I received an email from Brian Ackerman and one of the reviewers at Dagogo telling me this news. This crushes me, I loved Al and Margie, great people in every way. Al was one of those larger than life people who's personality was so powerful, I th... 
what does everybody think about 120hz and lcd's
01-28-09: Danmyers120 Hz is old hat. Now it's 240!Maybe so, but I only found a couple of TV's that were 120 Hz in 37" when I bought a month ago. 
Vinyl in Dallas
Half Price Books, Records and Magazines has multiple locations, great place to spend looking through used to see if there are bargains.The big store on NW Highway is overpriced and well picked over, the locations in Richardson and Plano sometime h...

I bought the new 37" LG Scarlet for the bedroom, it's 1080i and 120 Hz. After I readjusted the color it's stunning. 
Best way to convert adjustable shelves?
What type of mounting system holds the shelves? I ask because my components are all on adjustable shelves using KV brackets and 2.5" maple butcher block shelves. 
Another LP Crushes the CD
Nice thing to happen, especially when it was cheap like that. 
Are you in a MUSIC CLUB yet?
I've had a weekly meeting in Dallas, TX for over thirty two years. We are not selective as to a persons musical taste nor is it based on the value (or perceived performance) of members system.What's critical is a sense of humor, love of music and ...

Burn in question and evaluation before burn in
If my story is rare, lightning strikes multiple times. Audiogon member and good friend Louis (Logenn) experienced the identical thing with his Karma Exquisite Enigma's. As with my system, multiple people (about 20 in our group) visited both homes ...
