I've seen that scene before on the Discovery Channel when a pygmy got eaten by a green anaconda.
Interesting, one of those was on the wrong continent.
They're no Pygmy's in South America
And they're are no Anacondas in Africa...

That is a noise filter.
Can’t remember who made them but I had a few.
Most of the time you saw them on the rear of audio gear like preamps, disc players and the rest.
They’re put on unused input/output jacks.
I never heard a difference. -
Cannot find a picture of them or who makes them but they’re kinda like the NCF Filter things from Furutech….
Furutech NCF Clear Line.
They can be configured for rca, XLR and other types of audio plugs.
Never seen it used on a speaker? -

In 1976, I ventured into an Audi-Porsche Dealer in Marietta (only one in the Atlanta area in 1976). I knew hardly anything about Porches except while attending college one of my math professors owned a black mid 60's Porsche that was very cool. I spotted this bright yellow car that I immediately liked. I was offered the chance to test drive the car and take it to my house about 8 miles away to show the wife who thought the car was too bright and pretentious. Never mind, the car became mine, and she learned to love it.The car was a Porsche 912E exactly like this one:
(Not my car as no digital pics in 1976 - Picture from internet)
The 1976 912E (2000 built) was built especially for American buyers in the 14 months between the discontinuation of the mid-engined 914 in 1975 and the introduction of the front-engine 924 in 1977. To bridge this year-long gap with no base model to sell, Porsche decided to take the Volkswagen-based, air-cooled flat-four that had lived in the engine bay of the U.S.-spec 914, slap it into the rear of a 911 body, and sell it at a significant discount.
The resulting car was the 912E ($10,900 in 1976), which retailed for three grand less than a 911S while still offering the style and handling of one (albeit with roughly half the horsepower of 86 @ 4,900 rpm). It was immediately discontinued after the introduction of the 924, and thus is Porsche’s only car ever built with planned obsolescence in mind.
I kept the car for about a year, and sold it to a guy from California. I wish I still owned it.
They had a run of 912's back in the 1960's... basically the same concept. They were withdrawn in favor of the 914 as the entry level car. By 1975, Stuttgart had decided to replace the 914 with what they saw as the outgoing 911 for a short period of time until the 934 was ready, with that E variant being somewhat akin to the Honda Civic getting the SE model. The 911 herself was to be replaced with the 928, but somehow the 911 soldiered on...The Gear...

I was referring to an old fish of mine. He was huge and loved to be petted. He had the best personality of any fish I have ever had....or will ever again.

I used to love my fish tanks. Started with African Cichlids, then moved to salt water. At my peak I had 2x 60g, one 55g, a 30g and a 20g (sick tank). Always wanted a reef tank, but I couldn’t afford the lighting or the chiller…“Human beings are born with different capacities. If they are free, they are not equal.

You've gotta ask yourself:
So... some guys (and you know it was guys) were out drivin' around in their BYD, drinkin' beer. They stopped somewhere in the middle of nowhere. One of them raised his bottle towards the abyss and said*
"You know what? This would be an amazing place to put a bridge!"

Thx. First time I've seen it so just wondering. It was in a biwiring thread in the Salk forum at Audio Circle.

The wife had one. Kewl fish! It was so tiny when she got it and grew into something huge. My job was cleaning the 55 gallon aquarium, often. lolSalk SoundScape 8's * Audio Research Reference 3 * Bottlehead Eros Phono * Park's Audio Budgie SUT * Krell KSA-250 * Harmonic Technology Pro 9+ * Signature Series Sonore Music Server w/Deux PS * Roon * Gustard R26 DAC / Singxer SU-6 DDC * Heavy Plinth Lenco L75 Idler Drive * AA MG-1 Linear Air Bearing Arm * AT33PTG/II & Denon 103R * Richard Gray 600S * NHT B-12d subs * GIK Acoustic Treatments * Sennheiser HD650 *
