The Great Cryo'd Outlet Test
Stehno: One outlet I sent to Ed only had one set of connecting screws. I'm assuming he took the outlet with both sets of screws and removed them so that both outlets are identical to you. That means that there could be some confusion with respect ... 
The Great Cryo'd Outlet Test
They are the same receptacle of course. Ed may have even inadvertently gotten them mixed up! But the cryoed unit is easily identified by something I have done to it. It will be really embarassing for us cryo fans if you can't idenifty it Stehno! M...

Ed: I thought you were going to mail them on to Stehno. If Stehno still wants to do it, that is OK by me. 
Who's the best blues harp player.
Although I am a huge Junior Wells fan (Junior was a superb vocalist as well), I'd have to give the nod overall/all around to Little Walter with respect to playing. Sugar Blue is also a superb modern day player; technically there are not many who c... 
Results of Installing "Porter Ports" in system...
Brooks, the effects of good cryoed outlets are cumulative and, yes, replacing the outlets in your conditioner will give you just as much performance boost as doing those at the wall. You are not really hearing what your system is capable of if you... 
The Great Cryo'd Outlet Test
Definitely didn't do that; one of those receptacles has been cryoed. After all this, it did get me to thinking that I may have sent two cryoed units to Ed (these were spares just sitting around as my preference is for non-plated outlets-these have... 
The Great Cryo'd Outlet Test
Stehno, there may be a problem in that both these receptacles are 15 amp versions. If you have a 20 amp male plug on your amp or Foundation cord, it will not fit the receptacle. If you have a 15 amp plug on either, you will be able to use it on yo... 
The Great Cryo'd Outlet Test
Ed: If it's easier, just send the receptacles (I certainly don't need the extension cord or boxes) to Stehno without the box that the one outlet came to you in. As you point out, anyone will have a 50% chance of identifying the cryoed versus non-c... 
Is your turntable spinning while you clamp down?
Yes, as above. 
Is your turntable spinning while you clamp down?
Do not clamp while the turntable is spinning. It will do nothing positive for your belt or motor.Clamp before you turn the table on. 
The Great Cryo'd Outlet Test
Ed: When you are finished with the receptacles, if you want to send them to Stehno for some testing, that would be OK with me as long as Stehno then forwards them back to me after he is finished.It would be interesting to see if Stehno can identif... 
The Great Cryo'd Outlet Test
Just to clarify things Ed, my suggestion regarding playing things for a few days did not have anything to do with the cryoed outlet needing to "warm up", but had more to do with the fact that your system for this test has changed, even if it is mi... 
The Great Cryo'd Outlet Test
Stehno: As the sender of the outlets, I know that #4 and #6 are not true.That being said, Ed has drawn his conclusions and so be it. One thing I do have slight problem with is that Ed, in this situation seems to be doing the listening in a re-conf... 
Bob Dylan: What do you folks thing about this?
Bob has always had a thing for the ladies as well as a strong desire to make a buck or two, at least according to one of his biographies. More power to him if he can combine the two at his age. 
Tweaking a lower end SACD player tips
When you hack off the male on the fixed cord on the Sony, the live wire should be encased in a black sheath, the neutral in a white. There will be no ground. Simply insert the black in the black (live) hole of the Marinco with the black screw, the...
