Audio s impact on enviroment
Zero population growth for Americans makes about as much sense as unilateral disarmament once did and for the same reasons. How many planned parenthood clinics do you think there are in Chiapas, or Dhaka or Kamina? What if the Salk's hadn't wanted... 
Any good and cheap CD racks?
If you or a loved one have a table saw with a dado blade you can make a great rack. Get 1x12 oak at a home supply and cut 1/2" dadoes (grooves), 1/4" deep across it leaving 1/4 or 3/8 between each pass. Now rip the board into 2- 5 1/4" by whatever...

Does "Victory At Sea" count? 
is there a great used tube for 1000??
there's a Music Reference Rm-10 and an RM-9 avaialable on this site for $650 and $900, respectively. The RM-9 is a former stereophile class b and the little RM-10, which I have is outrageous with 89db or higher speakers. 
Hospital Grade Wall Outlets
I bought a pair of power cords and a Pass and Seymour LP1 outlet from kevperro. The outlet stands above most tweaks I have tried in terms of improved imaging and cleaner, not softer, treble. The PC's made a subtle but audible improvement, the effe...

Speaker punishing bass
Another Telarc Holst Suites 1&2, Mercury re-issue 1812 Overture, etc more for dynamics than low Hz with the bronze cannon and Riverside Chapel Carillon going at it. Watch out when you start a listening session with the Eurythmics Sweet Dreams,...
