  1. Having seen neither demonstrated, I won't vote. I will say that I have been disappointed in Sony products due to quality and user-friendly (not) issues in recent years.
  2. Mike, you know you could never abandon your Hasselblads! Heresy!
  3. What's so funny about it? There's no story any anything behind it. It's just old and some of the varnish has worn off over the years. [:|] I guess it is the orange blossom print on what looks to be a granny type rocker. Maybe in Florida it's too common for the humor to be appreciated.
  4. What an animal! No one could dislike a rig like that. Colter, now I have to pull out my Matching tie and Handkerchief album and play the third side.....
  5. Chops, that chair is a riot! There has to be some kind of story behind it.
  6. Sorry to rain on the parade, but I am of the Soprano's school where Tony's guy from Italy tells the doctor on the course: golf is a stupid-a-f---ing game. Lol.
  7. if it was that old before being bottled it is a big deal. If the bottle is only old after being bought a long time ago then it means little. usually old whiskey which is aged at the distillery then bottled will tell you so on the label and will fetch a price accordingly.
  8. That's high to me. Quartets should go for around 400 and kg4's for a hundred or more less.
  9. Usually whatever I have at the time, but my favorites tend towards: Shiner, any variety (beer) Courvoissier single malt scotch red wine from cheap Italian to fabulous Burgundies vodka, usually Grey Goose or Absolut in an extremely dry martini Irish whiskey Well, those are the favorites anyway, I like champagne too but usually don't drink it while listening to music......
  10. Sympathetic and para-sympathetic vibrations? Is it worse at some speeds compared to others?
  11. Shiner Bock.
  12. Maine should start declining penalties....Two short-handed goals against in a row!
  13. Let it go. All attitude, no audio.
  14. Something like this was posted about a month ago in a spelling thread. Way more than 55 people can read it. Good one JT.
  15. You can't see the key or the time signature, and the notes are blurry.
  16. Is Zeppelin too obvious? Or not considered heavy metal? I'll throw in Whole Lotta Love.
  17. Hey, another Dentonite on the forum! (Denton Texas, it's more than just where Brad and Janet got married!)
  18. I tend to agree with this statement for my purposes also. Car audio has a high noise floor to overcome, leading to some weird compromises. I guess I could see wanting something really nice if I had a super quiet luxury car. The problem with that (and headphones) is that it is inherently more dangerous not to be able to hear at least some outside noise IMO.
  19. Either one is good. If you have to make a long run or sharp bends, then go with coax. Sometimes the choice is dictated by the particular set up you want and how the receiver is set up to handle it. On my bro-in-laws receiver, you have to go with coax to get the dvd video out to function with the dvd sound.
  20. If you can run the B set independently of the A set then you have parallel. If the A set must be on for the B set to work, then the out put is in series. I once bought a receiver that was in series and it made me so mad I took it back. Others will know better than I about the specs issue.
  21. Yes, civil, Clarence. Next work on patience.(insert grinning emoticon for those who might miss a good natured dig)
  22. Re: coytee and the chocolate chip product: I am firmly in the camp of Jimmy Kimmel when it comes to Oprah. She should be opposed at every possible moment. Everyone here should pray to their preferred deity that she never gets on TV and talks about what a great sound and a great deal for the money used Klipsch Heritage are. When she announced her retirement years ago, I thought the world was safe once more, but alas, the devil's work is never finished. Regarding luxury products in general, Jaguar comes to mind. Back in the day everyone knew you were rich in a Jag because you owned two--one to drive while the other was in the shop.
  23. Definitely Stanley Clarke. Definitely Chris Squire. I also like the percussive thump from the B-52's....like in Planet Claire.
  24. Good point jopez. Right now I have jazz on, later it will be NHL hockey on my one and only all purpose system. By the way, how's 'ole Mothra doing down there? (Do the twins still give her wake up calls?)
  25. Nevermind, I think I have it figured out. The star bar at the top of the thread can be manipulated by clicking on the one through five stars. So some of these ratings could just be accidental clicks.....
