| OT: asbestos in vermiculite attic insulation Lugnut: The shingles on my former home were flakey as Bill Clinton. You could (and can) cause a flurry just brushing the surface with your hand. Keep in mind, the siding was unpainted and 50+ years old. I also remember in 6th and 7th grade our sch... | |
| OT: asbestos in vermiculite attic insulation In Chicago (my ex home town) there are thousands of houses completely covered with asbestos shingles (including the one I lived in for 30+ years...). And, BTW, aren't millions of cars, trucks, buses spewing asbestos dust every time their brakes ar... | |
| Worst remote nomination... Albertporter: Have you noticed that some chimp at Sony decided to make you push the button TWICE to actuate the function??? This bugs the bejeezus out of me (Japanese mind games?)... | |
| Deepest Bass in the Known Universe... Have they tried playing it in reverse? | |
| What was your first system, & did you like it? My first "system" was a white and green Zenith all-in-one record player. I loved listening for hours to Hans Christian Anderson stories. It was confiscated by my Mother, however, when I learned that my finger could alter space/time by speeding-up/... | |
| Calling Thiel owners please... I can't imagine breaking a spike on my 1.6's. I did break a speaker wire binding post (due to the hole drilled for bare wire -may I ask WHO uses bare wire???). I did have to replace a spike due to clogged threads, however (dealer swapped with a fl... | |
| Are you going to buy the Rolling Stones SACDs? Hmmm. Suffer Grace Slick's ridicule or make 300 million dollars, have fun and make hundreds of thousands happy??? Tough decision Mic... | |
| Sony 9000es v. Phillips 963SA - anyone compared? Muralman1: I believe a DVD-A disc can be played by any DVD player but not necessarily the DVD-A layer. They also encode a DVD only layer which is what the Sony would use. | |
| ARC VT-100MKII to MKIII, upgrade worth the cost? I love my Mk-III but wish I'd gone for an LS-25 Mk-II and a good solid state amp (Bryston 4B-SST, Gamut, etc.). Yes the $850 retubing charge seems like highway robbery! It's Upscale Audio for me next time around! | |
| Do You Remember Your First Music Purchase? "Love Me Do" - The Beatles | |
| Sony 9000es v. Phillips 963SA - anyone compared? Ears: Did an A/B tonight and Sony is clearly better SACD. Music was Hovhaness sampler (Telarc CD-80530-SA) recorded in pure DSD. Sony had better depth and detail, at moderately low listening level, was more relaxed and even throughout the spectrum... | |
| Patricia Barber at the Green Mill in Chicago I was born and grew up in that area of Chicago (known as "Uptown"). In it's day (30's & 40's) it was THE center of entertainment on the far north side. The Green Mill sits next door to the Uptown Movie Palace (if (pity) all you know are the mu... | |
| Sony 9000es v. Phillips 963SA - anyone compared? Ears: You missed my post dated 6-11. | |
| Are Audio Dealers Missing the Boat? Inna: Your comments remind me of my favorite (unspoken) remark to supermarket workers who butt in front of my cart, rude cashiers, etc. "Life would be much easier without those damned customers!". | |
| Sony DVP9000es Audio Settings Can you elaborate? How do you get to this menu and which setting do you prefer? |
