    A Question on THD...

    Since you are using the "line out" outputs of the receiver, the THD from the receiver is very, very low, near zero, so it is mainly the THD from the power amplifier's output that comes into play.

    What's the weakests system you ran XP on?

    I have run Windows XP on a 233MHz Pentium II computer with 384MB RAM. It worked fine. Windows 2000 and XP runs fine on older, slower systems, but you need plenty of RAM memory. At least 128MB , preferably more.

    International Recievers

    I'm afraid there aren't many audio products sold where you can switch between 120 and 230 volts. I think the best idea is to buy a big transformer (unfortunately not cheap), or buy the equipment in the country that you move to.

    what to blame for distortion?

    Most likely the power amp, or, sometimes, the CD recording in itself.

    I am a social pariah because I don't like sports!

    I am like that, too. I'm totally uninterested in sports and in watching sports on the TV. (Except the Soccer World Cup (especially Sweden vs. England :)) and some of the formula 1 events, like Monaco grand Prix).

    Anyone ever drink Absinthe?

    I have tasted "absinthe" at a local bar, but it wasn't the "real thing" I suppose, I think it lacks several ingredients which they used in the old days... The percentage of alcohol in my absinthe was 60% and the taste was similar to the greek Ouzo, if anyone knows what I mean. The color was...

    Your Favorite Groups "Other" Albums

    I agree that "Meddle" is one of the best, if not the very best Pink Floyd album. "A Saucerful Of Secrets" is also very good. Also, I think that a lot of Kraftwerk's fans would appreciate their album "Ralf & Florian" from 1973. It is out of print and have never been available on CD. And many...

    How to measure actual speaker output wattage from a receiver?

    It's called AutoComplete. I don't know which OS you are running, but in Windows 2000 you can get rid of it or enable it by going to Start Menu >>> Settings >>> Control Panel >>> Internet options >>> Content tab >>> Autocomplete >>> check/uncheck the options.
