| Can we have an "Ask Sean" catagory? Sean has been helpful to me as well in a few instances, heckuva nice guy. I'm Irish as well, Happy St. Patrick's Day!I have had a LOT of experience with mutual NDA's, I'll send you a few to peruse. Thanks for everything Sean! | |
| Newbie with $1500 and a wife pushing for Bose I've listened to the Bose stuff and well... If WAF is the problem then get thee small but GOOD speakers. Anthony Gallo has a complete home theatre package including sub for $999. These little wonders are the size of a softball and available in dif... | |
| Question about Burr Brown DACs Generally speaking DAC chips have "evolved" over the last ten years but mostly to make them less expensive and easier to use. I sold both Crystal Semiconductor and Burr Brown for a lot of years. The Burr Brown PCM63K (military grade) was an awesom... | |
| What other obsessions do you have? I play hockey every week, golf as much as I can in the summer, and swim when it occurs to me. I too indulge in wine and have a 270 bottle cellar (can't seem to keep it full, the stuff evaporates!). I also have an interest in cars although not to t... | |
| Granite vs Wood DIY Audio Racks? On the top shelf I did not use washers. I drilled about 1/2" down with a one inch drill bit, then the rest of the way with a 5/8" bit. Rather than use the standard 5/8" #11 plain old nuts on the top, I used the locking type (with a nylon insert). ... | |
| Granite vs Wood DIY Audio Racks? Steve, drop me an email if you'd care to know more about my techniques but suffice to say I used pretty common tools to build my rack. Truth be told I experimented and posted my findings, and have since built other racks, but I think Slip took the... | |
| would you bother? Personally I struggle with the concept of people pouring tons of money into a system and then not bothering with vinyl cuz "it's too much trouble". Some of these same people have $1000 power cords! Our hobby is all about the music, not whether or ... | |
| Talkin' bout YOUR generation... Imin2u,I had the privilege and honour of seeing FZ seven times, it was no accident he had the best musicians with him (much like Steely Dan does). Most people think of Zappa and lyrics such as "Yellow Snow" or "Dyna-moe Hum" come to mind, but he w... | |
| your wardrobe in 1972, any hip huggers? Swamp,Same here, and I mean today! | |
| Granite vs Wood DIY Audio Racks? I'm with Slip, I've tried both and much prefer the butcherblock. It doesn't need to cost a lot of money and really doesn't require a great deal of skill. Have fun! Jeff | |
| Talkin' bout YOUR generation... At 42 I'm a bit older than you folks; I liked Zep, Rush, Tull, Floyd, Triumph, Aerosmith, Bowie, etc... hmmm, I still like those bands. But the one band that captured my imagination in my early teens was Frank Zappa and the Mothers. Hands down the... | |
| Why Don't People Search The Forum Archives? STFA. When I suggested the very same thing many moons ago I took some heat for excluding newbies or not taking into account the "rapidly evolving world of audio". So I simply ignore repeat posts.I can almost understand and tolerate the 48th "I'm l... | |
| Shengya CD players I bounced over to their website, I think it should link directly to http://www.engrish.com/ A wee bit of humor in an otherwise uninteresting day | |
| What music do you want to play really loud? Rage Against the Machine "The Battle of Los Angeles" orProject Wyze "Misfits, Liars... | |
| I am venturing into unfamiliar territory. I'm like you, don't care a whole lot about home theatre but put one together for the family. I like the Gallo Micro speakers cuz they're small and all in all do a good job, the wee sub can make the damned room shake on explosions and such. Mated w... |
