Lazing Around
This past weekend I had two tasks I wanted to accomplish:
-
Buy a new watch
-
See michaelb's
baby
What I actually did:
-
Saturday
Went to Fry's, bought some component cable
Went to see Once
Upon a Time in Mexico. It was interesting to note that the teenagers didn't
seem to enjoy the movie very much, probably because they've never seen El
Mariachi or Desperado.

Sunday
Went to Home Depot & Staples to pick up random tools and things
Helped my friend, Jason, (bi)wire up his new speakers
Which brings me to the real reason for this post. Jason's new speakers are quite
impressive, to say the least. He had broken them in over the past month with
some generic Radio Shack cable. Yesterday we broke out the real cable and we
had enough left over to bi-wire the front left & rights (note: they actually support
tri-wiring!). Anyway, after a bit of fine tuning, we started throwing every
acoustically impressive CD and DVD at it and it sounded quite good.
I think an SACD player may be next in line.
