That’s funny, Brad. For someone who has “no dog in this fight” you’re last comment sure did come across as blatant Fox News talking points. You come across as partisan as anyone else. Please explain what you find incorrect about any of my statements.

Sometimes the journey is more important than the destination, especially where hobbies are concerned.

How nice. I don’t have to watch Fox News. I can just read Brad’s posts to get caught up on all the latest fake news. Did you notice how, the closer Mueller gets to the truth, the more the republicans want to go after Obama and Hillary, and, well, Mueller himself? The first two are obvious, but...

Agree with Gordon. I have an all deftech 11.1 channel surround system, separate from my two channel system. The deftechs are great speakers for the money.

Welcome to the site. Not really sure there is much advice to be given. Most regular posters here use (or have used in the past) Martin Logan’s electrostatic panel speakers, which is their high end line. The fresco’s are really more of a home theater speaker, although a very nice one. Where you...

Ah, the mythical “full-term abortion” as Kayla Moore called it. No such thing. But Jones clearly described his position on late term abortions: In other words, he supports current Alabama law with respect to abortions, which is already about as restrictive as the Supreme Court will allow. This...

You joke, but Moore hasn’t conceded the race and is asking for a recount. The State said no problem, as long as he is willing to pay for it (because it is outside of the margin that would automatically trigger a recount).

Fixed that for you, Mark.

One of the Republican operatives in the state said it best. To paraphrase: “we could have picked any random republican out of the phone book and won this race by a large margin, but we got stuck with the one candidate who couldn’t manage to win in deep red Alabama.” Oh, and unfortunately it’s...

Holy $hit!!! We did it. Deep red, solidly conservative Alabama elected a democrat to the U.S. Senate! I honestly never believed it would happen. Don’t give us too much credit though. Over half a million people still voted for the racist, misogynist, Bible-thumping Roy Moore. Doug Jones only...

LOL. Good point. I really need to update my system page... And Gordon, as Dave mentioned. And Justin. And timm is running Maggie’s, though I think he still has his Odysseys too.

Wow! All three mods (and Joey) without ML’s. We’re going to have to change the name of this site — the ex-MLOC. :ROFL:

Looks nice! Curious what your thoughts are on the 13A in comparison to the Summit X. Seems like there is not that much difference between the two models — slightly more panel area, more power to the woofers, and slightly higher crossover point on the 13A’s being the key differences (along with...

I agree with a lot of your sentiments, timm. But I’ll just speak to the attorney/client privilege thing. I have no problem with someone asserting it if it is indeed applicable and I would agree that often it is the correct thing to do, even if you “did nothing wrong and have nothing to hide.”...

This is an obvious dodge on a crucial issue and it may or may not be a valid assertion of privilege. If jr. is actually a client of this attorney, and if the attorney was there specifically to give advice regarding these communications, and not for some other unrelated purpose, then it may be a...

Still waiting on my new DirectStream Memory Player. PS Audio has a new firmware update coming out Friday for the DirectStream DAC, and according to Paul McGowan, the improvements are amazing. I guess I’ll need to hold off updating for a little while so I can audition the new Player with the...

Tom, thanks so much for taking the time to write that out. Awesome tutorial! Ok, you have convinced me. It may be a month before I get around to it, but I am going to do this and rip all my SACDs. I’ll let you know if I run into difficulties.

For those of us not entirely versed on ripping SACDs, what’s the significance of this, Tom?

I’ve got an Oppo 105 and have been wanting to try this since I have a bunch of SACDs. But I’m a little intimidated. How difficult/complicated is it? I’m not much of a computer geek, but I can manage the basics.

Well, I understand that the title of this thread is: “Obsessive hobbies”. But Mark, I’m beginning to think you take the meaning of “obsessive” to a whole new level. Well done.
