| Rant: PSA to builders, housewives, and general complaint Didn't the grid go down when it was below freezing? I have lived in Texas all my life and no the grid did not go down. They did rolling brownouts for several days and you would be without power every hour for 30 to 45 minutes. Our fireplace was w... | |

| Thoughts On Turntable Clamps And Weights I have VPI HW-40 turntable which is direct drive. It came with a very nice weight and peripheral ring. I prefer to use the Stillpoints LPI weight. It is heavy at 848grams. The HW-40 is a beast and I seem no issue with this heavy weight. I have nev... | |
| As A Youngster, What Unit Puqued Your Interest In All This? I found out that my kit amplifier was a Knight Kit. I actually found one for sale on eBay. It was sure fun building it back in the day. | |

| Cable elevators There are some ridiculously expensive cable risers out there. I made my own from some scrap butcher block that I used for my shelving. It was a fun project and they look great. Do they make a difference? If they do it is very small but it did get ... | |
| Plastic sleeves for cd's... Since most of my cd's are i jewel cases, any new ones that come in cardboard I put them in jewel cases and cut the cardboard to fit tin the case as well or at lease to show what is in there. A case of jewel cases from Amazon is cheap. | |
| McIntosh Meter I must admit I have a problem and am addicted to McIntosh meters...! The first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem.🤨 | |
| Frampton Acoustic Classics It is an expensive vinyl set as well. I tried to buy it on eBay and quit when the bidding got to $55. The cd is not much cheaper. I will keep looking. Thanks for the recommendation. | |
| McIntosh C22 (old & new) vs C2600 You cannot go wrong with the 2600. I had one for a few years and sold it for what I paid for it to get the 2700. No reason for the upgrade, just want too. | |
