| It happened again tonight @rodman99999 I got married in a cathederal with the real deal pipe organ and organist. He was thrilled when I requested Bach's 'Toccata and Fugue in D minor' as the music in the middle of the ceremony. Well, he kicked our a$$eswith that performa... | |

| Are manufacturer AC cables good enough? @millercarbon " Power cords are included as a courtesy, just like patch cords. You aren't meant to actually use them. They are meant to stay wrapped in the plastic bag in the box to be passed along with the owner's manual to the next guy."Excelle... | |
| Dbx encoded discs Interestingly I ran into the few DBX records I have left. Back in the dayI would buy one and copy it to a Teac A-3340S at 15ips. It would make a perfect copy. I don't remember the model number of the DBX "compander" as they were known. But it ... | |
