Wood blocks underneath components?? snake oil?
You guys are putting me on, right? 
AC cord polarity?? Does it matter???????
Jea48, thanks for straightening me out. The author is Donald Zipse, and Mr. Holt reproduces the article. I should have been more careful.I agree with your point about each neighborhood being on a different phase, but my point is that the net retur... 
AC cord polarity?? Does it matter???????
First, there is no such thing as "zero volts," we just agree to call something zero (the earth) and measure everything relative to it. It is completely arbitrary. Second, neutral and ground are bonded in the sevice panel and only there. Go to Home...

What's your dream digital product ?

Anyone Playing SACD/DVD-As on a PC ?
Very interesting Ghunter. The SBA 2ZS has digital outputs. The DVD-A players I have seen all have analoge out only. I wonder if this thing will play all DVD-A or just those recorded in the clear, without copy protection. Can you store them as file... 
Anyone Playing SACD/DVD-As on a PC ?
Ghunter I think you are exactly right on both counts. The CD is as user friendly as it is only because at the time of its introduction the writeable CD was not foreseen and hard drives space cost much more than a CD. The record companies thought y...
