Arrrrgggg.... As it turns out, Congress still has, as granted by the Constitution, the right and power to issue "Letters of Marque and Reprisal". http://news.yahoo.com/s/politico/200904 ... tico/21245 This isn't the first time Ron Paul has suggested we use Letters of Marque to rein in...

from a site associated with the "LOLcats site, "ROFLrazzi":

This pile is $1 million dollars (100 packets of $10,000) Here is $1 Billion (That's bundles on a standard-sized shipping pallet...) And finally, here is what $1 Trillion looks like. BTW, those pallets are double stacked. That little "tick mark" in the lower left hand side of the graphic is...

I guess the secret is no longer secret. They're throwing it in our faces now. Even the stodgy "Financial Times", one of the last bastions of "free market" journalism, is publishing articles explaining how "world government" is not only possible given the current technology, political climate...

I was wondering if anyone had any knowledge of the suitability of using a mic amp as a phono preamp? Mics and some cartridges ave similarly low outputs, and I thought maybe this might be a possibility, especially with some of the studio mic preamps that have variable, user-adjustable loading...

So I was wondering if there is any general consensus on dust cover position during playback on a TT. If you've got a hinged dust cover, should it be up (open), down (closed), or taken off the hinges during playback, to minimize vibrations being transmitted to the TT from soundwaves and other...

OK, here's my problem. My turntable literature says that with the tonearm that's on it, I need to have the overhand at 15mm. However, I've got a non-stock headshell (Sumiko), and even with the cartridge set all the way forward in the mounting slots, I can only get th eoverhand out to about...

OK, I've got my turntable set up and dialed in. Most of my good-quality "general issue" and ALL of my "regular weight" audiophile pressings that I've listened to so far sound VERY good. But I have a copy of Johnny Cash's "American V: A Hundred Highways on 180g vinyl that I bought new at a record...

Yet another financier has disappeared, along with all the money from his clients. I give you, the latest member of the Financial Rogues Gallery: Arthur G. Nadel A 75-year-old Hedge fund manager in Sarasota FL seems to have disappeared into thin air, along with an estimated $350 MILLION of...

On the cover of the New York Post recently... 'nuff sed...

I was wondering if anyone had any experience with the VanDenHul "The First" or "The Second" non-metal ICs? I've heard mixed reviews, and wondered if anyone has owned or auditioned them. There are no dealers anywhere close to me that carry them... --Richard

I was watching CNN Sunday night, and Don Lemon was the anchor, interviewing several people about the Gaza situation, and Israel's ground incursion, and he had a fellow on named Brigadier General David Grange to discuss this at about 6:24pm. Here is how the interview started: LEMON: And the...

A member of the Carver Forum recently posted this picture of some speakers he purchased a few years ago. The person he purchased them from told him he didn't know what they were, but they might be some sort of prototype Martin Logan. Personally, I think they are some sort of home-made speakers...

Well, I was in Raleigh NC today, and stopped by the Best Buy/Magnolia to see if they had any of the new MLs on display, and they DID have the Source on the floor. They were hooked up to a BIG Denon receiver, and a Denon DVD player, so I didn't expect much, but they sounded pretty good. I was...

The panel on my left Sequel is slipping down. I've tried removing the original black double-sided foam tape and replacing it with new double-sided foam tape, and it just slid down again after about 3 weeks. I don't want to use the little "bracket trick" that has been discussed here. I want to...

OK, After functioning as the unofficial "AV system joke" for the last few months with my trifling little 27" Sylvania TV, I finally broke down today and went out abd bought a proper TV befitting of the rest of my system. I picked up a Toshiba 42LX177 42" LCD TV (1080p, 120Hz). Its a little too...

I have a friend who is a pawn broker, and he just took in a pair of Grommes-Precision G-101A amps. I was wondering if any of you guys knew anything abou this amp, like is is mono or stereo. My friend says they are in excellent condition cosmetically, and they do power up and work, but I imagine...

Spending time indulging what may be the ONLY hobby that I have that is virtually without stress--kite-flying... Got a new box kite and some funky tails, and had a VERY relaxing afternoon on top of the Jockey Ridge dune...

I just got a pretty good deal on an older Velodyne sub (F-1500 B) in cherry condition, and I'm trying to get it to sound right (not too boomy) with my original Sequels. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions as to where I might start (as a sort of off-the-cuff baseline) on the crossover...
