| need help choosing line condtioner If you have a budget and want better sound, do dedicated outlets-you will get far better results doing this then any conditioner. The only one that I care for is the Shunyata Hydra (which is a little over budget) and it can have a very negative ef... | |
| Stay away from UPS. Never use UPS. Everyone has horror stories about all shipping companies, Fedex destroyed a Jeff Rowland amp on me once-I was pissed at the time, but it is just a tangible item; it isn't really important enough to get worked up over. Good luck with it.~Tim | |

| An unscientific poll: How often are you happy? Well my rig is about 45k(plus or minus a little) retail new, and the times it brings me joy are increasing nearly daily, ie I used to be dissapointed with my system often-knowing that it can be much better- however now it is sounding good(to me) m... | |
