Does an ATI Paragon or a Heritage 3K sound better to your ears??
Just wondering,
-Nate
NATE, LET ME SPELL IT OUT FOR YOU.
IF I WAS MIXING ON THE PARAGON, AND YOU WERE ON THE HERITAGE
3K, THE PARAGON WOULD SOUND BETTER. AND VICE VERSA, IF IT WAS THE
OTHER WAY AROUND!
DO YOU SEE WHERE I’M GOING WITH THIS?
NATE, DO YOU EVER GO TO THE RACETRACK? DOES THE NAME CHARLES BUKOWSKI
MEAN ANYTHING TO YOU? I DIDN’T THINK SO.
DO YOU EVER STAND IN THE SUNSHINE AND SMELL THE BREEZE AND THE HORSE
PUCKEY, PLACE A FEW BETS, GET SOME SMOKES AND BEERS GOING, AND WATCH
A GIANT FLORAL ARRANGEMENT BEING DRAPED OVER THE HORSE IN THE WINNER’S
CIRCLE?
DO YOU SEE THE LITTLE GUY STANDING THERE? THE ONE WITH THE HELMET
AND THE TIRED SMILE, TRYING TO KEEP A STRAIGHT FACE WHILE THE WEALTHY
ALCOHOLIC OWNER AND HIS WAY-PAST-HER-CENTERFOLD-DAYS WIFE ARE WHOOPING
IT UP AND STAGGERING AROUND, POURING CHAMPAGNE OVER EACH OTHER.
THAT TINY INDIVIDUAL HAS GOT A FIGHTER’S HEART, THE WILL TO
WIN, AND A SPIRIT AS WILD AND FREE AS ALL OUTDOORS, NATE! HE’S
THE GUY WHO MADE IT ALL HAPPEN, WHILE YOU WERE SWILLING BUD LITE,
AND ASKING THE BARTENDER FOR MORE SNACK MIX!!!
WHEN YOU ARE SITTING IN THE BETTING PARLOR WATCHING THE INSTANT
REPLAY ON THE NINETEEN TV’S, DO YOU EVER ASK YOURSELF “SELF,
WHY DON’T THE HORSES RUN WITHOUT ANY JOCKEYS? WHY ARE THEY
NOT ALLOWED TO MERRILY HIGH-STEP IT AROUND THE TRACK, FULL OF LOVE
AND ADVENTURE, MYSTERIOUSLY MAKING A FREE-WILL CHOICE TO FERVENTLY
RACE AGAINST ONE ANOTHER?”
FIGURE IT OUT, NATE! THE HORSES NEED TO BE PUT THROUGH THEIR PACES,
IS WHY! LEFT TO THEIR OWN DEVICES, THEY MUNCH ON GRASS AND TRY TO
GET THEIR SWERVE ON! DO YOU GET WHAT I’M SAYING?
CONSOLES DON’T MIX SHOWS, PEOPLE DO.
THE WHOLE IDEA OF A RACE STEMS FROM THE TAINTED MIND OF MORTAL MAN.
AND WHAT YOU ARE ASKING, ABOUT WHICH DESK IS BETTER, IS JUST A MODIFIED
FORM OF THAT MINDSET, NATE! YOU DON’T WANT TO HEAR THE TRUTH,
THAT BOTH DESKS ARE GOING TO DELIVER RELATIVELY UNCOMPROMISED BANDWIDTH.
BIG ROCK SHOWS ARE LIKE HORSE RACES! THERE IS ONE WINNER
AND HE IS STANDING BEHIND THAT CONSOLE BECAUSE HE WORKS IT HARDER
AND BETTER THAN THE NEXT GUY, THE RUNNER-UP HORSE!
AT LEAST THEY DON’T MAKE US WEAR COLORED SILK COSTUMES –
YET.
LIKE THE POOR RIGHTEOUS TEACHERS SAY – “WORD IS LIFE!”
