Sounds broken -- take it in to get it fixed.

And then you'll actually, like, tell us stuff?

That's even better.

The truth about my amps.....?
No, but three rights make a left. Maybe that's what you're thinking of?

Speakers, high voltages, watts, etc
Electrostatic panels are much harder to make than drivers. Most importantly, they are very easy to get wrong. You basically need to have a consistent distance between the two stators, and the larger you make the panel, the harder that is. And you need large panels to get any bass at all. You should read the recent interview with the Martin Logan guy for a very honest appraisal -- from, amongst other perspectives, a business point-of-view -- of the process. spritzer -- you heard Final? I only ask because you didn't mention them. I've heard really good things about Final, except that, like the Quads, they beam. Of course, I've heard similarly good things said about Innersound. I'm actually a big fan of Martin Logan, and am seriously considering getting a pair. We'll see, it's not going to happen any time soon.

He's contributing to the entropy. Again.

Yeah, except they're called the ESL-988, ESL-989 and the ESL-2805, ESL-2905.

Kentucky Fried Movie: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kf2p964uHDs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EnBlknT2DA0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E0f-k2VVJ6Q and the very NSFW, Catholic High School Girls in Trouble That's what I meant when I euphemistically said, 'uterus'. And considering she's going all the way in, and probably going to come out kicking and screaming, not entirely inappropriate, neither.

Whoa! When did that happen? I don't know how long the owners of this forum are going to be happy that they're providing free advertising for that forum...

So are you finally going to answer the Sade question?

DSOTM Quad Channel DVD-Audio
There are torrents of it around. I think if you look for "dsotm dvda", you might be able to find it. What it is, is an ISO image of the DVD -- just burn it straight as an ISO image, and you should have it.

Stax vs. Senn Round 1
What? Where do you get this? I don't hear this at all, from my admitted limited experience in hi-fi shops. (And if I don't hear this listening to only a dozen or so amps, I have to wonder how much more I'd disagree with you if I actually heard a statistically valid large sample of amps.)

Stax vs. Senn Round 1
You don't get to dictate what I call you, dude. You have a problem with being called an audiophile, due to connotation, not denotation (on top of which, your connotations don't match mine nor the rest of the world's); I'm not letting you make it my problem. Audiophile! Audiophile! Audiophile! Ha-ha! No, seriously, I picture audiophiles as . Someone with silver everywhere, SET's, and huge line sources would fit right in to my (and most peoples') definition(s).

Stax vs. Senn Round 1
Whee! A DBT argument and an "audiophile" argument all in one thread! Define audiophile. My definition: someone who can hear the difference (between good reproduced sound and great reproduced sound). Notice: this has nothing to do with how much one spends, allows for whether or not one believes in burn-in, feng shui, olifactory therapy etc., and also allows for different levels of audiophiles. So for example, one might be able to hear the difference between a Bose clock radio and a Tivoli clock radio, or one might be able to tell the difference between directions on an interconnect. Oh, and testees should never be seen -- maybe we should hang a curtain over them as well.

Source upgrade?
I only have my NOS ones. How does one get a fresh pair? Are they Russian? I hear those are supposed to be pretty good, but I've also heard Chinese are better. (Or maybe that was Japanese...?)

Thinking about getting an L3000...
Dude. You can't hold your crap.

a couple more shirts and a pair of pants I flirted with the girl so hard, she forgot to ring up two of the shirts. Either that or they were having a BOGOF sale.
