| Buying from other countries? Besides the Canadian transactions that are pretty painless, I bought a DAC from a man in Australia. There were lots of little wrinkles both in terms of the $ transfer and shipping/customs, but it can be done. You need excellent communications and ... | |
| Looking for the best audio porn AS far as best photos I've seen on this site, our own Alberporter has posted by far the best. Its not porn, its art, or at least professional photography. He even made the ART/DIO dac look cool. | |
| Can anyone tell me about CD demagnatizers? Sounds like a bunch of hooey to me. | |
| Singer Songwriter John Mayer Heard him on late nigth talk show (Letterman or Leno) earlier this week. Liked what I heard. | |
| Mobile audio MP3/iPod/RioRiot, etc. I've been pretty happy with my Sony MD recorder/player. Can get nearly 5 hours on one minidisc with compression and even then sounds pretty good. With the ambient noise levels on airplanes its more than adequate. Battery life is extraordinary- I w... | |
| Is there an easy to use vcr? No, this is not. | |
| Audio Aero Capitole II with no serial numbers? Great minds think alike. | |

| Amp upgrade +or- 1,000 For that price you could be a McCormack DNA 0.5 Rev. A or maybe even a DNA 1.0 Rev. B. | |
| FM Antenna placement, wiring Simple answer is any passive antenna in your attic will likely outperform any amplified antenna in your basement. Use quad shield RG6. You may need transformers like the ones that come with your VCR if your older tuner only accepts 300 ohm flatlea... | |
| Busted Phillips Screws Great ideas guys. Another tried and true method on breaking the grip of a "frozen" fastener is to tap the end of the screwdriver firmly but not too hard, when sitting in the slotted head. | |
| Is a offer of -20 percent on an OBO ad insulting? OBO means offers are being solicited. No, but I will take X is far easier to type and much more appropriate than the flaming you received. I vote for "putz" and agree that you are better off w/o him (esp. for a high availability item). | |
| Vandersteen 3ASigs amp? Well, BT, thats interesting. I happen to have a DNA1 rev b and a pair of .5s; one dlx and one rev B. Haven't really wanted to shell out for the upgrade on the second .5, but maybe I will. Course, any comparison would involve different ICs, I've go... |
