Paypal Changes for 2022
Yes this a confusing topic.  Question to the CPA's.  If I sell an item at a loss over the threshold, do I need to even file the 1099-K.  If I don't need to file the 1099-K, do I need to keep documentation and in what form would that documentation ...

Advice needed on power cables, wall warts, conditioning, electrical outlet
@bogbeat  Really good suggestions above.  As mentioned I would replace your outlet(s) with something more robust.  Check your outlets for proper grounding and connection by using one of those cheap outlet testers.  Regarding power cables the sto... 
Townshend Pods - How many do I actually need per component for max effectiveness?
@gdnrbob  No I didn't play the system without the pods or footers. Randy  
Static electricity affecting sound reproduction. Please help!!
I also hate that pesky static charge in the winter.  I live in the Pacific Northwest so it's not a real problem unless we get a cold dry spell.  I have noticed two things.  There is some clothing that can cause it if you slide off your chair our c... 
Townshend Pods - How many do I actually need per component for max effectiveness?
@drack1 I have them on my tube pre amp.  For me they didn't make as much of an improvement as the speaker podiums.  That being said, I was using HRS nimbus footers on my pre amp prior to the pods so the move wasn't from nothing to the pods.  
Puritan PSM156

Not sure Rumor or Truth that Max Townshend has passed?

Townshend Pods - How many do I actually need per component for max effectiveness?
Actually Townshend recommends 4 per component. I asked the same question. With the spring system better balance is achieved with four especially with components where the weight isn’t distributed evenly.  They do have a twist adjustment for gettin...

New Boenicke Audio W11 SE Speaker Review // A New Reference !?
I heard the W8's at the last RMAF in 2019.  The sound that came out of those small floor standers was jaw dropping.  It was one of my favorite speakers at the show.  I would love to hear the W11's and I do understand they like a high current amp t...
