@oregonpapa   No Worries. Back in the day my dad did two open hearts a day - that was tough and recovery for patients was lengthy. These days with modern techniques it is a walk in the park. 
Amps from the 1980's -- What gear holds up sonically? Reliably?
@captvideo Energy 22 are a great speaker are got mine at Bloor Radio in Toronto. Still have ’em along with a Kenwood C1 and M2

Congratulations! Major milestone. I enjoyed reading many of your posts over the years and still do. 
what to do with 1000+ CD's, many imports and live concerts
Used CD stores will buy it for nothing and then google each CD for prices and then sell those that are rare for massive mark ups - often way more than the original price.Find some friends and give them away. Don’t feed those rip off used resellers... 
Bass distortion before tweeter distortion with a monitor at high volume?
+1 sbjoeBass is very power hungry and may cause an amp to clip. A clipping amp will very quickly burn out the tweeter even at levels the tweeter could normally handle.Active speakers with separate amps for each driver will handle high SPL better.M...

Hearing is believing?........power cables.......
The equivalent of a dam is the large capacitors in a linear power supply. If big enough and filtered appropriately then the power cord only needs to be specified properly. If too small then performance will be variable depending on many factors - ... 
Hearing is believing?........power cables.......
@decibell Explain. Why yes it is quite simple. Power can be noisy and badly designed components and appliances can make the power in your home noisier (even to the point of affecting other components) Switched Mode Power Supplies are a major culpr...

Unfortunately Wind and solar don't begin to compete economically with coal. Coal is inexpensive and clean coal burning electric power stations are just as practical as clean gasoline cars with catalytic converters and both have ultra low emissions... 
High mass vs Low Mass Turntables - Sound difference?
Sorbothane is an excellent damping plastic material (another type of plastic polymer). I would agree that a heavy turntable with constrained layer damping or with sorbothane plastic footers will be an improvement on just a heavy turntable alone. N... 
High mass vs Low Mass Turntables - Sound difference?
@geoffkait   Lol. You are wrong on both counts but won't admit it. Blind to your own inflated ego. Count 1: You stalked me - anyone can  check this thread to see who started stalking who. I comment first then the stalker (you) immediately strike w... 
High mass vs Low Mass Turntables - Sound difference?
@geoffkait   I didnt do nothing. Just responded to your ignorant post that was "stalking" my initial post. 
High mass vs Low Mass Turntables - Sound difference?
@dcbingaman +1 My experience exactly. Geoffkait doesn’t seem to know what "plastic" is and that Vinyl and acrylic are forms of plastic. He clearly thinks that the  majority of light weight turntables are made from something other than plastics. Th...

Very clever - just observational comments - Flat earthers and wing nuts and engineers to stupid to see danger!Little things make little minds happy I guess. 
Hearing is believing?........power cables.......
@schubert Of course the last few feet can filter power and improve performance of SOTA equipment - no flat earth or right wing nuts deny that. However, so can the power cord and power supply in the SOTA equipment. It is reasonable to expect an imp...
