Speakers
I can empathize it happened to me a lot. I also understand it bugs you, like a pebble in your shoe. I would ask a woodworker's advice, they are probably experienced in this. I took my speaker once to woodworker to remove scratches and he was very ...

so it's at the bottom of the speaker? Can you hear it move when you turn the speaker?  
Recommendations for small desktop speakers under $1500
Cambridge Soundworks Fleetwood set, it will cost you just a 1/8th but I have never heard a better desktop system  
are we also coffee connoisseurs? Or wine enthusiasts?
@thepigdog Egri Bikaver was the number 1 red wine for the entire duration of Communism, I think it killed more braincells than any other brand

@jond, yes, also the first Sheriff of San Diego Unfortunately 80% of Hungarian wine (<$2) is still junk though

@edcyn wine indeed improved a lot in Hungary (my home country) in the last 2 decades, as they restored the tradition. The famous story about California's wine is that it was started by a Hungarian. Whoever did it, I am happy with the results. No...

that’s pretty deep, some of you are into coffee too. I tried a lot of brands and stuck with Illy’s. I know it’s not from a farmer who reads Greek poems and has a goat named Ghandi; I leave that to the coffee shops. I am still in search for the be...

@rshak and whatever you save on Costco wine, you spend it on cartridges :)

I have a manual Flair espresso maker. Dumped my ascaso when it broke after a year.  after work, a glass of citrusy Chardonnay or local IPA will complement Van Morrison like a charm   
Reverb, what a joke

The new LSA Signature 50 Monitor "Disruptive Product"
@shtinkydog yes, when I wrote "online retailer" I thought: "and you can’t click on anything to buy it", you have to call and email your info and then wait for an email that arrives a day later that doesn’t confirm anything and then wait for an i... 
The new LSA Signature 50 Monitor "Disruptive Product"
@misstl No I didn't but let me clarify it for you. (although I spelled it out "the content and the menus") design - I meant the look of any page - without touching it. In a web site, everything is "designed". What I talked about was not the LOOK... 
Recommendations for HiFi Listening Room
I wanted to "just swap my speakers" 2 years ago. I ended up with a new (used) amp and turntable, new cables - kept the CD player (but stopped listening to CDs) , to improve/accomplish perfect synergy. I'd say i am further from it then when I start... 
The new LSA Signature 50 Monitor "Disruptive Product"
@mlsstl let’s focus on the facts: this is an online retail store let’s put aside the design. the content and the menus look like a botched middle school project from 1997. I am no web design guru, but I’ve built a lot of web sites, it’s litera... 
The new LSA Signature 50 Monitor "Disruptive Product"
@mlsstl  the colors, the design, the logic, the missing info, the lack of structure, the redundancy, all that. I am not asking for much, just the minimum of consistency and transparency.
