| Can you work hard while listening to music? Twl, you forgot "I've been working on the railroad"...Cwlondon, excellent thread! I hope you'll get a ton of responses. One trick that I've found to be effective when working from my home office is to play music of any kind - light jazz is best - ... | |
| Audiogoners, I love you........ What I love most about this site (besides the fanatasic deals on mint-condition used equipment from trustworthy and knowledeable people)... is that the A'gon forum provides a free education for novices like myself, and an opportunity for individua... | |
| Top This "Fire and Rain" by James Taylor. Let's make them all cry their eye out when JT hits the "... but I always thought I'd see you one more time again" line! | |
| Tice Audio Speaker, IC's & Power Cords Any Good ? I can tell you that Tice Audio is a highly reputable company, and that George Tice is a wonderful person to deal with. As with many high-end companies, Tice Audio is a small operation with about 6 employees, so there is a lot of pride in the workm... | |

| Where to buy unterminated speaker wire Another vote for Kimber. Sdcampbell says it well. I'm using about 700 feet of their Kwik 12 for a whole house in-ceiling application, but I also use 8TC with a pair of Talon Khorus. The 8TC is just an incredible value, and I suspect that their 4VS... | |
| Velodyne HGS-18 subwoofer Mark, the comments above are right on target. I have the HGS-15, but understand that they are very similar. Do get the blasted thing off the floor as Perfectimage suggests, and adjust the volume control in the back to your desires. About 3 out of ... | |
| How do I start? Geez, where to begin? Glen is right on target if you really want to jump in head first and to keep it simple. The Linn Classik and a pair of monitors (Triangle Titus for $499, Mission 780's, B&W's - lots and lots of nice stuff out there - list... | |
| When will the "Madness" stop After about 10 years as an avid golfer, I put my clubs aside for a while... which has now turned into 6 years. When I can enjoy the game again without being too self-critical, maybe I'll swing a few clubs in the backyard sandbox with plastic golf ... | |
| Best Looking components / your vote please I like Dolly Parton's components. Not very musical, but the best L-OO-KING and the highest "drool factor" by far... | |
| Ever wonder why things are screwed up? Bishopwell, your story reminds me of a story I heard about someone who used a new credit card that he had fogotten to sign the back of. The clerk took his card without checking the back for his signature. She then ran it through the credit card ma... | |
| Wiring a dedicated line Viridian, when you ask "How can I put a dedicated line into myself for home theater?" I hope you don't really mean what I think you do! (Although your wife may quite enjoy the entertainment)... just kidding. | |
| Sony DVP-S9000ES Availability??? I've heard the same as Rwwear but cannot confirm. Why not pick up a used 9000ES on this forum? I did at considerable savings relative to buying new, and for most 9000ES onwers, the factory warrenty from Sony is a non-issue anyway since it will soo... | |
| Ever wonder why things are screwed up? Albert, I hope you don't mind, but I've taken liberty to cut and paste your message (without associating your name to it, nor taking credit for it myself) and sent it a goodly portion of my mailing list. Well done, sir! | |
| How have your tastes changed? Tireguy, you're only 21 years old? Simply amazing! I've always read your posts with great interest, and am often enlightened by your (in my estimation) advanced knowledge and passion for all things audio. It's probably a good thing that you didn't... |
