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... 
Best Joni Mitchel Album
For me, it's "Miles of Aisles" and "Hejira" I just love listening to Jaco on that album. No flies on a really good pressing of "Blue" either. 
Audio Research and Aragon
FWIW, I use an ARC SP 9 mkII pre with my Aragon Palladium 1K monos. the 9 is a tube/hybrid pre, and I have never had any difficulties at any volume level. The Aragon monos are 125 wpc Class A, switching to AB above that and going 400 wpc into 8 oh... 
Moving from Magnepan MGIIIA to 3.6
They're Heeeere--The 3.6R's have been in the system for about an hour now, having just returned from the dealer with them. right out of the box, they are indeed a quantum leap over the III's. Soundstage depth and image size are more "there". after...

"Blue Yule". Blues, blues, blues Christmas 
Moving from Magnepan MGIIIA to 3.6
Tireguy,4 paw drive Maggie ain't allowed in the room with the Maggie twins. I'm really looking forward to getting some hours on these things to get them broken in. Thanks for the tweaking offer, I may have to take you up on some XO advice. 
Moving from Magnepan MGIIIA to 3.6
It only took an hour of listening with music I know well to convince me. As good as the MG III is, the 3.6R is a quantum leap. I took the plunge today and purchased a pair of 3.6R's. My III's have served me well and I still love them, but those se... 
Got Glas Platz?
Hey Slappy,Get em. If they sound bad you could always use them for windows when you move into your new digs. Tell the neighbors that these are the latest in temperature and light sensing window technology, with the add on bonus of playing music to... 
Solar Flares keep coming
Onemug, Maybe Mr. Bush will use one of those "weapons of mass destruction" he's gonna find in Iraq to snuff out the sun.Thsalmon,What can I say? Get over yourself man, have a laugh or two.. 
Solar Flares keep coming
Solar flares are just part of the "axis of evil". Just ask Dubya and Mr. Ashcroft. It's a carefully disguised terror attack. Washington announced earlier today a Pentagon program aimed a "snuffing out" the sun as part of the on-going "war-on-terro...
