| Help building around Sony 9000ES SACD player? Small room...I live in Washington, DC, so I'll *always* have a small room, since I'll never be able to afford a large living space. I'm thinking floor-standing, almost full range speakers (down to maybe 25 or 30 Hz), and preferably above 20 KhZ a ... | |
| Comcast HDTV??? I have Comcast here in the Washington, DC area, and I have an HDTV as well. I would be very curious to hear about your impressions, should you go the Comcast HDTV route in the end.Brian | |

| Phillips 962 & 963 My understanding is that the 963 is expected to be shipped to stores by March 3-ish, and should be in the hands of those who pre-ordered them by 3/10 or so. Of course, such dates are routinely pushed back, so who knows... | |
| The Year of the Universal Player I might consider the MSB model, which lists for $8000. It sounded out of my price range at first, but I think it's a receiver, DVD-A, SACD, CD player all built into one. So if I take what I'd want to spend on a universal player, and I add that to ... | |

| what is the meaning of this??? Very good, Octopus. Excellent, in fact! | |
| Ever Have One Of Those Evenings? Zaikesman--short answer: yes! Long answer: far more than any of us can ever fully understand. | |
| Ever Have One Of Those Evenings? Slipknot--I know. I work in the Hall of the States, right near the Capitol, and sometimes I wish I didn't have my ear so close to the ground in this town. The things I hear are truly, truly frightening. | |
| Ever Have One Of Those Evenings? I'm very liberal myself, but I guess I'm sort of surprised with how many other 'Goners are Democrats. Maybe just those of us who can afford *true* audiophile systems are Republicans. | |
| My wife finally got it Congratulations, my friend. Maybe there's no such thing as a perfect marriage, but it sounds like you and your wife took a dramatic step--she now loves something that you love! In many marriages, two people never take that step; they simply tolera... | |
| Thoughts On "Bowling For Columbine" All I can tell you, Lugnut, is that most people I know, i.e., professionals who live in Northwest or the suburbs, would be *extremely* uncomfortable carrying a weapon. Most of them just don't come from a gun-oriented background. I, myself, have fa... | |
| Thoughts On "Bowling For Columbine" Lugnut--I appreciate your request for my perspective. Basically, here's how Washington works: it's shaped like a baseball diamond, and the four quadrants are called NE, NW, SE, and SW. Northwest is almost universally safe from gun violence. That s... |
