    ANY ELECTRICIANS OUT THERE THAT CAN HELP?

    I have used the sunnetta (sp) ones with no bleed through many times with remodel led cans. I use Kasa dimmers in my house for same cans- no bleed through. I would try a different dimmer.

    significantly upgraded power!

    Looks good! I love Tripp lite gear, and it made the difference for me. I also DIYed my power cables and I'm perfectly happy with them. YMMV Good luck! Edit: I also installed industrial or hospital grade in every room in my house, those cheap ones should never be used, and always screw down the...

    What kind of water pipe should I use for this?

    I would have mentioned funny pipe(hdpe) as this is a perfect use for it. But I was unsure if it was available in OPs area. My main problem with PEX is the fittings and tools are cost prohibitive if you don't need them. Never use m copper even in people you don't like house, such crap

    What's your preferred radio station(s)?

    The two things that really drew me to vinyl......

    I don't call it inconvenience. I like something that you have to work for, gives a sense of accomplishment. I can listen to almost every lp I have digitally, but it doesn't have that tactile feel of a record. Not to mention the nostalgia of being told not to move or you'll bounce the needle;)...

    Marc Morin - Rest In Peace Our Friend

    RIP Marc. Though I never met him, he stuck me as one of the good ones. Always helpful, I have looked forward to one of his tables for a long time. Almost had one before all the craziness started, hopefully it is still available when this all settles down.

    Favorite Single Malt Scotch

    @hjames We just got some of their Pango rum before Lent and I have not opened it. Supposedly has a mango and pineapple flavor- we are mojito fanatics! We even make mockjitos around here during Lent.

    Favorite Single Malt Scotch

    Although I know most purists are about just scotch and maybe water. My brother who is a Macallan and Balvenie diehard, had me try a Lagavulin 16 with Ice cold Coke- man what a taste! I know Jack and coke makes you sound like a high-schooler, but something about the smoky peatyness and super cold...

    Have you ever heard speakers sound better than Headphones/Earphones?

    Lately I have been using headphones because sitting in my room with the lights off and my eyes closed has been impossible. I definitely get more detail but am too afraid to blast my ears to really feel it like my speakers do. I use iems every day at work because I found they work great inside my...
