    "You've reached the stage of a condition no longer treatable. Hospice for palliative measures is my suggestion..." I agreed, the idea a done deed within minutes. I didn't notice Christine crying until then, "Now, baby, I ain't dead yet, so don't be borrowing extra trouble from tomorrow -...

    Goodbye, Cruel World!

    Just spent a sunny Saturday afternoon with a young funeral salesman. I was raised in a family in which each self-pays final expenses, passing along the rule, no upgrades. Of course it ain't cheap but we got side-by-side sites with boxes and funeral services, embalming, and other options for...

    You're threading elements directly into boom? Aren't some of them supposed to be insulated from boom? Heck, IDK.

    Apogee Centaur

    A store in which I sold audio ordered a pair each of the Centaur Major and Minor in a deal by our distributor who wanted to put the line in our store. So I spent listening time with each, but that quickly became Major only. Long ribbon tweeter not at all etched - actually tended toward...

    Tuner Search, Too... Rotel RHT-10

    I've been using this tuner - Rotel RHT-10 - for a couple weeks now and it is addictive. It gets high marks from TIC with the caveat that it be upgraded and aligned by someone who knows what he is doing - Mike qualifies for sure. Glad he did it. Sound quality is very good and reception via...

    Nakamchi RE-3

    I sold those when new. Three models, the RE-1 was the top, the 3 was the lowest power at 37wpc. Good little receiver. The amp had some balls, as I recall. For a receiver, that is. Pretty good sound quality. Don't recall much about the tuner. So tell us, since you have one and most of us...

    Collector? User? Both?

    In 1998 my then-wife and I were on an afternoon's drive in the country, when I spotted a line of late-model cars for sale at a country store. Also in the line, but without a "For Sale By Owner" sign was a sharp 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air. I pulled in, curious to take a closer look, talked to the...

    Bottom-Feeder 'Phones - The Cheaphone Thread

    "Ramblin' Jack Eliot had a lot to do with it..." In my never ending quest for the most comfortable side-lying bedphone, I initially thought I'd found it in these. No headband makes them perfect for the pillow pictured in Post #1. But they became dislodged too easily. I was able to tighten...
