A Conga and a Six-Pack

A Conga and a Six-Pack

Nov 13, 2007

I just got off the phone with Henry Fiol. Though his singing voice ranges from ethereal to ferocious, his speaking voice is that of the common man&#151a City accent, a casual flow, the blurring of sounds the dropping of syllables a friendly slang. He sounds like a relative, one of my father's cousins. He sounds like family.

I looked through the four pages of CD Player reviews here and only recognized one name: Radio Shack. An interesting review for an Optimus CD-3400 cd player. I was just wondering if there's a modern equivalent to this cheap, but great sounding player??? I want something to hook up my Grado SR-60's to and chill. The idea of dropping 20k on a CD player makes me laugh. The idea of dropping 2k on a CD player makes me laugh. The idea of dropping a couple hundred ($200-$400) is something I could live with.

Here's seven minutes of the most cringe-worthy rock spectacle I've ever seen. The official story for this caca-phony is that the backing tapes were played back at 48kHz sampling rate as opposed to 44.1kHz. (Umm, in pro sound reinforcement, wouldn't it be the other way around?) I think Eddie, who has to be eligible for AARP now, was concentrating so hard on getting those jumps just right, he didn't notice the incredible suckitude of the solo—or, for that matter, the song.

When Luis Sinco snapped Lance Corporal James Blake Miller's picture, he was photographing a hero. But heroes aren't always what they seem&mdash;and they don't always play to type.

Blackie now has listened to my monoblocks and has a plan of attack. I need better caps and rectifiers. Amen to that! And my tubes are running too hot, which means there is a mismatch.

I was relieved to hear that I do not need a new rectum. However, if you all ever get to be my age, you might consider it...

Rectified? Me? O, that it were possible...

Blackie says resistors and electrolytics may need some rehab.

Going the distance 30ft RCA vs ???

Cables
Submitted by scutterflux on

Kind of a noob here, but
I need to go from a computer (stereo 1/8th) to Amplifier (RCA) aproximatly 20ft away from eachother. My stereo amp is kept at the front of the room, and computer at the back.
Question is this;
Is there a better way of getting the signal to my amp than running all that cable(30ft of cable vs Audio Transmitter)? Would either/or sacrafice sound quality when compared to the other? I will primarily be using this method for Home Theate and Audio Files.
