Posted April 9, 2008 Yes I have to agree, I have heard two systems in the last month with S.E.T.and my ears have been opened! My friend has a set of chinese iron set ashe calls them, who introduced me to a different fellow with Quicksilver 300bset, and that was all it took, he also has a pair of Don Allen 2A3 set thatI am picking up friday! I am only going to use my pp for a doorstop! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik Mandaville Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 John: If I send you a great little doorstop I have, will you send me your PP amp? Kidding aside, I think push-pull can sound incredible, too. Erik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
