Never buy from someone with no feedback is a good rule as a lot of the too-good-to-be-true deals are just that and always buy from someone with 201 positive Audiogon feedback points :o ...

ETR,

Are you going to take the SACD 1000 down to your neighbor for modding?

I think Stan's pretty backed up with orders right now, especially with the 399 Philips SACDs that people are sending him. I'm going to wait until this summer :mrgreen:

Hmmm...22 replies talking about how there's nothing to talk about anymore.

Interesting...

Indeed.  Let us talk more about the talk that there's nothing left to talk about...

 :?

My SACD 1000 is burning in.  A competent machine.  In stock form, not the equal of my smART DIO/Sony DVP-S7000 combo, but hey it plays those Sackdees! :)  Now I need to actually buy a few of those overpriced glorified CD's to try out the magic of DSD.  ANd no, the samplers they include (well the one I listened to anyway) don't cut it for me.  Not a classical fan.  I too am waiting for mods by Stan W. (maybe someone else).  But I need to log a year or so to make sure it taint gonna crap out on me first! :)  Later Gents.

So how is someone supposed to GET good feedback if nobody buys anything from them?  There's a Catch 22 for ya... heh!

We could just do it w/out the football...

A beverage forum. A good beer is always nice, but a good wine is better. Unfortunately the price of 2 or 3 good bottles of wine gets you an entire keg of great beer.

Maybe with a little bit of Marbles signature touch :wink: added to liven the place up a bit. :mrgreen:

I like Boston Lager, it's my current default bottle beer :-)

For some reason I'm bought RedHook ESB last time I went to the supermarket, which I liked for a while for have kinda gone off on :roll:

Eric,

Do you know if Rogue still make beer?  They made the only fruit beer I could tolerate several years ago.   A lot of good beers come from the Northwest...Deschutes, Widmer, Pyramid...heck Henry Weinhard made one of the first American beers that I thought had flavor way back when.  Some of the better beer commercials came from Henry's and Rainier beer.  I'd like to get copies of those if anyone knows a place that has them.

cheers,

Dick

You betcha :wink: go to www.rogue.com for a list. Two of my favorites are Shakespeare Stout and Dead Guy. Henry's beer sucks IMO :mrgreen:

about Henry's...yes it does suck, but it didn't when it first came out. I had just gotten back from a tour in Germany and it was about all I could drink without gagging.  Things have gotten better. :D

It was actually worth a damn at one point? :o When did Henry's go bad? It's been nasty as long as I recall.
