| audiophiles get mention in today's WSJournal Nowhere was it mentioned if the gear used was broken in. How long were the pieces used?

| Affordable Power Cords I was fortunate to receive a free Virtual Dynamics Power 3 power cord from Rick, and the folks at VD. I've had it in the system for a short time, but have already noticed some very nice changes. The overall sound quality has been lifted to another... | |

Packager used quite a bit of the smaller bubble wrap, along with pieces of large styrofoam around the outer edges. The box (one box per unit) w... | |

| What time do you wear? An antique Hamilton 992 in my pocket with a 14K gold chain that resembles an anchor chain. Been wanting a chain like that since I got out of the Navy in '79, and just found one of excellent quality a couple months ago. www.seawear.com | |
| What's the deal with the Machina Dynamica Clock? Hey Freemand, I was wondering what brand components are in the system you did your testing with, just out of curiosity. Did you try it with a cd's and with LP's, or just one or the other? Thanks. | |
