    Best Smartphone for audiophile Part II (Updated: Jan 2020)

    Thank you kindly for the reply. I had seen your list previously, thank you. The issue is that many of those phones are not carried by U.S. carriers, and the LG V60 you mentioned (as a current LG owner, I had looked) plus the M51 are not 5G capable, which T-Mobile is pushing us towards...

    Best Smartphone for audiophile Part II (Updated: Jan 2020)

    Which brings me to my problem. I indeed have a V30 and have been told by my carrier that I need to buy a new phone, they are ending support for some of the calling features. Carrier is T-Mobile, and I'm looking at midrange Android phones with SD card support, so no OnePlus 8, etc. The new...

    Secret Scam of Cheap Earbuds

    Quote: I recall reading a story about the Milwaukee Pabst factory, and the attempts at redevelopment, much earlier this year, so I believe he is referring to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pabst_Brewing_Company

    Rant against wireless routers without external antennas. Arrgg with Linksys WRT310N

    Quote: +6  IMHO Linksys products are extremely, highly overrated.  I can give the aforementioned comment a "+6" because that's (at least) how many failed Linksys products I've replaced in my own, and customer's, installations.  They overheat, their power supplies are undependable, their...

    I hate DVD's with forced previews!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Quote: Hit EJECT.  Then reload the disk into the drive.  As the disk is spinning up hit STOP, then MENU.    In the case of disks like that, you must interrupt the load code during the initial startup.  As the disk is being initially read STOP so that the player does not disable the...

    I hate DVD's with forced previews!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Silly people..  You can ALWAYS skip the ads and previews on a DVD.   Simply hit "STOP" then "MENU".  Works every time, even on Disney titles (the known worst previews offender).

    Petition: I would like the old site back (or other choice)

    Quote: Wow, dude, miss the point often?   It has NOTHING - repeat, NOTHING - to do with whether or not the API is open source.  Did I mention that issue at all?   Nope.   The ISSUE is that the Yahoo API is completely JavaScript and AJAX-dependent, versus the previous vBulletin...

    Quote: Huh?!  I believe this is because most of you are using a non-color calibrated workflow.   On my calibrated screens this forum is now all pastel blue-grays.  The main background reads as e7eaf0 an extremely pale blue-gray (231:234:240 in RGB).  The post headings are a...

    Reading reviews with a bag of salt?

    ALL reviews must be "taken with a grain of salt".  ALL - every single one.   A review is a personal opinion, nothing more.  The problem with personal opinions as reviews is that the principle of the review is comparison : one item against another.  The issue with such a comparison is How...

    Best record cleaner

      Quote: The Discwasher was always "like corduroy".  I used them back from 1986 - wood and "corduroy" it was then, as well.   After a quick look at the "new" Discwasher (that would be "new new" Discwasher, because the 1980's Discwashers were "new" (a mod of previous versions) as...

    Best record cleaner

    Many years ago, the best record cleaner pad system out there was Signet's (the high-end division of Audio Technica).  Unlike the simple felt pad of the Discwasher, the Signet pad was made up of a felt pad with small, semi-stiff nylon bristles that were slightly longer than the felt interspersed...

    non-working temp gauge, non-working fuel gauge + CHeck Engine light on = ?

    Sorry, guys, IMHO (and experience) only NightOwl probably got it right. It is simply a short. Either in the dashboard's circuit board on the rear of the panel or in the ground plane / wiring leading to it, especially if it's an '88. And double-especially if it's an '88 GM vehicle.
