| Billie MK3 Pre order and Price!! It's just price gouging. Move on. Read any in depth review of a $3K integrated from the last 3 years and see how the Billie measures up. It's not worth the novelty. Another example of limbic capitalism. All the best, Nonoise | |
| Beware - FedEx Drivers are forging signatures for delivery confirmation Love hearing the stories of FedEx from those in the know. I knew someone who worked as a FedEx mechanic back in the ’80s in a leased building on Van Nuys Airport property. Everyone loved working there at the time. Great salary and benefits, opport... | |
| Beware - FedEx Drivers are forging signatures for delivery confirmation I just had a FedEx delivery for a new office/computer chair and it went flawlessly. Big box, 35# chair, up on the 2nd floor and I sat at my computer not 20' from an open door and didn't hear a thing. He even cleared the front security gate without... | |
| Equipment insurance coverage I took a quick look and unless the law was changed, you have the option to remove personal property coverage and not the insurer if you live in Florida. And if you rent or live in a condo, it cannot be taken off the policy. There were a lot of sh... | |
| Shopping for a new TV... this is one deep rabbithole... I wouldn't worry about brightness levels as TVs have, indeed, come a long way. Brightness levels on OLEDs are just fine for me as I don't keep the windows open while watching. That, and the brightness levels other types have used to be warned agai... | |
| Shopping for a new TV... this is one deep rabbithole... Negative reviews get way more press than positive reviews. It's always been that way. Like already stated, Costco and Best Buy are two good choices that come to mind. I've bought TVs from both and had good experiences from both. They come in, help... | |
| Let's talk about Silver... I’ve been using Darwin Cables for many years and they are the best I’ve heard. Not bright, great base, wonderful mids, airy highs, detail without etch, etc. They get out of the way of the music like cables are supposed to. Low mass connectors, ver... | |

| Tweaking Your Speaker Placement I use a cheap carpenter’s laser that my nephew gave me that looks something like this one, I just center it atop my monitor and eyeball it while aiming at a pillow where my head would be, using the top of the sofa as a gauge. I used to be fasti... | |
| A question about trim rings around speaker drivers This question has came up before and after reading through all the responses, I tried it on some speakers I had at the time that had visible screws. Every screw required some tightening with a couple that needed more than a quarter turn to do acco... | |
| Modding a Oppo 103 I did something similar to that with a ready made piece from a different make and it went smoothly with the install. I forget if there was a big enough of an improvement and it ran rather hot to the touch all the time so I took it out and put the ... | |
| Thoughts on Speakers for a Small Audio/Video Room Yes they do. I'd try plugging the ports which would lessen the base boom while retaining some good, tight base and experiment toeing them in to your satisfaction. See if that works. If not, then monitors may be all you need, like the Revival Audi... | |
| Package Has Disappeared in USPS System Gotta love this first world problem...timeliness. | |
| Do CD Transports benefit much from upgraded power cords? @grunge1000 In regards to $2000 PCs, I think you'll find most here, me included, in thinking it's overkill. I've only spent as much as $500 for some PCs and found easily discernible differences and at that point, called it a day and just listened ... | |
| Do CD Transports benefit much from upgraded power cords? @grunge1000 Your hypotheses of all the variances in power that a power line goes through in it's 100s of miles journey presupposes variances in its power delivery, cleanliness and stability, so why would it matter by the time you get in at your ... |
