In Reply to: RE: Simaudio 820S, Part 26 posted by Aaron 01 on February 14, 2021 at 07:12:36:
When I entered UCSC in Fall 1989, Simaudio called themselves "Celeste" or "Moon." They claimed they were founded in 1980, by a Victor Sima. Then it made sense, why they were "Simaudio."
Anyway, a brunette coed down the hall from me was named Celeste. She was kind of thick-bodied, like a moon. Depending on class schedule, she seemed to like taking a shower in the late morning. FWIW, that was a time of day, when the restroom wasn't in high use. Celeste would carry toiletries in one hand, and a towel in the other. She wouldn't drape the towel, to cover her body. So yes, she was au naturel.
If you passed by, Celeste would stop, and carry on a conversation, as if everything were normal. When it came to ethnicity, she rattled off a few European countries, but claimed that the highest percentages were German and Italian. French was on her list, so when I put "Celeste," her big bare moon, and "French" [Simaudio were from French-speaking Quebec], the audio dweeb in me thought positively of Simaudio.
No, if you quizzed the college-aged Lummy, he would not have predicted owning Simaudio gear, and certainly none this expensive. So far, how is the 700i treating you? Our 600i just goes about quietly, and we mentally forget it is there. For us, that is high praise, but for other audiophiles, that is underwhelming.
From my last visit to the UCSC campus, what was once part of the Great Meadow has been converted to soccer fields. The benches overlooking the field and Monterey Bay are still there. Moreover, they were clean, without the graffiti of the early-90s.
