Thoughts On "Bowling For Columbine"
This thread makes we wonder...how many of us are liberal and how many are conservative? Maybe it's just because I'm a politics/policy guy in DC, but the question *does* cross my mind from time to time. 
2000$ - 7y old speakers - Better speakers today ?
If the application is SACD/DVD-A, one difference might be the speakers' frequency response. Many older speakers were not designed to go above 20 KhZ, in part because that was the limit of Redbook CD's audio reproduction. Now, however, many speaker... 
I am ready for TRUTH, I can handle the TRUTH
Tsrat--I went to grad school at the same university where Mr. Farley was an undergraduate (Marquette). Do I have to deduct extra points? I also went to college at the same school used in the Tom Green epic vehicle "Road Trip" (Ithaca). Will that a...

Shawn Colvin anyone?

Audio Alchemy DTi Pro 32 - Any Good?
Make SURE you give AA gear room enough to keep cool in your rack. I failed to do so, and I paid the price. That stuff runs hotter than Sophia Loren, baby! 
Satellite or CATV?
