| How many power conditioners do you own and use? avguygeorge: you're right. stick with the "av" part. i doubt you'd look good in a dress.-kelly | |
| How many power conditioners do you own and use? george: so i think perhaps you need to drop the "av" part of your moniker. in answer to your question: zero.-cfb | |
| Are you Guys Rich or What!? and i agree with sean, entirely! -cfb | |
| Who R U? bishopwill: so you've opened the closet door and declared yourself a crimson-tide "objectivist," no longer lurking in the shadows, ready to play a game of kick-the-can. or is it capture-the-flag?Beware the Jabberwock, my son!The jaws that bite, th... | |
| Can you receive hdtv signals on dig. cable? mejames: and that's 5 more than you can get on cable. BTW, i don't think you're counting the "big 4" or 5 in your calculation, nor the premium sports channels. -cfb | |
| Are you Guys Rich or What!? mhubbard: can you explain, please, how you know with such apparent conviction, that "anything I add at this point will not make a huge difference"? i assume that you offer up this assertion after having tried every frontend, every power source, ev... | |
| Can you receive hdtv signals on dig. cable? i live in denver, the current but soon to be former headquarters of at&t broadband. i noticed a quite perceptible improvement moving from analog to digital cable. nonetheless, i'm dumping cable altogether because: (1) i'm fed up to my eyeballs... | |
| Amp quality / Slam mhubbard: i, too, enjoyed viewing the dvd of "apocalypse now, redux." it's a mistake, however, to call it a "remaster." it's closer to a "director's cut," with lots of added scenes. some work, some don't. just the extra footage of robert duval's a... | |
| accuphase 75 vs. electrocompaniet mk11 mike: my a/b comparison of the electro (w/ upgrade) to the 75v leads to my quite personal preference for the 75v. my preference is based on the 75v run direct to the amp (accuphase a-50v); hence, if your only source is digital (the 75v can be upgr... | |
| accuphase 75 vs. electrocompaniet mk11 dkonstruction: tho i'm a well-known fan of accuphase, i think you'd be better served with the electrocompaniet. the dp-75 is outmoded technology, having been replaced by the 75v in mid-1999. the electro. is one of the very best cdp's i've heard in... | |
| Like it or not..... FWIW, i've never found it necessary to re-install ANY version of the mac os. and i shall forever refuse to tithe to the church of st. gates, even if i'm forced to learn unix. -cfboh yeah, good to see your > again, sean. -kelly | |
| Which monitor speakers are the most detailed... if you can find em' used, the ae-1 signatures are simply amazing. you might also look for some hot-rodded westlake audio monitors. boulder amps has used several pairs in their demo rooms. -cfb | |
| Anybody happy with high power Krell? tim: don't be gettin' too excited. the osirises (now replaced in the avalon line by the sentinels) do weigh a half ton crated but are comprised of more than two "parts."david: i don't think you'd be happy long-term with krell amps on your speakers... | |
| Looking for comments on Piega P2, P2 limited, P5 mgs- i'd try a pair of avalon symbols (msrp $3k) or used avalon arcus' or eclipse classics (both should be available for under $5k). -cfb | |
| How Do You Decide What to Listen To? tim: i can't believe you're a greg brown fan. you know he's another cornfedboy, still hangin' in iowa city? i have everything he's ever recorded. moreover, a signed photograph of mr. brown, taken by steve stone (former s'phile reviewer and "offici... |
