    Logitech Squeezebox Duet Music Server Review

    First off, do a little research behind the company that makes this device. It is not logitech but a small company that is owned by Logitech. Smart thing they did when they bought the company was to keep the company together and let them do their thing. The Duet was actually in R&D before...

    Slim Devices Squeezebox2 Wireless Music Server Review

    Wireless 802.11b performance. I have a Squeezebox (not a Squeezebox2), and I stream only FLAC. On the originally squeezebox most people said that 11b was just barely enough bandwidth to stream FLAC, I never had issues but I had a pretty reliable 11b setup with good signal. However the SB2...

    What to do with a wholehouse intercom system

    Ok I recently bought a house and the house had in it a wholehouse intercom system that looks to be circa 1970. It is rather old and very ugly (think 70s decor). The system consists of a main control unit in the Kitchen which is about 1'x2' and it has the AM/FM radio and AUX input. The units...

    +12v triggers

    One way you could build your own Fan with 12V trigger is to put a SPST relay on the fan, and use the +12V trigger to connect to the coil of the relay. This is basically what is used in amps that have remote switches that are designed to work with the +12V trigger. Whatever you do, do NOT...

    wireless media server

    I have a SlimDevices Squeezebox, and could not be happier with it. I have had for almost a year now. I use it to play Lossless Flac audio files and connect it via digital coax to my Denon 3805. My entire collection has been ripped to FLAC and the quality is exactly the same as the original...

    Downloadable test-tones at Audioholics

    i think this is a very good idea. If audioholics made such a CD iso (note make it an iso for easy burning to CD), it would also give people more reason to visit the site looking for said CD. Kind of another way to lure people to the site to see what great stuff it has to offer. As one...

    Setup for a large room?

    GET a RUG on that floor. And some curtains or something on the windows. That will help with toning down the brightness of the room, both acousitcally and visually. ;) Might even make it look like someone lives their. I take it you are single ;) I am not familiar with the speakers in...

    Wireless Network-based audio sources?

    I personnally use a Squeezebox from SlimDevices http://www.slimp3.com/ I love it, it fits my needs very well. It is a bit on the geek level of things, the community and company are a very active and growing. Every week something new seems to be happening with them. Features I like about...

    Banana's Or Spades?

    One thing that is a good idea with using bare wire, is tin the ends. This just makes things a little neater and helps prevent stray wires from shorting to the other post. However this assumes you own a soldering iron.

    Problems programming the Denon 3805 Remote

    Recently my harmony remote died and I am going to give the Denon 3805 remote a chance until I can replace the harmony. However I can not get the Denon remote to program with my Onkyo DVD changer. The booklet only has one code for the Onkyo DVD player. It takes the code fine with the OK...

    Howto Quiet the HVAC Intake?

    Installing an external baffle might be a good idea, IF I can make it pass the WAF. Spraying ascoustic faom inside may help but I think my biggest noise problem is turbelent air through the grate, so not sure how much that would really help. Anyone have much like with a different type of grate?

    Help! I recorded over my niece's sweet 16 tape!

    Well if they did not take the time to label it, how important can it be? However as for recovering the data, you may be able to use some very expensive equipment that can detect the very minute appearance of the old recording. This requires expensive gear and an even more expensive person...

    Dont really know what im doin

    I would agree with ruadmaa. You really need to spend time to find out what would make a good box design and crossover. You are looking at a 3way design which is much harder than say a 2way. To answer the power handling issue, most speakers can handle more power than most recievers can...

    This is what I want! An open letter to the industry.

    Ok I have not looked into these Digital Amps, but you made a comment that the signal never gets converted to the analog domain? How is that possible, speakers will NOT take a digital signal. At some point the signal must be converted to analog. Doing so without amplification to me seems very...

    Question from newbie about bookshelf speakers

    I am in a similiar situation. Was thinking of using that rubber mat stuff that looks like a hole bunch of rubber beads in a screen type fashion. It is used mainly for a non-slip surface, boaters use it ALOT. Seems like it should work as a good isolator and also prevent scratches. What...
