Solid Core Power Cord
check out the lower cost AC cords from Virtual Dynamics if you prefer a solid conductor AC cord. The Virtual's are stiff; however they do retain a set once bent to fit. Contact username Jcaudio. 925-229-2484. http://www.virtualdynamics.ca/Rest ass... 
need help choosing line condtioner
Dedicated lines for a college student in a rental situation is not a likely prospect. Go with a Chang 9900 Amp (30 amps capacity) for the PA's & then a smaller lower-curent source component unit for the rest; perhaps the Chang 6400 Iso. 
Turntable Set-up Resources - Help
George Merrill's booklet from Underground Sound "How To Set Up A Turntable" is a great resource. I'm still hunting for the URL; lost it somehow (anyone?). A very handy test LP is the HFNRR Test Record (Hi Fi News & Record Review) avail. from A...

Is e-mail system working?
Apparently emailer is working OK tonight. I just sent something which was received & acknowledged OK by the other party. 
Need advice.....Used Aragon Soundstage or EAD.....
Have never heard either of these pieces, but judging from the build quality of an Aragon pre that I tried, compared with EAD, I'd take the EAD any day without even listening. Their products are so beautifully built. 
Stay away from UPS. Never use UPS.
While I have no great love for UPS, the seller is liable for shoddy packaging & owes you a full refund + shipping. 
Is e-mail system working?
did you receive back your confirming copy? Audiogon's mailer has stalled on me before too, but they were able to "unstuck" it when notified of the problem. I did lose a sale though. 
Non-Buying Buyers-check's in the mail? Yeah Right
feedback for incompleted transactions does not belong in the system at all. Loads it up with excess trivia & makes the whole thing useless. 
Lightning Protection
Hi OnHwy61:Surge protection is a wise investment & is certainly better than prayer alone. You may have read my old postings regarding my whole house surge protection by Joslyn Electronic Systems. This is a gas tube discharge primary arrestor (... 
What is the right thing here................
You never had any problems so assume that both the woofers were good when you sold them. Now BOTH are supposedly blown out in one day? I would cover for HALF of the non-matching driver only, at best, if even that. No labor or shipping either. 
how do I convert a 12v trigger to 5v
~1k-ohm series resistor & a 5V Zener diode to ground 
Amplifiers either work or they don't work. But
this phenomenon could be experienced within either device mentioned. I suspect you're talking about tubed equipment, where small degradations vs. time occur within tubes & is not noticed until it becomes more pronounced. 
difference between chang lightspeed MK1 and MK2
Hi Musicmann: I can somewhat explain the difference in the Chang 3200 product only. The original MKI has what they call a "quad filter" for each of the 4 analog outlets; the 2 digital outlets are not filtered, but they are still protected by the i... 
Getting a accurate db reading OUTSIDE
Just slip a piece of microphone windscreen foam over the input mike.
