| How do you bi-wire? As long as the speaker is being fed from a single amplifier channel, you are bi-wiring. When the preamp-out is going to two (or more) amplifiers (per channel), you are bi-amping. Can't guess why bi-wiring from "A" and "B" terminals sounds better t... | |
| Underestimated, song, artist or group '' gems'' ? October Project: Intense, sincere female vocalsSunday's "Blind": Exceptional rock energy (forget sequals)Batdorf & Rodney: Solid writing/performance. Usurped in "Steven Stills wannabe" critics purge.Dust "Hard Attack": So-so production stunted... | |
| 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... | |
