| Burned out hi fi salesman Evita Yes, very well and elegantly stated - the "routine" is ultimately deceitful and manipulative itself. It is sad that people would feel the need to employ that behaviour themselves, and I also appreciate your response.But on some level, I have... | |
| High Speed Ripping Laboratory for EAC Thanks for info so far and slothman, very interesting points!Of course, I would like to do this as quickly as possible, but not if I lose one single bit of data or have one skip in my hard drive based file.Other than the type of software to use, o... | |

| Maggies with Mark Levinson preamp/amp I have a pair of Tympani IVa's which I power with a 23.5, following feedback from the Magnepan factory that it was one of the "best amps ever" through the Tympanis.So I dont know how you could go wrong with the 1.6's. Too dark definitely won't be ... | |
| Burned out hi fi salesman LrskyAgain, I appreciate what I interpret to be your good intentions and sincerity here. But 25 years later, I still cringe at my memories of fellow audio salesmen peering through the glass door to check out a customers car before deciding if they... | |
| Burned out hi fi salesman I started working in an audio store when I was 16 years old. At about $3.75 an hour as I recall, my only motivation was a love for music and audio. This cynical assessment of customers ability to spend never entered my mind - perhaps because I was... | |
| Which Patricia Barber album floats yer boat? Bigjoe and othersI, too, think Patricia Barber has veered into the genre of audiophile weirdo music that may be great for demonstrating tweaky gear or selling geeked out vinyl, but really doesnt rate for timeless music.Of course, people who live i... | |

| Anyone notice House's loudspeakers? It is also interesting to note that Hugh Laurie plays an amazingly convincing American Manhattan father in Stewart Little. I am thrilled to think that my mother in law - who finds my electronics obsession ridiculous - is a huge Hugh Laurie/House f... | |
| Personal turntable/cartridge evolution ChadnlizYes, I think so -- it was a bronzey colored, supposedly rare tonearm by Grado, manufactured in the early 80's?It was very nicely constructed, had an S shaped wand and was relatively high mass as I recall.It was hyped and sold to me by my a... | |

| Ebay fraud alert Is there some way to send an email that would make the computer explode in order to kill the "seller"?There is something particularly vile about this type of crime to me.We should have special laws to protect children and audiophiles. | |
| Klipsch vs Maggies decisions I am in a dilemma:For my birthday dinner, I am either going to have steamed vegetables, or rib steak au poivre with chocolate cake.My point is, I cant think of two speakers that are more dissimilar than Klipsch and Magneplanars.So perhaps you need... |
