Glad to learn these are myths. I've always wondered if my year in Peru was wasted just because I could never determine if the water swirled in the wrong direction in my basin. I still can't tell you which way it flows when I flush.

Has anyone seen or heard this unit??
I've found the specs on a few sites but thats about it.

How does it compare to Denon 4306, Rotel 1067 and/or Rotel 1068/1075 combo, AVR300, Outlaw etc at the +- a few 2k pricepoint.

The 5x125w, 4xcomponent in, 2xHDMI seem attractive...
but apart from features how does is compare in sound for stereo and HT.

Any info is greatly appreciated.

Wolfgang's Vault.

A buddy turned me on to wolfgangsvault.com , a website that streams concert recordings that Bill Graham made from concerts at his venues over the years.

Holy cow.

Thousands of shows, on unplayed tapes, recorded from the board, just sitting and waiting for us all those years.

I hope they end up with better than 128K versions to add to my own vault!

Sitting here listening to Hendrix do Voodoo Child from the Berkeley Community Theatre show on May 30, 1970.

What a treasure trove.

It must have been at Herald Square, where I was transferring onto the <a href="http://www.mta.nyc.ny.us/nyct/service/bline.htm">B</a&gt;, that I realized JA had left a message on my cell. I couldn't listen to the message below the ground &#151; no service down there &#151; but the display let me know that the call arrived at 7:58am. Why in the world would John be calling me at 7:58 in the morning? It was now almost 8:30. Shit:

Measurment question...

Aloha,

You know how it is, February 14th, Cupid's Day, a time when spring is in the air and a man's thoughts take flights of fancy as he ponders...hi fi.

So, anyway, I gots a question:

I see the speaker measurements JA does for reviews and it makes me wonder if we could actually end up plotting/inventing a room's frequency response, as well.

Let's say we take all his open air measurements and then compare each speaker's curve to his in-room measurements, and then subtract the differences.
