| Thoughts On "Bowling For Columbine" If a heavily armed populace is an effective protection for citizens, then why in the two nations where virtually everybody is armed, Afghanistan & Isreal, are their citizens so unsafe? | |
| Best spkrs for rock: Dunlavy V-Watt/Puppy-Revel?? None of the speakers you mention will do rock better than your current NHT 3.3s. They are all very good speakers, but the areas in which they better the NHTs will not be readily revealed on typical rock recordings. You might want to consider some ... | |
| Thoughts On "Bowling For Columbine" Thanks to all for the thoughtful responses. I started this post because I think "Bowling for Columbine" is an interesting and worthwhile film for everybody in the U.S. to see. What is so refreshing about the movie is that it actually dares to addr... | |

| BC silver serpent or Apogee Wyde Eye? The Apogee is a very good product. I'm sure you could do better, but only at several times its cost. Just because it's not outrageously priced doesn't mean the Apogee doesn't deliver high end quality perfomance. | |

| It's the small things that drive you nuts... When facing the equipment from the front the power cord should be on the left side panel of the chasis. This will leave the back and right side panels free for the interconnect/speaker cables. I believe the Nagra preamps are built along these lines. | |
| Buzzing with HFN Test Lp II What tonearm and cartridge combo are you using? Anti skate is intended to compensate for pivoted tonearms natural tendency to fall in towards the center spindle. Ideally, the HFNRR tracks should all play cleanly without any buzzing in either chann... | |
| Tact RCS 2.0 ADC/DAC The A/D/A for the Tact 2.0 is nothing special. It's not competitive with the quality of systems that really benefit from the RCS process. I use an MSB Platinum DAC with the 2.0. The A/D/A in the Tact 2.2 is reputed to be a major advance for their ... | |
