Any Young Audiophiles Out There?
Hey everyone, don't believe Nicksgem10s for a minute. He's actually 54 but just ACTS like he in his 30s. His system is an old Sony Walkman (yes, the cassette type) with stock headphones and he listens to the Cowsils, the Partridge Family and old D... 
Wilson Sophia 2's on Marantz Reference
Thank God someone finally settled this purely objective debate. I can now sleep better knowing that Butter Pecan is clearly better than Rocky Road.Due to this revelation, I called my buddy who just purchased the Sophia IIs (for his second system o... 
Predicting the AGon economy?
I am glad I saw this post. I thought I was the only one who thought many of the recent sellers were a bit . . . well. . . "optimistic" (to be politically correct) or more likely down right outta touch with reality (if not). I've even seen a number...

AC/DC Black ice
Shadorne, my wife is from Texas and has some horror stories about black ice. Sadly though, it's not strictly a Southern phenomenon as we in the North have to deal with not only icy overpasses on freeways but that old dreaded "freezing rain" which ... 
AC/DC Black ice
Damn, I am not a real R&R kinda guy so I got all excited from the subject line of this thread thinking that this was some super duper, pixie dust, turbo-charged, flexible alternative new power conditioner! 
My brother dips a toe back into rock music
GREAT post,I EMPHATICALLY suggest the following three artists for new music:1. Chris Jones "Roadhouses and Automobiles" (FABULOUS and fits the bill for what your brother is looking for)2. Alexi Murdoch "Time Without Consequence"3. Judith Owen "Los... 
rockport altair any informed opinions?
Trust me, it is worth every mile of a 5-6 hour drive and, at least for my preferences, one of the few ultra high end mega-buck speakers actualy worth the price of admission. Even if you don't end up likng them (unlikely IMHO if you love music), yo... 
Legal & Ethical Questions in the PC Audio Age
Tomcy6,Personally, while I do agree that compassion and concern for your fellow man are worthy and admirable goals, your apparent condescension that us "supremely ethical people" are somehow hypocritical or unethical because we are buying stereo g... 
Legal & Ethical Questions in the PC Audio Age
Kijanki,LOL!! Can you send me a kosher ham? '-) On second thought - send it along with a few hundred CD-Rs of your favorite CDs!!!!! On your second post, it is not the READING of the copyrighted work that is illegal, it is the unauthorized COPYING... 
Legal & Ethical Questions in the PC Audio Age
John,I am definitely NOT an unadulterated optimist or idealist. However, if I choose to act ethically that doesn't mean I am an idealist. I work as in-house counsel having left private practice because I saw SO much unethical behavior. But if I th... 
Legal & Ethical Questions in the PC Audio Age
Hey John,Don't even get me started on government ethics (now talk about an oxymoron) or the lack thereof! John, all I can say is that when we lose hope and look at our leaders and and point to their lack of ethics as a reason for us to justify act... 
Legal & Ethical Questions in the PC Audio Age
In my last post, the story about George Lefcoe is a public story published in various ethics textbooks. In my post that paragraph ended as follows:"I know this type of act looks benign but this is how we[sic] go further and further down that slipp... 
Legal & Ethical Questions in the PC Audio Age
Shadorne, if I ever doubted that I liked your opinions and philosophies before, (which I didn't), I will never doubt again. I applaud you for taking the high road and telling it like it is. Not to be prudish or stuffy, but by day my work brings me...
