Audiokarma.org is full of vintage junkies that think Kenwood bookshelf speakers with five way supertweets and a big Pioneer receiver is the pinnacle of hi-fi, and look at you funny if you didn't buy your stuff at a yard sale for twenty bucks...not to mention there's a strong legion of cassette tape fanboyz that will swarm when threatened...

Audiocircle is nothing but a huge manufacturer's forum, they have a nice open baffle section but that's about it.

Audioasylum has the best discussion but their software sucks, you can't track a thread past a few replies before it all gets jumbled.

DIYAudio is great but they shun you if you recommend something already assembled.

HTGuide, well, if you don't have five channels and a big screen, GTFO.

AVS gives me epilepsy.

I haven't been to htguide in a while. I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE there rotel and B & W thread though, with show your setup. I almost cream everytime I look at it.

I usually just read diyaudio, this forum, and elitecaraudio.

2) with digital, your actual focal length is longer than you think...if you slap a lens that was 50mm on 35mm film, it's going to be around 75mm for digital. The sensor's smaller than a frame of 35mm film.

Did not realize that with digitals, my main camera is/was a Canon AE-1, old school film goodness

There is definitely such a thing as a stupid question. Many stupid questions, in fact.

My first SLR was an A-1, I loved that thing.

Well, if you have Canon lenses already, might as well go with that...

I miss my Contax and Zeiss stuff

Everything I've read about the rebels say you can shoot in RAW, is it just one specific rebel that won't let you?

This was the one I was thinking about...must have got it confused with something else.

Hmm...price on the EOS 10D's have come down a lot...may be time to upgrade...

I don't have any new Canon lenses, just the old school stuff that won't work on the new bodies.

Want a wall in the Exploder?

Umm not that I know of.

man I went to the gym today and its the first time in a lonnnnnnnng time. I wanted to cry, I couldn't believe how much in weight I had gone down. Just terrible. I can't believe I've let myself slack off this badly. Oh well, steve's been helping me out and I thank him for that . I'll keep chippin at it, I'll get back to were I was in no time.

::back to listening to tool::

You let your body detrain, and that always sucks. No worries though - you'll get back at it and notice your strength slowly start to come back.

I take a week off here and there and come back feeling a boatload stronger ... I like how that works

Sean, an FYI if you come to Kansas sometime in the next month. All my stereo gear will be gone this weekend and won't be setup untill June 1 when I'm in the house in Manhattan, anytime after June 1 I'll be flip-flopping back between home and manhattan so if your in the area sometime after June 1 I'll be around.

YAY for FedEx!

One of the grad students in the Civil dept. where I work (just got his PhD) said one day that there are no stupid questions, just stupid people that ask them.

Just got off the phone with mom, turns out the family dog that I grew up with (~16 years old) died last week.

I disagree on the HTGuide, but only where ThomasW and JonMarsh post.
