    AH members: who are you voting for US president?

    Since the AH community seems to be pretty conservative , it is heartening to see a majority for Obama here.

    Worst Audio Purchases You Made

    I would be interested in that, also. I have occasionally considered Ohm speakers, so it would be good to know about any shortcomings they might have. (Of course, like all ID brands, they can only be auditioned by the laborious process of buying them and then returning them if not satisfied.)

    Women and Home Theater: Audioholics 2008 State of The CE Union is For Everyone

    My (latest) girlfriend was very impressed by the quality of the picture on my HD TV. On the other hand, her impression of the sound was limited to "could you turn it down some?".

    Eminem's new album...

    I can't stand any rap, but I always found him to be the worst of all.

    Worst Audio Purchases You Made

    Carver CD player on ebay. When I got it, the drawer would not even open. The guy who sold it claimed that it worked when he had it, so it must have been "damaged during shipping". I never got a nickel back. Klipsch Reference bookshelf speakers. I thought they sounded good at first, but after...

    Coffee (What'cha'drink?)

    That warning has been a legal requirement ever since some woman spilled hot coffee on herself and then sued McDonalds, like it was their fault!:eek:

    Coffee (What'cha'drink?)

    For health reasons, I have given up caffiene. On the other hand, I still love the taste of good coffee. I get the best whole-bean decaf I can find and grind it fresh. Some of it is very good, but I miss the larger selection that "real" coffee offered.

    Why do people defy logic?

    Refusal to accept logic is not limited to audio. For example, even after all these years, there are still idiots who think the Apollo moon landing was a hoax!:eek:

    School Bullies

    I can definitely understand bullies being the cause of school shootings. I was harassed by bullies when I was in middle school, and if I had had access to a gun, I might well have killed a couple of them.

    $85,000,000,000 We Deserve It Dividend

    This isn't even the first time I have seen that particular bit of bad math. Someone here at work arrived at the same false conclusion.

    Definitive Tech Speaker Owner's Thread

    Considering that Def Tech makes excellent speakers while Bose sucks, I would say definitely not. Now, maybe if we were to combine the Bose owners and the Paradigm owners...:rolleyes:

    Bose systems that sound good

    I can't address their electronics, but I have yet to hear any Bose speakers that sounded at all decent. (Even their heaphones suck compared to much lower priced offerings from other brands such as Sennheiser.)

    Amorphous Androgynous, Future Sound Of London

    I have FSOL's Lifeforms and The Isness. Both are really excellent CDs. (Lifeforms is the more experimental of the two.) I will have to check out Amorphous Androgynous, since I like that type of music. Have you heard Banco De Gaia?

    Definitive Tech Speaker Owner's Thread

    Actually, I think it is a no brainer so long as those are the only two brands under consideration. Def Techs ae all-around excellent performers, while Klipsch are excessively bright.
