| Visa Tranaction Suspended for Unusual Activity I have had "that call" too, and on three occasions in the last couple of years it was because of fraudulent charges. On one Saturday morning alone, three charges (all local) totalling in excess of $2,100. Big kudos to AMEX for catching this, shutt... | |
| Should I trust movers with my equipment? I guess I've been lucky. Moves fron CA to FL to MN to NC--all without any problems whatsoever. I packed all my gear in original boxes. Staged them all separately, explained the contents to the driver/lead mover. I have gear ranging in size/bulk fr... | |
| Bi-wire: is it worth it? I suspect the SL3 crossover is indeed designed for biwiring vs. a fashion statement. I just read the manual, which discusses both vertical and horizontal bi-amping. At the risk of painting the target around the arrow, I think it's a reasonable to ... | |
| Marantz AV7701 +1 on what DH said. Likely some other offending player such as a cable or satellite box. You can even try just the coax cable first as that's often the most likely source. | |
| Bi-wire: is it worth it? I run Vandersteen 5s with complete double bi-wire (DBW) cabling so I guess I can't be objective. That said, there's a great article on the Vandersteen site about this topic and I have pasted an excerpt below. For me, the operational phrase is:"Cou... | |
| Vendor war stories . . . good ones that is . . . Balanced Audio Technology is great. I have returned both a VK-200 and VK-3i for work. Victor Khomenko and Vladimir Shutov did a great job in diagnosing, repairing, testing, and communicating. These were older pieces and out of warranty, but I was ... | |
| Polling MagnePan Users - Using a SubWoofer? For 10 years I ran a Vandersteen 2Wq with my 1.6s. I thought it was a terrific match, but I'm not a fiend for bass. It just provided that fundamental bottom end foundation the Maggie's couldn't produce. When properly set up, there was no sense of ... | |
| Mellencamp vs. Seger vs. Springsteen I'll second (or third) the props to Bruce Cockburn and throw another troubador to the table. . .Steve Forbert. Known for a single hit, "Romeo's Tune" from '78, he has continued to record and tour to this day. Saw him at a solo performance recently... | |
| Top 3 from: Allman Bros, Tull, Kansas & Feat Little Feat:1. Down on the Farm2. Dixie Chicken3. Sailin' ShoesAnd I'll put in a plug for Lowell George's solo album, "Thanks, I'll Eat it Here" | |
| Beautiful Vocals... Alison Krauss and Holly Cole top my list for straight beautiful vocals, and I'll add Linda Ronstadt's work on her big band albums. | |
| VPI Classic vs Avid Volvere SP I cannot comment on the VPI, but I just moved to a Volvere from a Wilson-Benesch Circle and could not be more pleased. I am using the same arm/cart combo from the Circle (ACT 0.5 and Clearaudio Virtuoso Wood) so only the 'table has changed. The di... | |
| Folder for each artist in Hard drive? Are they not in a parent folder? If not, you should be able to create a new folder and then drag all your artist folders into that one. For example, the folder might be called iTunes and it would contain the individual artist folders (this is how ... | |
| guitar solos where less is more Riviera Paradise by Stevie Ray Vaughn. | |
| Hey Electricians - Please help I concur with Mrderrick and Elizabeth. If you have any unshielded interconnects, then wall switch arcs are the likely cause. You might try unhooking each IC and see if the clicking stops. That will tell you which one may be acting as an antenna an... | |
| Rock n Roll w/Strings Mapman, there's nothing coincidental about you mentioning ELO and The Beatles in the same post. I seem to recall a Rolling Stone interview with Jeff Lynne (of ELO), in which he professed his great love and admiration for The Beatles and that his v... |
