About Lugnut -- Patrick Malone
Has it been that long?!I thought about him a lot during this election season. GOP. Grand Ol' Pat!I think he found out how sick he really was just before Christmas time 2004.Definitely not the same without Pat. 
Who needs power cables anyway?

What makes for a GOOD turntable.
I've been reading threads like this today, and while I haven't listened to vinyl since the early '80s, all this talk has got me thinking of putting together a cheap rig like the old Pioneers being mentioned or even an entry level Technics SLBD20D....

Grimace,I stopped reading TAS a few years ago, but I think you've just given me a great reason for going back. Heheh.I better hurry. I've been waiting for CDs and DVDs to get rounder also, but it looks like in a few years we won't be using them.

External CD-rom players

External DAC vs. your quality processor
Awhile ago, I decided I didn't like the sound of SS processors for music. Since then, I discovered I like non-OS DACs or tube DACs, neither of which would make sense in an HT pre/pro.It does seem like HT processors these days have become better at... 
Subwoofer cable vs Analogue cable
I've often wondered about this myself.Since there shouldn't really be any difference in the cable design itself, the only thing I can surmise is that the manufacturer is using cheaper cables and labeling them as subwoofer cables. 
Reclaim sound from the past?
It sounds like you had that experience when equipment and room all became unified into your own personal magic.That's what makes this hobby so beautiful, yet so frustrating. 
What is your favorite material for loudspeakers?
