Welcome to the IHoP

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.

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.

[JimJ 11]

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

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.

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

[topgun 262]

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.

[topgun 262]

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.

[topgun 262]

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