| Hat's off to the room treatment camp. Lev, just a carpet wasn't enough, a thick pad made a noticeable difference? btw, I use a blanket to cover the tv, too. | |
| Best bourbon? Pappy Van Winkle 23-year old is the "best". I suspect those making other suggestions above have not tried it, as it costs c. $220 a bottle. | |

I use one large (for amps) and one small (for sources) isolation transformer, but they hum, some times mor... | |
