Records are better. I actually heard it
I second that Twl!My epiphany was verified when my own non-audiophile wife commented after a record side ended one evening: "that sounded better than any CD I've ever heard. Now I understand". Friends think I'm crazy when I tell them vinyl really ... 
Philadelphia area audio club?
Rushton-I thought I would cross-post to your thread from mine on the Southern New Jersey club. I would be interested in getting together with folks on your side of the Delaware River. My home and system are available as a location for some listeni... 
NJ Audio Society?
Hi Duddley-What part are you in? We have just started (albeit informally) something down here in Southern NJ. We got 4 people together at my place on 2/1. Audioman4: check your email.Rushton (Phila. Audio group): If you read this, I see you recent... 
Who is the Youngest Audiogoner??
Aroc,My name comes from one of my favorite Grateful Dead tunes:Slipknot!, from the Blues For Allah LP. I get a lot of assumptions that it's for "that other band". Thinking maybe I should change it to something more staid like my real name. My ISP ... 
Who is the Youngest Audiogoner??
If you ask my wife, she'll say me! My chronlogical age is in the 40's, but I am like a little kid on Christmas when it comes to audio. 
What is your listening room like?
My room is approx. 26x20x10, with the ceiling sloping from a height of 10ft along one long wall to 8ft along the opposite long wall. It is also our living room. Most of the gear is located in a closet just outside the room. Speakers and turntable ... 
Is 2 channel dead?
I bought an expensive processor and a 5 channel amp. Only use the processor for movies, and only use the front channels of the amp most of the time. Since upgrading my vinyl rig, I can say that not only is 2 channel NOT dead, analogue and vinyl pl...

Magneplanar's
Jack -I have my MGIIIA's out in front and to the sides of my RPTV system. I have my system set up for 80% music, 20% film and as a result, keep my RPTV covered with an oriental rug when not watching a film. My equipment is in a closet just outside... 
My heart goes out to the families of Columbia
Ltkije - thanks for your kind offer. I think I may have a couple in mind: Morten Lauridsen "Lux AEterna" and Mahler "Symphony No.2 "Resurrection"" w/ Gilbert Kaplan and London Symphony 
My heart goes out to the families of Columbia
Needless to say, this puts our listening group gathering today on a rather somber note. This was to be the first get together for a fledgling South Jersey group, hosted at my home. Can anyone suggest some appropriate music to be played, provided w... 
Monitors Mounted On Wall
Second the Sound Dynamics. I have a pair of RTS 3's. They have a front port and work pretty well when place up against the wall. They work well on stands well out into the room as well. A versatile little speaker - dirt cheap. 
Who R U?
Great to see so many in "my age bracket". I just turned 47 on 1/6/03. I have been into this hobby since my early teens, growing up in the Buffalo area. My single biggest audio epiphany was hearing how good a high power sound system could be made t... 
what are your favorite movie soundtracks.
Rzemkoski-Great list! I can't believe I didn't list "Local Hero". it is my number one choice. I have the 1st pressing vinyl version and it is glorious! I also left out "Finding Forrester". Anyone not familiar with this, it is full of Miles Davis, ...
