| Best Covers @stuartk , ah, I misunderstood you, I was thinking you had seen that performance live. She had a great voice back then (not that she still doesn't, but it has gone through the changes). After I finally figured out whose voice it was that I was ... | |
| Surge protector NO. A high voltage lightning transient event lasts no longer than the blink of an eye, at most a few microseconds to milliseconds. For that reason a good SPD must absorb, shunt, divert, a high voltage transient to ground in a nanosecond or less. ... | |
| Surge protector @erik_squires , after years and years and years of putting it off, I think I am about ready to pull the trigger on a Furman PST-8 myself. I note that it comes with an 18 gauge power cord--is there any down side to using a heavier aftermarket po... | |
| Solid state amp vs tube amps Anyway a big difference in sound...hard to use "quality" as a measurement of a subjective essence such as sound. +1. They do sound different. "Quality" may be a subjective term. | |
| Surge protector Turning off a branch circuit breaker at an electrical panel is not the same as unplugging the equipment from the wall outlet. Distance... Take a Square D QO single pole 20 amp breaker. In the open position the two contacts are about 3/4" apart. ... | |
| Surge protector I’ve ordered the Furman PST-8 unit to protect my new subwoofers once they are installed. +1 on that, @rvpiano , I am going to be right behind you. Are you going to use the cord that comes with the PST-8, as I think it is an 18 gauge cord, or ... | |
| Surge protector @immatthewj I believe you are defeating the protection that breakers provide by tripping them. Best to unplug your mains cables from the outlets. @vinylshadow there is a comment up above by @jea48 and he actually addressed my question of w... | |
| Surge protector @immatthewj What does switching off the breakers do. Don’t you want them on so they offer protection by tripping? If you switch them off, don’t you lose their protection and allow current to flow through without impediment? @vinylshadow , I g... | |
| Best Covers It's the first ACL show from 1989 -- where her hair is blonde and she's playing with the original band. Gurf Morlix on guitar. Thanks, @stuartk . I would have loved to seen her back then. As I typed previously, it wasn't until sometime afte... | |
| Those rare albums that are great on first listen. Eric Clapton/Slowhand: and the song I would choose from that would be Next Time You See Her. | |
| Surge protector I have an Isotech unit for my amps and a few other devices. I missed that post, @rvpiano , I guess it must have worked okay. | |
| Best Covers I recall seeing Lauderdale with Lucinda Williams on her second ACL show that also featured a very young-looking Kenny Vaughan. @stuartk , I am a Lucinda fan going back to sometime in between Sweet old World and Car Wheels and I do remember Mr.... | |
| Those rare albums that are great on first listen. I also ignored posts with more than 5-6 suggestions The playlist is supposed to be collaborative so feel free to add ONE song from the album you are recommending. Oops! Sorry, @pinwa , I wasn’t paying attention to detail. I’ll come up with f... | |
| Those rare albums that are great on first listen. Going back in time again, I remember I felt that way about Jimmy Buffet: Changes In Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes and Son Of A Sailor Warren Zevon: Exciteable Boy Dire Straits: the first side of Making Movies and all of Love Over Gold and a ... | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report . . . changed my mind and did Born To Run, Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, and The Ghost Of Tom Joad. |
