The Best Inexpensive Wines Available Now
Sorry Guys:The Robert Shaw cab I referred to is sold out @ our local retailers. It was the 2000 vintage and I can only assume that CDunn is referring to the 2001 (the 2000 was not "lacking" anything for an under $10 cab). Can't recall the Chard vi... 
which audio rack?
Hey Opp, you still there?Check out the Studio Tech Performance Series. If the 4 shelf version has the same features as the 6 shelf then it has adjustable upturned brass spike supports for "all" 4 shelves.I have been using their older PA series (sa... 
What Lacquers have been used on cables with succes
Abex:If you have any luck with lacquer + carbon you might then research violin/wooden instrument lacquer. Some of the highly rated ones are not that expensive (under $20/pint).There is also a great deal of tweaky info on lacquer/varnish in some of...

Fran:I doubt if I could ave Ack'd any better (it was a damned good Ack, if there is such a thing), with both me neck and me lower back as well supported as they could be considering the circumstances.Cut me some slack.

The Best Inexpensive Wines Available Now
The best value in table wine (currently available) is probably the Cab and Chard on the Charles Shaw label ($2-$5/bottle depending on the retailer). The ex-wine buyer, for a company I no longer work for, helped to develop the current bottlings/off...

Psychic:I Acked last night, but I'll spare you the details. 
What Lacquers have been used on cables with succes
Abe:If you are just looking to seal the ends and the solder joints pick up a small bottle of Q-Dope @ an electronics shop. A 3" tall bottle should be under $3. It's a liquid "poly" plastic, I think (can't find my bottle to confirm type).I use elec... 
RU recording LPs on Reel to Reel ?
While we are @ it are there any brands of tape that are considered to be of higher quality?Good sources for pre-recorded tapes (LA area) are the county library book sales. Though they have not been rotated many look to have never been checked out ... 
RU recording LPs on Reel to Reel ?
Dennis:5-10 years makes DAT comparable to CDR's (based on what I have read to date).For archival purposes I would guess that the LP is first (by a long shot) and then is followed by quality magnetic tape (based on sane but still non commercial sto... 
RU recording LPs on Reel to Reel ?
Hi Dennis:Reel to reel "can" end up being an expensive venture, but it's cool looking and sounds great if done correctly. For quality sound you need to record @ high speed, which uses up lots of tape.Another consideration is either finding the dec... 
What LP shows what analog can do?
I have not read the above responses (maybe this was already mentioned), but most any decent 45 rpm LP should do the trick, just find one with music you enjoy.I have to increase anti-skaing a notch when I play them, but as my A-S is a hang weight o... 
hardwood floors and spikes
Meech & Herman:Yes, sharp spikes will go through pennies (often within a matter of a few months).A friend of mine ended up using the pop out slugs from electrical boxes which were scattered throughout the house following a re-wire (two per spi... 
Which cables go with what?????
Abe:Hmm, gender VS attractiveness is generally not an issue with heterosexual men/women (rolling of the eyes).I think the photos viewed were from a Hifi show (can't remember the event off hand).Anyway, I was just kidding about "it" bugging me. 
Which cables go with what?????
RCH:Regardless of what/any intent Steve had in regard to starting this thread, I will say that his premise is an odd one (this not being the first time he has wierded me out, nor hopefully will it be the last).I can't imagine seriously discussing ...
