Grisslehamn, Miami in August will be pretty darn different from Sweden. Hot and muggy! Too much for this SoCal boy. |
To second Gunbei - Miami in August? Sorta like Stockholm in January - What were you thinking.
There's a local chain called Sound Advice which sells Krell, Martin Logan etc., and relies on name recognition more than solid equipment selection. The sales geeks don't seem to know too much other than look stunned when you indicate Krell isn't your first choice for processors.
Throw the DK integrated at 'em - that'll score you style points! |
yes, ive been to Miami before jul-aug '94 and in 12 other states besides Florida. |
well i love heat(like Oklahoma in July) and i hate Stockholm(i live here)in January
but this Jan was OK. |
Snofun3, Are you Gunbeis shadow ? Or a parrot ? |
Wanna answer first Rsbeck's question: How do you suppose a speaker cable would achieve this trick? Very simple: by getting a longer ones and bringing speakers closer to the listener:-). |
Fucking Great Marakanetz ;) |
I would like to change my first question to : is there a speakercable with very strong mids ?
Come on give me shit! |
Grisslehamn, do you kiss your children with that mouth? |
|
So Sweden gets super hot too? Must be that my SoCal brain had been filled with stereotypes of what Sweden is like. My Dad has been there a few times and loved it. A good friend of mine really loves the women there.
I don't have kids either, but boy would I love to raise some social deviants.
Grisslehamn, of the speaker cables I've owned the Audience AU24 brought the midrange forward the most. Cardas Golden Cross interconnects did this to an extent as well. |
Thank you Gunbei !
Well sometimes yes it can be rather hot here. And we dont have icebears on the streets.
Most Swedes are very friendly to Americans , and if you came to Sweden im sure that you will meet some nice ladies. |
Grisslehamn, Swedish women like American men? I certainly like them. |
I've heard interesting things about Kansas City. Apparently, they have crazy little women there. |
Rsbeck, that's why Ellery911 is gettin' the hell outa MO ASAP, heheh. |
Gunbei,
youre most welcome to Sweden ,take a cheap flight to Stockholm and you can stay for free in our apartment.
And you can have great time with Swedish women.
i would be great having an SoCal as guest.
Are you from San Diego or LA ? I have been to LA (stayed at Venice Beach) and San Bernadino. |
I live in LA. I work in Culver City which is very close to Venice Beach, but I've never been there!
Thanks for the invite! Work is busy, so we'll see if I can even get away to Mexico. I like Mexican women too, heheh. |
yeah, i know a friend (his 50 now) of mine often goes to austin tx to "south by south west" and from there to nueva laredo in mexico he says that the women there are "nice".if you know what i mean |
Sheesh. We should call this thread "Star Trek". That's because it has gone where no others have before it : )
Grisslehamn: I don't think that Audioquest makes a cable like you describe. At least not from my experience. If you want to try something inexpensive that may give you what you are looking for, try some twisted pair solid core 16 gauge copper wiring. If this sounds too lean to you, try some 14 gauge. Either should give you very clean mids with good treble resolution. The 16 gauge will keep the bass very articulate, but somewhat lacking in total weight. Nothing to blur or muddy the warmth region either. If you want a bit more weight on the bottom end, go to 14 gauge conductors. This will add more bottom end oomph, but may start to smear the extreme treble just a bit. Either way, buying enough raw cabling to build both of these would cost you less than any AQ cabling that i can think of. Hope this helps.
As a side note, European's have had a hard time in Florida in the recent past i.e. victims of crime. For some reason, the Germans get it the worst from what i've read. Try to speak with your best "American accent" and you'll probably be okay : ) Sean

Sean,
Germans get the worst of it because they're such crappy tippers. If someone has a German accent in your party, they'll put 20% tip on and dare you to decrease it, even for crappy, east Florida service.
It sounds like Grisslehamn has the hang of it anyways, and Scandahoovians have a very good way of fading into the background - best chameleons I've seen when traveling. My Danish buddies just say they're from New Jersey when someone asks, and no one seems to question it. |
I didn't know that muggers, robbers and thieves deserved tips. That's what i was referring to in my post, not being hassled or blown off by waiters and waitresses.
As to German's being "poor tippers", their culture / pay rates in the customer service industry are different than what we have here in the States. Until they can acclimate to those differences, they are doing what is considered "normal" in their culture / society. Sean
