My next splurge will be a HDTV. I will more than likely make other non splurge (less than $1000) purchases before then. :cool:

I learned a while ago not to have much expectation for a Disney treatment of any SciFi title. They seem to reduce even the best story to the lowest common denominator. That said, PBS has just shown the original BBC production of "The Guide" here in Philly. They showed the entire series in one...

Hey Resident Loser! I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one who dislikes effects boxes on guitars. Although I am a bass player (Fender Precision Ser. 14712) I have always tried to make my electric instruments sound like my old German upright. Neither the Fender or my chocolate brown Gibson EB3 can...

I refuse to give away priveliged information. You must read for yourself. I have all of the series in hardback. I also have the movie both long and short versions and copies of both of the mini-series from the Sci Fi Channel. When you break and run in battle you can piss people off for a long...

In the 1K plus collection of vinyl I own there are many recordings that frankly don't sound all that good. It has just been my experience over the last 30 plus years that trying to re-engineer a given recording rarely if ever results in better sound. I do listen to many poorly recorded...

As my equipment got better I found my need/desire for an equalizer became less. My current rig doesn't even have tone controls. My advice is buy good stuff and set it up properly. If you do this you will probably have no need for an equalizer. :cool:

There is no good reason to have more than the single front pair of speakers. I am not talking about the center channel speaker, just the two fronts. If you are not satisfied with the sound of your front speakers you would be happier buying replacements. There are lots of good sounding speakers...

Although classical is only a small percentage of my music collection. The following get a lot of play here. Beethoven Symphony No. 9 Roger Norrington Cond. EMI D100467 The Jazz Album, Simon Rattle Cond. EMI 172226 The Firebird, Robert Shaw Cond. Telarc CD 80039 W. A. Mozart Eine kleine...

If you have a Blose video stuff send me that also. I'll just add it to the fire. :cool:

What on earth are you doing with all those Blose noisemakers. Dan! I'll accept the money either way. :cool:

For me it started with music. I bought a Fisher KX90 kit amp in 1967. Combined with a Perpetum Ebner TT and some Lafayette speakers it helped keep me sane while I was in the service. In 1975 I purchased a Pioneer TVX9500. It was a tuner(mono only) that picked up only the audio from broadcast tv...

As speakers go higher efficiency does not mean higher accuracy. Higher accuracy means just that. The most accurate speakers I have ever heard were a pair of Quad ESL57's driven by Quad tube amps. No bass very smooth high end and an inability to play loudly. The midrange was to die for. :cool:

Started reading printed magazines when Stereo Review was HiFi & Stereo Review. I have in my library old editions of stereophile including one with a cover picture of Dave and Cheryl Lee Wilson seated in front of the original WAMMS. Have had an email address for almost 20 years. Have been using...

I would gladly accept and use any item I won. I must admit that a receiver would be immediately put up for sale. I have never owned one and see no reason to start now. :cool:

Carver used to make a device that connected to speaker level outputs and gave an output that was optimized for a power amp. I believe the device was only 2-channel so it would require 2 or more of these devices. With one or more of those you could use an external power amp or amps. Check with...

I have some old Bose 301's. I am going to burn then July 4, 2005 unless you all get together and collectively ante up $50,000. I am also accepting donations for wood for the bonfire. Send money or the 301's get torched or send money and the 301's torched. :rolleyes:

You want names of people. How about Saul Marantz David Hafler Peter Walker As for gear Audio Research Corporation SP3 preamp and D120 power amp :cool:

Parts Express has a variety of shrink tube. You might also want to check John Risch's website. He has a variety of diy cable projects. Also see attached PDF file. http://www.*****************/

Recently acquired Ghost In The Shell 2. Loooooove It! :cool:

Woofing is about moving air. Those little boxes simply can't move enough air. :cool:
