Any John Hartford fans?
I'm another. Areoplane is one of my favorite LPs. 
Why not use a PC style UPS?
I just picked up one of the APC units Sugarbrie is talking about, the A15 yesterday. It replaced a Powervar and I'll not go back. I am most impressed with the performance. It has isolated filter banks for "Video" (TV & VCR), "High Current" (Am... 
musical drummers...who are they ???
Pic Withers? Hahahahahahaahah. Listen to "Making Movies, he's nowhere close to being in sync. He may have gotten better after that, but in my mind, he's a hack. 
Analog point of entry...
There are a bunch of used LP12's for pretty cheap on the "Gon right now. I love mine. It's a "hands on" TT.Also, who's this friggin' Marco or friggin' Jax2? What, the guy's got more than one friggin' name? Yeah, he's friggin' silly alright. 
electrical outlets
I also used the Levitons in my last home. Currently, I found Pass & Seymour outlets at our local Lowe's/HD competitor Menard's. They're both good. 
What is the best Frank Sinatra CD?
Even though I own the three-cd set "The Capitol Years", listening to Frank on anything but vinyl somehow seems wrong. I own many Sinatra lps and the Jobim is very good as someone else mentioned and is available new.

How to be an online curmudgeon?
What a GREAT way to start the weekend! A fun read. Thanks. 
recommendation for best low cost rca interconnect
Outlaw PCA's. You can get 3 pair for DVD-A for less than the cost for one pair of some of the other suggestions. I used them for DVD-A when I listened to that format. Well-built, continuous cast copper with locking rca's. 
who makes a good toslink cable?
Yep, I've got thoughts. I've used both the 100 nd 200. Don't bother unless you're considering that cheap glass ebay special POS. Otherwise Monster is overpriced. I hold to the VDH Optocoupler. 
who makes a good toslink cable?
Van den Hul Optocoupler. 
LCD or DLP?
I compared the Sony SXRD with the JVC D-ila (?) and the Sony was by far the better picture. I stood within inches of the screen an struggled to see any pixels. Savin' my pennies. 
Has sonic perfection been acheived?
"Has sonic perfection been achieved?"Only in the minds of some manufacturers. 
Static
I use three things to fight static with my analog system. 1. There's a Herbie's mat on my TT 2. I use an RCM and 3. There's an ultra quiet humidifier running 24/7 in the room.
