| Best Genesis Album - your opinions please. Seconds Out also gets my vote: the dynamics on Squonk are killer and Dance On A Volcano seems almost surreal as they're finishing up. Their Chicago-Rosemount show ran almost 3 hours; the energy level in the hall was absolutely incredible as the wh... | |
| Any advantage or dis whn bolting rack to wall????? you might want to rethink the idea of bolting to a wall unless it's a solid exterior supporting wall.

| Small circulating fan to cool amps 1) DO NOT try to use the 12V trigger output as a fan power supply: they are very limited output current2) any cooling fan should be mounted so as to draw heat away from the component - not blowing air onto it | |

| soldering iron reno a 40 watt iron is likely appropriate for that job | |
| soldering iron the main item of concern is the iron's power rating, which is determined by the type of work you want to do. If you are soldering / desoldering components on a circuit board, then use a 25 watt iron with a pencil point tip shape. If you are solder... | |
| Record-playing Rituals? I had an older bottle of leftover Discwasher fluid that went moldy after awhile - fortunately so far there's been no problems like that with the RRL fluid | |
| Anyone Tried Cable Rolling? Frank you've come up with a simple, effective, & best of all free tweak (since you already had that cable on hand). Like I always say; the simplest ideas are usually the best! | |
| Musical Fidelity X-10 Tube Buffer Stage Hi CW yes you have correctly understood my suggestion; however you also correctly point out that the signal would be inline with yet another interconnect cable pair, only 'when the buffer is inline'. This may not be the best configuration - if you... |
