| What time do you wear? Dearest Khrys -- For performance, I recommend a 1957 NIST cesium atomic beam device. (+/- 1 second every 20 million years or so) although it is a bit unwieldy for my favourite alligator strap in olive. For just hanging out in a pair of jeans and s... | |
| Best Turntable: Rockport or Goldmund? Khrys-- Don't know the Shun Mook line for bikes but thanks for the feedback. I have been hoping to get our relationship back on track after you trashed me in a previous post. | |
| More power "better" You can never have too much (amplifier) power, RAM, wit, compassion, intelligence or horsepower. Contrary to popular belief, however, it is quite possible to be too rich and/or too thin. | |
| Best Turntable: Rockport or Goldmund? Khrys -- thanks for the sensible advice, which I am sure is very helpful to other readers as well. But I have had better results with the cassette adaptor, purchased from Brookstone I think in 1987. A cassette shaped device slides into my Kraco un... | |
| Horrific Confession and Question It's not the fact that the speakers are well marketed. Rolexes, Mercedes, and Absolut vodka are well marketed but I have no problem with that. What's offensive is that the aggressive marketing of BOSE speakers is disguised with pseudo scientific b... | |
| help with speaker selection! Don'r know if you are attached to the Rotel, but I'm with Dekay. I am, by no means, a Linn disciple, but I once heard a pair of Linn Kans pushed up against a wall and driven by a Naim Nait integrated amp sound wonderful. | |
| Horrific Confession and Question I, too, have suffered from this disease in the Tower Records classical system, and felt deeply ashamed to look up and spot Bose mini speakers in the ceiling!! (Compare with Mark Levinson, Jadis and Martin Logans at home!) Can some of our more tech... | |
| Your Best Moment of Audio Exuberance Funny how nobody has mentioned listening to The Ring through an Audio Note Onagaku with Jadis speakers and Shun Mook products. | |
| anyone heard sony s9000es I have been thinking about chucking my CD gear for this machine and a new turntable, but this thread is pretty lukewarm. I thought I read in other threads (maybe another site?) that this component is the second coming -- amazing on everything even... | |
| Your Best Hobbies (other than Audio) Dear Khrys: Regarding your hobbies of "Sloth, gluttony, and lust" you might enjoy spending some time in London. Although the weather sucks, the food sucks, everything is overpriced and the people are a buch of xenophobic, yank hating, parochial wa... | |
| Best Zip Code for Perfect Life Dear Khrys: I have eaten at Smythes near the shomps e lee zay many times. And I love their French champagne!! But, for authentic English food, the curried Conch salad at Churchill's in Barbados is definitely the best. ...I can also trash London wi... | |
| Best Zip Code for Perfect Life CFB, not to follow you off subject but I think you are absolutely right -- NYC, for all of its culture and world class bluster and bravado is a very money and career obsessed, American city. It is international from the perspective of its working ... | |
| Best Zip Code for Perfect Life Cornfedboy -- delighted you like my town more than you like my posts. I think London is the new center of the global village and universe and I am devastated to now be moving back to NYC after many years there. Despite my devotion to London, howev... | |
| High Fidelity Sex Objects OK OK OK. I was just trying to get your attention and show some sense of humour. And cornfedboy, I think you do actually get it. But on reflection your point about the Dragon was right -- it is a little plasticky. The 700 ZXL was quite sexy, howev... | |
| High Fidelity Sex Objects So I guess we have already descended into adolescent silliness. To give you a hint, I rarely listen to the radio or cassettes, but I lust for my Yamaha T-2 and Nakamichi Dragon. These components perform very well, but there is also something speci... |
