    I did read Barry Lopez's "Of Wolves and Men" years ago, but until the other day, I thought what Mowat wrote about wolves was fiction. Now I'm interested...

    There were two references on FB today about the movie "Never Cry Wolf." I got involved with watching trailers of it and decided to watch it later. THEN I found the soundtrack on Ewetoob - here it is: I heartily recommend the movie as well. If your heart doesn't swell within you at the end...

    Always a day late

    You could buy a REAL turntable for that kind of money. I would not take it home if it were free...it's like trepanation - I need it like I need a hole in the head.

    I let speaker cable run along the floor...bare wood or carpet, so I must be among the unwashed. In my shop system, the speaker cables are hung from the ceiling, so it would be the analog of risers. Now that I think about it, that system does sound very good.

    Yes, very polite...for AK. "I say old boy, did you know that sixteen-gauge speaker cable is adequate for most applications?" "I did not! Do you mean to tell me that the $900 I just recently spent on speaker cable was all for nothing? Goodness, gracious!" "My man, I do hope you're not too put...

    Klipsch - share your thoughts

    In fact, at a local audio meet, I was astonished to hear a KG4 with full Crites mods - it was one of the best speakers I ever heard. On the other hand, while in Carlsbad, NM, I picked up a rough pair of Hereseys for a hundred bucks. They sounded OK, but when it came time to move back up here...

    An Addition to the Adage "Wear Pants When Soldering"

    I was working on the front brake of my step-daughter's mountain bike this evening. As I usually do, I plugged in the 35-watt iron to put a bit of solder on the end of the cable, so that it would not fray. I laid down a sheet of cardboard so hot solder would not damage the shop rug (it's a...

    It's not in grapplesaw's listing, but I bought a used T4P V15 a few years ago, but it lost a channel soon after.

    Onkyo Preamp P-304

    Welcome to the Phoenix Audio Forum! There are lots of good preamps out there, but in my experience, features and performance are in an inverse relationship, all else being equal...which it rarely is.

    This is the BEST video about LOUDSPEAKER CABLES that you will see all year

    That's what I use too, in the main system...in biwire.

    I Killed My Cyrus Today

    Maybe I just did not notice how good the Cyrus pre sounded with the first set of output cables, but with the second set of the same brand & model of cable, the sound is quick and dynamic. I have been listening over the past two days to all of the Fresh Aire CD's, one through eight, and I know...

    33 engines

    Wow - I remember the failed USSR moon rocket having about that many engines. They lacked the computer technology to coordinate that many engines, so they never went to the moon...or so I read, years ago.

    what are you listening to?

    In the past I listened to Switched-On Bach, where JSB met the Keystone Kops. Now, here I am listening to the Canon in D...slowed down 400%. Liking it too.
