| if i could trade places...... I'd really want to trade places with Frank Zappa, one of the true geniuses of our time. With his skill and knowledge of music and the top-drawer talent he always had assembled, can you imagine the possibilities? His work lives on, and continues to... | |
| Any mid-priced Receivers Worthwhile??? Plato, since you're a fan of NAD, check out the NAD T760, can be had for around $500 here on Audiogon. Works well with my Gallo's for HT. Jeff | |
| Who's Who in Amp/ Preamp design? Let's see, Montreal is a veritable hotbed of audio companies, and working in the semiconductor business I've met all of them, and helped with their designs. First gent that comes to mind is David Reich of Classe Audio fame, one of the most compete... | |
| "Tweaks" vs. Audiophiles Well, I've been in this hobby for 26 years now, and I'm finally recognizing that there's no sense fighting it. Logic has always ruled my decisions, but it's quite apparent that science doesn't always have all the answers. Yeah, I have marble under... | |
| What's your profession? Age? I'll be 40 tomorrow. Yikes! I'm the Director of Sales, I've spent the last 18 years in the semiconductor industry. As for my main system, I'd guess and say it was worth around $40k or so. Jeff | |

| XLR vs. RCA I changed my 25' run of single ended interconnect (premap to amp) over the weekend to Goertz Mircopurl Copper with Neutrix XLR's. I bought the wire and connectors from The Parts Connection for $325 and assembled it myself. Good cable, fair price (... | |
| SME III Tonearm: Classic or Dinosaur? The evolution of the SME arms were more feature oriented than anything, the series 4 and 5 borrowed heavily from the III's original design. I'd have to say the series 5 was a clear step up from the III, but, the III remains a terrific arm and assu... | |
| Before They Were Famous There's a Canadian rock band goes by the name of the Tragically Hip, from Kingston Ontario (roughly a 2 hour dirve from either Montreal, Ottawa, or Toronto). I've seen the Hip eight times over the last ten years, they are very well known in Canada... | |
| Best Martini s Jtinn, I'm in Austin right now on biz. Yeah, the martinis are like most things in Texas; big, and pack a punch. Cheers! Jeff | |
| Time for spring cleaning Got rid of most of my extra stuff, left with (8) 8' speaker cables and a Classe DR8 amplifier. Figured once I assembled my 7th system I really ought to slow down. Jeff | |
| dire straits -what to buy I can't live without Dire Strait's first live album, "Alchemy". I own all of Dire Strait's stuff, Alchemy is a must have. Double CD set, incredible renditions. | |
| High ceilings and hardwood floors I found a similar problem with my room, to compound the problem the rear wall was a large patio door with vinyl verticals. I considered selling the house upon first listen. I put down a large area rug on the floor, and hung heavy curtains in front... |
