Hey all, it's been a while. I'm back because my Crown XTi 2000 died out of nowhere, no lights, no nothing. I pulled the ceramic fuse, and if I'm using my meter correctly, there is still continuity. I was told that when ceramic fuses blow, they look blown and darkened, and mine is still pretty...

:eek::p The brisket talk over in the January audio lovefest thread got me to share a few pics of some of the things I made last weekend. Photos were taken by a friend, and I just received them now, so here are a few for you. I cooked my very first whole tenderloin, and this was somewhere on...

I totally forgot to share this last time I was posting here. Anyway, I saw them last week, and they kicked some seriously major butt. I've seen Metheny before mind you, at that time it was with percussion phenom Bill Stewart, but I actually preferred this concert, and it surpassed my...

Finally. Sheesh. Took 'em dang long enough! Ok, that is all.

Welp, I've been on a bit of a reading binge lately, and I've borrowed this book from a friend (owner of a mountain biking business in fact, who has now avidly picked up barefoot running). So, coming from someone who used to think that running as the most boring thing known to man, I have become...

Since you're the guy that finally urged me to buy the DTS10 flatpack when I was trying to pick brains here, perhaps you'd oblige me with some of the qualifiers and the actual distortion comparison measurements. Maybe you're only talking about moderate SPL, or unlimited budget and/or only...

I was listening to the story on NPR yesterday. IIRC, they were saying that only 14% of the recordings before 1960 are even available today. A lot of these masters are not used because it is just not financially feasible. I put the below quotes out of order on purpose. Good for Universal...

I don't even know where to begin. Making a set of three towers is one of three competing upgrade possibilities for me, and I'm trying to learn more to make a better decision. I would like to keep it under $2k in total costs for everything. $1.5k would of course be much better (as this is...

Help me once again BMX! :D My younger brother is currently a chief resident in radiology at a major hospital (biggest ER center in the area, in fact), and he wants to convince his department to get a portable unit for use during educational conferences, ideally under the $1k mark. Not too...

I'm seriously lost on the choices. I ran a title search on "rack", and scanned all 53 thread hits. I also ran a search on Middle Atlantic on a certain user or two. I can't afford one right now, but I will likely need one in the near future. My brother is planning on giving me his old Xbox...

I know this can go in the DIY forum, or perhaps the acoustics subforum, but oh well. I'd like to build some cheap stands about a foot tall for three towers. Aesthetics are completely unimportant, as they will not be visible. I was thinking perhaps getting a sheet of MDF, and making three...

Hey guys, I just picked up an unused but very beat up pair of PSB Image T55s today. I was hunting for a single* T55 for my future center speaker, and I worked out a deal with my dealer. He was planning on fixing whatever was needed to sell these at discount, but just hasn't got around to it...

I am starting to become very interested in trying the DIY Seymour material at $20 per linear foot. (I'll have to think about buying "extra" if I want to do the tilt for future proofing any moiré even if it's not an issue with LCOS.) I recently had a conversation with a friend who will help...

I'm considering getting one later this year. This will essentially be for browsing/email only. Not a media server, no gaming, etc. The one thing that I am concerned with is its capability in running REW, Audyssey, video calibrations, etc, for the future. Do most netbooks have soundcards...

poke* poke* Hi. I need a CD recommendation for the St. Matthew Passion, on behalf of a friend. I'll take more than one recommendation, if you feel so inclined. Thanks, I appreciate it.

I just received some XLR cables and y-splitter(s) so that I can implement my Samson S-convert, in order to match preout voltage and do gain staging for my subwoofer's amp. However, the y-splitter from Monoprice has a casing that just can't fit between my other mch interconnects. I ordered two...

It's long (hey it captures 24 hrs), and there aren't any more smoking hot chicks after the first minute or so, heh. 24 HOURS IN 19500 FRAMES

Hey, I was curious if anyone had certain olive oil brands to recommend? I wouldn't mind one for a smoother, milder flavor (but still a good flavor) for when I don't want too much flavor imparted into any certain dish, but also one that is very flavorful for when I want that. Thanks! :D

My first thread in the DIY subforum. :D The only two DIY builds that have whetted my appetite recently are the Danley kit and the Tuba HT that Matt34 built. I am leaning towards the Danley for a few reasons, and they include the flexibility of placement, and a rolloff that starts at 11hz...

I did read about at least one Pana owner saying it works well, if without measurements. There have been a good number of JVC owners measuring about a doubling of lux or fl after simply cleaning the prism that the bulb fires through, with a camera lens grade microfiber and solution. I think the...
