Sneaky new internet tax pushing through fast
Audiozen, I'm not sure it would strengthen local stores. I would still buy over internet because it is better (not to mention I pay use tax anyway). I can get free shipping, read reviews and be sure it is in stock plus 10x better selection. In sto...

Effective corporate tax rate in 1962 was about 40% but today is about 15% thanks to loopholes etc. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Income_tax_in_the_United_States 
Sneaky new internet tax pushing through fast
Hifibri, you are right. I should've said spending increase instead of spending. I compared 1962 and 2013 spending itself, adjusted for inflation and population minus two fold increase in military spending (adjusted for inflation) and payment on th... 
Sneaky new internet tax pushing through fast
Under this current climate of corporations holding trillions off shore, using our infrastructure and paying nothing, one wonders if a tax increase to the people is an equitable solution.That's the reason for deficit. Government spending adjusted f... 
Sneaky new internet tax pushing through fast
AFAIK tax on out of state purchase is illegal. Because of that my state (Illinois) collects "use tax" - different name of the same thing. Since I don't remember what I bought where I use option of paying fixed "use tax" proportional to gross incom... 
Electronics 101: Use of Negative Feedback; a Q
Marakanetz, I think that negative feedback can make amplifier unstable since feedback can easily become positive at higher frequencies, while "no feedback" should be always stable.I agree with Kirkus that there is always some form of feedback. It ... 
Dolby HX PRO Dicrete Circuit.
In short it is servo on the bias as they explained. Tape bias is non audible high frequency recorded with music that reduces distortions of the tape. Bias also reduces upper bandwidth so usually some compromise is taken. Because high frequencies i...

Mtruong34, I found widest rubbers to expand and clean midrange while smallest rubbers remove most of the bass. Have you tried it? 
Bass leaves after amp warms up?
Csontos, I did read it but never experienced such big effects from wrong bias. There might be some temperature effect on Mosfets' rds(on) but I cannot imagine why amp would suddenly play fine again after changing source or moving speaker wire. I w... 
Bass leaves after amp warms up?
Fishing716, what about amp's power cord? Is it possible that you used the same cord with both amps? Defective cord would be better news than defective house. 
Bass leaves after amp warms up?
Foster_9, that's true, some amps are better than others but his amp plays fine for couple of hours and then looses bass. Switching source or adjusting speaker cable can bring back the bass performance instantly. 
Bass leaves after amp warms up?
I said "to my another house" - it should say "to friend's house".I hope it is the house, as hard as it is to change, because the only alternative is Fishing716 himself (common factor) - musician, 60's, LSD. If that's the case he has to be brought ... 
Bass leaves after amp warms up?
Fishing716 mentioned also on another thread that switching sources can bring back the bass. Same happens when he "adjusts" speaker cables. It would imply bad connection somewhere. It is not amp because he tried two, not source since he switched th... 
At What Age Does An Audiophile Buy His Last Amp?
Mitch4t, Life starts at 60. My mother started driving car at the age of 72. On the other hand I think I'm changing things around but in reality I drive the same car for 17 years, work at the same place for 25 years, live at the same address for 21... 
Amazing sound quality inexpensive earbuds
I'm happy guys that you like them. I would hesitate to recommend anything more expensive because of my limited experience and issues of fitting etc. Thanks to everybody for your response and opinion/evaluation.
