Experience with Argent Room Lens
I'll check that out; I am legendary for my un-handiness but I might be able to recruit my brother in law.KP 
Experience with Argent Room Lens
Sgr, thank you for the reply. I contacted Argent, but it seems the room lenses are not currently in production.KP 
Do You Remember Your First CD Player?
It was 1985, somewhere around that time, plusr or minus one year.I was going to college and had little disposable income.A local radio station had this promo where they'd read out a number combination that you needed to find in a dollar bill. I ha... 
IC advice needed
Sean, I think technically that would be Dr. Howard, Dr. Fine, and Dr. Howard.KP 
Which CD side to touch the plastic sleeve?
I agree with Clbeans.I had a cd-storage thingie in the car a few years ago. You know, the kind that goes over your visor. In the heat, it reacted with the cd's and ruined each and everyone of them.KP 
Funniest sales pitch
I saw an ad a while back that actually used the term "well endowed audiophile" for pushing some hyper-expensive (probably bobonium based) stuff.KP 
How to
Well, I meant my opinion and (clearly) very poor choice of words were free (did I mention our No Refunds Policy?). Not your checklist but the tried-over-tried audio babble checklists that are flung about to describe equipment.OK, I'll try again.Th... 
How to
Try an Ack!Dack.It doesn't score high in the "audio checklist" stuff, but it does get a lot "right." Not etched at all; keeps the music "together." OK, not the best description in the world. But it was free, and maybe even worth every penny. I'll ...

Rogue Audio M-120 vs M-150
Brad,I got them yesterday.I wish I could make a true comparison of before and after, but I made a major change while the amps where gone by adding a wonderful Audio Note DAC.Like yours, mine came with EH6550's, instead of the KT88's I expected. I ... 
Rogue Audio M-120 vs M-150
Brad,thank you for the excellent follow-up.I'm expecting (hey, do I look radiant or what?) the amps back soon. They've been gone for three weeks.It'd be interesting to see how the KT88's match against the JAN GE 6550A's.I'd also like to try some e... 
Power Cords Snake Oil ??
Well, you missed the Pebbles post, which explained it all.It had some... disturbing images presented to the mind's eye. (To clarify, there was much tongue in cheek humor involved, and it has carried over to other posts. Whose tongue and whose chee... 
Power Cords Snake Oil ??
Ed or Edna? Ah, Ed Wood is alive an well, and he is Viggen! Ah, if only he had used the shells as tweaking tools, and not as garments in a bizarre version of the dance of the seven veils. How quickly we forget the pebble encrusted strip tease, and... 
Power Cords Snake Oil ??
scantily clad, redhaired nymphetWhat? Not Viggen? He will be crushed (ah, or are you actually reffering to Viggen?).Anyway, everyone knows canned worms aren't the best. If you like canned worms you must have atrophied taste buds.If you must store ...
