  1. I take it your town must be well stocked with linens and things?
  2. Just hook them up and play them. After 1000 hours you won't know the difference. Some will say it's the dielectric that is being conditioned, because wire is wire, comparing apples to apples.
  3. Nice site! Oh man it would be cool to have one of those bubble hockey tables complete with boo buttons!
  4. We have a lot of the same taste in music cask. Billy Cobham on your set-up must be phenomenal! I will add prog rock including ELP and Yes, plus Zappa, Zevon, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Chick Corea, Count Basie, Gypsy Kings, Moody Blues...
  5. Search this forum, especially in the ht section, I've seen some decent solutions. Personally I went through the walls into the attic and back down, and yes parts were a pita. The fish tape properly secured would go between cross studs and the drywall with patience and effort.
  6. After all this my shoulder hurts, but i think it is really from the neck. "What a drag it is, getting old.."
  7. I took a fish head out to the movies Didn't need to ticket to get it in.
  8. Search around there are products which are made for this and are paintable for maximum blending. If you get really ambitious and own the place you might investigate going up into the wall and back down the desired wall location. A fish tape wire and a hole drill bit are good tools for this.
  9. At first I thought you were looking at Pipedreams. Five feet is a little short for a nice soundstage, twelve will be much nicer, can you run a covered wire over the door trim?
  10. If you are going to play with tubes, then remember this rule: Don't crush that dwarf, hand me the pliers....
  11. I've always said if I owned a radio station the motto would be "No Neil Young or Journey, ever!"
  12. So the rationale for this is that the animal only eats the best, yet passes it through as a brewable bean. It's a premium bean, except its been through the digestive tract of an animal. Sounds like you'd be better off picking the best beans yourself and skip the excremental process. Of course human error then comes into play but ffs it's only coffee. No I have not tried it.
  13. I'm just glad it wasn't my step brother (lives in Seattle).
  14. Closest we have had to a flame war in a long time...
  15. Non sequitur ladies and gentlemen.....
  16. That sounds awfully high even in dollars aus.
  17. For the doors there is one for practically every lyric and song. Soft Parade Wild Child Mojo Risin Peacefrog American Night Moonlight Drive Crystal Ship Back Door Men Through the Doors Rhodehouse The Doors Alive Morrison Hotel Doors of Deception The Double Doors Riders on the Storm Lizard King
  18. Thebes, tribute band names for the Tubes might include The Tied Tubes and The Snipped Tubes.
  19. If you like single point drivers then find a way to listen to a pair of Maxxhorns. They are huge and sound great at close distance as well. For that matter Klipschorns sound great at close distances too. Define close for starters, and try to listen to as many different speakers as you can, then try to explain why lesser bass response speakers "blow away" those floorstanders.
  20. Red is grey and yellow white. And which is an illusion?
  21. It's more of a what if question than a philosophical one.
  22. I'm disappointed Diz. You should have said, "yes. I am the drummer."
