To me at least, Wilsons become more unlistenable the further up you go in their lineup. The Sophia's pretty decent (but not for what it costs) and it's all downhill from there. But others like them and are more than willing to pay the big bucks for them, so whatever.

What do you think "hug and dance" audio is?

If they don't have the Avatar OBX-R2, see if they have the standard Avatar. Same family sound and still definitely worth a listen. Go figure, I can't figure that one out either. Of course the problem is once you move past 2-ways, running wires from the x-over box to the speakers starts to become a major pain in the ass and the cable costs can start running up real fast.

It's made in France, by silly French people, not that there's anything wrong with French people, and chicks with French accents are hot.

Go vinyl. Pro-ject RM10 turntable, a nice cartridge and phonostage will fit in your budget.

I need to go find a speaker dealer with some big-ass bass horns so I can crank the fireworks recording to real life levels & get the full dynamics without clipping or compression.

Set the timer, then dance around until it takes a picture.

Isn't cannibalism illegal though?

Yup, it's all in his head.

The solution, clearly, is to buy a set of closed headphones to block out the beep. Or you could just run an extension cord and listen to your rig outside.

This depends on several things The output of your cartridge The gain on your phonostage The gain of your amp If you have enough gain in the rest of your system, then a TVC will work just fine, if not, then you'll need an active preamp to make up the gain or an amp with more gain.

Definitely not safe for work, but that's what I wanna be doing. What is the most bling piece of audio gear you'd want to own?

It's a Sony. I've yet to hear a Sony that I like and I don't expect that trend to be broken anytime soon.

Who is your favourite pornstar?

What? Don't look at me...

Valley girl She's a valley girl

This topic lied to me, there are no pictures of this Katie Melua person.

A bunch of concert tickets. Chick Corea at Massey Hall John McLaughlin & The 4th Dimention, also at Massey Hall Cowboy Junkies: Trinity Sessions Revisited, Massey Hall again Buddy Guy, yup, Massey Hall God I love living in Toronto.

It took the stupid worthless wankers long enough. Two years and more "why the fuck aren't they MoT's yet?" posts than I can count, and now they finally get slapped with the tags.

I, for one, approve of the K701 being kicked out the door.

Head-case was down?

Done, but that doesn't help since my scanner went tits up...

2 contracts for gasoline futures on the NYMEX.

Well, I guess this explains the secret to getting mad bass with an Ety...

Of course now that you've said that without knocking on wood, you've jinxed yourself to repeat the mistake, and likely with far more dire consequences.
