As a transport? Not sure you can beat it at that price. Do y'all have CD-ROM's where you are? NEC. No-risk proposition, if it doesn't work out for you, you can sell it. Otherwise I'd say just get a Sony changer or something, but until you figure out what's wrong with the Technics, I wouldn't bother.

Too much all at once, it's like O.D.ing on estrogen.

You do realize you just increased your chances of growing breasts.

I actually prefer Bachelor No. 2...but not by a wide margin, I really need to pick up two of the versions of Lost in Space, the one with the bonus tracks, and the SACD. Which version do you have? I'm also really excited about the new Spiritualized. These last couple albums have been great, despite being a complete change in direction from the earlier albums, which I dig for entirely different reasons.

Maybe he has a softer, more malleable head than you do.

Do a search on 'Bellari'. And yes, that is correct in how it works.

Two possible explanations are that the album's release date got bumped up, or that someone at that Best Buy screwed up. But it would be a screw-up, not a 'they're not as strict...', because they get fined (by the record companies, not the cops) if they release something too early.

You're not retarded. Afterglow is just different. It's all post-Lilith Fair, so the coffeehouse sound is a little more prominent. Usually artists go the other way (case in point: Jewel) -- they start with the simple stuff, then work their way up to the more produced material. Sara just went in the other direction. I have a feeling that album captured 'where she was going' with her live stuff.

Dude, report it. That's a 99% chance indication of a scam auction.

Meridian DSP8000?

The 310 is pretty good, too. I'm quite happy with mine.

I'm too old for that shit anymore. I can stay up 'til 5am as many days in a row...as long as I sleep 'til 1pm the next day...this burning the candle at both ends shit ended years ago.

That's actually very well said, and much more diplomatically than I would have.

Agreed, Walmart is evil.

Omar Rodriguez-Lopez, The Apocalypse Inside of an Orange -- psychedelic fusion, done well Interpol, Antics -- new order/joy division/chameleons type stuff Filter, Anthems for the Damned -- industrial/metal crossover

I can zoom in, but the pictures, they mean nothing to me.

I remembered them and got the joke and laughed immediately, no worries, fellow geezer.

You want a list?

I have no plans whatsoever in getting a pair of O2's. 4070's, on the other hand...

Yup, pretty much what aerius said. My Spendors were the same way -- they sounded great at lower volumes, but they were easily pushed past a threshold where they initially started compressing, and pushed further they distorted. I do not find driver-based distortion pleasant in any way other than for the purposes of guitar tone. Give me a good optical compressor any day. Yeah, maybe 'fail' is too strong a word, they don't break. They just 'fail' to deliver music musically.

QF...Oh, I don't know, just because it's a great expression.

eBay J/K...not watching it actively, just a couple items that I've been watching lately have been relisted, so I've been getting emails that say, "an item you've been watching..." and made me think of this thread.

Actually, it was "In the Beginning" from On the Threshold of a Dream.
