When will your system be enough?
Your system is "enough" when you can forget thinking about the equipment and just focus on being emotionally involved with the music. When you reach this point - you're done.On this basis I have been quite happy with my audio system for the last t...

What companies, out of Business, did you LOVE???
SHEROD; VIRIDAN: Funny you should ask about Beveridge Speakers. Harold passed away some years ago. BUT his two sons are trying to bring Beveridge back to the marketplace. In fact I visited with the Beveridge boys over Thanksgiving week end and the... 
Speaker for B.A.T vk-60?
I used to have the vk-60 monos in my system and paired them with the Genesis 300 speakers. This was an excelllent combo. You will not get "deep bass" out of the vk-60's. But when combined with the dedicated bass amp of the Genesis speakers, you wl...

Cpdunn -My recollection is that you can only buy Dunn on release via mail order direct from the winery only. At least it used to be that way. Therefore, you have to get on their mail order distribution list. I'm leaving for Oakland tommorow on bus...

Silly me - Here I am sipping my 1985 Silver Oak Cabernet; fondly remembering the Reagan years with Celine Dion singing in the background. I will now go back and open up a Bernkestler Doctor, thank LBJ for Viet Nam, get yelled at by my wife for pol...

I use the Sylvania VT-231's in my BAT 150 SE's. I absolutely love them and they were a significant improvement over the stock Sovteks. I even collected a back up set.Part of the reason I chose the Sylvania was based on the fact that they seem to b...

"Billy Boy" - care to venture a guess as to what my first name is? I hate that song.

With respect to whether it is worthwile to attend CES, one point I don't believe has yet been mentioned is the fact that the porno film convention tends to have it's conventon in Vegas during the same time period as CES, at least they did last yea... 
CES in Las Vegas worth the trip?

Not too early to consider CES
Oops! I didn't realize that CES has gone back to a late week/ week end format as opposed to the early week/ done by Friday format they followed last year. Anyway - that makes a Thursday night dinner, which is the first day of the show, tough becau... 
Not too early to consider CES
I suggest we consider reserving a dining room at Buca di Beppo located at 412 East Flamingo Road. Buca is just east of the strip. I would recommend a dinner gathering on Thursday night the week of the show. Say between 7PM-9PM. Buca is close to th...
