disco demolition night
I was into Disco back then and the biggest thing I remember was that alot of the guys not into disco walked alone. The guys into Disco had woman on each arm, all the way home. Funny thing is most of the dance music out today sounds a lot like DISC... 
Do you plan to buy The Beatles CD remasters?
The issue with the first few channeled stereo albums, voices on one side instruments on the other was hopefully corrected with this remaster like it was on the Love album.If not than it is not worth purchasing them especially at these prices.As fo... 
volume vs presence

Variac vs. Isolation vs. Balanced Transformer? ALL
Guys do not forget it is going to cost money just to power the coils of these items, even with no load. Also most transformers above 1kva will not like being turned off & on and can trip breakers on inrush. It is better to leave them on all th...
