I share your love of WW as well, and although I don't seem to be getting any project time lately, I do love music in the shop. I bought a Denon receiver and a pair of Energy speakers. I have speakers mounted upside down close to the ceiling and ge...

Fleetwood Mac
Martykl, I stand corrected, it was Peter Banks from Yes that I was thinking of. 
Fleetwood Mac
I agree with Loomisjohnson that "Future Games" was a great album and I hope that someone will re-master and release this on 180G vinyl. That was the debut of Christine McVie and just a good collection. FM is kinda like the band Yes in that they ha... 
Bi wiring with separate cables
Years ago I could only afford bulk cable, so in looking for ever elusive improvement. I ran a Naim A5/Linn K20 combo and got good results, independently they seemed lacking. The Naim delivered good bass but was lacking on the highs and the Linn ha... 
Boarding school or duct tape?
My method is when my little nieces and nephews come over is hide everything in the bedroom and lock the door and put fake cabinet doors on my cabinet. The room looks vacant but I get to vacuum where the speakers were. So far it is been OK but........

I have owned a 352 and traded it in for a 402. They are both very good amps but the 402 is markedly better than the 352. If you can buy thge 402 I would suggest that you go that direction. The 402 has a few improvements beyond the additional 50 wa...
