| Mark Levinson's Guide to Better Sex There is an article in the Sunday Styles section of the NY Times on Mark and Kim's book. They met for lunch w/the writer and were photographed nuzzling. Mark was described as "broad shouldered and ruggedly handsome." The article was kind of embarr... | |
| Greatest Songwriter of all time Best songwriter EVER of all time, words and music: DylanSecond best: Townes Van ZandtThird best: Guy ClarkThere is a long drop between these fellas and number 4. | |
| I called Richard Vandersteen Clueless, you kill me! You are truly a funny person and I laugh out loud at a lot of what you post!! (Sorry if you meant it all to be serious!) I especially agree with someone else here who said he laughs aloud whenever he reads your closing, "Sin... | |
| Searching Prior Threads...Worth Your Time... I know what you mean about the small speakers threads. There have been at least 9 in the last 2 months, I know because I started one about 2 months ago, then read all the others that came along too. I got tons of great ideas, not all the suggestio... | |
| mark levinson 23.5 or Ayre V5? That's the problem I owned Ayre (V3) and Vienna (Beethovens) for about a year of great listening. I know these aren't the models you're asking about, but the newer Ayre is even better than the classic model, and the Mahlers like good solid power just like the Beetho... | |
| Best tiny speakers up to 1000 ? Check out the Acoustic Energy sub/sat system for $399, very small but very big, clear sound. Michael Fremer reviewed them in the March 2001 issue of Stereophile. Jeff at Value Audio (www.value-audio.com) sells them and gives a good rundown of thei... | |
| Anyone else heard "The Houston Kid?" Glen, at Borders Rodney is classified in the Country section. I'd look there for his albums. Now that there's "alt.country," I would place him there, at least for this album, but the record stores (the bricks and mortar ones, anyway) don't have a ... | |
| Sonic Frontiers is bankrupt? The news just means that Sonic Frontiers gear will be worth a premium for the time being. Those who own it just had value added, in my opinion. That gear will always be classic. It's nice to be able to take a breather from the constant need to upg... | |
| Sistrum Platforms Hi, I have a 5-shelf Sistrum rack, and the smaller platform stands under each of my Genesis 500 speakers. I noticed an improvement in clarity and detail in my system immediately, plus in my opinion the rack is absolutely beautiful, very minimalist... | |
| Anyone else heard "The Houston Kid?" Yes, Rodney and Roseanne used to be married. | |
| Anyone else heard "The Houston Kid?" This has been an absolute favorite of mine for almost a year. I played it to death, memorized all the lyrics, and used it exclusively to choose a new preamp and various cables last winter. I could hear all the differences in components I wanted wi... | |
| Girl diagnoses & solves mechanical problem All right, if Suzy found this thread "disturbing" before, what on earth is she thinking now!!? | |
| Bookshelf speakers on a bookshelf? I was just eyeing the Silverline SR12 monitors for sale on this site--about $500 and very fine, small monitors. Other thoughts: Mission m71 just reviewed in this month's stereophile, they are only about $250; Mirage 90i for sale used on this site ... | |
| Girl diagnoses & solves mechanical problem Wow, I'm glad this thread flushed some fellow females out of the woodwork! Hello, ladies, glad to meet you. No one would ever accuse me of being the "helpless female," believe me. The thrill of actually being able to figure out what was wrong and ... | |
| Matching the Vienna Beethovens If I were you, I'd certainly only do/buy one thing at a time. You may find that simply using another power amp, with your current Sim integrated for a pre, makes a huge difference and you won't need/want to upgrade anything else for a while (alway... |
