Does Every Track Sound Great on Your System?
Thanks, @toddalin  , come to think of it, I do remember losing a bidding contest on ebay for that SACD remaster.  I am afraid that I am a tad OCD, and at the time I saw that, I thought it would be nice to have a "audiophile" copy of Yellow Brick R... 
Solar flares are here, everyone unplug your dryer!
Hey, @grislybutter  ,  that was a genuine question.  @asvjerry  seems to feel that: Welcome to a Public Forum. No Cover~No Minimum/Maximum Don't like? Don't remain. and I just want to find out whether or not he feels that ALL non-audio point...

Well . . . @asvjerry I guess *R* your blinding hatred of//// . . . *x* . . . me has turned you into a stupid idiot who is also a . . .  *d* . . . child who trolls me . . . and from now on . . . the burden of truth is to *b* or not to be . . . so ... 
A stupid question(s) about power cords
Thanks, @mrdecibel  , I was going to get back with you later on today and see what your opinion of that was.  As I typed a bit previously, I opted for gold plated as if I could get a bit more warmth going, I'd be happy.  So that settles it, I gues...

. . . oh, and as far as Funeral For A Friend, @toddalin  , I usually listen after I eat, around  7 or 8 pm or so, so while I am preparing dinner I have the tubes warming up, and then as I am eating I have my system playing some background at a low...

So who released the 30th anniversary edition, @toddalin  ?  (Just curious is all.) And no, both of my remastered Yellow Brick Roads are single discs (76 minutes long, I believe) and do not include any bonus tracks.  No acoustic Norma Jean.  My on... 
Surge protector
@jea48  , sorry if it seems as if I am beating this circuit breaker thing to death, but am I correct in assuming that the type of surge that the OP of this thread probably experienced would NOT have been one that would have jumped across a tripped... 
A stupid question(s) about power cords
@audphile1 , it is installed connecting my SA10 to the grid and I put 3.5 hours on it tonight.  (in truth, I unplugged my system after I finished up this evening, so is not presently connected.)   I am starting out dabbling my toes in the water wi... 
Best Covers
Covers of Springsteen's stuff that I like (I may have mentioned some of them, but they are so good they are worth mentioning twice) :   Steve Earle did an interesting cover of Mr. State Trooper and The Cowboy Junkies did a neat cover of it as well...

@immatthewj @laoman well, I am idealistic and naive.... 😊 to say the least. Those are admirable traits, @grislybutter  ; I commend you.  
Does Every Track Sound Great on Your System?
@toddalin  , that is not the one I have--my SACD Yellow Brick Road is the SHM single layer.  (tonight I played what would have amounted to the first of two LPs) and maybe it sounded better than the old MFSL red book/maybe it didn't.; it didn't blo...

The 1859 Carrington Event knocked out the world-wide telegraph system. The cause was a particularly intense solar storm. Pray that such an intense storm doesn't happen as today's electrical grid remains vulnerable! Just go to Texas, @jasonbourn...

I I have a lot of CDs and several SACDs,, and the SQ I hear from them ranges from poor to "I like it" to mind blowingly excellent.    
Does Every Track Sound Great on Your System?
Poor recordings sound gritty and raw like they were supposed to I guess.   But they still are enjoyable.    I agree with you that oor recordings sound gritty and raw (the vibe I was getting the other night was bright, shrill and compressed) but... 
If you have a nice system why do you really need room treatments?
Treatments consist of corner base traps extending up to the ceiling, a couple absorption panels throughout the room, a 20 x 20 thick wool rug and an assortment of furniture. So I guess treating a room with acoustical panels Will provide a bene...
