| When does non-delivery become a crime? Just to mention that death does not cancel one's debts. Your estate becomes responsible for your debts. The executor or administrator of your estate becomes responsible for paying the debts. Of course if you die broke then there is no estate and a... | |
| Most overrated audio manufacturers? As far as being overrated, only Bose comes to mind, as far as what the general public thinks. But I can't really come up with anything else. As to overpriced, well, that's a different story.I have no doubt that Goldmund products are well-engineere... | |

| Shirley Bassey is realy something 1970 marked a transition for Bassey from traditional pop (standards, show tunes, torch songs) to more contemporary pop. My favorite albums are probably the first four of these, 'Something', 'Something Else', 'I Capricorn', and 'And I Love You So'.... | |
| Shirley Bassey is realy something I could kick myslef for not discovering her earlier as I live in NYC and she played here a lot in the past, but she seems to have retired from touring, only making occasional appearances at charity or other special events where she'll sing three s... | |
| Shirley Bassey is realy something I "discovered" Shirley Bassey a couple of years ago and just flipped for her. Not only is she a great singer and performer, but she also oozes sex appeal from every pore of her body. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HqxMXlqCFZw 1968http://www.youtub... | |

| Audiophile speakers that rock well Krell Resolution 3. I've owned a pair for five years. They can rock. The 8" woofer gives an added weight that many monitors with smaller drivers don't have. Excellent power handling with the Resolution 3, and you want that with a rockin' speaker. ... | |
| MBL speakers mbl 7008. My local dealer said that they will drive the 116's. New, I think it is overpriced, but used, I think it is a good buy. | |
| Upgrading Rotel RCD-1072 I went from a 1072 to a Linn Majik. I agree that "The Rotel is a tough cookie to beat w/o dropping some dinero". There is one on Audiogon ("never used") for 1.8k from an authorized dealer. I'm happy with the change, but no doubt the 1072 is a grea... |
