[R-390] Re: Orange Drops, not just for radio any more

Let's see - $9.99 for a pair of Orange Drops that AES would sell for 2.06 (1.03 each). 
Maybe AES should start selling via that auction place. I didn't know you needed 400 volt 
caps in a guitar. I wonder if 600 volt caps would sound better? Anyone know how to test 
wire to see if it is oxygen free?

If any of you ever get a chance to attend the CES (Consumer Electronics Show) in Las 
Vegas, check out the high end audio exhibits at the Alexis Hotel. Amid some of the most 
wonderful sounding audio systems are some shameful scams. One vendor had 
disassembled a Leviton duplex AC outlet and plated all of its insides gold. He claimed 
that it would help provide a more pure power to the equipment for a sweeter sound. If 
want a sweeter sound, I'll stuff down a Krispy Kreme...
