75 is plenty for most applications. I'm sure it's a clean and powerful 75W. I've heard some people run Khorns on 2W or less and they can blow the corners of your foundation apart...

Yeah, the Spec1 and Spec2 are fairly iconic. They were used in many studios and are rack mountable. I need to get them fixed up.

That Mac is beautiful, and I bet it sounds great. What kind of power does it make, and how does it perform?

I have an old Pioneer Spec1 and Spec2 amp and preamp. I need to get it reconditioned. It still works, but the pots need cleaning, and I would imagine some stuff on the board needs replacing. It is scratchy when adjusting the majority of the pots. It puts out MASSIVE power, though.

Currently, I can't hook it up. I'm living in an apartment. I have some SVS bookshelf speakers that I have hooked up to it before I moved, and it sounded like a PA system. It's the loudest bookshelf stereo I've heard by a decent margin.

Eventually, I will have all new SVS towers, surrounds or bookshelfs, subs, and Emotiva amps and processors. If I can ever afford a house. Once I have a place to build my dream system, it will come together.

I wouldn't recommend cooking tomatoes in cast iron. It really isn't a great combo, and also can mess with the flavor of your dish. Also, don't cook them in aluminum.

I wash my cast iron with hot water and soap regularly; after every time I use it. However, I do it quickly. It doesn't take the seasoning off, but my pan is probably seasoned quite well. It's incredibly non-stick. Fresh potatoes for home fries do not stick. That's generally a pretty good test. Techniques also play a part, but my cast iron is almost as non-stick as my actual non-stick pans.

Redragon makes extremely solid peripherals. I have a wired keyboard and mouse from them and love them both. They have braided cables. Really solid stuff for the money. Really hard to beat.

Might want to do the slow change at those miles if it's never been done. Just drain some, then add the amount that drained out.

Wiha for me. I have their stubby bit driver and a wiha bit set. Amazing stuff.

My Osprey pack is great and has a lifetime warranty. I use it for travel and it's been checked on a plane a number of times. I've only had it about a year but it's absolutely as good as new.

Basically any Toyota or 4 cyl Honda should last for decades if taken care of.

I'm super happy with Osprey. They have a no questions asked lifetime warranty.

Yep. Works like a charm.

I second the Global knives. Also their minosharp sharpeners. Just make sure the angle matches the angle of your knives because Global makes western and Japanese angle blades. The combo is fantastic.

I have a couple of Global knives along with their minosharp sharpening system, and they've been laser sharp since I got them four or five years ago. It's an incredible combo.

You can buy 90-91% isopropyl alcohol at any store pretty much. Usually in the pharmacy area. It's cheap too. That and some kosher or other large grain salt works well for cleaning many things. The salt won't dissolve in the alcohol.
