Can I nominate Sean please ?
Kevziek: Do you know how many emails a day that i get ? Do you realize that not all emails always reach their intended destinations ? Have you ever thought that both servers and end users run into computer problems and experience glitches ? Having...

Tom: First of all, i'm glad that i'm not alone in trying to avoid as much error correction as possible. I'm not saying that we shouldn't have it, i'm saying that we shouldn't need it if everything is working optimally. At least we agree on somethi... 
need advice
Will you be setting the TV up along the long wall ( 30' ) or the short wall ( 18' ) ? This will make a big difference in terms of the type of speakers that you should purchase. Are there any other room attributes / specific traffic constraints tha... 
Wanna know how noisy your AC is ?
Not so fast Brent. I have a confession to make. While building an "adapter" to convert a female IEC plug on the end of a power cord to accept a standard AC plug for this "kit", i screwed up. After completing it, i tested it to make sure that it wa... 
Can I nominate Sean please ?
WOW !?!?! What can i say ??? To say that such recognition is not liked would be silly. At the same time, i don't do what i do in hopes of receiving anything out of it other than the joy of being able to help others out AND learn from others experi... 
Wanna know how noisy your AC is ?
Wow. Got a lot of responses here. That's good : )Marty: As to the question about the Elfix, that tool appears to be similar. While the Elfix has a control to vary the sensitivity, it costs quite a bit more than the one shown on the Lowe's website.... 
Wanna know how noisy your AC is ?
Almost forgot. I can include a "Kill A Watt" voltage & amperage measuring device and an Elfix device that checks for AC radiation. Both are handy devices and weigh next to nothing. The Kill A Watt can show you how much current each device that... 
Which basic amps can drive 1 ohm loads ?
Here's something else to think about folks. That is, the lower the impedance, the less time that the amp stays in Class A and the sooner it switches over to Class B. The more switching of operating Class that takes place, the "grungier" and less c... 
using a back-up ups for front end of system
Most UPS type devices are filthy creatures when it comes to generating AC. They are meant as a means to temporarily operate a computer system so that it any data can be properly stored and the system shut down without losing anything. When used fo... 
Review: Green Mountain Audio Europa Monitor
Dolphin: Here's the specific section that i have a hard time with, especially given the "minimalist design of the crossover":Impedance.. 4 to 5 Ohms from 100Hz to 20kHz, 4 to 10 ohms from DC to 100HzIt is near impossible for a ported speaker to ha... 
Best measurment for Amp driving force W or uF
What good does having a million watts or tons of current do if you're trying to pass it all through a 16 or 18 gauge inductor ? This is besides the point that some folks are using 20+ gauge wire to feed the signal to the speakers. How much instant... 
100w class A or 200 w class AB ????
I agree with part of what Clueless said. I disagree with the other part of what Clueless said. : ) Sean> 
Review: Green Mountain Audio Europa Monitor
Nicely written review. I do have some "problems" with the spec's as presented, but that is more a question / comment for the manufacturer, not the owner(s) of this product. : ) Sean> 
Here's how a CD is made
Excellent find Cdc and thanks for providing a link to this article. Very informative and easy to understand / follow along with. Truly one of Robert Harley's better works. Sean>

What i find interesting is that Tom and Warren seem adamant in their support for their beliefs. Nothing wrong with that and i agree that products and companies that are well designed and have been a pleasure to work with deserve support and recogn...
