| What time do you wear? Thanks for the response gentlemen. I'm not sure my watch should cost more than my amps so will pass on the Patek, but will look at the Rado. Hmmm -- there's a topic for another thread: What should the rest of your hobbies cost as a ratio to your c... | |
| What time do you wear? Watches are too uncomfortable for me: They drive me nuts so I stopped wearing one 10 years ago. It's not too inconvenient since digital and analog clocks are everywhere. On the other hand (wrist?), if someone has a suggestion for a truly comfortab... | |
| I need to be wowed Ditto on the pictures! It does seem like a pretty bright room so I would stay away from Thiels (unless, maybe, you went with MIT cables). I would highly recommend some of the Montana products -- they are smooth throughout the spectrum. Also, Khoru... | |
| How do you determine how much to spend on speakers Great question and wonderful answers. I'd like to reinforce the earlier post suggesting you consider this system within your future plans. Getting everything balanced now means you have to replace everything later to achieve a new balance (I'm ove... | |
| what speakers do the best "disappearing act"?? Disappearance depends on the front end (as eloquently stated by others), the speakers and room acoustics. I took my Bryston/Thiel combination (BP-25, 7B-ST, CS-6) and set it up an my neighbors house (even putting them very near the corners) and th... | |
| Definin' the blues (humor) Pbb, it's a tangent all right, but one inspired by your very own recent response ;-)Gregm, thanks for looking. Good news! My brother has the Willi somebody album and is looking for it now. He'll even burn a CD! I'll let you know if it's any good a... | |
| Definin' the blues (humor) Detlof, the last time I was in Germany was about 25 years ago. Someone turned me on to Bavarian "blues" -- it sounded great to me at the time and I even bought an album (Willie somebody). I looked for it but cannot locate it today -- I've moved at... | |
| Definin' the blues (humor) Two questions? We all get sucked into 13d (can never be satisfied) -- does 23 (owning a PC) cancel that out? If not, we should start a band!To Pbb's point, Quebec might be a great place to sing the blues. I recall hearing some fine blues from Bava... | |
| A question concerning ethics Ditto to all. I'd add that unconfirmed folks should have a "?" attached to make the risk clear. In one of my recent posts, it was difficult to gauge whether a non-member (and non-members are very welcome) was really who he claimed to be since all... | |
| best budget integrated amp for rock n roll music? The Bryston B60 is a fine unit with a nice live feel and sells used for about $1,000 -- plus it has a 20 year transferrable warranty. I'd be careful about overextending it but it should work very well in mid-sized spaces with reasonably efficient ... | |
| Girlfriends and wifes, how do YOU cope? Sek, you make an interesting point and most can hardly disagree. Certainly, hobbies should generally play second fiddle to a long term relationship. At the same time, good long term relationships are "give and take" so successful ones are usually ... | |
| Best 20A IEC power cord So I take it that for most power cords, a simple switch from a 15 amp to a 20 amp IEC connector would do it? (Of course, even 15 amps is a lot of wattage so I wonder how often the cord would be called upon to deliver more) Are there any other desi... | |
| Call me very, very lucky You obviously found your true love and soulmate. You are lucky indeed.By the way, you will tell us if she zings you with some special news or a big favor later, won't you? ;-) | |
| Question about a speakers sensitivity on its sound You might also want to refer to Sean's post on 3/18/01 titled Speakers/SPL's/RMS Power. (No, I don't have a photograhpic memory -- I didn't really remember this so much as stumble across it when I was doing some research after reading your post). ... | |
| Jazz Recommendations Maybe it's my German heritage, but what about Passport? The "Talk Back" (hard to find but might have some luck used -- e.g., smoothsounds.com) and "Infinity Machine" albums are, IMHO, great. Many mention Chick Corea -- I'd like to recommend the "M... |
