| Who pays for busted stuff? sd: since you asked, the us federal crime of "mail fraud" constitutes the use of the us mails in a "scheme or artifice to defraud". 18 USC Sec. 1341. "...the term 'scheme or artifice to defraud' includes a scheme or artifice to deprive another of ... | |
| How much are you worth ? sd: in your analysis of the current state of highend audio, i think you attribute too much to perceived changes in our economic value system brought on by the now rapidly disappearing "techno-wealthy." there are a number of other variables that i ... | |
| How much are you worth ? sdcampbell: i think you're making things much too complex and judge your last post as close to pendantic. fact is, when i was a kid, we had "the $64,000 question"; now it's "who wants to be a millionaire?" -kelly | |
| How much are you worth ? stereokarter: i'm willing to bet the "babylon" you heard this am is by david gray; the best version of this song is on the kbco studio c , vol. 12 cd. very difficult to find but well worth it. otherwise, just buy the "standard" version. -kelly | |
| Best HDTV? mezmo: i sent you a private email. BTW, i find the picture quality of the loewe to be much sharper with better blacks than any plasma screen i've yet seen (and i've seen lots). -kelly | |
| Arthur Salvatore WoW comments?? this thread is begining to remind me of those sort of jugglers who would appear on ed sullivan's show about every third sunday, spinning multiple plates on skinny sticks. wonder, how long we can keep all our platters rotatin'? a little longer, i h... | |
| Cd storage..what's an audiophile to do? jdwek: know in advance that the finished basement in our house is, but for the laundry room, my exclusive enclave. (o.k., i do occasionally invite my bride of 34 years to watch a dvd or two). that said, i use 3 different cd racks, as much for aest... | |
| Cardas Caps Worthwhile? i have plastic bits that came with my accuphase dc-330 ($16.5k MSRP) to cover unused single-ended and xlr inputs/outputs. they keep the dust out of the innards. just like the ridiculously-priced cardas caps do (and nothing more). -kelly | |
| Best HDTV? i have a loewe aconda (30"), which retails for $3.6k. it's worth every penny, tho must admit i got a nice discount on mine. -kelly | |
| Arthur Salvatore WoW comments?? kubla: really ugly image, "buttering thunders up." can't help thinking of "last tango in paris." wait a minute...didn't arthur salvatore play a hitman in that movie? or was that the french connection? (just trying to stay on topic here.) -kelly | |
| Priorities, who makes the rules anyway? you can be addicted to audio gear or cars or drugs. it's when you crave two or more of these or other exspensive items that you need to set priorities. -kelly | |
| Best acoustical guitar - any type music one of my most played cd's is stephen stills, "stills alone." the last track, "treetop flyer," is an extraordinary performance, vocally and instrumentally. stephen was and is a great guitarist, especially on acoustics. -kelly | |
| Arthur Salvatore WoW comments?? wasn't arthur savatore the guy who had sonny correlone shot at the toll booth? | |
| How does one get off the merry-go-round? g13: most excellent post. i don't envy your staring law school soon. i graduated law school (univ. of iowa) just over 32 years ago. it was the most unpleasant 3 years i ever lived. i might have been voluntarily committed were it not for my music a... | |
| Maximum USPS Money Order is 700. garfish: actually, the interstate transfer of any forged or otherwise false or fraudulent instrument is a federal (i.e., USA) offense, which, if repeated, also subjects the perp to criminal or civil RICO charges. -kelly |
