| What was your first system, & did you like it? In the late 60's my parent let "the gang" hang out in our basement where we had a pool table and a 50's vintage portable phono. The contained speakers were fried so we spliced in a couple that we found somewhere. We used about 10' of wire, ran 'em... | |
| Comments on Fanfare FM-2G - FM Antenna I'm only familiar with the MD version, which 'looks' identical. Compared to a $1.98 RS dipole, the dipole won IN MY LOCATION AND SITUATION. It's my understanding that, dispite any manufacturer's BS, a directional at elevation is needed for any sig... | |

| Equipment found at the dump Not quite the dump... a friend from work gave me his '70's Realistic STA-2270 when he bought his theatre in a box. I found out later (in an emergency) that the 2270 was one of those 'hidden gems'. The tuner is especially impressive as it replaced ... | |

I purchased a 2.0 with bybee's through Walter and the improvement in dynamics/staging for this east coast apt. dweller was amazing. I added the high current filter later on and highly recommend it a... | |

| Classic rock album covers In the mid seventies I saw an entire side of a barn painted as In The Court of The Crimson King. And a beautiful, detailed piece of work it was! I think it was in Maine, but then, I'm lucky to have survived the sixties!!! | |

| What's your profession? Age? I'm 50 yrs. old and have been involved in textile research for thirty yrs. I've worked on everything from carbon fiber insulation for satellites to panty hose and from fly fishing line to bullet proof vests. My 2 ch. retails for 21K, but paid abou... | |
| Does your system reflect your personality? My system is none of those things either, Lazarus. However, it is quite vacuous!!! | |
| Cable management I agree with Theo, velcro is easy, neat and very reusable. McMaster-Carr carries rolls of every width and length at good prices (1/2" x 75' $15.50). Use foam pipe insulation to space cables away from each other, both power and signal...http://www.... |
