| Insurance claim for shipping damage for Fedex Hear Hear Bdgregory. Good advise about documentation, documentation, documentation. Get them involved each step of the way. Be respectful (it's probably refreshing for them!) | |
| Insurance claim for shipping damage for Fedex I have had good success with insurance claims with Fedex. Twice they have paid for damage, twice for situations where there was even no visible box damage but the item had clearly been dropped. But be aware that their criteria for packing is that ... | |
| Window Treatments to Remove reflected sound If you get curtains, err on the "too much fabric" side. The more folds the better.I have a related question. Anyone know how to treat "ringing" of large pane windows. I've got a 48"x56" double pane that rings, becomes excited at various voice freq... | |
| electrical outlets I agree with Sugarbrie about Hubbel and P&S 8300 outlets. They grip real well, and they cost about $10 each. I got mine at an electrical supply store. If you call Stone Way Electric in Seattle, they would even UPS them to you. They would need ... | |

| Joni Mitchell Blue - Wow help me Agoners I have two LP pressings, not sure which ones they are as I'm currently away from home. But based on these two LP's, I would have to say that while Blue is a great work of artistry, it just isn't that well recorded. I hope that's not the case in re... | |
| Record LP's on to Laptop While you could record directly to the sound card in your laptop, it is not recommended. The audio quality will not suffice. There are several good A/D converters that would plug in to your tape out and go right to your computer. One highly rated ... | |
| Weird Setup - Will it Work? I spoke to Joe Abrams (Portal) and he confirmed that the Panache can easily drive 2 sets of speakers with the way it handles low impedence. She could put a Radio shack volume control in line to the kitchen speakers, keep it out of the Living Room ... | |
