Ah, OK. The obvious difference is that, because speakers vibrate, there is a reason that speaker stands could (at least in theory) make a difference. By contrast, there is no mechanism whatsoever that could allow a reciever stand to make a difference.

Then I am clearly missing something. I tried and failed to find some sort of sarcastic interpretation.:confused:

Not sure where this question came from (I was discussing speaker stands.) My CD player and integrated amp are stacked on the floor, with no rack.

If so, I will have to avoid mentioning this sort of thing to her, or she will flee in terror!:eek:

...I actually hear a difference between two pairs of speaker stands. I own nice stands by Plateau and cheaper ones by Omnimount for my S30s (long story.) The Plateaus are quite obviously heavier and more stable. The speakers also sound better on them (especially the bass.) If I hadn't...

When it first started happening, I had maintenance come and check out the electrical system. They couldn't find anything wrong, but replaced the outlet as a precaution. It didn't help. (I also tried it in other rooms. It throws whichever breaker it happens to be on.)

I can't remember the brand on my microwave. What I do know is that I can use it at most once per day. Attempting to use it twice in a day will throw a breaker, every time. Full power is the only option, because a lower setting makes it cycle on and off, which throws the breaker.

A couple of good, sustained email conversations. One seems close to becoming a real date.

Interesting. The exact, diametric opposite of my experience. I felt that going from 600s to 700s was a total waste of money, and would recommend the 600s to anyone looking at B&W.

A somewhat obscure electronic CD that I have always liked is Colorform by Higher Intelligence Agency.

Sure. Let's tell China "Get out of Tibet now, or we nuke Beijing!":D

I thought it was HiFiHoney's self-portrait.

Recent discovery: Stanton Moore III. Classified as "jazz" but really much more rock. This guy doesn't just play the drums, he plays the hell out of the drums!

As far as B&W is concerned, I think that the 600 series offers substantially better value for money than the 700 series. I made the mistake of "upgrading" from 602s to 705s, and no way was it worth the $900 price difference.

Good advice, but nearly impossible to follow. Opportunities to audition have become rare these days. For the majority of brands/models it has become necessary to follow the ID model (buy/try/return) if you want to hear them.

If I need to get my blood boiling, I listen to pond-scum like Rush Limbaugh.:)

Can't deny that. Guns make killing a lot easier, though. You see a lot of school kids shooting and killing a bunch of their classmates at once these days. How many would they have been able to take down with a knife?

There is a liberal radio talk show host??!!:eek::confused::eek::confused:

Is Saturday Audio reliable? I know they have some good deals, but their website has a shady, "white van" feel to it.

He was talking about buying them from a friend, not a company.
