| Installing huge tv with drywall lifter ? One thing - before it is put up run a heavy duty string through the cable holes in the wall - and leave it there for future use. This way I was able to easily add a cable later without taking the 82" off the wall. | |

My first beer sample when young - I HATED it and didn't start drinking for many years after. Then I made up for lost time and then stopped drinking 8 years ago. Hav... | |

| Steve Morse pays tribute to Jeff beck @stuartk Yes, thank you for that. I met him (Steve) a while back and he was just as gracious as I expected. Gotta love the Dixie Dregs! | |
| All speakers have a little EQ built in mbmi "I have a 30K rig and use a $150 Schiit Loki Mini....why, Because I like to tweak bad recordings . Don't put it down until you actually try one." I started with a Mini, it is now in the garage system. The middle one is in the H... |
