    and a good evening to you, too!

    ;)

    Not sure if your gastric distress stems from the product or the discussion, that's all I was getting at.

    The 220v idea is great but world wide the implementation IMHO is poor

    Higher voltage fewer amps good idea. Quality of material not so much

    Speaking of irrational products, I like this one. They're honest about it. I might even invest 20 smackers in one of these to demagnetize my system.

    I have this. Can’t say it ever made any noticeable difference after playing, but it does make interesting sounds. I also ripped it so I can play it with the Lumin. If I remember I will try it again Friday.

    @mhardy6647,

    If you have a Mac around, look it up in the New Oxford American Dictionary.

    Now, I didn't look it up in the Oxford English Dictionary ["OED"].

    Maybe, it's an Americanism that won't show up in the definitive dictionary of the true mother tongue!

    ... or maybe it's like the old joke.
    Q: How do you keep a [stupid person] in suspense for a day?
    A: I don't know.
    Q: I'll tell you tomorrow.

    ahem.

    Note that I edited an offensive term for 'stupid person' out of deference to Vanilla :)

    PS there are a couple of Macs in the basement, and one upstairs.

    Oh.
    Wait.


    PS Glad you're back and posting! Your posts tend to offset mine, raising the average signal to noise ratio of the collection! :)

    Gedankenexperiment. How would this compare to a ground lifter cube, whether Quantum or Newtonian?

    Is that ground pin made of dark matter?
