  1. I hear ya. I bought my Technics SL-D2 right after my freshman year and still use the thing! When I could afford Klipsch I bought Forte II's and still use those too.
  2. Amazing now anyone can have a bowling alley just like the white house used to. My in-laws building in Honolulu is right next door to what used to be a neighborhood bowling alley. It was a classic 50's 60's style with Hawaiian diorama/mural scenes all around the walls. Too bad it went the way of the drive-in theater a few years back.
  3. Call Klipsch and they might be able to tell you the best matching product and/or technique to use.
  4. The change to zinc pennies was during 1982. Some 82's are copper, some are the newer zinc style. Give the 82's a ping test for the quickest way without a scale. Zinc has a dull sound while copper will have more of a ring.
  5. Well, some of us have gone 1300 miles for speakers...
  6. You will get a better price if your clippings are from an "organic lawn."
  7. Yeah once every 100 years isn't too much to ask. Although some teams have never won at all...
  8. The short answer is yes. Directors and cinematographers decide upon a "look" for the film and purposely use filters and such to achieve their "artistic" vision. Ever go to an Omnimax show? Those films are made to impress with size and realism and will look much sharper than a typical theatrical release. The best looking movies are those that match the "look" with the story to present a cohesive effect. One thing I have noticed is that animation shows the biggest difference when viewing on an upgraded (over standard television) display. To my eyes, cartoons look fantastic, with sports after that.
  9. Not sure Indy...I think the song is mostly about truth than anything else, but you're right the imagery is striking.
  10. Thunder only happens when it's raining Players only love you when they're playing...
  11. The sticks aren't so bad. Oddly enough, one other guy who I would actually seriously consider to do this if and when is in South Thomaston. not too far from you.
  12. I thought it was pretty good. Don't here it anymore lately though. Well you got my curiosity going so I checked it out. I like the instrumentals but still, I'm not sure I'm glad I heard it. It wasn't as bad as it could have been though.
  13. or the Spinal Tap version: Stop wasting my time You know what I want You know what I need Or maybe you don't Do I have to come right Flat out and tell you everything? Gimme some money Gimme sone money I'm nobody's fool I'm nobody's clown I'm treating you cool I'm putting you down But baby I don't intend to leave empty handed Gimme some money Gimme some money Don't get me wrong Try getting me right Your face is ok but your purse is too tight I'm looking for pound notes Loose change Bad checks, anything Gimme some money Gimme some money
  14. Here's the Yes version: In her white lace, you could clearly see the lady sadly looking. Saying that shed take the blame For the crucifixion of her own domain. I get up, I get down, I get up, I get down. Two million people barely satisfy. Two hundred women watch one woman cry, too late. The eyes of honesty can achieve. How many millions do we deceive each day? I get up, I get down. I get up, I get down. In charge of who is there in charge of me. Do I look on blindly and say I see the way? The truth is written all along the page. How old will I be before I come of age for you? I get up, I get down. I get up, I get down. I get up, I get down.
  15. Yeah but I thought everyone knew that...
  16. Hey lets have another set vs. push-pull thread, its' been kinda slow.
  17. Again, simply stunning. Do you also make furniture? I have this idea for a custom flat screen stand that fits over a forte II center and has audio racking on the sides....my wife will kill me for even asking, but i've lived a good life..
  18. I consider myself a treehugger, but not like one of those....where I live we need all the shade we can get. I started with a blank lot and for the past 17 years have been growing my own...trees...and it's really starting to pay off in shade. Long live trees! What I hate to see is developers bulldozing native oaks to put in a subdivision, if that makes me a treehugger then so be it.
  19. You could get new RF-7's for 999, but maybe that would be seen as overcompensating in the bedroom....
  20. He needs your 911. Hey, but I need it more (not). Want maybe...don't need. BTW, he has both, so which one do you want to buy from him when he decides? Steer your answer accordingly, hehe...
  21. Check out the 10 worst list: Stairway to Heaven by Dolly Parton? I'm glad I haven't heard that one.
  22. It's a tough call for sure. On the face of it I would lean to the heresy set up due to matching all around, but your ears and tweaks will have to figure it out.
  23. What type sounds better under any flooring circumstances, front firing or down firing?
  24. Plastic, reused as kitchen garbage bags. Sometimes paper, for putting shredded paper in for the recycling bin.
