What will you be playing to celebrate?
Gunbei,Very inciteful posts as usual. However... Skull and Bones is a Yale society not Harvard. The only reason Dubya got into Yale was papa Bush. 
What will you be playing to celebrate?
4yanx,Yeah, maybe. Now that Saddam is in an "undisclosed location", my guess is that he is sitting with an 80 some year old JFK on the set where they faked the moon landings, sharing a laugh with Jimmy Hoffa ;) 
What will you be playing to celebrate?
What makes everyone so sure that it really IS Saddam we've got? He has over 40 body doubles. I would call into question those who say "dna match". Why is it that they can do a dna test in Iraq within 8 hours, but it takes weeks, even months to hav... 
Your Holiday/Christmas Favorite Recordings
"Blue Yule"Christmas done by blues artists 
Magneplanar MG 3.6 Rs
Pbb, I'm not in Montreal, but, I have had a pair in my setup now for just over two weeks. I purchased them new to replace my MGIIIs. They are a remarkable loudspeaker. Same physical size as the IIIs but that is where the similarities end. Even wit...

Hmmmm - good thread! I'll list a few currently enjoying a heavy rotation on my turntable:"Rough Mix" - Pete Townshend and Ronnie Lane"Soular Energy" - Ray Brown "Clap Hands, Here Comes Charlie" - Ella Fitzgerald"Soundtrack From Local Hero" - Mark ... 
What's the oldest piece of gear in your system?
Me ! 
Mastercard
Nothin' now. I got my gift (for myself) early this year in the form of a new pair of Magnepan 3.6R's to replace my long-in-the-tooth MGIII's. Now- for everybody else -there's Mastercard! 
Which Beethoven's symphony do you like the best?
I vote with Pragmatist. My personal favorite is the 6th. The moods the movements evoke in me remind me of spring, meadows bathed in various shadings of new green, drenching thunderstorms that freshen the air, making everything light, sweet and new. 
Best Joni Mitchel Album
Fathom7,The "Cold Blue Steel and Sweet Fire" on Miles of Aisles is one of my favorites. "For The Roses" is like "Blue": stripped down, clean, almost forcing you to really listen to what she has to say in those lyrics of hers. Joni Mitchell is a po... 
That's what it's all about
Zenith,My threat-to-sue was more or less tongue-in-cheek. Our society is way too litgious in my book. I was just stunned to see such a pre-emptive move on EBay's part without starting a dispute resolution process first, or, even getting some kind ... 
Where can I find threaded brass rod for equip rack
Nrchy,McMaster Carr has threaded brass rods at 69-72" lengths 5/8 inch right or left hand thread. They are $58.19 each. 5/8" right or left hand thread brass hex nuts at about $4.00 and change each. For a two shelf rack, you are looking at about 32... 
That's what it's all about
Marakanetz,The copy from your ad was your own text, correct? A lot of the stock pics attached to listings are images from product web sites and not the seller's own anyway. I have done that myself but made it clear in the ad that actual pics were ... 
That's what it's all about
Zenieth,You are right of course. However, I do have a close relative who is an attorney for the FTC. I wonder if he would be willing to fire off a nasty letter on FTC letterhead? 
That's what it's all about
Ucmgr,Interesting. I just submitted a post 5 min. ago re: EBay as well. EBay notified me last night that they were terminating my membership and "contemplating legal action" due to my "fraudulent behavior". I suspect my ID there has been compromiz...
