Since there are, at this time, 888 threads in the general rants and raves area, I thought that this lucky number required a bit of internet self reflection. Which can be part and parcel of this hopefully humorous problem.

Now for the word, which will henceforth become part of the lexicon of the internet forums, as humor does get around the world quite fast.

We will have to define it properly, so it stands a chance. I will start with some obvious variations.

Searching the net for some obscure recordings, I stumbled across this appropriately named Canadian site: http://www.mikrokosmos.com/index.html.

It's a site that sells used LPs and 78s, with some of the titles looking quite tempting. The full catalog is a 66 page, single-spaced Word document with nearly 4000 titles for March.

I'm not a vinyl guy, but this may help nudge me toward getting a cheap turntable.

Hello all!
A am new to this forum, and new in a world of Hi-Fi! My name is Niko, and I am from Slovenia. First of all, sorry for my bad english. I will try my best to write it right.

OK, I'm a NOOB, sorry...I have a Denon AVR-2808CI (110 Watts per ch) and am awaiting the arrival of my Monitor Audio Silver 5.1 system. All the MA speakers are rated at 6 Ohms; the fronts are RS6's (Sensitivity (1W@1M): 91 dB; Nominal Impedance: 6 Ohms; Power Handling (RMS): 120 W; Recm'd Amp (RMS): 40 - 120 W). The outputs on the back of the Denon are listed as 6 Ohms, except when using A + B (bi-amping) for the fronts, which says 8 Ohms. I asked Denon about this and the reply was that bi-amping 6 Ohm speakers may cause the unit to shut-down and/or damage it.
