Sunday morning, cloudy Sky and I thought to myself:“Let‘s talk with My Audiophile Buddy (MAB)


Me: "Hi, how is life?"

MAB: "Great. How is your girl friend?"

Me:" *Ahem* she left me"

MAB: "Hm. Why?"

Me: "I don‘t know. She was in a bad mood. In the nicely wrapped box the UPS guy brought wasn‘t the ring she hoped for."

MAB: "What was in it?"

Me: "a Lyra Titan"

MAB: "Pal, how many times did I tell you: Buy a dog."

Me: "Yes, I know....."(.in-the-next-5-minutes-i-got-more-life-aid-than-the-rest-of inhabitants-in-the-town-i -live... )

       "Btw. Do you know a Rhode & Schwarz technician?"

MAB:" Yes. Why?"

Me: "I heard from somebody who has a R&S Tuner which has problems?"

MAB: "PROBLEMS????????? 

          With a Rhode & Schwarz Tuner?  

          What‘s that for a guy?"

Me: "He didn‘t ruin it. He gave it away and that guy ruined it."

MAB: "Is that guy who ruined it, still alive?"

Me: "Yes. The owner is a tough one. But deep in his heart he is sensitive."

MAB: "I would shot him into the knee...

          Does he own a Dog?"

Me: "No. He has 17 cats"

MAB: "Huh?"

Me: "Yes. Each of his Cats has very cognitive function. 3 of them he uses to bite his neighbors. 2 of them he uses for sex. Another 5 are his private security team – they keep Jews, Negros, Mickey Mouse’s dolls and Homosexuals away from him. 3 other cats care his guns with him when he leaves his house to make his annual trip to pharmacy. Another 4 cats he uses for his weekly reinstating the Pharsalus battle on his kitchen floor..."

MAB: "THAT‘s a serious Audiophile."

Me: "R&S ...There is something with becoming sensitive to overload"

MAB: "shit"

Me: "Can your buddy fix it?"

MAB:" Are you joking? He was THE Technician for those tuners, he serviced those in the Studios"

ME: "Was? Serviced?"

MAB: "Yes. He is retired."

Me: "aha"

MAB: "I have to ask him"

Me: "Difficult job?"

MAB: "Stitch, do you have any idea how many parts are inside that unit?"

        (I knew, sometimes it is better to keep my mouth shut and learn....)

"There are more parts in it than your Stereo System has"

Me:" Hm "(silence...)

MAB:" Together!!! His service manual for that unit is about 800 pages....."

Me: "Can he do the job?"

MAB: "Of course. When he knows whats wrong, he can do the repair.

         And the calibration!!!!!! 
         He still has access to calibration station..."

Me: "Sounds expensive"

MAB:" We are born to suffer...."
