Any opinions about the Audioquest NRG-X3 (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0055ONLZC), for upgrading from a stock power cable, versus the PC-1.5 cable from Grant Fidelity (http://shop.grantfidelity.com/PC-1-5-Performance-Power-Cord.html)?  I tried asking at...

If you thought some headphones were big and ridiculous looking... check out these noise-reducing "ear muffs" I bought. I got them because I live in an apartment and I'm tired of hearing every footstep and slammed door of my neighbors. It reduces external noise by up to 33db, but I sure look...

Thanks for any expert advice on whether and how to ask for a hiring bonus or other contractual agreements on a job offer. I am 31 and graduating with a B.S. Computer Science degree from a respected college this summer (albeit their night college). I'm in the third round of a job interview...

Hi, I'm a newbie (check out my number of posts!) and have a gentleman that is building a Gilmore Lite for me. I asked him about cables and he said he just makes his own out of a quality mic cord that is Teflon-wrapped. Seeing that the prices can be so high for top-name cables, is the DIY...
