| It Might Get Load - documentary I enjoyed it - even my 9 year old enjoyed it. Interesting and new approach to documentary/filmed event. Edge admits to goofing around and playing almost nothing at all but his massive wall of effects units is responsible for much of his sound. As ... | |
| ipod into preamp OK? Use the ipod "lineout" not the headphone output. You can get to line out signal froma dock or from a cable that goes rom the apple 30? pin connector (these are really hard to find - I made my own). The headphone output is the wrong impedence - wil... | |

| Grado Headphones I have the same headphones and two headphone amps - cheap and really cheap - the new FiiO 5 is $20 bucks at Amazon - looks exactly like an ipod shuffle - charges from USB. And some other nice one that was $60 bucks - probably not made anymore. I b... | |
| RIP Jay Bennett The troubled relationship between Tweedy and Bennett is documented in the wonderful B+W film "I am trying to break your heart" (2003). Bennett always seemed to be jealous of living in Tweedy's shadow. What started as a simple "behind the scenes" r... | |

| Mystery side-firing speaker - Acoustic Dimensions? True - the list of stuff I've found at the side of the road is quite long and impressive (except to the spouse). Mostly speakers but some components too. I actually lugged these babies out to the street last weekend to get them out of the garage- ... | |
| Joseph Audio Vs. Von Schweikert Vs.? I bought my Joseph Audio RM22si right here on audiogon for under $1000 - such a deal!I like that they are non-fatiguing - sound good at low, medium and high levels. I traded up from a certain scandanavian speaker that was very detailed but also ha... | |
