Yah I like my job too, there aren't many places I'd rather be. Except tomorrow is my hell day. Stupid upgrade that I know is gonna fail, but I'm required to install it.
Stop with recommending practicality. Do the vinotemp with the beads, or even a computer controlled humistat. DEW EET.
I can tell you good places to get good prices on some cigars, too, if you'd like.
It won't be too big for long, you're obsessive , plus it's only $250 ish for the vinotemp, and another couple hundred for the spanish cedar shelves, so it's a LOT cheaper than a comparable humidor.

some do (that's how redwine got his start)
There's also power regenerators, which do have a chance of making things better.
I think mostly, the idea is to have gear with good power supplies, then cables don't matter so much.
I convert everything to alac when I add it to my library, so that's not a problem. It's not like there's bit rot in a conversion. And I rip my own cds a lot more than I buy flacs...
Besides, there are lots of music playing apps on mac that play all the formats. And plugins to let itunes play most...
I like all kinds of stuff, I was trying to be funny. When I listen to rap lately, it's blackalicious, talib, mos def, gang starr, k'naan, and noel zancanela.
And eric b and rakim
The reason that's true is that short cables aren't as prone to introduce noise, which is the only way cables can make a difference for power.
100 miles of aluminum wire to your breaker panel from the power plant. 200 ft of romex from the breaker box to your outlet. 2 ft of anything from the outlet to your gear...
Btw, Vicki's gonna start banning people if other people who own these things don't start posting impressions. I'm trying to talk her out of it, but you know how she can get.
