This process of doing this this does not leave you with a solid one piece of copper. Cutting it open will actually let them separate into multiple pieces again. If they melted and turned into one, that's what you would have, but this most likely w... 
Music Room and Floods
If things go wrong in the neighborhood, it can happen on the first floor also.[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_xblfSuBRx8&feature=related] 
are audiophiles different than non audiophiles ?
I do have a habit of checking the build quality of everything, no matter how cheap or small. I do like everything done right if possible. 
Disappointing Evening
Someone sounds like a school kid trying to impress a girl. With my middle age bulge and all, I have young girls flirt with me at the beach (lake/ocean), hotel pool, when I'm just in my swim suit. They don't know what I drive, bank account, etc. If...

Jejaudio, you sound like a preacher. Try some church organ pipes (those big ones), and let us know what happens. 
An analog question for those who record
If you do go VHS, I think some of mine wanted a video signal like mentioned above. Even a menu display from another VCR feeding something for a video source just to make the recordings. I use a Sony RCD-W500C CD recorder for convenience now. The r...

Is agency approval requred for all equipt
I guess one reason for mentioning this, an Emotiva product(CD player) has a CE mark/classification on it, but still says it must accept all RF interference that can cause undesired operation. I don't see any advantage there.

Sfstereo, still, networking and audio gear would have different guidelines. I don't quite see how you could compare them (networking and home audio) rules. The FCC is always changing its rules also, for all areas of the industry.

CE approval is usually more expensive because it requires EMI and a host of other tests like surge, esd and so on. In addition to the test costs, many test samples are needed since most of the tests are destructive so there is additional costs.For...

Anything that is remote, the receiver for the remote is always running. For me this stuff must be UL listed. My audio gear is never left on, so I don't worry to much about that stuff. A power amp, tube or solid state can get fairly hot. Vintage ge...
