James Randi vs. Anjou Pear - once and for all
If you can't hear a difference between various cable designs, you probably shouldn't be in audio, just as people who are color-blind probably shouldn't be artists or traffic light designersWe ALL know this is true, that no two different cable des... 
James Randi vs. Anjou Pear - once and for all
You can't have it both ways. Either you believe all cables sound the same or not. Take your pick. *sigh* yes some people think that way...that it has to be a choice that there is no gray area. It helps to understand that small differences exist b... 
dedicated center channel?
Unless you can get the mid range and tweeter at the same height as R and L main then it is debatable whether you would not be better off with "phantom center".... 
Best speakers for 3 cord rock and roll
dress nicely and be courteous and go when they are not overwhelmed with customers Scott,Upon re-reaing this it could be taken the wrong way. I mean no disrespect to you.....all I mean is that if you show people a great deal of respect then they t... 
How many hours weekly do you listen to your system
Typically 1.5 hours a weeknight. And up to three hours on Saturday and Sunday. So about 10 to 15 hours a week. This will increase a little if I ever retire... 
Holy Moly Blu-Ray Disc Players below $300
I agree with those that say HD players are clunky. However, the image quality is anything but clunky. On a full 1080p resolution screen it is stunning."Planet Earth" is absolutely stunning - incredible - amazing - you are there! The WOW factor exi...

Another Music Man Gone.
Cleaneduphippy,Thanks for this. There is a PBS documetary on Ertegun and the story of Atlantic. It is well worth watching if you get a chance. I still can't believe he sold Atlantic for a mere $17 million... 
Best speakers for 3 cord rock and roll
Shadorne - curious, why not Horn Shoppes? I don't think that small 4 inch drivers can keep up with bass requirements of rock and roll...that is all. I guess in my minds eye I see "The Who" with stacked JBL's and big woofers as the epitomy of spea... 
Best speakers for 3 cord rock and roll
I agree with horns....but not horn shoppe....go for classic Tannoys, Altec/JBL's such as the famous "baboons butt" speaker or older concentric designs. You have a large space to fill...so I would pick these up real cheap and then use the money you...
