a simple yet stupid ? question
Sean, those warble tones, bass sweeps, etc...I happen to find them relaxing, almost soothing. I am not kidding.A while back, I broke in some equipment having left it on for about 10 days, at 24hrs. on quite minimal volumes. So minimal, even near f...

My wife saw Michael Bolton last night (07-14-'06) and swears it was the best concert she has ever seen.How can this be?This is not a joke. 
Can a component after complete breaking reverse ?
Timrhu you cruel bugger! -We still do this at our shop, and, I have discovered, that you can even zap a non-rookie, simply by throwing it at him while walking by. People, like dogs, like to catch things.I wonder if there is two aspects to all this...

Does it / Do they pass the wife test? Speakers
Gershman Avant Garde RX-20. They are 36" tall (not "in your face") pyramid shaped (unique) with a high gloss black finish (classy) accented by golden speakers (who has a wife that doesn't like gold?). They will fit in with most decor and most waf.... 
Focal or Blaupunkt
I have never heard Blaupunkt, but I can vouch for Focal. My sister's husband is a car audio nut and he had them in his last car. Sounded very natural, so unlike the usual "glass tinted" car audio.Mind you, he's a car nut in general....he had Gucci...

Please, DON'T TOUCH
Wifes friend has two boys, between 4 and 7 years old. They are rough, very hyper, and their mother's attitude is "let them grow on their own." Obviously, they are plants.Example of roughness: they were playing soldier, the older one threw a "bomb"... 
Unusually good power cord for the money?
You can't go wrong with Signal Cable Magic Power Cord. Amazing audio value. And at the price they sell for, a no brainer. 
Out of curiosity, where does everyone live?
Vancouver British Columbia, Canada. 
Spikes versus Rubber on wood floor?
I used rubber under my home theatre speakers (Athena s3/p3) and the sound was awful, affecting the bass the most.(bloaty, slow, and absolutely no punch, kinda like: bbllaaahhhhh) I used big heavy cones, and the improvement was immediate. Sorry, I ... 
Best way to find rattle in Talon Khorus?
I had a rattle in my home theatre speakers (Athena P3/S3)that was only apparent at low frequency, extremely annoying and actually very loud. I took the liberty of opening the rear of the sub (P3 part) and what I found was a cable that was resting ... 
red book
I thought "redbook" was what Danny wrote on the bathroom mirror when Jack finally went nuts.... 
Arctic Monkeys
Personally I do not like Arctic Monkeys, but if you want an excellent debut album (imo) by another 19-20 year old British band, you must listen to The Music. The c.d. is self titled. I have yet to listen to their second album.
