| New Santana Album "Africa Speaks" I had an interesting conversation with a friend, who is knowledgable in the recording arts. Have you ever noticed that on so many LPs, the first cut has inferior sound to the rest of the record, which may actually be really good? My friend tells m... | |
| Just another Orange fuse thread There are those who appreciate art, and those who do not. This applies to the art of music as well. Millercarbon’s excellent essay above reminded me of a trip I took to the fabulous Getty Museum of Art in Los Angeles. Here, you can see spectacular... | |

| Cassette: A Documentary Mixtape ^^^ Cool. :-)Just a heads up for you cassetters ... check out the thrift stores for tapes. They sell for around twenty-five cents. You can pick up the really high-end Maxell and TDK tapes and just erase them with the bulk tape erasers and you're g... | |
| Cassette: A Documentary Mixtape Nice. Thanks for posting. I still have cassettes, and record LPs on my Nakamichi cassette deck to play in the car. But I'm an old fart, so what do I know?Frank | |

| Home Theater Done Right: Millercarbon's System Millercarbon ...You are exactly correct in your statement that a center channel is not necessary. In fact, we found that a center channel actually screws up the imaging. I learned this at an ultra-high-end store I worked at for a few years. We had... | |
| Perfect Path Total Contact no longer? akwilson501 ...Sorry to say, Total Contact is now history. The sole owner of PPT, Tim Mrock, passed away a couple of months ago and the formula evidently died with him. As far as I know, no one has the formula for TC as it was never written down... | |
| Done selling on eBay, they are demanding my social security number to sell So, if I bought an amplifier in 1965 for $800, and sell it today for $2200, is there an adjustment for inflation caused by our socialized monetary system, thereby eliminating any gain in true value, or does the government get to steal that too?Frank | |
| Interesting study larry5729 ... A realtor sends me daily real estate listings so I can get an idea of what my house is worth. I have received well over 500 of them and I am yet to see a pair of speakers standing in a room. I spent a 40-year career in residential r... | |
| New Omega E Mat from Perfect Path Technologies cascadesphil ...Thanks. I've forwarded it to Krissy and suggested that she show it to her attorney.Frank | |
| New Omega E Mat from Perfect Path Technologies millercarbon ...My understanding is that Krissy and Tim were not married, but lived together for almost 17 years. The business was in Tim's name only. Unfortunately, New Hampshire doesn't recognize common-law marriages. That makes Krissy's stat... |
