| Help me understand John Coltrane .... seriously. Maybe he is just not your cup of tea Eric. Just because he is renowned and influential does not mean everybody loves his music.I agree that most Coltrane is not an easy listen. Lot’s of other jazz for that. | |

| Love it when it snows There used to be an affordable system in place for the downtrodden and mentally ill people. The great depression dictated the need. Now there is none.Hopefully those more fortunate in life never have to walk in the shoes of those less fortunate. S... | |
| Does raising speaker cables off the floor really make a big difference? I wouldn’t worry about it in most cases.However isolating signal wires from power cord runs and power cords from each other is usually a good idea no matter how that is achieved. | |
