| 5 most overrated movies ever...... Hey, I loved Memento; to Unsounds' point though, I am very empathetic to it since my memory ain't what it used to be. I'm sorry, what was I saying? | |
| Subject: Anti-Piracy Breakthrough Hilarious. The format might really take off if we could just get the quality down to MP-3 levels. Folks may not even know it's music!!! Plus, there has to be a way to get it into a car. I can just picture the 12" slot in the dashboard. Fingerprint... | |
| Problems with CAL 10 display My CL-10 had problems with the random play and with skipping. I took it to a local certified service center. They shipped it to Cal Tech. The process took 2-3 months. It was repaired. It wasn't cheap. I did get a new official cardboard carton out ... | |
| 5 most overrated movies ever...... The Mexican -- worst movie of all time. I so wanted the main characters to die and put us out of our misery. The best character was the hit man, who was killed. Sigh ... This may not be considered as overrated since most reviewers didn't give it m... | |
| What are the 5 most overrated rock albums? I agree with lots of the above. Anything by post-Gabriel Genesis is overrated. Aerosmith -- anything since Toys in the Attic (which was a fun listen for its time). Sting -- come on, that's not even rock, is it? The Stones were great early on (Pain... | |
| Noticed alot of Sonic Frontiers being unloaded Bingo! They are focusing on HT and, I've heard, are getting out of the tube end. Their pre-amps are great. I've been lusting after the 3SE since their output impedence is only 90 ohms which would match nicely to my amp's 2200 ohm input impedence. ... | |
| Bryston's take on 6.1 & 7.1 surround sound Well, that's brief and to the point! Why would recording engineers go to the extra trouble if there is no real benefit and, more importantly in this world of hype, nobody cares? Thanks. I guess I'll stick with 5.1 (I can actually do 7.1 with my ol... | |
| This time Aopen gone too far Shoot, now I'll have to run another dedicated line and buy new pc's for my pc!!! | |
| Twisted or Straight? Thanks all. I'll go with the 27 vestal virgins approach. In lieu of that, the twisted 10 gauge in conduit seems like a plan. Not too expensive and likely to gain good results. Thanks again.P.S. Per suggestions in earlier posts and above, I will be... | |
| cables 101? The brands and differant sounds? Actually, our whole hobby is a necessary evil in that we would all rather have the live performance in front of us. But you'd hurt Bob Dylan's feelings when, after 45 minutes, you switched to Miles (well, I guess you couldn't) ;-) So, yes -- I agr... | |
| several routes to take to digital heaven? Whoa! Nice site. You're talking about starting with some pretty nice base units and some extensive mods. So moving up a couple of major price points might indeed put you in the $5-$10k range for comparisons. Thanks for pointing out the site. Good ... | |
| several routes to take to digital heaven? I had a Pioneer DV-525 DVD player modified by Daniel Wright some time ago. Replaced a ton of stuff from input caps, to rectifier diodes, ac receptacle, power supply capacitors etc. I went the whole 9 yards. Big improvement. Sounds pretty sweet and... | |
| TRELJA in New York, 2002 Thanks for the post. I'm looking for a good tuner -- my Marantz can't pick up a station if it's life depended on it (come to think of it, it does). Sign me up! Thanks again. | |
| Are all copper cables virtually oxygen free? So if I may summarize, the only good cable is a dead cable. By definition, they are all oxygen free ;-) Seriously, it does appear that the OFC dynamic may not be real critical. However, the other imperfections are a problem. Tekunda mentions ferro... | |
| What's most important to WAF-size, shape, finish? Agree with size: Smaller is better. Color per se is not a big issue -- rather, it's how well it matches and blends in. By the way, ask about various options in grill cover colors. I used to own some light cherry speakers with a cream grill cover (... |
