Need to adjust the speed every time I turn on turntable

mijostyn "One fart from cleeds and the whole electrical grid will collapse."

Mijostyn I have mostly thought of cleeds as an oozing infected boil but you're observations about his incessant masturbation and farting raise the question of which is worse hear is it the foul result, consequence, and effect of his farting or is it cleeds spewing of jizz after massaging his little flesh stick that is worse?    

Okay here's another thread where obviously mijostyn and clearthink want to talk about things other than audio, so I'll exit here. I guess these guys are really amused with themselves.

Cleeds, As I recall, from reading those very same history books, Edison promoted DC electrical transmission. It was Westinghouse and Tesla, who had left Edison, who promoted AC. Edison infamously electrocuted an elephant in order to demonstrate that AC was unsafe.

Exactly. That’s what I wrote. Edison promoted the electric chair to warn about the dangers of AC. All of Edison's early electrification work was DC, such as in NYC, where he ran some of the wires himself.

Sorry for a bit of nothing, but you wrote, "AC is not safer than DC - that was Edison’s argument...."  I interpreted that to mean that Edison argued that AC was safer than DC, which we both know was not the case.  I had a feeling you merely made an error in syntax, but I just wanted to get it straight. Now I see how you meant it.
Just think: If Edison had won the point, we wouldn't need rectification in our audio equipment, but on the other hand the DC voltages available for B+ would in many cases need boosting. Also, it would have been difficult to assure that everyone got the same DCV at home.
