What type of solder do you use and why?
Well there is a lot of good solder here. I'll go for Rat Shack lead free stuff. I think it has a 2-3% silver content. It won't kill your brain cells (I'm biased here as I have precious few left to waste) and can be bought around the corner. I have... 
How old is too old ?....
Tom: "My systems consistently outperform many of my friend's systems who have way more $$ in their speakers than I do. How can this be?"I'll take a stab at telling you. Are you talking about your homemade Voigt/Lowthers? If you bought something li...

I'm with J1aCyclingUsed to race in the good old days and I'm still good for about 7000 miles a year all in the warmer part of the year. In the winter XC skiing is nice too. I use to golf some. It's good to have other hobbies because you quickly re... 
Sonic Relativism?
