| When was the last time when serious new instrument was invented ? Pedal steel guitar, synths, electric piano, clavinet and Hammond/Leslie organ. | |
| Great song by the Clash Big Audio Dynamite's debut is actually my favorite "Clash" album. Besides, the Clash are street trash -- | |
| Great song by the Clash From "Black Market Clash" | |
| Unplugging power cords from amps/ pre amps I don't unplug anything when there's a thunderstorm. Does anyone unplug all the electronics in their house -- the well pump, HVAC, fridge, microwave, washer/dryer, etc...? A direct hit, well If you're really unlucky, then you're really unlucky a... | |
| Leaving tube amps on. If high power tube amplifiers are as hazardous as outlined in several post above, then how come they are not banned in the state of California? Worrying about tube seems a little strange. You knowingly purchased and expensive amplifier with a la... | |
| Solar flares are here, everyone unplug your dryer! The book makers in Vegas wager that he's a bot. Last I looked the odds were 25 or 6 to 4. | |

| Should we care if a piece of equipment comes from a pet-free, kid-free, smoke-free home? As an elite eastern university graduate I was taught to banish ignorance with reason. Alas, I have found that open discussion only makes some wrap their ignorance more tightly around themselves. Extremism in the defense of extremism is a vice. | |
| Listening position/speaker position I think it was Audio Physics that recommended a similar loudspeaker/listener setup. Have the loudspeakers along the long axis of the room spaced widely apart with the listener within a foot of the rear wall. It was offered to maximize image widt... | |
| Songs that reference audio equipment "with a bamboo needle on a shellac of Chopin" -- Elvis Costello "it's even better this time around with Coltrane on the KLH" -- Donald Fagen "War at 33 1/3 not really live I rather do it at 45" -- Public Enemy | |
| Records not stored vertically for decades You're making this way more complicated than need be. Simply turn them over and let them sit for another few decades. | |
| If you have a nice system why do you really need room treatments? If you listen in the near field at low to moderate volume and your loudspeakers don't produce deep bass, then you don't really need room acoustic treatments. Otherwise you probably would benefit from some form of acoustic treatment. However, the... |
