| Feeling Tweaky ^^^ Hi, Mike ...Good power cords, speaker cables and interconnects make a huge difference in audio performance. Contact Grover Huffman. He makes really good cables for not a lot of money. A friend of mine has a complete loop of Grover’s latest "Em... | |

| What was the best vintage LP you have ever found and why was it so? When I was in Junior High, I worked part-time at the old Clifton’s Cafeteria in downtown Los Angeles on Olive Street. The pay was 65 cents per hour. The minimum wage at the time was 75 cents per hour, but they deducted ten cents per hour for your ... | |
| I Think I Am Becoming An Audiophile ^^^ I can relate. As a devout jazz fan, including jazz vocals, I'm just now starting to get into classic rock. I attribute it to all of the improvements made to the system over the past three years or so. I've come to the conclusion that the bette... |
