If I like something I can listen to it over and over while I'm working. No I do not sit and listen to the same thing at home...there i... | |
| What piece of music can you play over & over? I listen to different music. As for the operas, recent operas I was stuck on are Turnadot and aftet that one I switched to Shostakovich's Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk. Speaking of a complex opera. Try this one. One of my favorite. | |

| Mitsubishi DLP problem $1800? Hell yeah I am glad I have opted for that extended warranty. The tech said optical engine and also mumbled some other words that meant very little to me. Interesting...you are probably right though, optical engine and light engine could be ... | |

| Pre Amp + Amp to run B&W 803S you bought speakers that require a very high quality amplifier. B&Ws will sound terrible if you use the amp that is not totally up to the level of the speakers. This is the biggest disadvantage with B&Ws - they require top notch amplificat... | |
| best classical redbook cds for strings and piano I'll try to make suggestions so the performance and sound quality is balanced, not always ideal, but at least acceptable. Here it is:Hilary Hahn - "Hilary Hahn plays Bach" Midori - "French Violin Sonatas"Mstislav Rostropovich, Benjamin Britten - "... | |

| AC/DC Black ice very harsh comments about Metallica's "Death Magnetic". Only major issue I see is recording quality, but calling it unlistanble is a bit too harsh, IMO. I enjoy it. More so than the new AC/DC.I have not picked up the new G n R yet.As far as AC/DC'... |
