    SF Cribs: The places behind the clothes

    Thanks Artisan Fan. Kronik, I love the speakers, though admittedly, I didn't audition any others really. Just read up on them and found a lot of good things said about the line and the company. I'm really an audiophile from a music lover's perspective. I love my music and want to hear it...

    SF Cribs: The places behind the clothes

    I'm considering the Audience line or the Focus line for a primarily home theatre application with some musical use. Most likely, 5.1 with a SVS sub.. not sure yet on the power plant / processing. I want a MC207 but the likelihood of that in the next 5 years is pretty freaking slim so I'll...

    SF Cribs: The places behind the clothes

    Hi thanks, Wow, can't compete with your VPI. Beautiful. That's actually half the LP collection. Total of only about 350 - 400 or so. But to me their gold. I bought my gear -- except speakers -- in the used dept of a high-end audio store in Toronto a while ago. I have: Muse 100 SS amp (100...

    It all BEGIN here.........

    I have some -- or one, can't remember -- catalogue(s) from Beams/Ray Beams. Just BEAU-tiful stuff from all over the world. That was when the yen was 240=$1 CAD=$1.40US, ca. 1992. YIKES. Remember seeing some very cool ties there, but for some reason didn't buy anything. I have next week off...

    Your First Car

    1985 Honda Civic Hatchback - Victoria Red (dark orange metallic) 5spd God I loved that car, haha. So light, simple, agile and beautifully designed. It even had a choke, fer chrissakes. That body style 1984-87, is the nicest Civic they've ever made. I drove that car to the end baby, 234,000...

    Greenpeace @ Porsche

    german is such an ugly language. Actually, it's one of the most closely related languages to English. Not that I think English is a beautiful language either. I'd love to know how to speak German. I love that accent, personally. Here's one version of the Indo-European language tree.

    What do you think of Jackson Pollock?

    Hey, we own that! By "we" I mean the National Gallery in Ottawa. Oh I remember the HUGE kerfuffle when it paid something like $2 million for it about 15 years ago. Don't suppose it's worth a little more now? I like it by the way. One of my fave under-the radar artists is Bridget Riley, who...

    best value sports car under 100k?

    I'm just making one small point DarkNWorns. No need to condescend, but I'll bite (again). Performance wise, we're talking about value for money, and not all-out performance, I'm not sure which cars other than Ferraris and 911s, whose company you believe the S2000 doesn't belong in. The Z4's...

    best value sports car under 100k?

    haha. I just mean, like, wtf, it's a Honda roadster convertible. it seems doubly oxymoronical. that's all I can think of to describe a Honda roadster convertible: "wtf?" that and "why?" also, as far as the sports car argument goes, I say let's just agree that it's perceptual. I'm sure there's a...

    The greatest Formula One driver of all time.

    I've got to add Gilles Villeneuve. It's almost impossible to compare different eras. Certainly, the early drivers were subject to some pretty brutal driving conditions. I also don't like the modern semi-auto gearboxes and narrow tires of the modern era. Sadly for me, F1 has lost it's romance...

    best value sports car under 100k?

    Re: dumb to think like that. Thanks, but I didn't mean it to come out that way. I am not hung up on public perception -- good or bad -- and am damn proud to own one. It's basically, a hand made, clean sheet modern Porsche. Can't beat that for $30k CAD. Actually, we never considered the 911 at...

    best value sports car under 100k?

    As long as we're in the $40- $60 k area, another car that I hear only good things about is the Honda S2000. Revs like a banshee, rwd, handles VERY well, clean sharp lines -- I think... and lots of room for customizing. Would you even consider that? And no, I don't work for Honda. Just a fan of...

    best value sports car under 100k?

    Yes, styling is a really personal area;, one of those heart-wins-over-head deal breaker areas, so fair enough. And Jon, I also fully understand from my reading -- mostly Car and Driver -- that the Boxster/Caymans are more fun to drive than the 911s, and so are a good relative bargain. And...
