| Shorten those lengthy power cords? If these are just standard computer iec cords, nothing special, it may not matter what plug you put on them. If you plan on doing DIY later down the road and making some better cords, go ahead and buy the expensive plugs - you can always use them ... | |

| The scoop on itunes artwork Sounds like it should work well for populating artwork for the squeeze system. I looked around on the web - it's not very well documented, so I guess you just have to run it to try it out. I assume that it works independently of itunes, and doesn'... | |
| The scoop on itunes artwork Perrew - thanks for the input. Does the automatically downloaded artwork replace the associations itunes has already made? I've read about some automatic programs replacing higher quality images with low quality or wrong images, without giving the... | |
| The scoop on itunes artwork For those interested, there is definitely something different about how itunes handles aiff artwork. For all other formats, I see itunes updating the artwork song by song, and it takes a little while. For aiff it does it immediately, no song-by-so... | |
| The scoop on itunes artwork By the way, if anyone has any tips on bringing artwork into the squeeze system software, please let us know!!! | |
| The 1.6 Maggies - any thoughts on best amp? BTW - how do you like the Rogue 66? I liked it better than a 99 magnum - seems like it doesn't impose much on the music (a good thing). | |
| Suggest Speakers for Peachtree Nova Ohm Micros didn't do well at all with my 20 wpc EL84 amp, but sound pretty darn good with my 50wpc Audio Refinement complete. I'm not sure whether the Nova is as strong of an amplifier as the AR Complete. | |
| Suggest Speakers for Peachtree Nova I auditioned it with several speakers, and found that with the Rega R-3's it ran out of steam and clipped. We were looking for floor standers and ended up with the Audio Physic Yaras - a good match. Vandersteen 1c's were a good match too. I don't ... | |
| Green, Eco Friendly Class A Monoblocks Hi T_bone,You're right, they just generate heat, not electricity. If you are going closed loop, I'm not sure of the trenching depth that gets you pretty well far away from the seasonal and diurnal temperature fluctuations at the surface - a boreho... | |
| diffuser panels made more simple? Search for existing thread called:"Making Your Own 2D Diffusors"You can do exactly what you propose and spray with latex paint. The contributor who offers his write-up, near the end of the post, did just that and you can get detailed info from him... | |
| Green, Eco Friendly Class A Monoblocks T_bone - I've been studying ground source heat pumps lately. They are very efficient, and a form of geothermal. They require either buried shallow loops of tubing in the ground or wells. | |
| Making Your Own 2D Diffusors Tom was kind enough to send me his write up and pictures. Excellent write up, and Tom has made a variety of diffusor types with foam. Excellent work! I ended up making mine out of balsa wood, which is light, wasn't too pricey, and looks really gre... | |
| Best Private Retreat Using Closed Headphones I've got a pair of Ultrasone cans that I like quite well for closed phones. Check out their line. | |
| Green, Eco Friendly Class A Monoblocks Besides lowering the power demand of your amps (e.g. Class D), you may want to look into the solar policies wrt the local power company. In some locations, the power company is required to buy back energy generated by solar, and a simpler solar (o... |
