| Totally Ridiculous....Auditions on YouTube! Whether one can hear a difference in the sound quality on a YouTube is irrelevant. Without any idea of the actual quality of the sound itself, what does it matter. What if what the video reveals is the difference between mediocre sound and less... | |

| Opinions on A/C Noise Meter EMI Testers I purchase a used AM transistor radio from the 1970's. Turn it on, tune it in between stations and hold it close to whatever you are worried about as a potential source of problems. The bigger the problem, the more static you hear. Cost me $10,... | |
| Classical music newbie needs your suggestions Don't be too hasty in discarding the opera. I was of the same opinion regarding classical music versus opera and now I listen to opera exclusively. @thomas_vick Is correct. Start with Puccini and enjoy the ride. | |
| After fifty years… amazing. What high end audio can be. Congratulations on your happy landing after what was no doubt, a long and interesting journey. That you achieved all of this, despite the handicap of using round copper is truly amazing. | |
