| Best Zip Code for Perfect Life Better yet, move north of Montreal, to the Laurentian mountains. 60 minute drive to Montreal, awesome women, terrific beer, good audio dealers, incredible food, bad hockey team. | |
| Best Zip Code for Perfect Life Seems like New England may fit the bill, perhaps Vermont? Limited high end dealers there, but it's not too far a drive to New York or Montreal. Dealers, ladies, great food available in either NYC or Mtl. Another option is New Hampshire, but with t... | |
| Your Best Hobbies (other than Audio) I play hockey and ski in the winter, and golf in the summer. I'm a car guy too, I like to tinker with my '89 Toyota Supra Turbo, and drive my 2001 Acura 3.2 TL Sport way too fast. | |
| HiFi is an opinion - nothing more A VW Beetle as a dedicated listening room? I'm intrigued by the concept *L* | |
| Attention Deficit Disorder Audiophilia I'm with these guys, damn, forgot their names. If the wife keeps berating you, trade her for a top notch turntable and get yourself a dog. | |
| Love of MUSIC or love of GEAR Greetings from a fellow Canuck! Your post here is well thought out, hard to find a lot of fault in your reasoning. The logic is sound, the emotional requirements still need to be considered. Speaking for myself, I began enjoying listening to music... | |
| Ground Wire Material Generally speaking, bare copper is used | |
| Best Sappy Pop Music for Audiophiles Hall & Oates, best blue-eyed soul ever...Jeff | |
| Rock and Roll Snobbery I've given away discs in the past that just sounded horrible on my system, unlistenable (Who's Next on CD, unreal how bad it sounded). My system is revealing, Martin Logan Quest Z speakers that rock just fine; for the most part rock is easy to lis... | |
| Want Good Inexpensive RCA Video Cable I tried my DVD with both RCA and S Video, huge difference. I'm guessing you can't use S-Video, or you would. I'm a believer in quality IC's but don't go for the purist cables out there; I've had acceptable performance from MIT and Audioquest which... | |
| Newbie to HT - Optical vs Digital Coax I use a Toslink from my set top box and a coax from my DVD, no real difference that I can tell through my HT set up. If this was a question of what's better, Toslink would clearly be the loser but unless it's critical audio only listening, probabl... | |
| Home Cinema Poisoning my System? I was faced with the same dilemma as you, and rather than combine the two, I chose to put together a seperate home theatre system. Same room, two different systems. How do you fit so many speakers in one room? Well, I'm not about to move my Martin... | |
| Software for CD-Recording AudioGrabber to grab the files and store on your hard drive, then Nero to burn the CD's. Burn at single speed for best results. Foolproof! | |
| the most simplistic stereo you have had I put a system in my bedroom about a year ago. NAD L40 integrated FM Receiver/CD player, and B&W LM1 speakers. I put the receiver in my "high boy" chest of drawers with some ventilation in the back, so it's hidden unless I'm using it. I ran th... | |
| Isolation for turntables Thanks for the inputs all. My setup just doesn't allow for a dedicated 'table stand, whether it be floor or wall mounted, just not enough room. Underneath the listening room, in the basement, is an unfinished furnace room. Based on these inputs, I... |
