Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Stereo suggestions for vocals???

That sounds good, Mark. I want one too. Maybe I can borrow yours when you're done.

Allow? ALLOW? Fer the love of... Look, buddy...aaarrghhh! I don't know where to begin. So the music industry has executive powers that ALLOWS it do deny sales of new technology? I didn't know that. Guess I should go ahead and burn my reel-to-reel and cassette and VCR and Tivo as well as my dual-layer DVD burner. Meanwhile go ahead and keep posting here asking for advice from Axiophiles while listening to all of your non-Axiom gear and bashing Axiom subs while buying Axiom speakers on eBay and asking advice on how to rip them off for a replacement set. Check out a website called slashdot.org for news on how consumers and lawmakers are pushing back on the industry as far as digital rights go. You are reaping the ill-gotten un-thinking underbelly rewards of the digital age with nary a thought for the consequences of your actions. And you are totally ignoring the gist of setting yourself up with high-end audio equipment. I'll bet you watch DVD's "shrunk" to half-size with online software to avoid actually buying or renting one. And you have the f*cking gall to ask us to help you find a workaround?

Am I the only one who finds Jinx's posts more funny than maddening?

yes.

wow dude. i never bashed axiom subs...and i don't remember asking how to screw axiom in anyway. you just better deal with the reality that once the horse is out of the gate on mp3's and dvd's it is out. you think any less of someone who copied vhs movies? i BUY tonsof dvd movies...but not all. i have purchased music in the past, but not anymore due to the rediculous pricing they ask for. all the rest, well get a grip. you think i should feel bad becuase i get deals on axiom equipment rather than buy direct from axiom for double the price? gimme a break. i save money wherever i can, and hell, if someone wants to sell me 900.00 usd speakers new in the box for 500.00 usd (my m60's) then why should i feel badly about that? in my books that is SMART....thank you very much...

Do what I do...buy your dvd's and cd's used on Ebay. I tend to get most of my DVD's for under $7 each, and cd's for about $5.

That way you get the quality your system (and yourself) deserve, and you're not stealing from anybody.

Honestly the stealing (mp3's) I really couldn't care much about, but what really is nuts is that you're listening to low quality mp3's on a really great system and wondering why it doesn't sound great. That's just silly.

Ebay is the way.

now that is actually a good idea. i buy most of my movies at blockbuster used, and get a good deal on those...but for music...ebay might b ethe way to go. thanks

Good call Spiff!! To add to that comment, Amazon is another way to get CD's for very little. I've purchased a few used (and in great condition)for $3 to $5 while giving the industry $0. In the end I know it's that artists that get the bad end of this, but that's why they tour isn't it? On a positive note, and thanks to the Web, many independent artists are doing really well these days and I GLADLY purchase their cd's. The Illustrated Band, Mutemath, and Sufjan Stevens, and Indukti are a few examples.

You must be one of those well-adjusted types I keep hearing about.

I've been a member of yourmusic.com for about five or six months now, and I have no complaints. No shipping charges, and all (single) CDs are $5.99.
