I just saw Cantus down at the Washington Pavilion this evening- all I can say is WOW! :eek: Such an incredible group of singers, and a great performance. I'd almost forgotten the joy of coming home after a show and not having my ears ring! Cantus is a Minnesota based recording & touring...

I heard years ago he basically quit writing to go to work for MSNBC, but I've never heard nor seen him since. Does he have any journalistic involvement with audio anymore? He was brash, but one of my favorite writers. Even when he was full of it, his stuff was fun to read.

Check this out. The Worst Guitar Solos of all time. :rolleyes:

Man, I've got WAY too much time on my hands. :D

Sound City has a pretty nice deal right now- buy any Infinity speakers totalling $398 or more and get a free pair of Primus 150s. Those are pretty nifty looking 2-way bookshelfs, and they'd probably make nice surrounds (they've been reviewed well in the rags). Looks like a good break if you're...

What are the first 10 DVDs you'd have to replace if they were lost or stolen? I realize ten would just be a drop in the bucket, but I'm thinking of the ones you watch most frequently or would most hate not to have in the house.

I shouldn't have waited so long! :o Still, I'll be right in the center, about 18 rows back- should be primo seats. :D For those who haven't heard them, Cantus is a professional mens vocal group. Their albums are eclectic, spanning Gregorian chant and medieavel sacred music to world music &...

I have a question about the new Denon DVD player line. It's directed to the Admin, but if anyone else can answer that would be great. What I wonder is how the bass management works. Is there one global setting for all formats? That's how it works with the 2200/2900/5900. You choose...

I've noticed an awful lot of you don't have avatars. While it's certainly not a requirement, an Avatar picture is a nice way to customize your profile and add a dash of indivuality to your posts. And for football fans with stellar enough taste to be Vikings fans {or even if your tastes run to...

A priest and a pastor from the local church are standing by the side of the road, pounding a sign into the ground, that reads: "The End Is Near! Turn Yourself Around Now -- Before It's Too Late!" As a car sped past them, the driver yelled, "Leave us alone, you religious nuts!" From the curve...

Just curious if anyone here owns modded gear, and if so what type of mods. And if so, does anyone feel they've done/purchased mods that improved the sound or picture quality? I have only one peice that's been heavily modded (a Pioneer DVD player), and that was modded before I bought if, so...

What's the chances you could use your spiffy new lab to run a series of double blind listening test? That seems to be a hot button topic here anyway. Amps and cables would be the ideal things to test first. I can't recall where you're physically located, but I'd love to see some cable...

Audio Advisor has a dinged up pair of Athena's at an unbeatable price. I have no affiliation with AA, nor have I ever purchased from them, but the price is good.

Might as well throw this in while everything's stirred up anyway! :D How do you guys feel about MC? Is MC better? How do you feel about "legacy" 2CH material being remixed for MC? Will MC replace stereo as the dominate mode of music playback in the future? I realize the poll is too...

How much credence do you put in measurements? Do you feel that a components sound & performance is entirely related to its measured specs? A recent discussion has got me curious just where the bulk of the AH crowd falls on the spectrum of objective measurements vs subjective listening. I...

Okay, not everything. But a bunch. My rack is getting full and I'm itching to get some new stuff, so I'm thinning the herd. First come first serve. Anything that doesn't sell in a few days will go to Ebay or my local used store. Anything I can't get rid of will stay. I've posted my list at...

I think all else being equal, more power is better. And I suppose in an of themselves, bells & whistles are okay. But what I find baffling is why manufactures invariable tie more power in with more features. Why is this? Just because I may want 150 Watts per channel doesn't automatically...

Okay, Denon factory reps, listen up. And anyone with some pull with Onkyo, Yamaha & Marantz should check this out, too. In case any of you have been hiding out in a cave somewhere, there's currently a revolution underway in digital amplification. Texas Instruments, Tripath and B&O...

For sale: one PHILIPS DVD795SA 5-Disc DVD / SACD Changer, in immaculate condition, absolutely like-new. The unit is a couple months old with maybe 20 hrs on it. Haven't even filled out the warranty card. I have the box, remote, & all packaging materials. This unit is very interesting in...

I thought since another thread was meanering off in this general direction, I'd start a new thread. Do you feel the best loudspeakers of today are to to being able or are able to perfectly replicate a live event? If not, how close are they now, as a percentage? How good can a preproduction...
