| 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. | |
| Those rare albums that are great on first listen. About 45 years ago when I bought The Who//Who’s Next my impression was, "Wow! This is a great album from start to finish!" Elton John: Goodbye Yellow Brick Road and Don't Shoot Me I'm Only The Piano Player Fleetwood Mac/Rumors and The Eagles Ho... | |
| Surge protector @erik_squires Thank you very much for the info. What would you suggest I use as a surge protector? @rvpiano , this is what @erik_squires told me up above in this thread: Because Furman makes so many products it’s important to note w... | |
| Surge protector I have a lot of free time on my hands and I try to stay on top of the weather and when there's any hint of thunderstorms in the area I flip the system circuit breaker (used to be three but I am now all on one) off. I am thinking maybe I'll start ... | |
| A stupid question(s) about power cords My mistake on the rhodium mix up--I am more than half blind and I am also computer-retarded and I did not note that rhodium is only an available option as is gold for plating. | |
| New expensive power cord for amp and no change in sound? I’m with invalid. In my experience, a last 5ft power cord is much more important than in-wall wiring. Like a garden water hose, the nozzle only sees what it’s connected. I am not arguing about electricity because I don't know much about that su... | |
| Surge protector @rvpiano , will your homeowners cover some of the cost? And were the damaged components all that was plugged straight into the wall? |
