To scm; I had no idea gear was so expensive down under. Although most of the world seems to hate the US (not you Aussies) we do have some advantages. What kind of money does high end gear go for down under? What would be the cost of something like a Krell, Mark Levinson or a Conrad Johnson...

The only reason any jack or cable end has a specific color is to help keep the end user from plugging the wrong things together.:D

Most gear sold here in the USA is configured only for 110V/60hz. There are a few retailers who specialize in dual voltage unit. Most of the dual voltage stuff is high end separate type gear. Buying a receiver from the US is an awfully long way to go to get a receiver. I could understand doing...

I've been hit on the slopes by an errant boarder. A functionally unconscious driver hit me on my bicycle. I can't count the times an inattentive driver has almost hit me while I was riding my Honda. I'm against anything that takes your concentration away and isolates you from the world and its...

The Pope was right. He shouldn't have apoligized.:D

Aragon products especially their power amps are great products. Let us know what you think after comparing it to the power amp section of your receiver.:cool:

If you didn't deal with music compressed with lossy compression schemes you wouldn't need another distortion adding device to make them sound right.:cool:

Skiers are on the same slopes and we don't wear headphones. I suppose being totally self centered and completely selfish just doesn't wash with skiers. The me first and to hell with everyone else attitude is why a large majority of skiers don't have a lot of respect for boarders.:cool:

Of course getting hit by a 2 ton car travelling 40MPH is far worse than a 200 pound idiot travelling at the same speed. The point is I want neither to happen.:D

If he wanted to wear headphones while driving what would you say? Is there all that much difference when other people are involved?:confused:

Maybe you missed the part about the Lexicon being my first purchase in 4 years. It replaced a Lexicon purchased in 1988. My preamp is ten years old. My modified Dyna tubes are more than 30 years old. I buy gear with the intention of keeping it at least ten years. I suppose it's why I've never...

I already have a home theater system. I'm a professional in the computer field. Replacing HDD's after they have a premature failure is something I've gotten used to. It brings in considerable income. As long as HDD's are as unreliable as they are I will not be saving anything important to...

The deaf don't deliberately make themselves deaf. Those who are deaf would probably give a great deal to be able to hear at all. Making yourself deaf in a hazardous situation shows a lack of respect and concern for those around you. It seems as though there is a good reason for the attitude lots...

Check tnt-audio's web site they have a very nice DIY rack. I have built one of their dual flexy racks and I am very happy with it. It always gets favorable comments from visitors.:cool:

Some of the speakers JBL and Infinity market in Europe are different or not sold here in the US. I have been told that even when the same models are being marketed in both areas they are voiced slightly different for the two different markets.:cool:

Twice a year or so I ride up to my sister and brother in laws place. This is from Philly PA to Springfield MA. I go the back way so I don't have to deal with I95 the Jersey TP and that GW bridge thing.:cool:

Although I don't snowboard I do ski. The last thing I want is to be surrounded on the slopes by people who can't hear what is going on around them. I consider them dangerous to themselves (I don't really care about that) and me. Dangerous to me is something I'm concerned about. In snowboarding...

A while back I saw something on a site where the guy had actually purchased some of those cables and disassembled the boxes. After seeing what wasn't in them I know that even with Bill Gates' money I wouldn't buy them.:eek:
