"simian" rock/pop songs?-a survey
Lloyd Jones' song "Trouble Monkey" off the album with the same name. BTW, this is a pretty good recording of some great blues /funk from Audioquest Music label. Not to be confused with the trunk monkey (Portland residents will get that, not sure a... 
Audiogon Abbr. Dictionary
STFU--Suitable for this, and any subsequent threads dealing with internet acronyms. It's funny. We know. You're not clever bringing it up AGAIN.

SOL if captive power cord?
If you have to drill out the cable hole for a hard wired PC instead of an IEC it's no big deal, just don't use a regular bit. Use a step bit (Unibit) or in a pinch a hole chamfering bit (works great on thinner metals). Neither will suddenly break ... 
SOL if captive power cord?

Mysterious hum in system...
There are a ton of $100 boxes out there that IMHO do not work any better than a $5 device available from Xantech. The part you want is a Xantech 634-00. Call a local custom install shop or a retailer that does some custom and ask them if they've g... 
RC-5 adapter to 12v Trigger?
So, you are trying to get your preamp to tell your amp to turn on using an RC-5 jack on the preamp? I'm gonna need manufacturer names and model numbers. BUT, if the preamp has an RC-5 in and an RC-5 out jack, those are only passing the IR remote c...
