Blue Circle BC-86 III
Hi Bmwhaus.At the previous 2003 CES Kevin Allen gave me a demonstration of the effects of one, then two Noise Hounds in the Blue Circle room. They were hooked to a little contraption that Gilbert Yeung built, and I was pretty impressed, they had a... 
Gear NOT in your audio system - what do you like?
I don't have extensive first hand experience with a lot of gear, but one piece that does stand out is the Pass Aleph 3 which I borrowed for a month last summer. If it wasn't for some impedance mismatching with my other components it's very likely ... 
Anyone still do insightful or intelligent lyrics?
Have you guys been to www.EnoShop.co.uk? Neat stuff.Marco,Those aren't lyrics I posted. Remember when GW Bush was sitting in that classroom of kids and the guy came in and whispered in his ear that a second jet had hit the Twin Towers? Remember th...

Anyone still do insightful or intelligent lyrics?
In general I don't listen to lyrics, because for me the music is where it's at."Institutionalized" by Suicidal Tendencies on the other hand is an entirely different story. The words to that song are unforgettable...that is, if you can decipher them.

Tube Equipment: Gimmick?
Aggie, I definitely can't dispute your choice, brother! I guess a better way of me stating my preference is that I enjoy eating both vanilla and chocolate ice cream. But I'll get more scoops of chocolate, heheh. 
Tube Equipment: Gimmick?

Hours sitting around just listening to music?
Wow, it sounds like our audio sanctuaries are just that. No surprise here I guess. Low light, something to nibble on, sip and read make it that much more enjoyable.Happy listening!

Favorite all-in-one remote control?
I've been using a Marantz RC2000mkII since '98 and really like it a lot. I've never used another brand so I'm unable to make a comparison with the other nice ones out there. 
Hours sitting around just listening to music?
For me it's a weird thing. Because of my work schedule, sometimes I go days or weeks without being able to park my ass in my listening chair. And then there are times I listen to music and read while sitting there from 8am until evening with a few... 
Tube Equipment: Gimmick?
Heheh, Slappy, no matter how many people slap you, you can't be kept down!You're right, and I don't get it either, why do so many people need to convince others their own opinions are the correct one. Why does it matter? Listening to music is art,...
