#1 i'm getting random static on my computer audio, and it's most definitely coming from my sound card. basically, only some of the time for short periods of time, i would get a faint buzzing in the background, which then disappears back to nothing. so far, i found no pattern on why it would...

ok, now it's come to this as a summary the audio coming out of my speakers were scrumptious, as was the audio out of my headphones, but something new happened: i hear a ground loop noise from my speakers. I unplugged everything except the computer and speaker amp, and ground loop noise is...

ok, after some careful testing, i came to the conclusion that it's the computer. mainly because unplugged everything from the wall and computer, then plugged in the amp and computer together, then straight to the wall. buzzing sound was immediately heard when i hit the power button for the...

FOR CLIFFS VERSION, LOOK AT POST #4 Ok... i'm going to say this now: i have NO idea where to post this. it has to do with, well, all sorts of stuff. this is the closest thing i can think of. anyway, i have a 1212m on my computer, which is incidentally hooked up to a comcast box (for aux...

i put in another vote for the swans. those are basically the same thing as mine... well, almost. their woofer is a sidestep from mine, and my tweeter is superior, but the same company made all the drivers in my speakers and the swans. for the price, it's unbeatable. the quality is outstanding...

(sorry for the bad pic... flash is not cooperating with me today) got 2 computers running. one is hidden (the mac) and the PC is in plain view. once guitarcenter gets stock, i'll have in my hands a 1212m as a somewhat dedicated dac. mac mini 1.25ghz g4 1gb ram 4x dvd+/-rw amd athlon...

you'll want 1/4"(M)->RCA(F) adapters. two of them. then you can then use rca cables to an amp or a stereo RCA(M)->1/8"minijack(M) to the speakers or amp. if you really need, you can also buy a stereo minijack(F-F) coupler. oh, and if you don't get it, M=male, F=female. you can find these at your...

ooooook... after reading ALL that (whew), i have these things to say: both parties are guilty. the buyer was guilty of being what i would call a "dick". shows up unannounced, and does it in a very odd fashion. the seller didn't ship it on the promised day. in fact, he KEPT it for 5 days. in...

same with davis, but not nearly as bad. it hailed a bit this morning, got a bit of sun in the afternoon, and now it's only going to get really bad. i hope this goes away soon, but then, i'm also not looking forward to the summer heat

you can also add: mannheim steamroller - CLassical Gas (marked hdcd) mannheim steamroller - romantic melodies (marked hdcd) mannheim steamroller - romantic themes (marked hdcd) just an fyi to the people not sure how to find hdcd, the hdcd light as said before HAS to be on. just because...

hehe... kinda like me: me: yay! my headphones came!!! <anyone on my buddy list>: another one???!!!! <anyone on my buddy list>: so HOW many headphones have you gone through now??????!!!!!! me: uh... i lost count. hold on a sec... (dead silence for about 2 minutes) me: 7 in the past...

here's one: WARNING: Taking Placebo may raise your risk of diabetes. Talk to your doctor first before taking Placebo.

uh..... well, i'm sure the ad stuck out pretty well in that magazine. whether it was a good thing or not is beyond me

kinda running off of rick's idea: if it's MDF, take off the old veneer if you can and sand it down with a fine grit sandpaper. you know if the sandpaper's fine enough when the wood stops becoming "hairy" by feel. then you can just slap this on...

freezer's the best, although i tend not to leave it in there for too long. if i do, the soda will freeze over and could lose a whole ton of carbonation if opened. icing it won't give it that iced effect, but it sure isn't cold enough for my tastes. i say that anything that comes in a can and...

wow... that's small. well, since everyone's saying "knives are cool", i'm going to add my $.02 for knives: for $30, CRKT makes a decent bunch, as does Gerber. not only do they function well, they look pretty cool too. or if you're willing to go uh... $100-120 over budget, get the...

what??? internet's finally been made public? and who is that guy pictured above? is he supposed to be smart or somethign?

don't forget to look up gerber as well. i got a gerber multitool, and that thing is pretty robust. the blade is useless, though, as are any blades in any multitool. the scissors portion is stiff and does an extremely good job of cutting pretty much anything. and the squirt is essentially the...

hands down it's gotta be Backdraft (Hans Zimmer) for me. it's just plain wonderful. his past stuff is awesome up to around Gladiator. it just sucks that after that it's been either pretty good or really bad. at least The Last Samurai's on the good list
