Considering that the apartment is quite big, no not too bad, and since I only spend about $1500 a year on audiophile stuff, I can manage for now. It's actually $375 average monthly electric bill.

I wish I were, grislybutter, just living somewhere in New England. Heating is electric as well. Everything is quite expensive here, anyway. So, audiophile equipment is relatively cheap. This is a weak consolation, I know.

Yeah, we waist much more. That electrical bill should be at least half of that, but there is no competition or effective government regulation. Many people just collect money not earn it. This dealer may not be the best there is but he does offer ... 
Anyone compared Purist Dominus Rev B Ferox and Purist Neptune Luminist power cords ?
garebear, you are right, I hear things too, and read them. Double negatives is just one example.

Well, what makes you think we are not familiar with Middle Eastern, Indian and others instruments ? None of those by themselves exactly blow my mind. The overall most impressive instrument is still human voice followed by, I think, piano. I like...

I would want to audition exactly the amp I was considering buying. No exceptions. And 30 watts and 60 watts might sound very different, that's double the power. As for paying $300, it might be worth it, this would not be an issue for me.

As, I think, Nietzsche said - Without music life would be an error -. It might still be an error but perhaps less so. Dweller, this is an extremely cool machine, and it makes some music too ! Indeed, saxophone is a serious instrument. AI comin...

Once there was. What happens ?

ultrasound record cleaning machine damaged my records
No personal experience with it, but I read somewhere that you clean records using ultrasound only once, it can damage records. Sorry about what happened, this is upsetting.
