  1. Brady has stated he thinks he can play into his mid 40's. He may well play into his 50's if he keeps getting roughing the passer calls like last night.

    Defenses will be afraid to do anything more violent than blowing him a kiss.

  3. "If I were your wife I'd put poison in your tea."

    "If I were your husband I'd drink it."

    Attributed to many, but in this case let's just say Lady Astor and Winston Churchill.

  5. I understand your frustration but that is pretty standard operating procedure. Amazon for example charges return shipping. Although I do know of one manufacturer who offers free returns, of course their cheapest product is $500 so they probably have a little more margin to work with. 

    At the other end of the scale there is a manufacturer who charges return shipping, 20% restocking fee, and if you got free shipping when you purchased it they nick you for the original shipping cost.

    What surprised me is that he lasted as long as he did.  150 girls before any spoke up.  Wow!

    I saw an interview with one of the victims who said something to her coach in private. The coach then brought in the rest of the team and humiliated her in front of them, thereby sending a message to her and the rest of the team. It was a female coach BTW, the poor girl probably thought she would get a sympathetic ear from a female authority figure.

    I’m in Winston Salem, NC

    as far as I know, this isn’t HiFi heaven.

    that would be great to meet others, I know no one who cares about stereo.

     

    I caught the bug in Glenn Poor’s audio/video in Normal Illinois, 1985

    Wow! We had to have rubbed shoulders there at one time or another. Or maybe at Appletree Stereo just diagonally across the street.

    Are you from the area or were you a student?

  9. Here is a link to the review on youtube. It is interesting to listen from 1:05 to 1:36. He states he has a problem with talking about the Forte iii as an audiophile speakers. Then backs that up by listing three speakers that each have a quality that is superior to the the Forte iii, and then immediately says that the Forte iii sounds more real than any of the three. Did He just let the mask slip? I thought real was what audiophiles were after. 

    Besides (and this might be picking a small point) how does the B&W being smoother or the Maggie being more open disqualify the Forte iii from being an audiophile speaker? 

    All speakers have differing strengths and it is relevant to match the strengths to ones own tastes. Maybe the Maggie shouldn't be considered an audiophile speaker because it isn't as smooth as the B&W, doesn't image as well as the Elac, & isn't as dynamic as the Klipsch. 

    I think for a lot of reviewers the review is half written as soon as they see the nameplate.

    I'm not sure what jitter is and I'm sure I don't know what lossy is, but I do know that zeros and ones leave teeny tiny gaps in the sound that are not natural to real music. It's fine for car radio and all, but when I listen to cd's on my Khorn system, even through a high end cd playe,r my tummy gets upset.  And since that's the largest organ on my body, I pay particular attention when it speaks to me.

     

    What's a DAC? It's a  Digital to Analogue Converter.  In other words, it's taking something unnatural and changing it into something your ears can understand.

     

    So I call double-Bullshit.

     

    Vinyl rules and RTR ain't far behind.

    Then the analogue signal hits the oldest A2D converter in the world.
