sean, got the names of some of the stuff i ate, minji is going to get proper phonetic spellings for them and then i'll post.

thanks Matt. Always curious to try whatever I haven't eaten. My sort of standard menu reading trick, what is this I haven't heard of it, I'll take it.

she's going to get on top of it as soon as she finishes homework...lmfao

i could read the post it to you, but seeing as how i don't speak korean it'd be... slash, zero, h, arrow, pointy thingy

for home audio, is it crazy to assume that you could just run a HT setup off receiver power? i need to find a setup for her parents' downstairs room but don't even know where to start. don't want anything too expensive, i'm guessing a budget of 2k-8k but that's totally off the top of my head.

bahahahaha, this guy definitely doesn't conceal how he feels (he writes for Muscle Car Review)

"The challenge to put together a bone-stock versus modified comparison initially had me looking for one of those loathsome, Pro Touring, poseur cars. Even out here in the Midwest, the trend is catching on, with a growing contingent of people who are ditching their 14s and 15s for more contemporary wheel-and-tire packages. I have to admit that there are certainly economical advantages to keeping a car on jackstands until show time and then borrowing the 20s off Mom's tricked-out Suburban. Sure, the brakes no longer work, the steering radius is halved, and all potholes most be plotted out prior to departure. But doggonit, those diamond-studded, five-spoke rims draw the crowds at the drive-in."

Wow what an assface...(even though I don't advocate anything bigger than 18" on a car)

I'd buy him a beer

Given enough efficiency, you could. How big of a room?

off to Detroit tomorrow.

big ass room but thank god it doesn't have to fill it,

[JimJ 11]

Is the receiver 4 ohm stable?

[vladd 26]

hasn't been bought yet, so maybe

i'm figuring a receiver is going to be the easiest way to accomplish what they want. it also must be able to run HDMI for the ps3

OT in championship!!

Although, for 8 grand, you could buy pre-built stuff too, a full surround set of Magnepans would be pretty sweet

[vladd 26]

no building on this one, and given that the TVs msrp is around $6k i'm hoping to get that kind of budget at least.

still debating if i should do it or not though

[topgun 262]

I think you should do a full horn setup, using the BVR frugual horn spawns... Something like the Bruce or anything using like an 8" driver.

Five Martin Logans...mmmhmm

Would need more than a receiver would provide, though...

[topgun 262]

That was a quality game.

[JimJ 11]

Yep.

[JimJ 11]

And UNC lost.

Can't expect anything more out of the season than that.

but in all seriousness. How many people do you think doing a blind ab test could discern the $50k from $100 cd player ? I would bet out of 100 people tested, those who picked it right could be counted on one hand

I would guess the number would be over 50%

My bet is not very many, unless there was some serious design flaws with the $100 CD player

[MKader17 332]

Statistically it should be 50. I really don't see why statistics wouldn't prevail give or take a few. I choose to give because I figure this group would include a few that could actually tell a difference

[JimJ 11]

Which is exactly why multiple independent tests need to be done for each listener

[JimJ 11]

Guessing right once is one thing, guessing right five times in a row is another
