| Speed bumps as a cause of hearing loss. Don't dismiss the car door pressurization theory out of hand. The Kremlin still hasn't released the full report, but it was reported by Western intelligence agencies that back in 1975 an Aeroflot jet exploded on the runway after ground crews slamm... | |
| This sucks I agree with you, "What the hell were your thinking?" It's not surprising that you're not happy now since you were never able to clearly articulate why and for what purpose you wanted to change your system. Changing things just to change will get ... | |
| Can a scratched record... Transfer the vinyl to a digital file format and store it on a computer. There are any number of click removal software programs that can automatically eliminate all but the largest of scratches. Alternatively, even simple audio editing programs ha... | |
| Any high quality music servers out there? Mthomas makes a good point about the importance of the software interface. How the music is organized and its accessibility greatly effects your ultimate enjoyment of this storage format. | |
| Should a good system sound bad with bad recording?
