Whatjd-How about all three at the same time? I am talented I can multi-task :) If one can actually call any of those three a "task" more like multi-pleasure-Hey I think I have the idea for my next film! 
Which CDs to test a component?
I agree with Chelillingworth I always use things that are famaliar to me, ie things I have been listening to lately. I tend to use male and female vocals, we hear them all day long and any inaccuracy is easily heard, nothing is more ear piercing t...

Kelly-You should get a hold of John(uses the moniker jtinn, here) he is super helpful with this sort of stuff(he sells shunayta among other gear), I am sure he can give you some sort of answer, you may already know him. Any reason in particular yo... 
Anyone compare outlets?
There has been many threads on this in the past, try doing a search. I believe folks are tossed up between the Leviton and Hubbel, some swear by their Hubbel some swear by their Leviton. I personally use Leviton but would like to try the Jena Labs...

Though no my cup of tea, I think Killerpiglet is onto something, "gold panama red mkII, is far smoother sounding in the upper midrange then the silver panama red mkII, well worth the upgrade IMO". I can only imagine how out of hand it would get, t...

Nilthepill- Who is this Giana fellow any way, is he related to that Giorgio dude, I don't know but you can take it all for $15, as long as you take all of that Ermengildo crap too, who are these people? Dolce & Banana? LOL ;) 
Got a melody running around in your head?
You now Melody too, she cheated on me with a girl named Chastity, or was it Faith, I can't keep track anymore :)But I keep singing "love" by Paul Simon and " '64 Dodge" by Greg Brown, very queitly- I don't even hear it sometimes though I know its ...

Bourbon, served neat- this week I have Evan Williams 18 in the decanter, very enjoyable. I used to be into Martini's but then they became more important to me then the music, so they had to go. I find most all lagers to be insipid, but I enjoy a g...
