| Rolling Stone top 100 Guitarists - Howe/Van Halen Macdattexas- what's the link to this dubious "greatest list"? I already think I agree with your argument...smells like an injustice has been served. Would like to see who their top 10 are, however. Steve Howe is genius. Same for Eddie VH. | |
| Stylus wear question... Thanks to all... I can rest easier now and some of those responses (Viridian!) made me laugh. Rshak - I will check into "The Lift" Gosh, "Audiogon" what a great country!!! | |
| You know you're an audiophile if-- "You buy an album and clean, then play, the sides in numerical order."Audiofeil - seriously, you mean there's another way?!Gosh, I got some good laughs from these. | |
| Which Totem Speakers My room size and speaker distances are very similar to what you describe (though I sit closer than 9 feet away). I'm enjoying Forests in what another audiophile describes as "near field" listening. | |
| Vibrating Woofer, old tubes? No! didn't he play for the Detroit Pistons??!!Gosh - now I've been taking to heart audio advice from that person...mmm...got to think about this one. :-) | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? By the way, Slipknot - Thanks for starting a great thread. It's been fun skimning through here to get ideas for new music to check out. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? (last night)Robert Cray's "Bad Influence" & "Don't Be Afraid of the Dark". | |
| Pat Metheny Fans, Great Suggestions Please ?? Tvad - I agree with your assessment of ECM vinyl. That label is a credit to the recording industry. You don't have to spend mega-bucks for 180g vinyl or a hot stamper to hear good sound. | |
| Buying late model Samsung DLP rear projection TV? Mjcmt - I did check out the view from different angles along the horizontal...I'd say if anything, the 140 degree optimum is maybe a little conservative. I didn't have a protractor or anything - but you have to be way off axis before you notice an... | |
| Buying late model Samsung DLP rear projection TV? The unit we got was an HL61A750. I agree with Aggielaw...DLPs might not be as bright as LCDs (especially in the show room - if you ask me). Ask the sales person where the brighness, contrast and related settings are for anything you are watching. ... | |
| Buying late model Samsung DLP rear projection TV? Hey Mjcmt - Let me get back to you on that. I will do some "walking around" my unit. Also, I think when I was researching these I came across info relevant to this. If I can find it again, I'll let you know. As much a fan as I am, do go and look a... | |
| Buying late model Samsung DLP rear projection TV? Off axis viewing was a much bigger issue with early generation RPTVs. For me available screen size, great picture, visibility in high daylight conditions not to mention affordability were the important attributes leading to purchase of an LED-base... | |
| Buying late model Samsung DLP rear projection TV? Bought a new 60" Samsung slim DLP w/LED light source (2yrs?) ago from BB (interest free for 3 yrs). Really, really, really like it. Coming from a Sony SBR Videoscope 56" that was still going after 10 yrs. The Samsung is a great value in my opinion... | |
