| What stole your attention from HiFi? I haven't seen Dust To Glory, but it's definitely on my list now.Dana Brown and his pop Bruce have done some really neat stuff. I just watched On Any Sunday for the first time a few months ago and was completely mesmerized.Films like Step Into Liq... | |
| Warm Tubes I think it depends on the gear itself and not so much a general rule.The designer of my eXemplar Exception II recommends a 20-30 minute warm up before playing music through it and turning it off when not in use. Blue Circle makes a similar recomme... | |
| speaker with high WAF I agree, the Merlins are butt ass ugly. Definitely the Glock of loudspeakers. Butt, I kinda like th Glock look. | |

| What stole your attention from HiFi? Hey Slapster, good to see you again!Between spring and summer last year my '99 M3 had me turned away from audio for a bit. It went into the shop a couple times for some "goodies", and I just had too much fun throwing it around after, heheh. Plus, ... | |

| What music would you like at your funeral? Eldartford, isn't that one of the catchy tunes them astronauts were yankin' their crank to when they needed to submit semen samples in The Right Stuff? | |
| 12yr old NAD receiver or new? I agree with the above posts. A 12 year old NAD is a nice piece, but the cost of repairing it would be a large percentage of new modern integrated and possibly more than half that of a brand new NAD 320BEE. | |
| More personal effort in audiogon or our jobs? As Joey screams and spits in my face, heheheh. | |
| The Remodel is Complete Need a Little help Despite not having been able to hear your system in such a long time, you must be pretty damn happy and excited by the remodeling results.Having never gone through what you have and just plain not knowing any better, I think I would set everything... | |
| Dehavilland Ultra Verve Opinions ?? This is a preamp I'm very curious about myself. I just received an eXemplar Exception II which I'm very happy with, but the way the UltraVerve was designed to sound fits in with my taste.When I asked about deHavilland preamps in another thread, I ... | |
| Channel Islands D-100 Amplifier That's an impressive list. | |
| More personal effort in audiogon or our jobs? Joey, I like how Niedermeier got fragged by his own troops. Classic! | |
| What music would you like at your funeral? Constipation Blues by Screamin' Jay Hawkins or My Girl's Pussy by Ian Whitcomb.I'd love to see the looks on everyone's faces. |
