Honestly.
Damn are we honest today.


That's friggin' twisted. I "found God" when I was in the USMC and lost
a KY-57. Not a good thing to lose. I eventually found it, but ever
since then I've been an atheist. Go figure.....

LOL, maybe it was used in-between by the Russians.
God -to me- is an experience inside yourself that causes bliss, stronger
then all the reasoning and thinking we do.


Yeah, I like Tequila too.


But in those years (sixties) in the sense of
'well there must be one after all' and 'divine justice' etc.
Or 'There but for fortune go you and I'.
It looks somehow some people are destined for some things, it always works
for them... Others do the same and fail.
And noting in nature can stop that, or change that.
Maybe that is cunning, some sort of awareness.
Some become astronauts, some lose state secrets... some always end up
with radio / tv equipment....
Maybe we have no free will, are a playing ball of all other forces in the
universe, and can see in a clear moment where we are thrown.


Nature/nurture, fate/volition, divine destiny or a dumb luck.....
throw a handful of pennies in the air and you would expect half of
them to turn up heads but they usually don't. One thing you be sure
will happen and in which you can place your faith: They will fall.


So we should not blame it on Telstar if anything is wrong with his amp.
I have to admit his PCB looks the nicest of all the ones at that site.


If an amplifier worked on 'nice looks' then I might have a different
opinion. But they don't. They work on the well-established priciples
of electronic engineering.
