| Best drink while listening to your rig? This post reminds me of the popular sitcom 'Father Ted', where 3 Catholic priests share a parish on Craggy Island. One of them (Father Jack) is a hardened alcoholic who has been known to drink brake fluid, floor polish and cough medicine, basicall... | |
| Seeking $15,000.00 speaker to replace Quad 988's What size is your room?...if you are looking for a speaker that can recreate the illusion of 100 people on a stage, then you need a room that can support that illusion.

| What other obsessions do you have? "I have soared to over 31,000 feet, stayed aloft for 7 1/2 hours, and flown a distance of 500 KM, all without an engine."Had the same experience as Shventus with some good wacky backy and a bottle of Jack.... | |
| How Much Time do You Surf on Audiogon? I figure about four 15 minute visits each day. But according to St. Augustine, time is "an illusionary product of our mind" - so actually, it may be longer, or it may be less . And since someone else (Berlioz I think?) stated "Time is a great teac... | |

| Whats the krell sound? I've owned two Krells, currently a FPB200 and previously a KAV300i. The 300i didn't really do much for me, having tried it in a couple different setups it was ultimately replaced with a CJ tubed integrated, the CAV50, which blew it away sonically... | |
| Cars R OK, but what kind of motorcycle do you have Had a Honda CR500 Moto-X before leaving blighty for the US of A. Best fun riding off-road, everyone going round in the same direction most of the time. | |
