Re: PS Audio Power Ports
Yeah. It all makes sense now. 
these are necessary, but a slip fit banana plug vs bare wire clamped down to a binding post is flawed logic?? You contradict yourself sir.

Re: What did you do to your stereo rig today?
Today I replaced the 2A3 amp for a pair of Shanling SP-80 EL34 mono blocks. I sold these to a friend years ago. Today they found their way back home.

Re: Post a picture.....any picture...part deux...
Which reminds me - If you encase your ex in concrete shoes and she floats, it proves she's a witch. Even though everyone already knows she's a witch, sometimes we need to test these things. It's understandable, and you'll be exonerated in most courts of law, if... well, if, on the off chance, she doesn't float.

Re: Which banana plug are suitable for polk speaker E15
Please, tell us how adding another connection at each end of the wire will help. Have you ever even bothered to measure the resistance created when you add your beloved banana plugs? The difference is typically negligible, but is measurable with even a basic quality dvom like a fluke 87. It's not flawed logic, it's fact
But hey what do I know about an ac circuit? Only been an active maintenance technician troubleshooting shorts, and so much more for over 20 years now
It's fine to state you feel my logic is flawed, but when you back it up with nothing (probably to justify the snake oil interconnect you paid %20 of total system cost on) where is your fact based scientific research and data to prove it sir? It doesn't exist, plenty of data showing how connections, particularly poor connections, can and do cause electric signal degradation. Audio output is nothing more than a bunch of ac voltage at various hz. Anytime you put a break in the line and add a connection the signal is degraded. Period.

Re: Adding remote control capability to my 2 channel rig
Apparently, it has an automatic loudness compensation that increases as the volume deceases. This seems to create a bass heavy sound signature.
Depending on a number of factors it may be possible to install a remote controlled motorized volume potentiometer. I did it with a vintage integrated amp.

Re: Coffee
If you are going to spend more than $15/lb of coffee, you should be grinding it fresh and making it with a high quality method.
One caveat, perhaps: with a decent espresso machine, pre-ground Illy for espresso machines will always be better IMO than freshly ground with the average grinder, or blade grinder, that the average kitchen provides.
A blade grinder should not even be considered a coffee grinder IMO. They are barely good enough for spices.
I should have included "a good quality grinder" as well.
By that, I mean and adjustable conical burr grinder. My Encore will do espresso grind to my satisfaction. I had a couple others that worked well, but I stuck with Baratza for parts availability.

Re: Coffee
Well seeing how your average kitchen grinder will never ever get nearly fine enough for espresso, no ****,
I bet you’d find high quality fresh ground coffee beans out of a crappy coffee maker will be better than **** coffee out of a nice machine.
There’s a reason my grinder cost more than my espresso machine, the grind is so incredibly important

Re: Death Wish. Coffee Co.
Starbucks knowingly buys coffee from plantations with slave labor. That's pretty metal right?

Calm down, SJW's, I'm just joking around.
