Tvad, using a penny or dime is how old timers determined if it was time to buy a new set of tires. If you could see the top of the President's head you have enough tread left. If not, time to fork out the dough!

Mitch2, you're a smart man. No matter how gorgeous the woman, I'd never, ever drink her bath water.

"Knarkle" valves? I'm frightened already. But from a fashion stand point what you describe would be an ideal match for Gilbert Yeung's Preamp Purse and Pump Monoblocks.
Cable Threads on Audiogon NEVER wear out. They are always in fashion and there is at least one each week and they abound with clarity.
Mitch2, do you mean to say that you are calling my bluff? . . . 'Twas just about time someone did these days! It's amazing the kind of rubbish I am getting away with on the more frivolous threads. On the other hand. . . I thought it was a really neat idea, and I am sure careful application of Intelligent Chips and Clever Little Clocks to anyone's CDp would alleviate much of the noise caused by highly ionized Sulphur plasma in dirty AC from cole-fired power plants.
