Sad songs- We love them- We need them
@cns1946 +1 "The wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" Gordon Lightfoot. I can't listen to this song without getting choaked up a little.  My wife and I spent some time in Michigan's Upper Peninsula last year.  Being there made the song even more real... 
Digital Improving All the Time?
@aewarren the Laser Prostate Center in Houston may be able help with that.  I can now chug  a couple of Big Gulps and open a pressure washing service.  
Nearly all manufacturers do not advertise/exhibit their product measurements? Why?
The 2 most important numbers when buying a piece of audio equipment: 1) Physcial dimensions.  Will it fit in my space? 2) Price.  Can I afford it? #s 3-99 present the catalyst for infinite debate, and lots of fun between friends on audio forums... 
Roger Waters Live Last Night in Glendale,AZ
Gents, I drilled down pretty deep into this in a earlier (long winded) post, but have a few additional (short) comments. The country is divided. It’s not getting better. Our common links and connections are fragile and being compromised on a dail...

Sorry if this rambles for a bit, but I am very passionate about this subject. I founded YOUniteUSA about 5 years ago. The initial goal was to identify, validate and celebrate our common links and connections. I developed the "Connections Pyramid"... 
Maybe this is the winter you build something!
@asvjerry As one industry guru said back in my early days of doing home automation: "Just because you can, doesn't mean you should."  
Maybe this is the winter you build something!
Having fun now. Thanks, Eric, for the topic. Been there. Done (and, still doing) that. I’d like to mention that there are varous levels of engagement for DIYr’s. Not everybody has access to a woodshop, or the finese to navigate their way around ... 
Why does rock concert sound suck?
@asvjerry +1 on Blue Man Group. Just might be the most fun you can legally have at home? It seems that live concerts othen involve three bands. The opener, the one in between, and the one your REALLY came to see. The producers want to see the ene... 
Power Cables - Stock vs. Budget
@gnoworyta Absolutely!! I’m also on board with the wall socket upgrade. It will benefit all devices plugged into it, so it will deliver excellent bang for the buck. As a retired dealer, we shared many "ah ha" moments with power delivery upgrad...
