| Cry me a river Speaking of live. I was at my dad's funeral last week and a guy played Amazing Grace on a cello. The bad news was I had to give the eulogy right after that. It was a tough act to follow. So I`m not looking forward to hearing that song again in the... | |
| tube amp shoot-out Have you considered keeping the Levinsons and getting a tube pre amp instead? Seems like a good compromise to me. | |
| Memories........What made you catch the Audio Bug? My wife went the other direction. Her dad liked smooth jazz which he played in the car on excruciatingly long and boring road trips. She used to get carsick a lot so now she associates jazz or audiophile music with nausea. I can`t play that music ... | |

| Is this rude? As a former "straight-commissioned" electronics saleman, I remember wasting a lot of time and potential money on people who were just there to waste time. It is very frustrating to work for nothing. | |
| Any BOND fans out there? One of their videos was on a demo disk we used in an electronics store. Also I just saw them on Regis and Kelli this morning. Very good looking girls. | |
| TV's... what does the typical audiophile have? I have upgraded to a Hitachi 51" HDTV. It is on most of the time. I`m the only one that cares about picture or sound. MY wife would rather lay in bed and watch history channel on our 20" Panasonic. I mentioned putting speakers in there and she nix... | |

| Where to find Shawn Phillips "Spaced" on CD It`s great to find someone else who likes Mr Phillips. My wife(age 34) even says that his albums grow on you. Way ahead of his time. | |
| Denon 2803 vs 3803 I got the 3803 because it has component video upconversion. That means I only need one set of video cables to go to my big screen hdtv. It also means we never have to switch video inputs on the tv. Prices on the 3803 have been coming down because ... | |
| What is a glass optical cable? I`m not sure what is the exact description is but look up Glass on the audiogon search. but captstripe ?? makes a good one. I bought one from him and it got here really fast and I am very pleased with it. It cost about $40 including shipping etc. ... | |
| Ideal distance from TV to sitting/viewin position I am more sensitive to having to move my eyes and head to view the whole scene at one time. I tend to get a headache when I am too close. I have a 51" diagonal wide screen and sit about 12 feet away which seems all right now. But like I said, I am... | |

| What happened to PIP? I think because with direct satellite and digital cable you nees either 2 receivers or an antenna feed to use it the tv manufacturers have made it more of a luxury item. | |
| spdif vs toslink I would consider going for a glass toslink. I got one from the internet--search audiogon for "glass" low cost--$40. high quality sound. am using it for my home theater setup. Big improvement over the previous junk but that was just a long composit... |
