| Avantgarde Uno Loudspeakers: Comments? Count me with Swampwalker. Sometimes you guys are just SO *funny*! | |
| Feelings on Napster? As other's have noted "lawful" and "legal" are not necessarily related to "ethical." That this is so true really bites, doesn't it? I once commented to a trial judge that what was transpiring in his court room wasn't justice. Not the expected rebu... | |
| Feelings on Napster? There is absolutely no question that distributing copyrighted materials without the authorization of the owner is illegal. The law is VERY clear on this point and anyone doing it is in violation. But regarding Napster, Perfectimage is right. The q... | |
| Any high-end dealers care to respond? If we've disagreed in the past, Carl, then we've had an exchange of ideas. Nothing wrong with that, is there? Now, if you intentionally insulted me at some point and that's what the apology is for, you'll have to try harder because I missed it. Pe... | |
| Your 5 Fav Rock Concerts 5. Blue Oyster Cult (late '70s; State Fair Grounds, Beaumont, TX) - Hey, it makes the list just because it was a lot of fun. Hometown, open air stadium; way too cute girlfriend; appropriate substances abused. What more could you want? 4. Robert Pl... | |
| Best Solid State Amp For 10k Or Less They're little more than station wagons and make terrible off road vehicles. Subarus, OTOH, are great vehicles. There's no surprise at all that an Outback would out perform the Fords. | |
| Best Sappy Pop Music for Audiophiles While lots of the above apply, please add Journey to the list. Neil Schon is a gifted guitar player and Steve Perry sings ballads like few others are able. Having recently pulled a few of their discs from the archives I was also pleasantly surpris... | |
| Any high-end dealers care to respond? "Voting with one's feet" means going somewhere else to buy. | |
| Any high-end dealers care to respond? Here's some input from a sales-type, albeit computer software and not audio hardware. To start, remember that a salesman is going to be focused on closing the sale, not necessarily on "your listening enjoyment." His job is to move hardware and he'... | |
| Tinnitus anyone? LOL, Puubie. | |
| system matching help Have to agree with Rayd. Unless you want to make audio an avocation find a good dealer with which to work. The alternative is to spend a tremendous amount of time educating yourself on the market by reading everything in sight and auditioning like... | |
| TV bad why? Having no other option due to space limitiations my TV is between and behind the speakers (TV is against the wall; speakers are 4' out in the room and 6' apart). For serious listening a blanket is wrapped around the TV to minimize chassis resonanc... | |
| Tinnitus anyone? Working around heavy machinery, shooting guns, riding motorcycles, drinking too much coffee all contributed to my having mild tinitus. Luckily, my hearing doesn't seem to be diminished, though my girlfriend claims I have a slight case of "male sel... | |
| Your Best Hobbies (other than Audio) Having been seemingly born with a strong belief that life is to be lived, not simply endured, I have tried many an avocation over the years. Only a few have survived the test of time. In addition to music (30+ years), the mainstays are computer ga... | |
| HiFi is an opinion - nothing more Just tuned in after a few days away and this is the first thread I read. Nice welcome back. My first impression was that Larryh was just trolling. His first message, though surprisingly containing a few tidbits of truth, was a classic bit of bait.... |
