    How much $ do you have tied up in gear- and did you expect to spend that much?

    As best as I can tell I have spent over $29K for my home theater in my family room. It took me over two years to acquire everything. The only things I kept from my old system was the turntable and cartridge. I had always dreamed of having a killer stero and thanks to the .com boom I was able...

    Looking for a center channel stand.

    I had the same concerns you have for my Energy Veritas 2.0C speaker on top of my Mitsu WS-55907. In my case I wanted an inexpensive stand that was black so it wouldn't stand out. What I found was the APA Storage Box at Ikea. This box was the size I needed, was wood, could be painted and the...

    repairing old-school altec-lansing speakers

    They are the home version of the Voice of the Theater speaker. The VOTT is a legendary speaker that was used in many theaters or auditoriums. The woofers can be repaired. I would suggest that he contact a pro sound company.

    King Crimson DVD: Eyes Wide Open

    I just read over on Tony Levin's web site that he is indeed going back in to "active duty" as he calls it with King Crimson. Yeah!

    Insane songs to play on your SVS

    Return to Forever Medieval Overture. At one point towards the end of the song there is a synthesizer part that sweeps down towards subsonic. You feel it more than you hear it. :)

    Progressive era Genesis: What do I want?

    I first became a fan when I heard Watcher of the Skies on the radio on WNEW-FM in NYC in the early 70's. The other song from that era that got me was In the Court of the Crimsom King. Anybody every hear an Itlaian band called Premiata Forneria Marconi (PFM)? WNEW also used to play them along...

    Electronic Music Introductions..discuss

    I'm suprised no one has mentioned Synergy. My intro to electronic music was via WNEW-FM in NYC in the 70's. They use to play both Synergy and Walter Carlos. You can find out more about Larry Fast and Synergy at Larry's web site http://synergy-emusic.com/ .

    Opinions on Sony 9000ES SACD/DVD?

    Keith, you are correct, the 9000ES is a more capable DVD player than CD player in absolute terms. The current version of the Jupiter (Jupiter 2000) is an all in one player. The previous version was a transport only with a seperate chassis for the electronics. I think the electronics was called...

    Opinions on Sony 9000ES SACD/DVD?

    I have had the 9000ES for over a year. For progressive DVD's I haven't seen anything yet that tops the picture quality. As a SACD player it's great. I was originally only interested in it for DVD's but after listening to the sampler disc I was hooked. But when listening to standard Redbook CD's...
