| From a Newbie - How long should I wait? Great responses. I'd like to add that it doesn't hurt to set expectations up front. In the original e-mail, simply add a sentence to say "If I don't hear back by end of day tomorrow, I'll assume the offer is not accepted. Please get back to me lat... | |
| Anyone getting into the Christmas spirit ? I'm not ready this early in the year. We do have about 50 or more CD's we keep rotating through the season. I can't even remember them all right now and I'm still unpacking from a move but will be happy to share my favs a bit later.Thanks for the ... | |
| Attention: Dunlavy Audio Labs out of business Unsound, I think that Thiel is there in terms of phase and time coherence (the sealed cabinet part may be a bit of an issue -- is a cabinet wholly sealed if it has a passive woofer?). I have read that Thiel may not have the same quality of parts t... | |
| music , mind , thought and emotion Asa, music is not so fragile that it can be found only in silence. Words are ways to organize thoughts -- we can debate whether words free or enslave them (I'd argue for both). Why wouldn't words help, not harm, the understanding so long as we don... | |
| music , mind , thought and emotion Asa, interesting surf questions.The surf is the heartbeat of the world. It exists regardless of how it is appreciated. Although I hate to categorize or pigeon-hole people too much (far too many complexities really), a Jungian based profiling metho... | |
| music , mind , thought and emotion Asa, I apologize but am in the process of moving into a new home and have just enough time to say I'll get with you all tomorrow. I've not even had time to do more than scan the responses (and laugh a bit). No offense or neglect meant -- some grea... | |
| How to service Cal Audio products? I took my CD player to a local high end shop and they promptly shipped it to Cal Audio directly (I wasn't told about that until later). My advice: Save some time and contact Cal Audio directly and skip the middle man. | |
| MIT Love 'em or Hate 'em Unclekrusty, I appreciate your recognition that your statements are your opinion. Is there a particular reason you present it with such venom?As for me, I appreciated how MIT speaker cables sounded in my last system. I am now quite willing to audi... | |
| "Kid A" If you like 'Kid A', you might really enjoy 'Amnesiac' -- again, not for everybody. 'OK Computer' is still my favorite, but 'Kid A' is a very fine listen if you are in the mood. If you love this, I bet you might also be a King Crimson fan. Thanks ... | |
| music , mind , thought and emotion Gregm, I think we are together on your points. My hypothesis is that melody is a "natural" fascination but I suspect you appreciate the nuances and structure more today. 6chac, I know that something is with me, I just hope it's useful someday ;-) | |
| No computer?? Let me try a little less tongue in cheek response. Virtually everyone I know in my age range (45-50) uses a PC at home. Either their kids acclimated them to it or they use it at work. My mother-in-law uses it; my own parents do not. There is an ag... | |
| music , mind , thought and emotion I think that certain things are hardwired and certain things are learned. The hardwired pieces are appreciation for rhythm and melody. Maybe it comes from reacting to the rhythms of nature -- surf, wind, etc. In any event, moving your body to a rh... | |
| No computer?? They must be seriously into tubes and eschew solid state ;-) | |
| Trojan VIRUS Reported - Beware Thanks for the tip. I never open anything from anyone I don't know and haven't run into any problems yet (kow). It sounds like you can simply erase the file without opening it and be safe. Again, thanks. | |
| Music industry troubles caused by radio? Hockey, you are so right! The industry is looking for a scapegoat rather than evaluating the real issue -- their unwillingness to take risks and target any but the broad audiences. The success of 70's FM radio was based on a wide variety stations ... |
