| 11 Amps, 1 TV, 3 Components...1 Receptacle Help Kal is right. You can have a whole house surge protection unit installed by your electrician or possibly even by your power provider. Here in Cincinnati, Duke Energy offers whole house protection. I think it is installed outside the house at the m... | |
| Ipod Dock with direct out????? I saw the Wadia at the AKFest in May. It's the real deal. I believe it is the only iPod dock on the market that takes a digital signal directly off of the iPod without the need to mod/deface the iPod. If you rip your music to iTunes in a lossless ... | |

| Remasters: which are the good ones? Nas and Ludimagis,The 95 MCA version is also the one I own. I agree that it is good, if not great. Way better than the 1984 original CD I also own.....TIC | |
