    Please stop smoking the Cheetoh's! ;)

    Welcome back? :confused:
    There is no genuine justice in any scheme of feeding and coddling the loafer whose only ponderable energies are devoted wholly to reproduction. Nine-tenths of the rights he bellows for are really privileges and he does nothing to deserve them. We not only acquired a vast population of morons, we have inculcated all morons, old or young, with the doctrine that the decent and industrious people of the country are bound to support them for all time.-Menkin

    Dude, we were concerned about Bruce. We KNOW you've been here.

    Two. Active I am?

    El Christo, man. Drop the faux jedi-master speak. You sound like a MORON.

    Actually, it should read:

    The only Morons around here are you and Russ

    (I know it's tough to use the King's english when you are used to fortune cookie)

    Who said I don't like Star Wars? I LOVE the original Star Wars. I have the original movie soundtrack on vinyl. Not the music, the whole movie (minus the video, you know?). I got it as a Christmas present when I was 8. My aunt thought it was the music (so did I). It's kinda cool to listen to the whole movie. I was an Obi-Wan **** with a broomstick as a youngster.

    You, on the other hand, just sound like a moron. Not to mention that I think it's HILARIOUS that no one else missed you either. Of course, you were never gone.

    Sure he does. If I recall correctly, he has actually developed a disease and can't help himself. Comes from being a Star Wars freak, the Zen Whoopie movement, and practicing the Brown Eye variation of Judo.

    The Beemer is doing just fine.
    I for one have more time to spend inside the house now that the winter is here.

    No village is missing me as only a very small few in here missed me. But the point that I really never left is somewhat true. I'm around just don't post that much.

    I train in the basement and cool thing is I teach my kids. They are doing good with there training and I keep it fun.

    I'm starting to get the upgrade bug again and the B&K is on the chopping block as well as the DVD player(dv47a). The new B&K avr507 s2 isn't all that. I want it to be as the REF50 s2 will be the same. I haven't played or Installed seperates with the new series yeat but hoping I will as we sell alot of LSI. I have my eye on the Pioneer Elite dv59avi and the Denon 3910 dvd players. I like both players alot. I have not had the time to sit and demo them against each other. My tv has HDMI and I want to use it with a New DVD player or a New HD DSS receiver. One input it has for HDMI which kinda sucks but it's ok.

    The Lsi's are still hanging in there as I have thought of getting them out as well. Next speaker upgrade wil be Dynaudio and nothing else. It's something I must own . But for now the Lsi again are doing just fine.

    If I do go Dynaudio in the near future then the Kimber double run 8tc 8tc bi wires will have to go as Dynaudio nothing is bi wireable. Looks like Kimber Monocle will be the wire of choice.

    I'm really happy with the performance Kimber did for my system. The only cable I have that I felt that didn't do any better then Monstcable well 2 is the Digital X coax digital cable and the Optical cable. They sound exaclty the same as the coax and optical from Monstercable. I hear no difference at all when I upgraded them. Coax is on the DVD and optical is on the DSS Tivo. I have Monster optical on the HD DSS receiver. I run Dual tuner DSS TiVo and single tuner HDTV DSS receivers. I would liike to upgrade to the HD TiVo 10250 but **** a grand for a DSS receiver TiVo or not sucks. I'd love to record HD and have TiVo features but man a GRAND!!!???!!!

    Control wise is also in the air. My Pronto is still kicking after all these years It's 5 years old now and never skipped a beat. I'm thinking the Mx800 or the Mx3000. Those remotes are so nice and work flawless. Elan has a Wireless Via and I'm eager to play with one. I liked the wired Via so we shall see. That also is on the list. I scratched Crestron off as there panels are to much. Sweet but expensive for even my taste. I feel not the need to spend the extra money there.

    **** I think I'm gonna just buy a damn ReL. We dropped them a year or so ago and I have been lost since. The LsiW is nowhere to be found so I'm tired of waiting. Now that I'm in the house and playing with my system again, I need a sub. I haven't had no intrest when the LSIW was lost. I had little intrest in my system of quite awile now. A guess work , life and a new car can do all that.

    whatever Dan did to alienate himself from the group must have been back in the day. Some of his posts are mildly annoying, but no more than mine or anyone else's, so I assume this goes back a ways...
