Ever Have One Of Those Evenings?
Hey, I'm always surprised by how many of us seem to be basically Libertarians or anarchists, to read some of the comments, but I get more disgusted with the Dems than I do the GOP's, because my expectations were once higher for them. Until the sys... 
Hendrix blues
I've never heard that one before, Cpdunn99, can you give details? Any recordings together? (I should say that I'm actually not a Buddy Guy fan myself, and much prefer the way Jimi plays the blues.) 
Cryo'd outlet in power conditioner?
Sorry, Maxgain - you misundertake me, though. The debate isn't for 'winning', but maybe that's why you don't get off as much on just the having of it as I do. That's cool. (And I realized your mistake was surely a typo, it just happened to be a pa... 
Ever Have One Of Those Evenings?
Y'know, when I posted this I didn't expect so many similar tales in response. Guess I must have been high on something.Stenho: Now let's hear your (completely objective, natch) review of Limbaugh & co.! :-) Actually, I'm mostly referring to th... 
Cryo'd outlet in power conditioner?
Hdm, you make an offer I can't refuse (unless the shipping costs more than the outlet is worth!). Thanks, and I'll email you later so we can take it offline. 
Cryo'd outlet in power conditioner?
Not 'not holding your own', Laxbrain, not enjoying it as much! (Spell mine right, I'll spell yours right :-)Info would be great, answers are great, questions are even better. Direct away, with my thanks. 
Ever Have One Of Those Evenings?
Gosh, looks like I have it easy. Why is it I suspect that Bose Wave and JVC rack system owners don't actually have these episodes - wasn't this dee-lux stuff supposed to be sturdier?... 
Ever Have One Of Those Evenings?
Yeah, but it don't exactly take tons of insight to figure out which way the wind blows with certain people! But hey, the bigger the mouth, the better the shoe fits. Not even Gore's gloating and Daschle's head-scratching are going to take the delic... 
Cryo'd outlet in power conditioner?
Very sharp deduction about what my Mom used to say (may she rest in peace). Since your right brain is perceptive enough to figure that one out, do me a favor and tilt your gray matter to left for a sec, just enough to realize that cryo'ing could o... 
Cryo'd outlet in power conditioner?
If cryo is really da bomb like you and others feel, I wonder when it will be that the first manufacturer goes to the trouble and expense of cryogenically treating every single internal part and piece of wire in a component that the treatment can b... 
Downgrading Help
DTM, I'm wondering what you mean when you say the BAT is "better" than the Wadia, even though you prefer the Wadia? Guess it doesn't really matter if you can't keep either though. Sorry for what you're going through - sometimes ignorance can be bl... 
Cryo'd outlet in power conditioner?
Maxgain: Of course, the true valid comparision would be to A/B two of the identical, brand new outlets, one cryo'ed and the other not, but this is unlikely to occur in many systems. While I don't take your enthusiasm or results lightly, even if I ... 
Cryo'd outlet in power conditioner?
Swampy, if it were me, I'd install just one of the wall outlets at first, so as to be able to make A/B comparsions between the regular outlet and the audiophile-approved one, before going whole hog and installing all of them. But that's just the s... 
Downgrading Help
Maybe the phenomenon you relate in your second post means that just by having had the experience, you've learned more about what to listen for in digital playback. But what I wonder is how many SACD's you own vs. CD's, and what that should mean fo... 
Please Help: Replacing tubes on ASL MG-Head
Some interesting info here - I have posted before about how I auditioned the MG Head DT last year, but wound up opting to buy the MF X-Cans v.2 instead, an OTL design I judged to be better-sounding. But that MG Head had an output transformer - I d...
