Hey guys, I am replacing a fluorescent overhead kitchen light that quit working. I assume the ballast went out, but I was kind of looking for an excuse to replace it anyway. When I apply a multimeter, I get ~36VAC when both of the wall switches are off! I do get 0V when the circuit breaker is...

I have always wondered how often plugs are used for those subwoofers which offer plugs to help tune the subs. I know Hsu, SVS, and Outlaw provide plugs for at least some of their ported subwoofers. It would be reasonable for a manufacturer (who did not really believe it is beneficial to use...

I have been to Mexico several times and always assaulted with low-fi sound whenever I enter an electronics retailer! The brand names are companies I have never heard of! Hoping I just haven't been to the right stores! What do those of you who either live in or have a second home in Mexico do for...

I used to own a pair of KLH 6V (vinyl version of the model 6 from a time when using vinyl woodgrain was very much the exception rather than the rule). They were IMHO a stand-out product representing very good sound for the money! I forget what I paid, but the vinyl version was not very...

As far as I knew, these have been off the market for some time. Maybe they found some hidden in the back section of a warehouse somewhere? RC-10 bookshelf...

This is for a friend who is giving it to his sister for Christmas. Their family has a strict dollar value they assign every year so all presents are equal in value. I don't think it's a big deal if nominal shipping costs are tax throws it a little above $100 but it's a fairly strict limit. I'm...

The reason I think this is better than normal is in the past it always seemed like they were playing some sort of game like discount 3/4's of the series, but the others are full price. This one seems to be everything! While I am not sure the prices are the absolute best ever (pretty sure they...

https://www.monoprice.com/pages/blackfriday_hometheater At a glance, it looks like most (if not all) Monolith speakers and subs are discounted! Note: The above link is to Home Theater items of the BF sale. Here is the link to the general sale: https://www.monoprice.com/pages/blackfriday_db

After having such a good experience with my 40V cordless lawnmower, I decided to look into chainsaws! I have a Poulan that I used to use on a regular basis when i was turning wood on the lathe, but now it seems like a pain to get it out and get it started for the occasional fallen limb, etc. Gas...

https://www.accessories4less.com/index.php?page=seek&id%5Bm%5D=pattern&id%5Bq%5D=ref1000 I wish I could get a listen to the Reference 1.2 against my Vento 830.2 combined with dual Outlaw X13 Ultras (which cost $2800 total)! The $5000/pr 3.2 says LAST PAIR! Edit: Note that the 1.2 is Gloss...

Sometime in the last couple of days, Acessories4Less must have gotten the memo that this AVR was being discontinued/sold new for $800 (which was what A4L had charged for the refurb)! Accordingly, they have dropped the price by $150 to $650/ea. This is a lot of features (and IMHO, the right...

Trump told right-wing militia groups to "stand back and stand by" Trump encouraged people to go to the polls and keep an eye on things! Trump appointed one of his minions to the USPS and automated processing equipment has been removed and not replaced. The citizens of the US are more divided...

I am wanting to set up a modest stereo for a friend. I have the 305s which make for good capability for low cost (I think I paid $160 for the pair). I know I can buy a BT receiver/puck for about $20, but it would be nice to also have a physical volume control (aside from on the backs of the...

Not an audio post, just aesthetics! I am not interested in buying these, but am I the only one who thinks this a very nice look, except that KEF decided to print "LS50" and "Black Edition" in gold/copper color on their "all black" speaker? If I was doing it, I would have both "LS50" and "Black...

A friend's son wants a "gaming monitor". As the guy she knows who knows a little about AV, she came to me for advice. I don't know anything about gaming (and am weak on the video side of AV). This is for Christmas and the budget is $200. 1) Any suggestions/great deals? 2) I have a monitor and a...

I am surprised to see there is no thread on "The Boyz" yet. The Series is 2 Seasons in! Think of the Justice League Superheroes, without any ethics/morality! They are worried about their public image, but that's about as far as it goes! If absolute power corrupts absolutely, think of what...

I am trying to help a friend setup an inexpensive but decent stereo system for streaming Apple Music. Basically, I want to replicate one of my systems, which is an Echo Dot connected to JBL-305's. However, Apple Music is something I know little about and she and her husband are vehemently...

This is a really fine speaker for the price! https://www.accessories4less.com/make-a-store/item/cantvento830.2blkob/canton-vento-830.2-7-2-way-bookshelf-speaker-black-gloss-pair-open-box/1.html

I know nothing about these other than they have a good pedigree and are being heavily discounted...

This is a video of interview with the (anthropologist) author of a Rolling Stones article on this topic. The term "unraveling" is well chosen because he is fundamentally pointing out the lack of cohesiveness among our people/society/culture as the reason for the decline. On the surface, it...
