Seeking Opinions on Stealth speaker wire
I do not have an answer on this cable but I am wondering about the cable that Mapleshade makes called the Double-Helix, does anyone have any info. on this? It is recommended to not biwire this cable but to use their jumper in conjunction. thanks,

Cleaning Vinyl
While I agree with most of the comments I have been mixing my own cleaning fliud and it seems to work the best. It has just enough lab grade alcohol and a surfactant that it takes out all of the syubborn grime. I had heard that Kodak Photo flush i...
