Irish descent, but oddly enough I live in an area of the world where I speak more French than English. Given enough time (and good wine) I suspect I could learn Spanish easily enough. Che... | |
| Zaikesman's Username Pronunciation Field Guide My user name, if you want to call it that, was my email address when I signed up at AudioGon many years ago. My address was jefflo@istar.ca, I changed ISP's several years ago but I'm stuck with this dumb user name. I wish I could create a new name... | |
| Pic of 100,000 dollar Von Schweikert speakers. CES There were multiple rows of chairs set up and admittedly I wasn't front & center. I'm not sure there ought to be a real "sweet spot" with a cavernous room and gear of that size/expense though... I suppose it all scales. I'm glad to hear you we... | |
| Pic of 100,000 dollar Von Schweikert speakers. CES I listened to them for a while. At first I was unimpressed by the set up; imaging was average at best, and there was no real depth or emotion to the music. The CD did not sound good at all, surprising since Oracle was supplying the CDP/DAC. Once t... | |
| Informal T.H.E. Show Report - Day I Dweller,I wasn't impressed with the Halco demo but do agree the ladies are primo. Go back to the San Remo and cross the street, you missed a few incredible rooms. The Von Schweikert (sp?) will be running a demo daily @ 5:00 that should be fascinat... | |

| headphone amp under $350 The Grado RA-1 was a very nice match with my Senn 600's and can be had for under $300. I sold it cuz I couldn't use my Nakamichi tape deck with the Grado in-line. Bought a Rega Ear that has tape pass-through and that solved my problem. I sure love... | |

| A serious blow to Canadian audiophiles, must read Interesting debate folks, a lot of different views of what is considered an old "problem". Canada has decided to stop filling the courts and jails with pot smokers and fine them instead, I think that's a sensible thing to do. I agree with everyone... | |

| Tube Amps and young children - avoiding burns etc. I'm with Jab, teach'em to respect stuff. Spend some time explaining to them what each piece of gear does, why they should leave it alone, and, that you'll always be happy to put some music on for them if they ask. Yes, that means listening to the ... | |
