Are You Happy?
I find 90% of my CDs to be listenable from 11pm to 5am. The figure drops down to 10% from 11am to 7pm. 
Contact Cleaner
I found an excellent contact cleaner today while shopping for some auto care stuff at Kragen autoparts. The product is called QD Electronic Cleaner manufactured by CRC. Yup, I never heard of it before either. I just picked up a $5 can out of curio... 
Stereophile looses Jonathan Scull
I never considered Scull's articles as merely product reviews. I just liked reading them. He seemed very enthused about every product he reviews, and he also seemed to have a history with every manufacturer or designer of the products he reviewed....

Hey 914, 911sc is a 160hp engine? Sorry, those cars are older than I am, so I am not too familiar with the specs. But I really appreciate the 914 for what it is. Especially the ones with the 914-6 body kit. SWEET!Only vintage car I had was an '83 ... 
Why is 2 Channel better than multi-channel?
Just giving my two cents worth..... it's hard to enjoy your music when a big tv is in front of you even if it's not turned on. Not only is the tv an eye sore, but it takes up the space that the speaker needs to "work" in. 
Who has tried Virtual Dynamics cables?

Brightness Differences Between Daytime and Evening

I think 914s are cool. Especially the one with 914-6 conversions. 
Best Speakers/ Mini monitors USED 5K
There is a Tannoy System 15mk2 on Audiogon ad. I'd swing it if I got 2200 to throw around, and if my aching knees can put these 100lbs each speakers on top of a stand. 
Am I the only one who thinks B&W is mid-fi?
I think B&W are great speakers. But I can't imagine owning one, for the same reason I won't ever own a Sony television. Both are high quality products, but I think both of these products are saturated with a "technicolor" effect. Neither of th... 
Virtual Dynamics Recall
Rick was suggesting that I get an outlet splitter and plug all the power cables directly into the wall via the splitter. He also felt modern equipments are protected by fuses and such, so a surge suppressor isn't necessary. 
Anyone auditioned Virtual Dynamics Extension cord
In my experience, the VD powercord sounds a lot better when it is directly connected to the component than being indirectly connected to the component via the PS Audio Juice Bar. 
Can I start some trouble?
I agree and disagree with darylhifi. I don't feel the "tone control" effect pertains to only the ultra-expensive cables. They are inherent in all cables of every price point. Whether the "tone control" effect is done because cable companies are tr...
