    Looking 4 wearable or 'around the neck' speakers!

    I would like to be able to purchase small, wearable stereo speakers (that sound decent for use with my MP3 player) for when i'm cycling or jogging (so I can be more aware of my surroundings). Are there any that you wear 'around the neck' or as you would headphones (but not quite touching or...

    Bookshelf speakers

    Check out the x-ls bookshelf speaker by av123. Here is a pic: http://www.av123.com/products_produc...s&product=82.1 They're garnered rave reviews, and are easily the best speaker 200 dollars can buy. I own a pair. They're incredible, and sound like monitors costing several times more.

    A good classical music CD for a beginner?

    Purchase a good classical 'sampler' with various composers. You can't go wrong this way.

    Losing our dog

    GAD, i'm so sorry man! I'm reading your posts and literally shedding tears. I've wanted a dog all of my life (my father never let us have one), and finally got my first 10 years ago at age 36 after getting married. I cannot begin to tell you how much I love dogs, and mine in particular. She is a...

    Do you bring your outdoor tropical plants in for the winter?

    Or do you just get new ones every year? In past years, I brought my 6 or so medium to large sized potted tropical plants on the patio indoors for the winter, but noticed many more spiders in the house over the next few months after doing so. This year, we're concerned about bringing unwanted...

    Genealogical research - a question

    Wasn't there a recent genome study (National Geographic?) that examined DNA and determined we're all *originally* from Tanzania, Africa or something like this?

    Best carpet cleaning liquid or solution for urine on carpet?

    Let me explain. Our 2 year old is in the middle of being 'potty trained', and although she does use her potty HALF the time, it's the other times that have wreaked havoc on our bedroom carpets. We got this Bissell carpet cleaning machine, but we can't seem to find a good, effective carpet...

    Fire at San Diego, anyone live here

    I followed this past summer's huge wildfires in Greece, since my parents were vacationing there. And now these in Cali. Terrible!

    Looking 4 good site to explain HDTV, 4:3, 16:9, 'widescreen', etc.!

    I'm trying to understand the concepts of HDTV, picture resolution, and aspect ratios. Is there a good website that describes all of these terms, and/or shows examples? The one thing that also confuses me is that when I watch over-the-air HD programming (such as the Indians-Red Sox game on FOX)...

    Marantz CD5001, HD595, amp suggestions?

    You're welcome! Actually, you probably know as much about this stuff as I do. I believe that the sound we get out of our 595's is dependent on the quality of the built-in headphone amp on the 5001, or if you decide to go with an external headphone amp, the quality of it AND your interconnects. A...

    EVS-modded Oppo

    Thanks for the link! I've had a new OPPO DV-980H for a few weeks now, and I think it sounds real good through my Magneplanars. I can't imagine what it would sound like after being modded.
