Real cutting edge review- that's been out longer than most guys here have been alive!:p Still it's good to see some other fans of Franks out there. My personal favorite of his albums is Dragonfly Summer.

They're not even more "complex"- as if that's the Gold Standard. A lot of prog is intricate enough to stand the average jazz guy on his ear.

I don't care much for it. But I loved his previous one. Go figure.:)

Hmmm...do you know what a spaghetti western is?:confused:

News of their demise has been greatly exaggerated.;)

And I suppose you like your old black and white films colorized, too.;)

It's a Butler TDB5150, an output-transformerless 150 x 5 ch tube amp. It runs so cool you can leave it on 24/7, according to reports. I think it's simply beautiful, myself. It actually verges on affordability, with street prices well under $2500. I've been drooling over it and its smaller...

I agree there's not a lot of "modern classical" music that I like. There is some, however, depending upon what you term modern. Rachmaninov was brilliant, and I really love the music of Howard Hansen. There aren't really many composers of the last 40 years that I've liked, and I really...

Is it just me or does anyone else get a tingle in their nether regions when they look at this? And, no, Chris or Mtrycrafts need not respond! They only date schoolmarms.;) :D

Yeah, like any women come around Audioholics!;) :p

To drive men crazy!:D

The only one I've seen is The Island. Despite being a box office bomb I thought it was really good. Not master-classic-good, but very solid. Probably a 7.5-8 or so.

I agree, that's a nice rig- but too expensive for many.

Acurus (a sister company to Aragon) made some. There's a 200 x 3 Acurus on Agon right now for around $600. I don't know the guy selling but he has very good feedback. Lots of companies make amps in 2/3/4 & 5 channel versions. Some are pretty spendy. What's your budget?

I'm talking apples-to-apples, Furry- not sardines to Beluga cavier.;) Check the prices on balanced cables from Cardas or Analysis Plus. And I've never seen XLR-terminated cables any cheaper than the $.50 cent patch cables you can find from a variety of vendors. I've got several XLR cables...

You can get a really nice Pelican system switcher for under $100. It lets you connect 7 different consoles, with three or four digital inputs and component video, and includes a wireless remote. I have one myself. NOTE: I bought mine at Best Buy, and I've seen them at several gaming shops...

Sadly the SuperBowl won't be going thru Minnesota this season.:(

Wow, nice work! They look very professional. Your woodworking skills (and patience levels) are obviously very good.

I don't know how to "bring the masses back" to the theater. Mostly they've never left; gates have been a little down, but it's not like people aren't going at all. With the weather and high energy prices, couple with a dicey economy and other concerns, some aren't able to afford to see as many...

Not everything with XLR's is truly balanced. And while fully balanced may be the "wet dream" of some, I've noticed on the 'Gon that often a balanced peice either won't sell or goes for 15%-20% less than a single ended version would. Buy cables with XLRs limits your choices and increases your...
