Movie Software make HT a Waste of Resources?
I think the apparent planned destruction of my loved hobbies and options in general is something to think about. Why does engaged and vital necessarily mean serious? Or put another way, are you joking around when you ask questions in forums? Maybe...

Movie Software make HT a Waste of Resources?
I learned a long time ago the benefits of light hearted sayings like "keep smiling" as an implied, objective epilog for the presumed, thoughtful argument that precedes it. So I'll do a extra dose and say before I begin " Have a great weekend, enjo...

Sorry this is not philosophy anymore than the apparent deliberate acts of ENRON and Arthur Anderson and it seems the entire auditing profession are/were, whichever the case may be, involved in. Apparently Wall Street is involved in philosophy, acc... 
Average age of audiophiles
I discovered the hi-end in 1964 when I was in grade school. My older brothers' friends' father was an electrical engineer and built his high-school son a radio station and equipped it with Logen & Thorens Turntables, Mac Reference tuners etc. ...

Sort of an Epilog: If you read any newspaper or heard any radio or TV today you will recognize that what I spoke of above about one Corporate Voice planned and pushed by FCC Chairman, Michael Powell was put on the ultra fast track today. Now AOL a... 
RCA to XLR connection
Follow up to above. Just got my XLR to RCAs today. Very nice quality metal jacket connnectors. So it is a recommendation.

ACI Titan II LE vs REL: Opinions
Thanks for your comments guys! You have given me an excuse to make the 5 hr round trip to Lacrosse this spring. ACI is hardly ever seen on the web for sale even though they do a respectable business. That says something! :) Seems like there are 1 ...

PS: Hope my color choices on fonts are less offensive and my arguments more surgical. :) 
Tube Tuner: Eico HF92A and Mcintosh MR 65
MR-65 may be your cup of tea if you like a somewhat softer and more euphonic sound. Regardless Mac knew what is was doing in the 60s with tuners. 
Tube Tuner: Eico HF92A and Mcintosh MR 65
I would not be overly concerned about "as is" (afterall we are talking about tuners that are pushing 35-40 years old) unless the tuner is heavily pitted, dented, rusted because you will want to recap it and probably retube it anyway. I would be ... 
Replace B&W-M802's w/2 way monitors Merlins? ..
PS: While I don't know what base is I think another piece in this puzzle is the room geometry, acoustics, and your priority. I often tell friends just like you would not trust me when I say "I just eat the best meal in the world" there is no such ...
