Audiophilism is a hobby
I’m just curious.  How do you define “rhythm and pace?” I was wondering about that as well.  
A stupid question(s) about power cords
I can do that, @audphile1  .  I guess  I was more interested in it's effect on the front end due to being based upon what the salesman from MD told me (when he was no doubt trying to sell a power cord as well as the CDP).   And I had been wanting... 
Surge protector
The discussion on this got me to dragging my feet.  I did go to Furman's site and I do see that Sweet Water is an authorized dealer, so I think I am going to call them and order a PST-8 from them, and it will be better protection than what I have ... 
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... 
Solar flares are here, everyone unplug your dryer!
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... 
Does Every Track Sound Great on Your System?
. . . 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... 
Does Every Track Sound Great on Your System?
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... 
Solar flares are here, everyone unplug your dryer!
@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... 
Solar flares are here, everyone unplug your dryer!
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...
