| music , mind , thought and emotion Interesting observation Onhwy61. Is perception and measurement the same? Perhaps so, in some ways. I was referring to the objective sense of scientific measurement. Certainly, air pressure can be measured by either the ear or an instrument, but th... | |
| Class A, B, C? What do they mean? It's supposed to mean that the equipment reproduces music exceptionally well. The jury is out on that since it might mean that the company advertises in Stereophile exceptionally often. | |

| music , mind , thought and emotion Gregm, mesurement is not just unnecessary, it is unwanted, intrusive and destructive. Measurement, in any objective sense, is the antithesis of art. We don't yet know enough to allow art and science to comfortably merge and co-exist. That struggle... | |
| So you're an audiophile - are you also a musician? I appear to be in the minority. While I took organ lessons for a few years in elementary school, I can neither sing nor play. But, I do love music. Maybe when I retire ... | |
| 1st song you remember??? Hey Zaikes, your thread wasn't listed under "threads" (might be under "answers") but a search turned it up so I took the liberty of copying the relevant portion for all to enjoy -- nice story."...permit me to tell a story about my first conscious ... | |
| 1st song you remember??? The first song where I remember exactly where I was when I heard it is "Little Teeney Weeney Yellow Polk-a-dot Bikini". Naturally, I know I heard many of the bible songs that Judit mentions and also many of the TV songs that you mention Shubertman... | |
| Thoughts On "Bowling For Columbine" Onhwy61, I'd vote for two Peter Sellers flicks: Dr. Strangelove and Being There. The latter was an exceptional film I would put in a top ten list. It is a fine indictment of the political system as being very skewed to those who look the part and ... | |
| Thoughts On "Bowling For Columbine" Lugnut, nice discourse. Ben, we are both richer and poorer in different ways from every other culture -- like our hobby, there is no best. Rather, there are trade-offs and things we have to bear (at least in the short run). America's culture is re... | |

| Time to replace speakers, suggestions wanted Dan, normally I would do a bit of research prior to responding but I have a house full of guests so ...Anyway, for a speaker repair, you do not have to go to the manufacturer. Check the yellow pages under "speakers". If you can't find anything in ... | |
| Help amp hum is driving me crazy Is it the amp itself that is humming? Or, do you hear the hum in your speakers? My amps (not speakers)hum and I was told by the manufacturer that I need to 1)Tighten up the power supply transformer (i.e., it might be loosely attached to the case) ... | |
| Time to replace speakers, suggestions wanted Dan, you may wish to either replace the drivers per Socrates' suggestion or have them repaired. Even if you decide to get new speakers, repairing/replacing the drivers on your old ones will fetch a higher price when you sell them. I had the driver... | |
| What are you thankful for? I am thankful for reasonable health, reasonable wealth and my wife's willingness to accept my big-ass system as reasonably stealth!Stehno & Zaikes, I agree with you both -- when's the last time we had a president deserving more than two terms?... | |
