So disappointed in today's Americana
I'm still not sure what constitutes "Americana" and I don't care much for folk music but if blues influenced music is part of that then check out Martin King out of Greenville, SC. If traditional R&B with an emphasis on the 'B' is Americana th...

@kosst : "Unfortunately"? I don't get it. Nukes don't significantly contribute to global warming and the resistance to nuclear power in the 70's by misguided environmentalists is a big part of the mess we're in now.

Well class D amps are NOT fake news. Al Gore bought 4 when he realized that his "near future" predictions were fake news. 
Speaker wiring question
@metman :"but I also used different Interconnects and am wondering if that was the reason."Never change more than one variable at a time! 
Mark Levinson - how to fix white logo paint that has peeled away?
If it is a water based paint you could also quickly wipe off any that strayed outside of the trough.Or, and I know this is going to sound weird, but find a guy who collects and paints miniature soldiers. I have a friend who does this and what he c...
