Streaming Music through my home stereo
The most important thing by far with streaming is just to get the stream going. Anything beyond that is icing on the cake. You guys will understand when you get a little older.  I don't know if you will ever be able to control it from your iPhone.... 
Worth the effort? Cabling inside sub
And its worse than nonsense to conflate and confuse internal cabling, the wire from the amp to the driver which does carry a lot of current, with the input wire, which does not.. Can't keep something that simple straight, why expect any better fro... 
Are all red book cd transports created equal?
Right. Except there aren't any. There are no bits on a CD. What you think are bits are really pits and land. Low and high. The pits and land are different lengths, the length corresponding to a word or string of bits. So a pit or land does not cor... 
Conflicting impedance specs for Definitive Technology Demand D9 speakers
The best way to learn is to try and hear for yourself. Run it the way it sounds best. Sorry, but all the tech talk about impedance is.... tech talk about impedance. Its nice to know. Because who knows, some day you might hook up a bunch of speaker... 
Worth the effort? Cabling inside sub
Save your money. You won't hear any difference. From any of it. Caps are a big deal in crossovers and other circuits because the ear is highly sensitive to even the most subtle changes from midrange on up. If this was a speaker crossover you could... 
Does this happen often?
If you get a kick from your laptop, that’s just your ears/brain adapting. THAT is what “break in” really is from speakers, electronics, cartridges.Nope. THAT is what happens when great music is performed by major talent. I’m sure you don’t really ...

Digital Only Preamps - What's out there now?
Waxing your what???!  
Rotel and Bi-Amping
You can bi-amp with anything. Question is: Why? Its a counter-productive waste of time and money. Oh, you can do it. I could even tell you how to do it with what you have now. But that would be a disservice to you. I'm here, we are all supposed to... 
Best smooth vocal jazz albums with flugelhorn/ trumpet/ saxophone accompaniment
So we're in the middle of this procedure in the OR one day and they're playing smooth jazz and someone says is that Kenny G or whatever and I say something like what does it matter it all sounds the same. Then for whatever reason, the iPod or the ... 
I want to start a thread on the latest usb cards for pc ,How do I include a picture?
Pictures! lol! Good one! They barely can manage grainy low rez images on the ads and system pages. Pictures in the forums? Then it would be like a modern, or even 20th century, website. Dream on! 
B&W P6 tweeter replacement
Speaker gasket material often sticks like this. Three tricks to try. The first one a speaker builder showed me but made me drive across state as he had so many people mess it up. Take the wood screw that held the driver and situate it in the hole ... 
End-Game RCM thoughts/advice
I have had the VPI 16.5 for years. Its okay for getting crud off. The problem with all these machines is the level of clean needed for a record cannot be done the way people want it done. The only way it can be done is with a brush or cleaning pad... 
bose 2201 speaker
Krikey! So, basically, no good ideas, ever.  And yet, household name. Anyone ever doubts the power of marketing, ladies and gentlemen, I give you: Bose! 
Weird problem noticed today...
Sounds like they have been driven so hard the diaphragm stretched to the point where its contacting the stator(s). First test you should have done, always do, with something like this is swap channels to narrow it down. Least likely but easiest is...
