Beware - FedEx Drivers are forging signatures for delivery confirmation
Well Guys, don't forget USPS!  When I bought My Pontus DAC, shipped from Singapore, a signature was required.  The weather that day was rainy sleet storm and I knew it was out for delivery.  I was doing the dishes with a window in front of me with... 
What has been a favourite moment in Audio?
My first stereo, purchased in 1973.  I had to save up for "half" the cost as my Dad provided the other half.  I was 13 then.  Radio Shack "Realistic" shelf system.  I thought it was the greatest thing in the world!  
Can you recommend Jazz for some one that doesn't like Jazz?
Larry Carlton  -  "Alone But Never Alone" About as smooth and listenable as it gets. Ebay probably has a copy, cheap. Bob James Earl Klugh grp masters collections from the early 90s have a great mix of various artists.  You can screen the trac...

ALL, Disconnected my dedicated ground rod and do not hear a difference.  I installed that rod some years ago and had different audio gear.  Maybe at that time I thought there was a difference?  Any hoo, Thanks for all the help. Lawrence From Mic...

No offense taken Jim.  I used that term.  Just having fun with this thread.   But also trying to learn something new. Is there a way to check for the ground on the water pipe without physically looking at it?

Jim,  This house was not built with an access to the crawl space, where the water supply comes up from underground.  This house is a rental, in the back yard of the main house.  My water comes from a buried steel line from the main house in their ...

Jim, Thanks for the advice> I am not an electrician.  This structure is resting on blocks and has no foundation.  Small crawl space and yes, it is possible the ground is on the steel water pipe.  All wood construction.  Two 20 amp circuits. "L...

I left much unsaid about my situation.  The home I have been living in for the last 28 years is a small cottage type structure, 20'x20' built in 1960.  The builders were NOT professional contractors by any means.  Nothing was built to current code...
