Incidents like this will continue to happen because there are people like the shooter living among us who care nothing for the life of others. I feel so bad for the parents, friends and colleagues. Who can imagine burying you child? What bothers me about the tragedy is the time line...

For my two cents, I think Warren has framed the discussion in such a way that makes good sense. Having said that, anyone can chose to believe what they want to believe, however if you choose to believe different brands of measurably similar cables can be audibly different, you must also...

I read the post on power cords and the "Iron Lung Jellyfish" fininsed 6th out of 22. There is a group buy on that cord for $9.73 here. IMO, MBG are like MIRs, first it is your money and second you have to wait, sometimes up to 60+ days, and third you may be DQed for not dotting ever "i"...
