| Most Influential American Musician of All Time? There is no 'greatest'.There are people who define an era or particular kind of music.Analogtroll beat me to the naming of one: Woodrow Wilson (Woody) Guthrie.Then, of course there are the big-time commercial successes like Bernstien and Gershwin ... | |

So far my only experience with power cables has to do with interferance with other cables as in the "hummmm".Some cables do better than others.I did recently run 20 amp dedicated lines and this was a massive improvement over my very ancient wiring... | |
| Artists 'SELLING OUT' - can we discuss? An artist owns his music--of course he can sell it. The Beatles sold the rights to their music and now Michael Jackson owns it.My point is this: I do value certain compositions to the point that I am at times annoyed with association to a product.... | |
| PC & Dedicated Power Lines Questions Yes, I have 10 Porterports. Glad to give the advise. | |
| WAF - Wife Acceptance Factor Hmmm....Next time you get grief....Suggest she cut the...'issues'No woman in the world will trade her captive audience on her issues, for anything. | |
| Acousctic Zen Sil. Ref. II and Absolute, anyone? AZ cables, in my experience, offer the most without charging insane prices.When you pull them from the box you know right away that they are really well constructed. |
