| Songs that you just have to sing "Time in a Bottle" by Jim Croce"Satisfaction" by the Rolling Stones"Blowin' In the Wind" by Bod Dylan (I'm told that this song has been translated into something like 17 languages, but that may be an Urban Legend. I've never seen or heard any but ... | |
| Songs that you just have to sing I just thought of another one - "Horse With No Name" by America, and perhaps my imagination is slightly overactive this morning, but I think this would make a great theme song for a sequal to "Castaway" starring Tom Hanks. Put Mr. Hanks in a deser... | |
| What companies have gone above and beyond? Lots of people have had good vibes with Brent at Virtual Dynamics. Nice guy, eh?My best experience to date has been with John Meyer, who is the founder and designer at Newform Research. I spoke with him AFTER buying a used pair of R645's and he in... | |
| How to keep housemates from using your rig? This reminds me of a college roommate (20-odd years ago) who would leave piles of knives and spoons on the kitchen counter (not even in the sink!) for weeks on end, all with assorted goodies smeared on them - mostly peanut butter - which the ants ... | |
| Another Scam on E Bay Sean, this sounds like a matter that the local police could provide some assistance with. I think the seller's city is identifiable on Audioweb as it is here on A'gon. Depending on the seller's location and his surname, it might be possible to VER... | |
| Another Scam on E Bay Samski, I'd suggest first that you report this incident to Ebay immediately. They have (or should have) a strong interest in providing quality services to their customers. To the extent that complaints are isolated, very little will be done. Ebay ... | |
| What are the 5 most overrated rock albums? Tweekgeek, I'm with you on the Marley thing, and always believed that Bunny Wailer and Peter Tosh were far better musicians. Bob couldn't really sing for that matter, but he sure did have business savvy and that's why he took top billing among his... | |
| What are the 5 most overrated rock albums? Viridian, it took me about five years to realize that Madonna and Cindy Lauper were two different people! She's got to go, especially now that she's embarassing herself in London. Oh, and Michael Jackson's "Thriller" was about the biggest piece of... | |
| What are the 5 most overrated rock albums? I'm glad nobody has picked on Elvis! He died, didn't he? | |
| What is the best 6 piece sub/sat system under 2k? I can give you a quick primer, but this is all based on some web-research I did a couple of months ago. I was looking for the same arrangement - 5.1 sub/sat, smallish size, same budget - for my fiancee's apartment. It was my way of saying that I w... | |
| What's your tube pre doing? Sorry, speaker-wise, I've got a pair of Talon Khorus on their way (the originals, not the new X version). Also a pair Talon Peregrines, Newform Research 645R's and Martin Logan Aerius. At the moment I'm running the Newforms with the EVo's using 2 ... | |
| What's your tube pre doing? I'm trying to establish a reference point (other than the LS7 which I've not heard). South43 (or anyone), have you heard the Bel Canto SEP1? Jeff Fritz at Soundstage did a glowing review about 3 years ago. This is also a Class A single-ended triod... | |
| Help? Who is this non-US custom-order spkr mfgr? This sounds like Home Theater Direct, although they're based in Texas (which is pretty close to the US, depending on what side you're on!)... I'm probably wrong, but I've heard good things about this company's LEVEL 3 product line in terms of it's... | |
| WEL -- Wife Equivalent Language Thanks for the warning, Tim. I'll encourage her to use our Creek OBH-11 SE / Sennheiser HD 600 headphone set-up when she's on the computer, and never through the computer's CD drive. This combo is quite nifty BTW, and she seems to enjoy it because... | |
| WEL -- Wife Equivalent Language George, I can feel your pain. For Mother's Day, I had to buy her the latest Celine Doin CD! It reminded me of the first time I had to buy tampons for her! "Oh no, it's not for me... I don't listen to this..." In fact, I'm always teasing her about ... |
