I also have the Ascents as mains. I was able to audition both the Cinema and Theater when I bought my center channel. I thought the Theater was way better than the Cinema, so thats what I got. I have never regretted my decision for a minute. If you can swing the Theater I'm sure you will be very...

Nice bike TJ. It reminds me of some of the softails I have built. I did ride mine though. I used to get a lot of comments from people on the road about riding full custom bikes for long distances. Brings back good memories. The last softail I built, I put 120,000 miles on in 5 years. When I did...

CHEAP THRILLS - BIG BROTHER AND THE HOLDING CO. I bought this just for the cover art, I had never even heard of them before. It was on vinyl and had just been released for the first time. I actually saved up my school lunch money to buy it. I still love this record even today.

I too have had the RT-10 for several years and still find no reason to upgrade. It replaced a Pioneer Elite, I believe it was the DV-45A. When I got the RT-10 I was expecting a slight upgrade, but it amazed me. It just blew the Pioneer away in every category. There are always better or at least...

Having heard both the Summits and different models of the Wilson on various occasions, I agree with Audiophiliac that though they are different it would be a toss up for me as to which is best or even which I perfer. Both models are so clean that you here what the upstream cpmponents are doing...

When I first met my wife she thought I was a nut when it came to audio. But over the years she has come to aceept it. I actually think she likes it now. Since the home theater was added she now suggests watching movies together more than I normally would. She has her own expensive hobbies, so...

My Descent hummed whenever it was plugged in, whether there was a signal going to it or not. I tried a simple little 99 cent "ground plug adapter" from the hardware store. It cured the problem completely and has been working for the last three years. Try it, it may work for you.

Tom, I did the same thing a few tears ago. I had a Denon receiver and thought I should upgrade. I looked at the Sunfire and the Krell showcase which were available at Ultimate electronics. They were nice, but I also auditioned Classe electronics. The Classe, I thought just blew them both away...

We started with Blockbuster and then my wife switched us to Netflix. In my opinion Netflix is much better. The prices are comparable, but Netflix seems to get your next movie out a lot faster. Usually, when I mail one back we will receive the next one in only 2 days. The only problem with...

I have my wife do the ear candles on me about every six months or so. We have been doing for about the last three years. It works. You can buy ear candles in most health food stores.
