| Which musician retired too soon? Yes, Peter did get a wonderful tone from his guitar and amp, didn't he? If you think about, a lot of the rock performers we've loved simply created a great great tone such as Jorma Karkaroun (sp?), Jerry Garcia, etc. Much of their doodlings were n... | |
| Which musician retired too soon? "He may be principled, but he's not stupid. Ever think of what happened to those who did speak up? Let's just say, they'll never be heard from again."Maybe I misunderstood the above statement absolving Stevens of speaking up against radical Islam ... | |
| Which musician retired too soon? Christians are constantly criticized, ridiculed, and denigrated in public, on TV, in movies, newspapers, music, etc. Not one of those who do it regularly (George Carlin, Bill Maher, etc, etc.) is in any danger from the hapless people they attack. ... | |
| Which musician retired too soon? Boa2 makes a good point but please allow me one more indulgence. I don't know if Stevens (Yusef Islam) is a Shiite, Sunni, or Sufi (I think the other two sects have pretty much wiped out the Sufis) but why on earth embrace a religion where your ow... | |
| Which musician retired too soon? Cat Stevens retired for deeply held religious convictions?!? Anyone else remember he supported the murder fatwah against Salmon Rushdie which resulted in at least two translators (one Japanese and the other European) being murdered? Anyone else ca... | |
| Suddenly, things are sounding awful... You really need to move those speakers back about 2 feet and move the sofa forward the same distance. I'd try it just for fun and I think the sofa and room would look better that way; more relaxed and friendly. It's a real cool looking room as is ... | |
| Preamps ... no bass or treble control? "The proof of a pudding is in the eating." - George HarrisonAs a music lover I would not reject anything for any other reason than it reduces the music coming from the speakers. As an somewhat neurotic audiophile I'd be very careful before introdu... | |
| Preamps ... no bass or treble control? Hpims is right about the Mac. Quad used to have a pretty good pre-amp with similar items but called them something other than tone controls; I can't remember what. I think two reasons exist for not having tone controls:1) It's still considered "le... | |
| Testicle Tumor My kickboxing instructor lost one of his testicles to cancer in 1985 when he was 36. He went through hellacious chemo and radiation but fully recovered and has been practicing and teaching mixed martial arts ever since. Now has 5th dan in Kempo ka... | |
| What the H ll Happened Here? Found out what problem was. Seems there was a voltage surge into our house and also house next door. Turns out my wife's laptop is also damaged as is a clock radio used in the basement. I'm going to make an insurance claim and see if this will be ... | |
| What the H ll Happened Here? Excellent info and advice, guys. I have plugged in two expensive Pinnacle speakers and am running them to see if anything else happens. I bought them new 6 years ago at 50% off for $115.00 pair at Accutronics Audio when they were going out of busi... | |
| What the H ll Happened Here? Rockvirgo,I did what you suggested and do hear a light but definite scraping sound from both woofers. I was playing organ music and then Hendrix (odd combo, eh?) and it was right after this the problem arose. However, I wasn't playing that loud an... | |
| ProAc Ref 8 vs. 8 Signature vs 1S vs 1SC Beheme,I am also from Michigan, just outside of Detroit. What stores did you work for? I've been in every audio store in the area many times since 1979, it's possible we've met. By the way, I first heard Tablettes in 1982 at a high end store in Fa... | |
| Anybody hear the Tonian Labs Montior Sorry for the long delay as work has been a bitch but, fortunately, music has been great. I got the supertweeters about 6 weeks ago as Tonian, at their expense, shipped the USPS lost one to me in two days - from California to Michigan.Even though ... | |
| Harbeth Owners - I Need Some Help After speaking at length with Noel at Skylan Manufacturing I ordered a pair of 21" four post stands (my sofa is a bit higher than average but, again, I don't hear a difference with 1-2" height changes) and have found them superb. I had them put to... |
