My Sound System

My Sound System

Say what you want about "boys and their toys," but this collection of hardware allows me to escape the foolish world as it is and dive ears-first into the MUSIC.

For anyone who is interested, the towers are Martin Logan "reQuest" hybrid electrostatic speakers. The black monoblocks are Mark Levinson ML-2 power amplifiers, and the center commode is a Vandersteen 2-W subwoofer.

I don't know the Martin Logans (I am a Bowers & Wilkins man) but I sure know Mark Levinson and Vandersteen by reputation.  Killer system!

Electrostatics aren't everybody's thing, Idaho, though they sure as hell are MINE.  They're also not easy to make, and, unless you have a design like the Martin-Logans, they tend to be VERY directional, with a single "sweet spot."

And yeah, you can do better ... if you have five or six figures in your wallet, and no, I'm NOT kidding!

The one time I listened to electrostatics, it was the best fidelity I'd ever heard.  I wonder why everyone doesn't make them.

Indeed, I do have a turntable, Napoleon, and a pretty fair collection of vinyl.  As for the speakers, trust me: they sound at least as good as they look!

I see you've still got a record player and those speakers look awesome.

Hello fellow atheists!  I have joined this site in an attempt to find other rational individuals, such as myself, and to promote a current charity drive that I am trying to get going for the Oklahoma tornado victims.  I have managed to get many groups from around my area, including the Beyond Belief Foundation to back me on this endeavor. 

I am located in Newnan, Ga and have my own atheist group entitled "Coweta County Atheists".  I am currently being backed by Spaulding Co.…

Pope's 'exorcism' caught on film video

Posted by Debra Stevenson on May 21, 2013 at 2:37pm 0 Comments

There is a video of the Pope's 'exorcism' caught on film.  The man isn't demon possessed, there are likely no 'real' demons.  He's just delusional and doesn't want to accept personal responsiblity for his own behavior for his own dysfunctional life.

Do you support 'traditional' marriage, vot now ad

Posted by Debra Stevenson on May 21, 2013 at 2:28pm 2 Comments

There is an ad that reads ' Do you support 'traditional' marriage? Vote Now"!  .

 

 

No, I don't support 'traditional' marriage because there is no such thing. I support heterosexual and same-sex couples marry each other legally , yes.  'Traditional' marriage promoters largely do not believe that heterosexual women are co-equal to their husbands.  Their only purpose in 'traditional' marriage is to sexually satisfy their husbands if they can and raise children and do all…

i've got no problem with everyone saying "merry christmas" on christmas day.  however, they've turned it into an entire holiday season where it lasts a month or more.  in those situations it should be perfectly acceptable to say "happy holidays" or call it a…
