And it seems the Newsgroups are far worse." I hadn't thought about that distinction, Mark, but you are right - mail lists are usually more civil. rec.audio.pro is useful, not completely spent on flame wars and some really knowledgeable people are there. I used to read the list devoted to Ampex tape machines. That was (is) a fascinating group - lots of diverse people and arcane info. I learned about power distribution systems and train locomotives. And tape machines. Howard Sanner (SP?), who appears here now and then, is the list's organizer. "I'm under the allusion that I'm getting much better sound now I listen to the Cable DMX Classical music all day. NO people. That's a mixed bag." As a former classical music DJ, I should be offended at that concept, but it's probably nice to listen free of all the prattle. No thinly veiled commercials or periodic begging. Does the box display info about what's being played? Cats barfing into the hi fi is a common problem. Maybe that's what tubes are really good for - too hot for kitty.
