Technical and scientific discussion of amps, cables and other topics.

...and I did not save a copy. Basically I faulted your diamond analogy on two fronts: the jewelry equivalent in audio would be Krell and I know only one person (out of hundreds) who is hooked; and DeBeers did not institute apartheid -- that came much later.

"Following independence from England, an uneasy power-sharing between the two groups held sway until the 1940's, when the Afrikaner National Party was able to gain a strong majority. Strategists in the National Party invented apartheid as a means to cement their control over the economic and social system. Initially, aim of the apartheid was to maintain white domination while extending racial separation. Starting in the 60's, a plan of ``Grand Apartheid'' was executed, emphasizing territorial separation and police repression."

The father of my first great audio bud wrote the slogan, "A diamond is forever".
