Racoon fried my Monster AC Powerstation
I love the humor on this site! You folks are a gas! Tobias, sounds like we had the same problem. Did your main breakers trip? Was trying to think of a way to test the breakers without going through alot of trouble, but if your breakers didn't tri... 
Review: Virtual Dynamics Power 3 - Sixth Anniversary Edition Power cord
My new Power 3 yielded the same positive results in soundstage, and, as in Tboooe's post, an enveloping of the music around me, with a more defined sound from top to bottom. Everything sounds so much closer to being right there at the performance....

Affordable Power Cords
My system sounds so much better with the free VD Power 3 cable I received, I decided to try a set of VD David IC's that were for sale here on A'gon. I put them between the CDP and the preamp, and they made the Speltz Anti-IC's sound like filters. ...

How did you get into vinyl?
In the early '70's, one of my friends had a nice system, and a couple thousand Lp's, and we would sit and listen to one after another. We were still in high school, so he was doing rather well for being just a kid. His nice system included a Maran...
