Why not? I prefer to go balanced if I can, and I would definitely do it here. I can't say if switching to balanced input will change the way you hear things, but it is worth trying.

Holy smokes! It's Duggeh! Enjoy the festival but catch us on BrewDoug Brewing ASAP.

I'd love custom design ideas, Steve, but this is for Mayberry and will be mounted on the knotty pine paneling so you will have to adjust your mental image. The room is narrow so the wall mount idea will be the best use of space, although I agree with Jacob that a good floor standing rack can be just about as flush to the wall. Still, I think the wall mount plan will be the "lightest" visually, which is why I don't like that big Sanus thing with the black backing, wide shelves, etc. I have actually thought about using this kind of computer rack system shelf: I have some of these from scavenging at an old office, and have mounted them upside down so that it becomes a flat shelf and the vertical piece gives it more rigidity. Anyway, they would not be attractive but might just disappear altogether.

Are in a gray state or a gray state?

Instead of starting yet another furniture thread, I figured I would tag onto Marc's old one. I am looking for wall-mount shelves for a/v components for under a flat screen. Problem is I need something that can hold 60 pounds because my McCormack amp will be one of the components. Most Sanus stuff goes up to 50 pounds and it is glass, which seems risky. Billy Bags has some pricey and inflexible shelves but probably won't work unless I buy two separate turntable stands for a shitload of money. Any other ideas? Here is one Sanus option that can support the weigh: But it looks kind of ugly underneath the TV:

Too much what? Too much awesome? Just enough in my book.

Think pitching in baseball and you'll find such classics as these: Yoko Ono's got better pitch control than you I've seen better pitching in T-ball! Call the zoo, he's getting wild! You've got about as much control as two rabbits on their first date! Hey, lunch meat - keep serving that baloney! How can you throw with both hands wrapped around your neck? You couldn't pitch hot biscuits to a hungry dog I've seen a better arm on a box of baking soda! I've seen better arms on a beanbag chair! http://www.heckledep...itcher-heckles/ http://baseballtips.com/humor.html

Sweet B&R Mike! Nice.

Are you enjoying the Pinnacle and other recent purchases? You've been posting here more than usual, so it might be evidence of happiness.

I've got nothing better to do than help my friends get their beer on. Let me know who needs DOTU LLC and we'll get you squared away.

I am not going up there but I can receive and re-route. It is expensive because you have to pay for two shipments, but I will PM the address.

Yes, yes you do.

Audio Technica knock-offs?

I'll report back.

The Fatted Calf could convert a hardcore vegan. Seriously.

Good luck Tom. Hope the next one isn't anything to worry about. My Manhattan office just got powered up this afternoon. We have some major deadlines this week that may have to be extended because this has really taken a toll on productivity.

Wayne trusting the advice of his girlfriend is a Christmas Miracle, indeed! Good on you, Santa.

Great story Carl.

Awesome. Should have posted this yesterday:

Executive Styling comes before Legendary Sound

Bummer Leonardo. I think the whole Melos/Grado thing is overblown and your comments are typical of my limited experiences with the combo.

Nice job Vicki! Pledge made and paid!

Nice twice.
