| Romantic HiFi Getaway Weekend?!? If you choose the San Francisco area, I think you and your wife would be amazed at the wine country, north of SF. I just completed a photo assignment there, and although San Francisco is a world class city, it is BIG and VERY busy. Wine country is... | |
| Your Best Hobbies (other than Audio) Alberta_steve, thanks for your interest. That is the big Morman Church in Salt Lake City, Utah. I was in Utah doing photography for the Ski brochure for Southwest Airlines, and got permission from the leader of the church to do that photography. T... | |

| HiFi is an opinion - nothing more Larryh, I make my living doing commercial and advertising photography, then I come home and attempt to make my stereo sound like live music. Do I succeed in achieving sound that is exactly like real music? No, and neither do my photographs fool an... | |
| Best Audio Related Story (or joke). One year at CES, when we were making our way down one of the hallways, the cardboard signs sticking out from the doorways indicate who is displaying in each of the rooms. One year the signs lined up, in such a way as to be irresistible. I commente... | |
| Best Audio Related Story (or joke). That story about the Jingle Cats is hysterical! I have a huge white Persian cat, and I've played this CD every Christmas and New Years for the last three years. My guests laugh, and my cat listens with a strange look on her face. It is priceless, ... | |
| Best Phono stage under $1200? Audiomat? The latest version of the Lukaschek from Switzerland, has a retail price of $1350. I do not think it would be a problem to find a dealer to sell one at the $1200.00 limit you set. This tiny phono is designed and built by Albert Lukaschek, the same... | |
| Best Audio Related Story (or joke). Ray, in response to your question in new postings, copied and pasted here at this site: Does anyone know of any collections of audio-related humor on the web? I miss the Lirpa articles in Audio (I know there are two listings on Audioreview). This ... | |

| What is the best DLP front projector? If I were going to spend that much money, I would buy tickets to Vegas, and see all these in person at the CES. If you are buying from a dealer, there should be no problem in getting them to obtain you a guest badge for entry. | |
| Attenuator puzzles This may or may not help with this topic, but I know of at least one manufacturer that builds a quad deck, stepped, single resistor in path, (balanced) volume control that he is preparing to motorize. This may be adaptable to other projects, depen... | |
| Advice on cartridges! For what it is worth, who ever Musikdok is has said exactly what I would advise, in every way. Readers here know I am an analog addict, and my experience with the Dyanvector arm, Dynavector cartridge, the Benz line, Koetsu and (listening, but to o... | |
| High Fidelity Sex Objects Hey, that was a low blow! | |
| Really good home electrical wiring. If I read your post correctly, looks like you still intend to order the Wattgate AC outlets. Is this correct? In response to your question about THHN, I think the insulation (and tightness of same) is perhaps superior to Romex. However, THHN is ge... |
