| 60's/70's Talking/Singing Story Ballads BTW 4yanx, I don't suppose The Last Poets and Gil Scott-Heron were what you had in mind either... | |
| High end vs internet Flex, as a salesperson, I can tell you that this is a fundamental element of the job, and if you get tired of it, you need to leave the business, or else you will starve. I'm actually not a 'people-type' either, but that has no bearing on how I in... | |
| Retail Buying - Reality Check If only it *were* two cents, foreverhifi2000... (or should we call you foreverhifi$200,000 ? ;^) | |
| Review: Acoustic Zen Hologram II Speaker cable Peter, of course I've never heard your DIY cables, but based on my experience with the Satori mono's replacing Cardas Cross with my Thiels, your description matches very closely with my own impressions on all points - you've really nailed it. I am... | |
| Review: Krell FPB-200 Amplifier Agree that the speakers may be a little tougher to upgrade than the amp was, but that's based on second-hand info, not personal experience. Anyway Nate, I'm glad the amp upgrade worked out as well as you had hoped when we last visited the topic in... | |
| 60's/70's Talking/Singing Story Ballads Rockvirgo: "Leader of the Pack" - The Shangri-Las (they had others like this too, but I don't know that I'd put any of the girl-group melodramas in the thread-head's outlined catagory, much as I love 'em). | |
| High end vs internet I'm sidestepping the question, but just want to say that I have *never* had an all-around completely satisfactory experience in any shop. Some have been tolerable-to-okay, but none excellent. To one degree or another, all assistance I have ever re... | |
| Retail Buying - Reality Check You make it sound as if you didn't broach the subject of price with the stores you solicited bids from. Yes, better salespeople than you apparently worked with wouldn't have let you fly away so easily without a fight - a weak salesperson with star... | |
| Analysis Plus Spker Cable Excellent Cable or Hype? Don't know anything about the cables, but I always wonder what folks mean when they describe stuff as either "musical" or "not musical" (not addressing this specifically to you, Sunnyjim, as I realize you may simply be quoting others). Reviewer Ar... | |
| The Color Of Vinyl Interesting to see what develops...I have seen a few records over the years that were pressed on a vinyl that appeared just like regular opaque black records when viewed normally, but were revealed as actually being translucent dark purple when he... | |
| Help please pre-tuner as a stand-alone tuner ??? Glad to know that I can prognosticate something correctly every once in a while! :-) Sorry you'll have to keep getting exercise adjusting the volume with your VCR. :-( | |
| Giving up on Power Race, and going SET? Yeah Patrick, I was wondering about that number, whether you'd bored it or what, but I guess either you typed a 9 instead of a 0 or my eyes are going - don't know, 'cause the email's been deleted now! :-)Twl, I'm actually starting to become glad I... | |
| The Most Important Component Congrats Mes, I for one will be very interested in your progress and results reports. You are undoubtedly one of the enlightened and fortunate few.BTW, I like the fact that a guy in Rives' business spells 'herd' as 'heard'. However, the 'preditors... | |
| Giving up on Power Race, and going SET? Chevy II, '66 or '67 I'm guessing, 496 I'm told, plain white and very stealthy-looking, and if that's your garage interior in the photo, one hell of a neat'n'clean well-outfitted shop...Still no De Lima, I may have to proceed on some assumptions w... | |
| $4500 amp beat out the Tenor OTL in the latest TAS I meant what I said and I said what I meant. If your point is that the mags played a part in my affliction, the answer is absolutely, although in my defense I can say that I was aware of the high end - knew a few people who were into it, spent tim... |
