| Running Speaker Wire through Drywall Get yourself a "fish." This is a great electrician's tool (inexpensive at most home improvement stores). A fish resembles a really big "tape measure," in that it is basically a retractable strip of metal encased between plastic or metal sides. The... | |
| New Rainbow remasterings are awful Actually, Blackmore was a "primo" guitarist. As good as he was in DP Mk II (I love that era), his prowess really began to peak during the DP Mk III and early Rainbow years. At the time of Rainbow, I was into a "broader" range of music and I really... | |

| Best universal player under $3000 Since exceptional audio is your objective, you might want to consider getting a reasonably-priced universal (rated high for video output) to use as a transport and run it through an outboard DAC. PS Audio has a DAC (Digital Link III) that retails ... | |
| Anyone catch Robin Trower on tour? My buddy caught the show in Nashville. Jack Bruce was the bass player (no kidding). Unfortunately, my friend said there were only about 100 people in attendance and the band was clearly disappointed by the turnout. I guess they only played for abo... | |

| Feds to audiophiles: You're all pirates now I've never listened to an MP3. The compression is bad enough on RedbooK CDs and All DVD audio tracks. | |
| Your First Concert was..... Deep Purple - Machine Head tour, 1972. I still remember the experience. I was only eleven years old and I wasn't really sure what to expect. Good Gawd! That one event was seminal in leading me down the slippery slope of life (Drugs, Sex & Rock... | |
| Power conditioners .... improve VIDEO? Please tell me more about shielded power cords. Because my wall-mounted plasma TV is located too far from my PS Audio line conditioner, I must use an extension cord between the conditioner and the TVs stock power cord. Currently, I am using a hea... | |

| Whose got best class D at this point? Most experts agree that the perfection of Class D is a thing of the future (by true "high-end" definition/standards). With that said, I am very satisfied with the performance of the PS Audio GCC-250. It is VERY quit and to my ears is a definite im... | |
| Pioneer vs. Panasonic plasma Pioneer is acknowledged as the best in the industry. If your budget will allow, go for it. My budget would not allow me to go the pioneer route, so I opted for Panasonic and I am very satisfied - great picture. I agree that plasma offers the best ... | |
| Pink Floyd's Pulse DVD finally OnemugThanks. I agree. I got it today. It certainly is a must have dvd. The only thing that frustrates me is the "additional (and unnecessary) imagery." For example, during one of Gilmour's best solos (Comfortably Numb) the camera shots are of the... |
