What State Are You From

[Drizt]

Just interested in what the state distribution of members is for Planet Audio

[joz]

Why is there any other state? :biggrin:

It is an age old question that no one has ever been able to answer :)

[terry j]

""""Why is there any other state? biggrin.gif""""" There is the state that I often live in, inebriated!

[Drizt]

Vic is leading the way so far *as expected :biggrin: *, hopefully we get a lot more people voting to get a better idea of where most people are from.

[Keith_W]

From Vic (but you knew that already, just see my profile!) ;) But originally from WA. In fact I still feel more loyalty to WA than to Vic, but that may change ;)

[alto]

Hi everyone,

I'm from Victoria also.

I'll be moving into a new house in December and am looking to purchase my first hi fi system.

I have so much to learn but it looks like I couldn't be in a better location.

Mate I have just been trying to figure this same question out for various individuals here. I wish everyone would update their sigs to include their state if not their town. Make it easier to get them invites to gtg's :)

PS Any of you non-Mexicans who want to cross the border for our CDP shootout on Sat pm, you are all invited (just so you don't feel left out OK?)

lol, that must be the reason....., winter seems to be damn cold and miserable that's for sure (which is saying something being originally from the shaky isles!)

Nice warm day today, 27 according to bom (at Parramatta anyway).

Anyway, pros and cons, seems to be more hifi fun to be had in VIC :-(

Norpus, you are more than welcome to come to my house, except there really is no point as I am probably where you were about 5 years ago, working on it though :-) Might be a couple of other forum members (both here and on that other forum who might be interested??)

EDIT: Oops, better go enter where I'm from <sheepish grin> no NZ jokes please!

I'm sure they'll love the setup. The question on everyone's lips is though, what are you going to upgrade... Pre perhaps, oh I know damn that's right you were going to sell me your speakers at a bargain basement rate because you loved those Wilsons so much! :wink:

MODERATORS WHERE ARE YOU GUYS????
WHY HAVN'T YOU BANNED THESE GUYS AND THIS ROT IN THIS THREAD :biggrin:

[Spearmint]

Congratulations Norpus. I’ll be interested in which projector you go for as a replacement.

I have a problem with mine and HDMI with the Denon DVD player, just another reason why I don’t like projectors. :(

I just got the Sony Cineza one. It was a toss up between that one or the AE900 Panasonic. I think the Pano has a ever so slightly better picture (pixels closer together) but the Sony has a better contrast and better globe warranty. If you have heaps to spend the HD Sony PJ has an unbelivably good picture but it's 14k.

Now back to normal transmission...

[Hippy]

Mate, I'm going the pana. Know od any going inexpensively?
[/b]

The only person I know with the pano got it off ebay for 2400, probably a grey import so warranty might be an issue. I certainly wouldn't pay more than 25-26 for one though. Shame you've just missed the free spare lamp offer.

Let's see more votes people :)

[Aslan]

Why more votes.....................don't you bloody Mexicans outnumber us enough already?
Hey mondie...............I see your hovering.............when are your guests coming?

[mondie]

Andrew,

Aaron and Jen dropped in on Friday arvo and had a good session, that was until the news on Peter Brocks death came through :( l am sure Aaron will post his impressions when he gets home from his weekend away.

Cheers

[Aslan]

NO probs...I couldn't remember which day, as i know they were heading further east for a few days as well.
Yes, the news would have put a damper on things I'm sure.
Re: the subsonic filtering, I think we'll have to do it at line level given the way your setup is configured. Ian R is looking into it for me, and I'll do some research on other stuff available as well.

[Keith_W]

WA, NT, TAS, and ACT still have zero members each. Strange, I think that OZCal is from WA. Why haven't you voted? Scotland is not in Australia ;)

Maybe I should have voted "WA" since i'm thinking of going back there :(

Ok great, l will be keen to ehar about what may be possible. To be honest l havent noticed too much subsonic crap lately but its still something worth considering l think.

Loved the Australs :p .. Jen even went as far as to say she loves them more than that $250,000 setup we listened to some time ago. Can't give a better wrap than that.

Thumbs up Mondie for inviting us into your house. Sometimes I worry at the thought of letting strangers into my house, and I thank you for trusting us enough.

[Grumpy]

Don't get me started on bloody Vic's
You do know that SA was the first state to be settled with free settlers, not convicts?
Audiophiles? Mmm do they read Gramaphone, smoke pipes and sip red wine and still think Lp's are 'it. Glad I'm not one.'

[Aslan]

As much as I hate to admit it, I actually watched the last quarter of the game. The result didn't bother me in the end...........man that was some good football to witness, and a just result after last year's cliffhanger.

Today...............I'd like the Storm to win..........but not by much!

Hey Guys

What was this SITE called before this.

That's right [Planet Audio].........We are now Know as stereo.net.au

How many of the original Planet Audio people still post here?

Consider that in your poll.

Anybody got the numbers of [since the change over] and Prior to.

That might give a more representative call on actual active forum members.

[Keith_W]

Well as a matter of fact we do have some stats.

Up till Feb 2007, PA was getting about 3000 posts/month.

From Mar 2007 onwards, SNA averages about 4800 posts/month.

Not possible to dissect the stats into who has been posting and who has not.

[Drizt]

Bump.

Newbies, vote away.

[Grumpy]

I was wondering just yesterday how the stats were going.
There have been a few WA's and SA's sign up lately.

[ALF]

Hello ... Stats stuffer here!
I just spotted this thread and voted ... now I said I'm from SA ... because I am ... But, I'm actually living in Vic (if you can call this "living" - cough, cough, cough) - I'm in Melbourne because that's where I have to be (so I guess I should have checked the Vic box) - but my heart is in SA.
ALF :p

[bronal]

I live in the ACT!

There's at least one other member - warnesy.

[Grumpy]

WHAT? 13 South Aussies and we can't do a GTG. Shame on us.

[mondie]

- but my heart is in SA.
