I meant the show, but I guess pictures of the city might be nice too :-) "Line the walls, floor to ceiling, all the way ’round, with wooden boxes full of LPs" Hmmm... wonder how much that would cost. Say a room that is 14 feet by 20 feet by 8 feet tall - a good, but not too outrageously sized room. That is 4480 square feet to line the two long walls. At about 100? LPs per square foot - ignoring the width of the shelving, that is 44,800 LPs That is a lot of music. at about $3 / LP (I think thisis probably an average, large-lot price) that is about $132,000. Yep, cheaper than remodeling your listening room for many people (us :-( ). And, uh, more musical too :-) And inspriing to look at. I Don't THINK I made any miscalculations....I should go see how much space 100 LPs does take up..... Take care, Dave, Mike. Hi Dave,

Of course, I'm biased. Audio Note speakers are designed to be placed in corners, giving you a big chunk of your room back, making POSLQ's very happy in the process. Exotic power cords do *change* the sound of AN electronics, but of the many people I've met who go through all kinds of excursions with these things, all have returned to garden variety cords. (I have heard other electronics that seemed to benefit from exotic power cords, but not ours . . .) Peter Q's stock answer to the question "How should I treat my listening room?" is, "Line the walls, floor to ceiling, all the way 'round, with wooden boxes full of LPs. That's what I do. Sounds very nice." Going to the London Sound 'n Vision Show at the Park Inn at Heathrow today, then home. See you guys in a month at RMAF!
