| "Audiophile" Power Cables: The Greatest Audio Conspiracy Theory of All Time? @waytoomuchstuff This really made my day! I loved reading every word of it. Made me chuckle out loud. I bought a pair of tube amps and they didn't come with power cables so I bought a set of Pangea. I have to say when they arrived I found it com... | |

| Is Rap a valid musical form? Throw on Kids See Ghosts for a great Sonic display on your system. Also some classic Eric B and Rakim or De La Soul as another poster put out there. | |
| China built tube amps I have a vintage Dynaco ST70 still with the Dynaco tubes in it. Sweet sounds come from this little USA jewel. I also had a pair of the VTA monoblocs based on the Dynacos and man those things were awesome beasts. Swapped the Sovtek kt88 for some G... | |

| What’s your vote for the most ridiculous, overpriced, and useless tweak? I have found that what I have on for clothes can really impact my sound quality. The best solution seemed to be none. That was it doesn’t color the sound. I also then deduced if I shave my body the acoustic vibrations of my follicles would not hav... | |
| So just how much vinyl do YOU own? Currently about 3000 albums. I dive in and out of them every week or so since they are downstairs from the audio system. | |
| Best song for immediate impact when presenting or testing? I must say Planet Caravan by Pantera is a good test. You can hear palm strikes on the drums and finger slides on the guitar strings. The old standard though was always Time by Pink Floyd for the clocks and the drums. | |
| Tube info I’m running the M-125 monos and the gold lion kt88’s made them come alive. | |
| Which band IS really America's Greatest (rock & roll band)? MC5 |
