| Dedicated power Do a search on line for this article by Vince Galbo: How to Wire Your House for Good Power -MLB Technology. It has all the answers and explanations you are looking for. It’s very good. | |
| Audio Lessons Learned - post your best advice for the newer members! John McDonald of Audience once told me that “the power IS the music”. Took me a while to understand what he was talking about.

With the works of dr Earl Geddes, this 30% became totally attainable by the common audiophiles. With the effo... | |
| Update on Audiogon Member Almarg @douglas_schroeder Sorry for your loss. Hang in there brother. | |
| Update on Audiogon Member Almarg Listen folks, Al is not dead. Let’s keep a hopeful spirit. The Bible says God listen to the prayers of the faithful. If all of us say a prayer for Al and ask God for mercy, He will listen and Al will post again. I strongly believe this. Let’s get... | |
