European -vs- US high-end
natalie: wow! i guess canada's winning a couple of olympic medals has engendered a reinvigorated national spirit. best thing about canadian gear is that it's priced by loonies. :o) -cfb 
European -vs- US high-end
that's more than a little like asking whether it's better to marry a bulgarian or a hawiian. fact is, several of the highest-of-high-end u.s. manufacturers design their gear to match the taste of europeans, since that's their largest market. the s...

Jeff Rowland 7s Amps, verse Rowland 8T1 or 112 Amp
pctower: i should have been more careful in my post when i referred to the "model 6." what i meant is the current model mc-6. this is the multi-channel amp in the same size box as the 8's and 9's, configurable from mono to 6-channel. i never liked...

brulee: i guess if you're willing to buy into the "magical combination" of spectral and mit, you could be sold damn near anything. care to invest in the tinkerbell cables i'm about to introduce? (they have really cool micro-techtonic boxes on each... 
7500 for USED cables? Are they joking?
funny coincidence (or is it?): god came over to my house this past weekend. she loved the salsa and chips and taught me how to measure theistically, deistically and scientifically the differences among ic's, pc's and cables. 'course, you’ll have t... 
Why is 2 Channel better than multi-channel?
the recording industry is in turmoil just now. i'm sure many of you had stories in your local papers yesterday or this morning about the dismal state of affairs facing those for whom the grammy's are the equivalent of life's blood. worse, there's ... 
what made you get up & dance during the Olympics
as a denver hockey fan, my loyalties and emotions were torn in the men's hockey final. when joey sakic made the winning goal and was then given mvp honors, i wanted to apply for canadian citizenship. the best part of that game, tho, was when the c... 
Jeff Rowland 7s Amps, verse Rowland 8T1 or 112 Amp
twilo: i've heard them all on several varieties of speakers, including avalons, sound labs and audio artistry. IMO, the model 8 and 9's were the best amps jeff ever made. i've owned a factory-modified model 8ti for several years. i wouldn't trade ...

Dumb Question 36
steve you've made a slight mistake here. this is dumb question 43. :o) actually, as others have said repeatedly, repeatedly, repeatedly: ain't really no such thing as a dumb question, only a dumb cousin. but then, if you marry your dumb cousin....... 
HDTV Widescreen recommendations, please
if you want the very best, you're gonna need to save a few more euros. find a 38" loewe aconda to audition and i guaratee you'll be hooked (i have the 31" flatscreen, which actually has a better picture). i can lead you to a very nice discount fro... 
Any good "sampler" or "demo" discs ?
sean: i am pleased that you enjoyed my "thank you." (BTW, sean's "small favor" was, to me, much larger; he burned-in my latest 6 meter run of tara "the one" ic's for 11 days on his mobie, which i think is equivelent to about 1000 hrs. or more of "... 
tough sounds to reproduce ???
sean: if you can find the xrcd2 of "brothers in arms." you'll hear some well-produced thunder. and music. -kelly 
Would you sleep better at night if.....
gerryn: you need to get an interior decorator to design some really good-looking "socks" or multi-hued prophylactics to cover your ic's, so you can pull 'em outta' the walls. by doing so, you'd probably save at least 5 meters of required length. i...
