Cost effective power cables recommendations, low and high power
@ghdprentice "Also, and for the life of me, I do not know why… but the character of an interconnect tends to be the same as the character of a power cord. Why they would sound similar is completely beyond me. This is just a casual observation by... 
Does Anyone Else Member the Golden Age of Audio Insults and Product Degradation?
@boothroyd  Thanks for the comment.  I remember NEC and they never moved the needle very far on my "cool stuff" meter.  Not Electronically Competent in my opinion.  
Who is Gonna Buy A New Jeep Grand Wagoneer For the MacIntosh Stereo?
@erik_squires "music you can listen to for hours isn’t high on the list of qualities they pay attention to." Agreed. This is not unique to mobile audio, but products targeting the "mass market" (which includes luxury car market) in general. The... 
Who is Gonna Buy A New Jeep Grand Wagoneer For the MacIntosh Stereo?
80 pounds of Dynamat will do wonders for the noise floor in most vehicles and exponentially increase your enjoyment of the audio system. While an extra 36 kilos of extra weight might be like chalk on a blackboard to sports car enthusiasts, the ext... 
Who is Gonna Buy A New Jeep Grand Wagoneer For the MacIntosh Stereo?
I’m coming from a different direction here. I thnk the folks at Jeep know that that brand of awareness of McIntosh among their target customers doesn’t move the needle. Nor does Mark Levinson, Meridan, etc. with other luxury brands. It allows the ...

People who have reached the pinnacle of being wealthy and famous often have an expanded, and oftentimes overinflated, view of their impact on the world outside of their profession. They also have the choice of being "uniters" or "dividers". While ... 
Sad songs- We love them- We need them
@tooblue My sincere condolences. I lost my son in 1994.  Our song was Mona, by Quicksilver Messenger Service.  I'd drive him to school every day, and start this song when we pulled out of the driveway.  Mona has a very long instrumental lead in a...
