| Best container to move prized records between homes? Thanks! U-Haul Boxes either regular or heavy duty. Each record size box will hold about 100 LPs. Then then are HEAVY. I would suggest you use a pallet. You will be able to fit 12 boxes per pallet. Wrap with cling wrap and short of the truck crashing ... | |

| Those singers you enjoy,....that don't really have a great voice? Bob Dylan Neil Young David Bromberg These three don't have great voices but they are all able to put more emotion into a song than most any other singers I can think of. | |
| Why does pulling out main speakers from wall improve sound? @jumia While most posts answering your question suggest pulling your speakers several feet off the rear wall, Focal, who know something about speakers, do not ascribe to this theory. Focal uses a flexible equation to find the best speaker plac... | |
