New KT150 tubes?
No...we need to wait...when 120s were thought to possibly be a threat to mankind itself and reported amp issues relative to higher heater demands were exactly zero...zero...we were cautious and...well...uh...nevermind.

I think we should demand that the title of any topic be spelled correctly...really...

Bojack gets my "best post of the week" award...agree or not, it's fabulous. I like power cord descriptions from Pangea and the like as the bombast kills me...it seems that any system without premium AC cords must sound like screaming death bats, a... 
Subwoofer's Front Firing vs. Down Firing
Bo's thoughts on woofer "speed" are based on some odd personally promoted mythology and not on actual sound or even a basic understanding of how speakers work. Otherwise he's right on!

I have a 502p with a beefy power cord of unknown provinance that somebody gave me, and it sounds great...really great, but attaining a "significant" difference from AC cables might be illusive. I've swapped some high end and less so cords in and o... 
Problem with NPR
Here's the "Touch" path: Start with the Mysqueezebox page- Internet Radio-Music-Internet Only-320KB.

New KT150 tubes?
Tubes and VU meters...I put my Squeezebox on the VU setting a lot. It makes digital seem warm and comforting. 
What direction should Hi Fi tune fuse be installed
I HATE SPELLING ERRORS...so I thank Almarg for alerting me to this one, and encourage others to be so diligent. It was supposed to be "disparate." Also, I'm a fan of interesting interior design, architecture, blah blah...(especially Blah Blah) and...

Penn & Teller did a hilarious expose' of Feng Shui fraud by having a few "experts" (they say it's a science, NOT an art) secretly filmed while applying this "science" to the same room, and all of them were utterly disperate with one even tryin... 
What direction should Hi Fi tune fuse be installed
Feng Shui is nonesense, although design of interior space is interesting anyway. My next great idea: Tiny (I mean really tiny) damping rubber bands for fuses...only $127.50 each. You want these...I know you do...come on now...
