| Female vocalist recommendations By far my favorite female singer is Eva Cassidy. It is so sad that she passed away at age 33 in 1996. I have all of her published albums. | |
| Investigating if ultrasound is harming LPs At my age it was taking too long to read the entire thing but I guess it is ok to keep using my ultrasonic cleaner. Most record only need one cleaning. The US machine was the best investment I have made for enjoying vinyl. | |

| Do I need 10 gauge power cord if I have 10 gauge from panel? I should have added that every circuit in my home is 20 amp. It was built that way and not something I did as we bought it from the original owners. | |

I made mine custom length to each component. I bought cable covering from Amazon and some shrink tubing for the ends. It... | |
| Buying Pet Peeve - Pictures In the past I would take photos with a digital SLR and flash for whatever I was selling. It would require some post processing to get them right. Now I use my iPhone which takes very detailed photos and no flash needed. It really makes it easy to ... | |
| What is the current retail cost of your reference system? I am around $80,000 plus about $4,500 for cables. I spent $3,000 for the components to build my rack system and media cabinets myself. | |
