| Fan to cool room? Vornado, hands down. The one I have, forget the model but the fan area is about a foot or so in diameter, whole thing sits maybe 16-18" high on the floor. You want it on the floor because that’s where the air is coolest. And you want it just big e... | |
| Why No McIntosh Recommendations? pgaulke60 Keep in mind the vast majority are like cats, they will chase whatever moves. | |
| which car is sitting in your listening room? I worry that some may think that means his stereo is worth the same as a VW electric bus. But no. He actually has a VW electric bus sitting in his living room. Dude. | |
| Theoretical question about how CD's work Short answer: no. Because like (gulp) geoff said the data is not on the disc in 1's and 0's, its encoded in pits and lands of varying length. So the data is not there in digital form but rather digital form encoded into pits and lands that are dec... | |

| List your System Ingredients: Listed most to least expensive, by list price or price paid Leaving out price is deliberate and makes it decidedly not a measuring contest. Leaving out even percentages makes it purely a list of which cost more- and letting people choose to go with either MSRP or what they paid is yet another way of hiding... | |
