| Which components are "stupid good"? I know this will be dismissed by most as bunk because most super budget wonderfinds are usually a load. To me, the Play Station 1, as hyped in some circles, does actually sound very good. I'm not saying it knocks off mega-buck sources, I certainly... | |
| Sony Playstation 1 for a CD player ??? Made some "white lightning" speaker cables yesterday. I used the walmart cord, Lowes shrink tubing and Nakamichi banana plugs from ebay. Total cost was $19. The bananas were $5 for set of 8 including shipping from China. I had to stretch the 1/4" ... | |
| Newbie looking for advice... Let me get this straight. You are willing to pay $6 to $8k to make sure your wife will -keep- talking? | |
| Amy Winehouse.RIP ps- for anyone from atheist to fundamentalist | |
| Amy Winehouse.RIP For the theologians here, just a friendly suggestion: "Myths to Live By" by Joseph Campbellfascinating stuff | |
| Amy Winehouse.RIP Thanks Gawd. Although beauty is in the (ear) of the beholder, it should be acknowledged that inside the music industry, her talent was greatly respected. Even if no minds are changed and the horse is still dead. | |
| Pioneer SX-1050: worth repairing? Do you trust the shop who gave you the quote, or was this a manufacturer? Long ago I had one channel go out on my Rotel Power amp. I paid a local shop $20 to diagnose the problem. They told me that all the output transistors were blown and the rep... | |
| Sony Playstation 1 for a CD player ??? Just wanted to report that my PS has been 100% reliable. Despite reports of overheating problems, I have used it out on my deck many times for extended listening in summer temps without a hitch. Also, in totally stock form, I think it sounds excel... | |
| true confession Good show, Hot. As to the theme, about 20 years ago a friend and I observed that some tiny Missions sounded better than some other big speakers in a showroom. I was informed that they had blown tweeters. We listened again, they still sounded better! | |
| Amy Winehouse.RIP Read the first ten words of my last post. I never said it is my place to "tolerate" or not. Just that it is poor taste and bad form. This thread was obviously started for members to show their respects concerning the death of a human being.Maybe y... | |
| Amy Winehouse.RIP No one argues with your right to have an opinion about Winehouse's talent, even if it goes against most reviews, and comments from performers and other professionals in the music business. And you have every right to have a negative opinion about ... | |
| Amy Winehouse.RIP Cynic Chadnliz knows that Amy Winehouse was totally incapable of forming real emotional relationships and attachments, and any expressions by those close to her are obviously contrived for purposes of material gain. Reminding us that any "hardcore... | |
| true confession Hot, I suggest double up on hearing protection. Plugs -and- phones. I don't enjoy shooting in the heat, I rarely get a chance to shoot these days anyway. If your ears are ringing, and I've been there, you are risking future problems that could end... | |
| Amy Winehouse.RIP I disagree. She will be remembered for her early death -and- for her talent. All music is derivative, she was recognized in the music industry as someone who brought back a sound reminiscent of the great acts of the 60s with her own twist. She sai... | |
| Amy Winehouse.RIP Levy03 is spot on. For an example we need not look further than today's paper. Just look for events in Norway. |
