  4. My vote for most overrated film in history goes to The Blair Witch Project. I could not believe this film actually made it into the box office. I could not watch it, it was so poorly done. It was as if a bunch of teenagers went out into the woods with their cell phone camera's taking footage. Besides, it was so jerky and unsteady it made me nauseous. Worst film I've ever suffered through, though only briefly since I shut it off.
  5. Mark, This sounds like another great endeavor to take on. I listen exclusively to tracks streamed over my home network from the QNAP and Synology NAS units here in the house. I listen to mainly Flac files I've downloaded from HDTracks in mainly 24Bit-88kHz, 24Bit-96kHz and 24Bit-192kHz resolutions and find them to sound quite nice. I wouldn't say they sound night and day better than the Redbook CD versions, I've ripped into Flac from my collection of CD's, but they are, typically, noticeably better sounding to me. But that's not always the case for some reason. Some sound like they are not as loud as the Redbook versions off my CD's and sound slightly weak. I also have some tracks I've setup in Wav format, since my BMW could only play Wav files from it's hard drive, and I kept them on one of the NAS's as backup and do listen to them occasionally. I don't believe there is any difference between the Flac and Wav sound quality in any of the tracks that I've ripped from the same CD's though. At least I can't hear any difference. I look forward to your findings.

  9. @Crisp, I purchased a C-1 paired with an M-1.5t back in 2008. I always thought the M-1.5t just sounded very harsh and grainy after listening to it for a few years. So I'm going along my OCCD path and happen upon an M-400, buy it and find that it sounds much cleaner and has none of the graininess I was hearing from the M-1.5t. So I listened to it in my setup for a few years. Well, then I decided to try that old M-1.5t again. And I really crank it up and it's sounding just awful to me. That's when it suddenly went into protection mode and simply died. Now I joined this site a little while after I went through my M-1.5t, repaired it and put it back into my system, I was amazed at how clean the sound of the M-1.5t is once it is running properly with all new capacitors and having replaced the output transistors. So I would say you're running it on borrowed time and it is likely going to have trouble in the not too distant future. A re-cap is highly recommended to keep it running well for you.
  10. I'd have to go with Richard Harris' MacArthur Park. I quite liked the music, but the lyrics were atrocious and just ruined it for me.
  11. Ray Stevens - The Streak from 1974 came at a time when I was impressionable. I thought it was hilarious, my parents, not so much... Turbo
