Did someone mention hockey? I'm a big time hockey fan and have been since I was a kid and watched Bobby Hull and Bobby Orr play. Right now in the greater NYC area hockey is the only major American sport with decent NYC area teams. Last night I watched the game between the first place NY Islanders and the third place NY Rangers - fantastic game in which the Rangers came back from 5-3 third period deficit to win 6-5 in regulation. Now if only an Eastern Conference team can just manage to beat the Western Conference team in the finals, something the East hasn't been able to do for several years. By the way, the game looked great on my HDTV because I recently rewired my entire home theater setup with all audiophile cabling :) Living Rm: Transporter-SimAudio pre/power amps-Vandersteen 3A Sign. & sub Home Theater: Touch-Marantz HTR-Energy Veritas 2.1 & Linn sub Computer Rm: Touch-Headroom Desktop w/DAC-Aragon amp-Energy Veritas 2.1 & Energy sub Bedroom: Touch-HR Desktop w/DAC-Audio Refinement amp-Energy Veritas 2.0 Guest Rm: Duet-Sony soundbar Garage: SB3-JVC compact system Controls: iPeng; SB Controller; Moose & Muso Server: SBS on dedicated windows 7 computer w/2 Drobos 'Last.fm' (http://www.last.fm/user/jazzfann/) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ralphpnj's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10827 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103146 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
