    Radio noise

    Well, got it solved--as is usual when I post a question. :rolleyes: Yes, I added a dipole (the Terk monster) which helps. I also was able to swap the Belkin UPS for an APC UPS--problems solved; so the Belkin UPS makes all kinds of noise that gets transmitted across the power circuit (it and the...

    Radio noise

    It's been a while since I've last posted here. I have a frustrating problem at the office. I have a nice little Yamaha desktop system & cannot for the life of me get a clean radio signal on my preferred station (it's a college-band public station). I recently got move into the current office &...

    Nope, not a language. I'd say that falls under the heading of a cipher.

    Is HT making us dumb?

    I've always been a Jazz fan, so the improving HT is just making that even better (BTW, while generally horn-driven, there is a lot of stuff not based around brass. Take a look at Diana Krall's stuff for example). Like MDS, I don't pick a movie to go with the HT, I pick a movie because I like...

    Umm...yeah sure ok. That's a constructive attitude. You have to expect that the nature of the complaint will get people nitpicking grammar and spelling in this thread. I also don't think it was directed at you in any way, so the last comment IMHO is way out of line. Try not to take a general...

    Blu-Ray Disc or HD-DVD - What will you buy?

    How can they be losing money on the PS3? It isn't even on the market yet--unless I've totally missed the big news story. Sounds like the internet rumour mill at work again.

    My take on the original complaint is despair at the utter lack of caring--or ability--to form coherent thoughts online. I don't expect perfect grammar and even overlook most spelling errors; my fingers still foul up many times and I miss some of the typos. Even the typical 'net abbreviations...

    Help me choose which wires are better deal

    I wouldn't expect there to be any difference. Impact is an advertiser here, so--no offence--the site is more likely to reccommend them. BJC are quality cables, that's what I use, and Impact have to be as well, otherwise they wouldn't be preferred around here. Either one will work fine for you.

    Post Your Ride!

    Nice project, looks like a lot of fun. I hear you on the excited part, just wait until you get an engine back in & it fires up the first time. Once mine gets farther along, I should have some pics; it's well past fugly, but it fired on Saturday (and got a police chopper to buzz us >:) )--a...

    whatever is said in the steam vent stays here right?

    LOL OK, this is a seriously loaded thread. I'm odd I guess--I don't subscribe to the bigger is better attitude that permeates society today. I think more in terms of 1) anything more than a handful or so is wasted & 2) what is done with them is more important than how big they are. :eek:

    It's not just you. I am in total agreement with your post, not sure of a solution though. My first thought was "is there still a standard?" Sigh, it's really bad when I think that before anything else. What's worse is the idiots like that unintelligible rap star who ignores English...

    etronics.com?

    I got most of my car audio components from them. No problems at all.

    Avia or Video Essentials?

    I have both, but have only started using the Avia disk. With my standard TV, I can say the video calibrations are well explained for a total noob (me) and the end result is a far better picture than the original settings. I will eventually get to the audio part, and sooner or later open up DVE...

    Blu-Ray Disc or HD-DVD - What will you buy?

    For HT, I'm sitting this one out. I will almost certainly end up in the Blu-Ray camp as sooner or later my PS2 will need updating to the PS3, but I'm in no hurry for that. When it does happen, that's where any Blu-Ray movies & end up getting will likely be played from.

    Canadian Record Label being the "Good Guy" against the RIAA :)

    ...and only just yesterday I posted that someone in the industry needs to catch a clue. Glad to see that is happening. :)

    HSU STF-2 B-Stock

    Hmmm.....B-Stock for $317 (no shipping, they are the same area code, I'll just drive over :cool: ). How long until the tax return arrives?

    "Audio Flag" Proposal Protested by CEA's Shapiro

    Kudos to him for being the consumer's voice. I think the sentence as he put it is correct. It sure seems like the RIAA is trying to either drive all consumers away, or turn every one of us into pirates. Somebody needs to catch a clue real quick; the way things are going I have zero interest...

    ARGH! (Non-reading/word twisting posters!)

    My personal soapbox on 'net fora. That drives me nuts. Usually I just stop reading & move on; if they can't be bothered to construct complete sentences with correct spelling, I can't be bothered to divine what they are asking & answer the question. How about this, we start just giving them a...
