Critical listening and altered states
I love this question and how it will divide the respondents into two distinct camps.  Those who use and those who don't.  I have previously mentioned the fact that "a bit" of THC greatly improves my listening experience.  That garnered some agreem... 
A Surreal Dream full of Audio Knowledge!
Twin Peaks.  Still creepy after all these years.    
Power conditioner some say yes and some say no.
I use a Furman P2400IT for a few reasons.  1. The power from the wall fluctuates between 118 - 124 volts.  2. The Fruman eliminates potential ground loops, line noise, yada yada yada.  3. Protects my system against power surges.  A friend had his ... 
Record Cleaning Machines
@millercarbon  Have to admit that sometimes you really crack me up.  Cheers.   
So I just bought a Hegel H390 and
I owned the h390 and had it paired with the Triton Reference speakers.  Was very pleased with the sound.  I found the Triton to be an excellent value. The company motto is "We make High End Affordable".  I think they retail in the $7000 range in t... 
Record Cleaning Machines
I have used the   P4875(II)-4T-NH (isonicinc.com) for a year now.  Have cleaned about 750 LPs and have been generally satisfied with the results.  While the system will accomodate 10 discs at a time, I have learned that doing 2 at a time lets me ...

How To Do You Measure the Quality of Your AC Power?
None of these people will find anything wrong, because from their point of view there is nothing wrong. Perspective is everything.  Last year I was checking the electrical in a place in Ixtapa.  Found all kinds of problems from reversed polarit... 
What speaker do you passionately want to demo?
I'd like to hear the Legacy V set up with the Wavelet system.  I have issues with having to use their control/preamp/DAC equipment as it ties up a big chunk of change but would give them the benefit of the doubt until I hear the system.   
Email Address for Robert Lee Acoustic Zen?
Their website does give a phone number.  Suggest you give them a call?   
Favorite Live Concert Recordings
Trilogy - Chick Corea Trio ( Christian McBride on double bass and Brian Blade on drums).  Three CD set.  Really great recording.  Big soundstage and imaging.  On the other extreme, Frank Zappa with Captain Beefheart on Bongo Fury.   
The Miller Carbon Story
Love the porcelain cable lifts.  Bought the same ones from a wholesale electrical supplier.  $12 each.  Sometimes less is more.    
A true legend has passed away! ' Set it and forget it '
Many, many years ago, I saw Ron on late night TV, pitching Hair in a Can (?).  It was a product you just sprayed on your bald spot and presto!  No one will be able to tell it's not your own hair!.  I still laugh when I think of him demonstrating. ... 
Power cord choice?
A coat hanger?  That's just too funny.  And informative.
