Cable elevators - conventional wisdom wrong?
Ted, Precison Audio clearly states that their cable risers are coated with a non-conductive glaze vs what you described as a, "...conductive surface so that high voltage uninsulated wires do not spark..." 
Transistor Preamp that sounds like a Tube Preamp?
Geez, if a phone call turned this spat into a love fest, maybe tbg and I should get on the phone! :)
