I have a set of Klipschorns. What else do I need in order to experience and enjoy 2 (or 2.1)channel audio via tubes? I'm willing to spend up around, A) $1,000 B)$2,000. I listen to mostly R&B, Jazz, a little Pop, a little classical and even a little Rap. My Khorns have great bass but I really...

I use Diskeeper, turn on "the set and forget" with the "smart schdeule" option. Done. I also make Norton's Win Doctor run automatically once a day. Keeps my shortcut and registry in order. It's the only Norton software I install or run.
"I would gladly murder the world, just to have you love me" or something like that. Commadus, from "Gladiator". Sends a chill down my spine, even after +20 viewings.
I have a few fruit trees, lemon, grapefruit, orange, plum & peach. The lemon & grapefruit trees are strong producers but I rarely eat the fruit because I spray the yard and the trees for ants as needed. I've always assumed you shouldn't eat fruit that has been sprayed with insecticide, for...
Congratz !!! I bought my dream guitar too about 3 years ago. A Carvin LB76 5 piece through the body 6 string bass guitar made from Koa and White ash, gold hardware, rounded sides, name plate, and all the trimming. It's the most beautiful instrument I've ever seen. My Bass I, and all...
Here's what I don't understand. Why in the heck did Kobe even do that press conference in the first place? Bad move Kobe. Very bad move. He had absolutely nothing to gain and much to lose and he did lose much more than he gained. If I were his lawyer, I would have talked him out of it. I'm sure...
Ok...I am going to read every post in this +30 page thread but I just have to make a few comments and ask one question first. My biggest question, where can I get a transcript of the Neo/Oracle and the Neo/Architect conversations? Right now I would kill for this. Comments: I did something...
Big time Laker fan here. I hope they win it all again and I will be rooting hard for them, but I don't think they will. I felt the same way last year though, so.....
I saw this yesterday too. I don't know why I wanted to see it. The first 20 minutes was tolerable. After 25 minutes I wanted to walk out. That feeling returned every 3 minutes until it was over. I have never felt that sitting and watching a movie was a complete waste of time until this...
Some cities are just not sports town. Take San Diego, my home town. Yeah, we hosted this years Super Bowl but outside of the annual Raider/Charger game, this city rarley gets pumped up for any sports stuff. We can't hold on to a NBA franchise. The Chargers may be leaving and even the great...
My OTA drop outs were frequent and severe enough that I had to change to the regular broadcast. That was the first time I've had that problem. The massive OTA antenna was in perfect postion too. Wierd....very wierd.
Netflix (no late fees, good selection, outstanding convenience) and a near-by Albertson's (up to 8 DVD's for $0.99 each on Mondays, selection not so great) is a tough combo to beat. I haven't stepped in a Block Buster or Hollywood Video in years, nor do I plan to. I think any new Mom & Pop...
I just got a letter from them too telling me Comcast is gonna be my new high speed Internet supplier and that my monthly rate is jumping from $42.95 to more than $56.95. That's a freakin' 33% increase !!! If I subscribe to their cable TV service, I can stay at $42.95. I have never wanted to call...
Title: "Express Yourself" Concept: Reality. 30 minutes. Stand on any busy street corner with a camera and a microphone. Passer bys have 1 or 2 minutes to express themselves on any topic. Low production cost, cross cultural, educational, quality televsion. Not sure if the last too can truly...
I will not be watching. The novelty of these "Reality" shows has completely worn off for me. You can add American Idol 2 and Star Search and all other talent show type shows to my list of "Thanxxx, but no thanxxx" TV shows. I watched the last quarter of the first Survivor series only because...
I remember Ebert & Roeper slamming "Ballistic" when it was first released so I was in no hurry to check it out. Well, I finally got around to watching it on DVD last night. The first thing that came to my mind was,"Well, that wasn't so bad and it was at least as good as "xXx", which I had just...
Hmmmmm...I was a huge NYPD Blues through the first 6,7 or 8 seasons. I lost track. I started losing interest around the time Authur Fancy got promoted. I watched a few episodes when Esai Morales (I think that's his name) replaced him but I slowly lost interested. It took me 7 to 8 years...
I saw Richard Pryor and Bill Cosby decades ago but last month my wife & I saw Damon Wayans at the Improv in Irvine, CA. We had a good time but I wasn't really impressed by him, the Emcee or the warm up guy. The whole trip cost us about $80.00. Not a great value but it was a nice change from...
I think that as soon as fans realize there is no team loyalty no matter what the players or owners say in public, no one will be surprised or disappointed when these things happen. I have many more thoughts on the subject but that pretty much sums it up. OK, just 1 more thing. $2.5 million...
Ask me what I had for lunch or dinner yesterday and I may be able to tell you after some serious thought. Ask me about the day before yesterday and I have no idea. Zip. Nada. I have conditioned myself to only leave my wallet in one of two places. If for some reason I leave it somewhere else...
Yeah, I know people that complain about having to read subtitles. If I mention a foreign language film where reading them is required, they usually just say "No thanks". My wife, for example. She likes love story movies just about as much as anyone, but she would not watch Amelie. I on the other...
