    Arrgh...stuck phone button!

    Okay--classic after hours post. I have an older cordless phone that works great EXCEPT the #9 button now sticks. I have to press hard to get it to work and sometimes it presses twice, which is a real hassle with long pin numbers that go awry. It's long out of warranty, but I don't want to...

    Upgrade lenses?

    I'm starting to get the itch to upgrade the lenses for my Canon Rebel 2K. Currently I have the stock Canon 28-80 and 80-200 set--no USM or L series etc, just the basics--and a Sigma 105 (2.8) macro EX that I use for portraits and macro work. The Sigma's a keeper, but I also want to extend the...

    Turntable Physics

    I was curious if any of the vinylphiles could explain how turntable suspensions work to either keep good sound in or keep bad sound out. Specifically I've seen tables with 3 or 5 point suspensions that seem to couple the arm and platter; tables where the arm and platter were separate but the...

    Are there any earlier generation HDTV receivers that are worth buying used/refurb/closeout? I'm talking about OTA, not necessarily with an NTSC tuner--bare bones to play with on a projection system capable of HDTV through component input (yes I know about HDCP/DVI, etc). Looking for something on...

    Do HT receivers work better with fewer channels used?

    I have a couple of questions about how HT receivers work. I have a receiver that rates the power output differently for stereo vs. 5.1 HT applications. 1) Does this suggest that there is a "pool" of amplifier power available and that the power output is determined by the application? 2)...

    Sacrifices at the Altar of Transparency

    I've reached the point with my system where the good CDs sound really good, and the bad ones can sound really bad. Unfortunately, I have a lot of favorites in the "bad" sounding pile. When you reach this point do you start weeding out your collection? Relegating some for car use only? Suddenly...

    Centerpin coax connectors any good?

    The new RadioShack.com catalog came today and in it was a listing for Centerpin connectors. These are solderless, crimpless connectors that work with RG-6 and RG-59 cables and terminate into RCA connectors. Has anyone tried this with success? If they're any good it might be a cheap way for folks...
