"Proper hifi shops did not open Sundays or generally before 10am, although personnel were often on site much earlier for staff training, auditioning new equipment and preparing for the days booked demos . . . how things have changed."

We don't open on Sundays and never will!

Staff training? Yup, staff training has changed. We now attend training seminars at manufacturer's HQ's.

So we no longer audition equipment? :D

Speaker/ Electronics burn-in, does it exsist?

No way I'm getting involved in that one bit like cables and power supply filtering you can't win over there.

Yes it does exist! IMHO of course :lol:

I don't think it's good when you decide not to get involved in a thread that's meant for discussion because you know that there will be muppets thread crapping and just disagreeing because they can.

I'm getting seriously tired of the EQ is no good crap. I'm seeing it on 2 forums right now. Some people just don't realise improvements when they hear them. They must be pretty fudging deluded to believe that a benefit is somehow making their system sound worse. Wake up and smell the coffee you dumbass gimboids!!

Review of the Year ?????????

"The great achievement from Avi, under my perspective, is the legitimacy and capacity of identification, with which he takes hand and delivers some sonorities and musical styles, that may be seen under some perspectives, as stereotypes. The fact that this or that specific form of music or style, may have a strong connotation with some of its factual origins, doesn't mean that we may not understand and interpret it, in its also universal interactive signification, while making necessarily part of a bigger necessity, which is the one of the human emotions. And Avi, uses it admirably... even when the barrier of the language leaves us with some emptiness or disconsolation, the delivery and both musical capacity and quality, always ends up compensating and effectively being a rewarding experience.

This, is generically an album quite tranquil and serene...starting right away with the delightful interaction of the first track... a treat. Rock, blues country and traditional music, through the heart, hand and voice of a Israeli man of the world, makes this pack, another unique blend with a valuable asset that goes way beyond any restrictions of concepts and assumptions.

In my modest opinion, a favorite amongst favorites.

Finally, a note about the cover art, which constitutes a personal signature, while again and all over, an excellent contribution to the overall concept... just like happened, moreover, in all the previous releases."

I know the guy isn't British due to his spelling, but is he English? Some of that just read like he'd glanced through a dictionary to spice things up a bit!

Don't you just love forums? Why do we bother, eh?

I'm currently bickering with some nonce who has just linked to a number of articles from 2007 and 2008 to prove that he believes he is right about his vision of the future for Sigma based media streamers. What a sad little boy!! :roll:

A thread on a forum in a galaxy far, far away....about Sci-Fi movie recommendations....

Quote:
Hmm... I actually enjoyed The Day the Earth Stood Still too, the one with Keanu Reeve in it. Casting him was inspired. Perhaps having not seen the original helped.


Quote:
I agree about Earth Stood Still - Reeves was good. I've only seen the last half of film on TV. I'll have to catch the whole thing as I was quite impressed.
:lol:


And a comment about Blade Runner....
Quote:
A bit overrated IMO. I've tried watching it a few times but I always end up getting bored and turning it off half way through. It's a film that I feel should be great but it just never manages to hold my attention.

Casting Keanu Reeves was a good choice, as he acts like a robot anyway!! :lol: The script could have been much better and they ruined it even further by overdoing the crappy effects. A wasted opportunity really.

The comment about Blade Runner is clearly from someone who needs the typical Hollywood BS to hold his short attention span.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but some people really have no clue. :roll:

Blade runner is over rated. I've seen it so many times since a kid and it's only watchable slot is late night stumbled upon viewing. Even the director keeps going back to try and make it right.

He only went back once because the producers screwed him the first time around , and the TC cut back in 82 was not his own version the 92 one is and it has not changed since
