Do your music genre choices change w/ the seasons?
A lot of times it depends upon whom I'm talking to. Or maybe if I'm watching a movie that has a familiar sound track. Sometimes I listen to "summer" songs in the winter to perk me up. Like "Its a beautiful morning" by the Rascals for example. 
One speaker is louder than the other
I had that problem before I moved and then it disappeared when I moved to a different house. Besides the change in rooms, the cables were switched during the move. Have you tried switching the cables? Stranger things have happened in this crazy ho... 
Re-discovered Satellite Radio..
A similar thing happened to me. We moved so I had the Dish people run a line to my home office. It costs me an extra $6 a month and is well worth it. You are right about the quality of analog outputs. Barely FM quality. Now I am looking for a dece... 
WAF - Wife Acceptance Factor
We just moved into a larger, older house but the living room is smaller. My wife said "Honey, since our big screen tv is too big for the living room, why don't we get one of those tvs you can hang on the wall?" God, I love her. Of course I said " ...

Good Advice
A couple days ago I found an old Wards Airline console at a garage sale. I bought it for $3 figuring I could take the tube electronics out and have some fun this summer as I am a teacher. I powered it up and put an album on. It sounded so weird as...

Ruining music with a cheap sub
One of myfellow salesmen showed me a big difference between the $150 sub and the $300 one. He played a bass line where there were 4 or 5 bass notes in a row. The better one played all 4 or 5. The cheap Sony could only play 2 or 3. The better one w... 
Static in the balance knob, what can I do?

Static in the balance knob, what can I do?
Hi If you want to go cheap on this, I used WD-40 at the advice of a Tech who knows how cheap I can be. Get inside and spray the inside part of the knobs. Let it sit for about 24 hours, and then turn the knobs back and forth a few times. It worked ...

Hi I upgraded from the s-video that came from dish to my receiver then upconverted to a Hitachi HDTV and I noticed an improvement in color brightness. The new cable was a straightwire $20 s-video. Then I moved that old s-video cable to my 20 inch ...
