| ...and now a word from your anti-sponsor... My read is pretty much the same as Bryon's.Unfortunately, the quotation needs more context to be fully understood. However, it feels like he's addressing the notion of acoustic music being somehow more legitimate than electronic music - particular... | |
| Avalon Eidolon or Parsifal Encore I own P/Es and have briefly heard various Avalons on a few ocassions. No expert on Avalon here, but my impressions generally mirror those stated by Glai. Very different sounding speakers. The P/Es are a bit warmer and sound like they are noticeabl... | |
| Paul Simon: So Beautiful or So What Richard,You have well established over time via your contributions here that you are a discerning consumer of singer/songwriter output. I have purchased more than 1 cd (usually with happy results) on the basis of your recommendation. Further, you ... | |
| Who was the best jazz guitarist ever? Redneck Jazz is a stunner. IIRC, there was also a live version that came out a year or so later that is a great companion piece. I kinda think that his live recording called "Humbler Stakes His Claim" with Harlem Nocturne is Gatton's greatest jazz... | |
| AT&T to cap broadband usage. Streamers beware Sam,Sorry, I don't follow the "intimate and casual associations" reference. I'm particularly curious about the "intimate" part.Marty | |
| Paul Simon: So Beautiful or So What Another fan of the new Paul Simon CD here. As Glen indicated was his experience, it's grown on me with repeated exposure, too.Marty | |
| AT&T to cap broadband usage. Streamers beware Sam,I see that I sort of skipped answering your question re: TARP directly and went straight to the logical follow-up, re: government intervention.As to the former. I'm not an economist, but I do have the gut feeling that letting the big banks fai... | |
| AT&T to cap broadband usage. Streamers beware Sam,Not remotely.I have no particular philosophy regarding public ownership/regulated business versus unregulated capitalism. There are benefits to each. Stability vs. efficiency. People want the upside without the downside. Sadly, that's not how ... | |
| AT&T to cap broadband usage. Streamers beware Incidentally,I should add that one of the examples you cite (South Korea) is illuminating. South Korea has effectively fostered competition in the deployment of high speed connectivity by aggressively forcing the last mile monopoly (Korea Telecom)... | |
| AT&T to cap broadband usage. Streamers beware Trebejo,I'll disagree - pretty strenuously, actually. These assets (telecom for regulatory purposes) have historically been in the hands of publicly owned or regulated utilities. As a result, they were horribly mismanaged and the public paid the p... | |
| Allman, Clapton, and Simon I really like Ronnie Wood's last CD, too (although not everyone seems to agree with me). All of these guys (even Paul Simon on his new CD) are still working it from the blues and that's why they continue to shine, IMHO.Marty | |
| Dual Subs set up advice I"d insert an active x-over in the loop. I use NHT, which is versatile, undetectable (to my ear) in the main path, and relatively inexpensive. This does put another component in the signal path, but (as noted) I find it benign and the seamless han... | |
| AT&T to cap broadband usage. Streamers beware It's purely a profit maximization calculation - there's no moral "right" or "wrong", and certainly no "should" or "shouldn't". Presumably, someone will offer unlimited bandwidth at some price - and ATT will either make a competing offer or they wo... | |
| driving Verity Audio Parsifal Ovations? Edorr,Just curious about the 200 wpc minimum. What's driving (pardon the pun) that requirement? MartyBTW, I have successfully used the SS Odyssee mono amps with my P/Es (in that output neighborhood and well below your stated budget). Might not be ... | |
| What speakers to match my new cary 805 AE I'll second the Zingalis (S3, in my case) as a good match.... but there is a serious caveat. Mine have foam surrounds, both of which deteriorated (actually, disintegrated is more accurate) over a 5 year period. They look beautiful, sound great, an... |
