What time do you wear?
I just bought a Hamilton Jazzmaster GMT auto. My intention was to buy a Hamilton Intramatic. My local dealer didn't have one with a bracelet so I decided I'd order one. I asked the guy which bracelet would come on the watch and he handed me the GM...

That's a big Marriott. I stayed there about 5 years ago while working in Dumbo. 
How do Ohm Walsh speakers compare to Maggies?
I have a few questions about Ohm Walsh Talls. How sensitive are these speakers to placement near a rear wall? Do they require more than say 18"? How about the sweet spot, is it large, meaning do I have to break out a tape measure to position my ch... 
Audiophile music
This is a very vague question. A lot of audiophiles actually are hard core music aficionados. Then again some listen to certain tracks of so-called audiophile music. It really doesn't matter either way. If you struggle to find music to listen to f... 
Herbie Hancock best recordings
I asked a question years ago about great piano recordings. I was introduced to Herbie Hancock 'The Piano' and it is absolutely amazing. Google search this release but understand that Wikipedia doesn't give you much information at all. This was a d...

On. Can't hear a difference and they look much better. 
Can the Hegel H300 compare to the Ayre AX-5?
I replied to your earlier post but I'll reply here as well. Nobody will be able to answer this question. I own a Hegel H200 and I liked it better than the Ax-7 and Ax-5 but that was in my system. I've heard both Ayre's sound better than my system.... 
Can the Hegel H300 outperform the Ayre AX-5?
I've heard both and it's without a doubt personal preference in your environment. I actually ended up with a Hegel H200 over the Ax-7 and Ax-5. I heard both the 7 and 5 sound better than my Hegel, but not at my house with my other components. The ... 
Walking Into A Brick & Mortar High End Audio Store
I had mentioned early on in this thread that if you walk in, I'm sure a large percentage end up buying if they didn't intend on buying. Cajunpepe did this the same thing with 300k worth of Audi's. (Good man. Never liked the bimmers and I did own o...

What's your favorite lyric from a song?
He hears the ticking of the clocksAnd walks along with a parrot that talksHunts her down by the waterfront docks where the sailers all come inMaybe she'll pick him out again how long must he waitOne more time for a simple twist of fate. 
--- have you ever seen these speakers before???
I thought Sherwood was the absolute bottom of the barrel, as in sold at Walmart and Rat Shack and possibly a line of clock radios at the drug store. I'm not trying to be funny here. 
Atlantic City casinos closing...
"Who on earth wants to drive 45 minutes to gamble? I just don't get it at all. "What I mean by this is who wants to drive to a single casino in the middle,or nowhere. The beauty of places like Vegas and AC is that you can casino hop and the area o... 
Atlantic City casinos closing...
They keep proposing more casinos in Upstate NY where I live and most people don't want them. If they build them there will be a bunch of partially filled dumpy casinos around. I don't gamble but I've been to Vegas and AC and part of the fun was pa...
