Who else can't sleep the night before their fancy new gears arrive?
@samureyex  I'm nodding off just reading your reference to "Exploring Quantum History".  I'm brewing some coffee as we speak.  Got a lot of day left.   Those "universe stuffs" programs can be a bit of a mine field.  While mostly calm (read: bori... 
Is a home theater even worth it or doable?
@kota1 Yes, I’ve been too lazy to get my system profile(s) up (5 total). Sorry. My HT set up is essentially at Kaleidescape-based system with big Marantz receiver, B&W’s all around (ATMOs) and Sunfire sub. This is what I settled for after re...

Premium Power Cable Survey: The Results Are IN
"Other" responses to the question: "If you have NOT purchased a premium power cable, what is holding you back? "The Romex in my walls, as well as the miles of wire to the power station, are not premium." " make my own. I borrowed Nordost Tyr 2 p...

Premium Power Cable Survey: The Results Are IN
@acman3 @blisshifi You're welcome.  Glad you found it to be of value to you. @audphile1 I think surveys can be of value to the group. Maybe a survey to determine top areas of interest.  Then, a pre-survey to determine most relevant questions.  1 ...
