Anyone seen "The Mechanic" with Jason Statham? There is a couple of scenes where he is playing an LP on what looks to be a high end turntable connected to a high end tube amp. Not my cup-o-tea but I thought some of the purists on here might appreciate.

Rob, I'd hardly term someone using such obsolescent audio technology a "purist".

Well...."Tube Head" maybe? "Snap, Crackle, Pop"?

purist, n, (ca. 1706): one who adheres strictly and often excessively to a tradition.

I believe you have a point there Bob.

I dub thee Sir 'I know how to use that word.'

Stop being so puerile.

It was insolent and impudent, not puerile.

Do you have a penchant for pleonastic prose?
Posted By: BobKay Re: The Mechanic - 08/26/11 10:01 PM
Succinct or not, it's never prose. It's too neoplastic.
