| Made in America Amen. It's pay for play on a national scale. Politicians are for sale and gladly prostitute themselves for the right price. Local competition is a thing of the past. Monopolies kill off competition and jobs.What we, as a nation need, is another Te... | |
| XLR & RCA caps Al,Thanks for the post and the link. At those prices, it won't break the bank.All the best,Nonoise | |
| Made in America Don't get me started on cable companies. My bill was going to go from around $130/month to over $200 for the very same service. I had to call customer retention and argue for many a minute until I got a supervisor who very quickly and politely gav... | |
| XLR & RCA caps After reading the responses, I'm going to look into these caps. Elizabeths comments on how the video images improved goes great lengths to show that though our ears may play tricks on us, our "lying eyes" can discern things more easily and is repe... | |
| Speaker Cable Recommendation What Stevecham says: Mapleshade Double Helix.This question sure gets asked a lot.All the best,Nonoise | |
| the viability of hi end companies Taters,It's been that long? It didn't seem so when I last went to see him but I've always been bad at judging time. As for Shelly's, I'm sorry to hear they now concentrate on HT. I haven't been there in many a year but know they're still there. I ... | |
| Made in America Rja, Yes, up until the Civil War, all government revenues were paid for by taxes and tariffs on imports and about half until the 1st World War. Steve,I've heard of Ellen Brown from the Thom Hartmann show where she sometimes offers her latest views... | |
| Made in America All it takes is the will to do it. There's no magic to it. Ideology can be a dangerous thing when not thought through. The answer can be staring you right in the face (and it is: we've been here before, many times) but a belief system based on "gu... | |
| Made in America Tonyeinsc, well said.I have a brother in law who used to work at Imagineering for Disney back in the day. He's headed projects in Japan, Florida, and almost went to France. One day the department heads at Disney held a meeting and told them if the... | |
| the viability of hi end companies Great points Jaxwired,Your findings parallel mine and, I assume, most of us here. The only successful model I've seen that sells high end, besides internet sellers, is Acoustic Image, in Studio City (just north of LA). Elliot Midwood sells directl... | |
| Monitors that play huge Don't overlook the Atohm line of speakers, especially the GT-1.0http://www.audiowaveshifi.com/atohm.htmI heard these at the Newport Audio Show and they simply floored me with their bass and room filling sound, not to mention their overall presenta... | |
| Why we should support music... I'm with you Newbee. Home audio can be a strange concept to the uninitiated. Even after they've heard my system, and liked it, music is not that big a component in their lives. I feel bad for them.All the best,Nonoise | |
| Made in America Bifwynne,I hear you. Before 2000 our unemployment rate was around 5% and we had a surplus. By the end of 2008 we closed and moved overseas 60,000 plants and laid off over 5 million workers. All one hears is of the unnecessary and onerous burdens p... | |
| Do you ever just listen to music Jaxwired,No problem. I was just splitting hairs semantically but agree with what you say.I should wait and think before posting. :-)All the best,Nonoise | |
| Do you ever just listen to music Jazwired, Granted, it took all of us some time to settle on our 'final' system but the OP simply asked if we were in the same boat as him: enjoying our systems.The allusion you refer too didn't seem that implicit (at all) to me but I get what YOU ... |
