    Fresh off the rack!

    Sounds great, I love Donovan but only really know the radio hits, that's a pretty good song, I wonder if I have any of his albums in my stash which I've slowly been getting out of storage.

    Thanks for listing all the equipment, as a gadget geek it's fun to see what people use. I'll admit I did recently buy real lamp cord for my new monster A/V rack, (10' x 6' x 24" D). I want to get a placement idea before I get out my 1998 Geneva Speaker Wire.
