| 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. | |
| Zappa Recommendations ? Don't skip a Zappa disc because some tracts have vocals. Buy them on CD and use the advance button to skip what bothers you, That way you won't miss some mighty fine instrumentals. Two recommendations would be Waka/Jawaka and the fabulous Burnt... | |
| Power cord choice? That is true, but the increase in current might spike your amp draw by half an amp? You would have to be a massive amount of equipment to draw a total of 5 amps? Just saying the 15 amp service in the average home is not likely to fail. And even... | |
| Power cord choice? The 20 amp ratings relates to the total output your conditioner can supply. Not to be confused with the individual output capacity of each plugin on the back of the unit. As such, they recommend the conditioner be put on a 20 amp breaker. It re... | |
| Power cord choice? @cleeds I agree that no one test can be held up as universally true. However, that doesn't explain why there is no apparent difference in sound when the new high-end cable is put into service? How can the improvement in sound not be obvious to... | |

| Power cord choice? @isochronism Kudos to you sir for recognizing the reference of bigtwin. So few do. As I stated previously, your opinion is just as valid as mine. I only state the facts of personal experience. Upgrading cables has made little to no differenc... | |
| Power cord choice? I'm sure I'll take some heat for this post but I'll say it anyway. The power to your equipment travels miles from the source to your home. Through your main panel and walls to the final outlet. Your amp and/or power conditioners are designed to... | |
| Dedicated Circuit In theory, the running of a dedicated line to your stereo should help to eliminate "noise" created by other appliances sharing the line. TV would be a good example. Keeping in mind that both power conditioners and your amplifier are supposed to ... | |
| What are your favorite Classical LPs? Deutsche Grammophon issued a 250th anniversary, Beethoven box set containing every piece of music he composed. 118 CDs & 5 Blu Ray DVDs. I own about 200 classical LPs but find myself returning to this box set all the time. If someone has an... | |
| Everybody’s Top 5 - Vinyl @roadwhorerecords Bongo Fury ha ha . When I read that I had to pull out my copy and give it a spin. She's not quite 200 years old and still sound great. Thanks. | |
| WHAT SONG TOUCHES YOUR HEART THE MOST? "I shouted out who killed the Kennedys, when afterall, it was you and me" You either know the song or you don't. |
