One humbly submits that this hobby called audiophilia (computerised for better or worse) is ever a human journey… that can be undertaken alone. Over and above faith, science, politics and economics:
#FRIENDS ROMAN COUNTRYMEN LEND ME YOUR EARS UPGRADE#
or, maybe, just one little question: how does "personal preference" tell you if that last/next upgrade was/will be an upgrade or downgrade?Īnd so, maybe that is why for many audiophiles, "The Road Goes Ever On" as put (well) by J.R.R. nothing wrong, it is their right to think so. Perhaps, some have even reached a singular conclusion: that there are no "real" answers. Perhaps, pilgrims on this audio journey will have to accept that this is (still) an open-ended quest. it is also human to be resistant to change.
and, use the most personalised listening tools we own - our ears and brains.
This does not mean that one cannot/should not learn, adapt and evolve one’s personal perception of high-fidelity and audiophilia.īut only if one chooses to discover/understand and/or test hypotheses/science as related to sound, music (theory), sound recording + reproduction, computer science, audio electronics, acoustics, psychoacoustics, neuroscience, etc. So, that’s why CA-ers sometimes take things personally: it really is personal. Nobody can literally lend you their ears or brain (or whatever other parts of anatomy that enables one to appreciate "good" music reproduction) - yet. Antony was able to harness the public grief of the Roman people to his political advantage, igniting a civil war between Caesar’s assassinators and his avengers.…literary pensmanship by William Shakespeare in Julius Ceasar. Julius Caesar’s funeral was a political turning point for Marc Antony and Gaius Octavius, Caesar’s grandnephew and adopted son. Antony and his followers created the wax replica and inflicted the same 23 wounds onto its body to show the violence suffered by Rome’s beloved leader. The deification of Caesar at his funeral showed public adoration for the assassinated leader, while they paraded a wax figure of his corpse to create horror and outrage. This madness can be attributed to the work of Marc Antony and his political allies. The flames are said to have flown out of control, nearly burning the Forum down as the crowds moved against the conspirators. According to legend, the riled crowd threw branches, robes, jewels, and other possessions into the burning funeral pyre in their grief. Julius Cae sar was cremated publically in the Roman Forum. This famous speech has been recited and captured dozens of times, most famously by Marlon Brando in the 1953 film Julius Caesar. He roused the passions and spoke to the grief of the Roman people, resulting in lamentation and chaos. “Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears…” captures the same passion and emotion cultivated by Antony’s oration. While the speech he actually gave is unknown, Shakespeare’s version is often remembered and held as true. The intense public reaction to his assassination can be traced to his funeral specifically, as Marc Antony gave a stirring funeral oration to rouse the crowd. Often, Caesar is remembered simply as the ambitious dictator assassinated by the senators of Rome.Ĭaesar’s funeral was a massive event. Surprisingly, the play about the famed Roman dictator focuses far more on his death and funeral rather than his lifetime achievements. The end of his life is described in Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare. “Beware the Ides of March” echoes the tension of Caesar’s last day in 44 BC. The death of legendary Julius Caesar is brought to mind every year on March 15th.
