I'm hoping for some help with a puzzling problem. I have three computers at home (an iMac and two MacBooks), as well as four other devices that connect to my wireless network (an iPhone, an iPod Touch, a Wii and a Blu-Ray player). I'm using an Airport Express as my wireless router and, until...

This is a wonderful, sweet-sounding, 20 Watts per channel tube amplifier that really sings, with plenty of real-world power when matched with the right speakers. The unit is about a year old, purchased directly from Jolida, and the tubes have less than 100 hours of playing time on them. It's...

iPod, meet the Concertino... :D "What is unique about Concertino is the combination of highest quality sound, an amazingly small size and modern design. It is not a piece of technical equipment. Instead, it decorates the interior of your living room or your office. And the warm glow...

Can someone give me a quick rundown on the difference? I currently use WEP, I cancelled SSID broadcasting and I restricted MAC addresses. I only know enough about this stuff to be dangerous, however. Should I be WAPping instead of WEPping? :D

Based on the recommendation of a friend, I bought Hiromi's Brain (Decca) CD (also available as an SACD). She's a young, inventive, dextrous pianist who plays an interesting combination of jazz (good) and new age (not my thing), mostly acoustic but with electronic flourishes (also not...

Inspired by another thread... What's your idea of a great movie/meal/beverage combo? One of my choices would be something along the lines of The Magnificent Seven, a nice bowl of avgolemono soup with pita slices and saganaki, and a frosty Old Speckled Hen. Or, a spin of In the Mood For Love...

Pristine condition, purchased brand new and kept in top condition in a non-smoking home. Shipped in original carton with all manuals, remote and accessories. Asking $325 double-boxed, insured and shipped in the continental US. Reply here or PM if interested. References available. Photos...

Anyone have a good source for purchasing the R3 version of this film (Shaw Brothers, 1978)? Looks like R1 is out-of-print and inferior to R3.

A few weeks ago I posted a thread about a recent book called "Kill Your Idols," in which most of the sacred cows of "classic rock" (and a few more recent "classics") are rounded skewered by younger critics. Not quite Lester Bangs writing about Astral Weeks, if you know what I mean. Well, at...

I hope this question doesn't violate forum rules. I need a capture of the image from Spinal Tap wherein the band and Jeanine are looking up at the marquee at the amusement park. You know the "Spinal Tap first, puppet show last" gag. It's for a lecture. Any help appreciate in advance if you...

I've been a member of C. House for about a decade, and haven't really purchased much from them in the last few years. I noticed that they no longer seem to have any classical selections. Did they stop stocking these? Is there a separate club for classical music now? Curious...

A tournament of quotations. I don't care whom you quote, and fictional persons (even HTFers) are eligible. Specific quotes preferable, but attributed and apocryphal quotes are OK unless someone balks and provides a good argument against (not that something like that would ever happen around...

Do all of these programs control volume output directly through the system volume? That is, could you set the system volume at a constant level but still vary the volume output of these programs.

Selling a Sony STR-DA2ES, aka Sony 2ES, in pristine condition. Has been used for 1 year as a pre-amp/processor. This is a stellar unit, which serves well as either a pre-/pro- or as a stand-alone AVR. There are 4 years remaining on the ES warranty. The unit was purchased from a large, popular...

Admins: please relocate this thread to another area of HTF if you see fit. Any interest in a new area for digital audio hardware/software? Rio Cali 256 MB .mp3 Player This is my post-5K review of the Rio Cali 256 MB, a portable digital music player designed with the active sort in mind...

Less than 1 month old, in absolutely pristine condition. This is a 2 channel amplifier (45 Watts x 2) that can be bridged to 100 Watts x 2 for stereo. Will be shipped in original carton, with instruction manual and (unfilled) Warranty Card. There are 2 years of coverage through Harman. A...

Don't laugh. Trying to use the on-line Clip Art gallery from within Power Point XP, but when I try to search the gallery the site keeps telling me that I'm not configured to accept cookies. That's funny, because I am. Nothing seems to fix this, even disabling EZ Firewall. Any suggestions?

OK, I'm bored. Just heard Counting Crows cover of the Dead's "Friend of the Devil." Dig the Crows, love the song, hate their cover; seems to squeeze the spark out of the song entirely. I was wondering how folks like their cover tunes. Do you like a complete reimagination? Do you like a...

This unit was purchased from and shipped (March, 2004) directly from Harman and the box has never been opened. Refurbished, but carries the full manufacturer's warranty as if brand new. Four-channels, bridgable. See the specs here: http://www.harmankardon.com/product_...202000&sType=C...

You're making a mix-CD for all your buddies on HTF. Maybe not your favorite tunes, but some stuff you'd want everone to try. What 10-15 songs are on it? Mine: The Velvet Underground, "I'm Waiting for the Man"The Beatles, "Here, There and Everywhere"Emmylou Harris, "Where Will I Be"Simon and...

A few weeks ago, I began getting this message multiple times per day while using Internet Explorer: A Runtime Error has occurred. Do you wish to debug? Line: 37 Error: Expected identifier I also choose "No" and continue on my merry way. What gives? Is the computer mad at me?

Folks: I have the individual albums on CD, all of which are labelled "Digitally remastered from the original master tape by JP and GM at Sterling Sound." They're in standard jewel cases, and no issue year is indicated except for the issue year of the original LP (e.g., 1970 for LZIII). Are...

http://www.homecinemachoice.com/cgi-...?reviewid=3695 A frequent question around these parts is what to choose as a decent entry-level receiver. This is a fairly interesting read, if you put stock in 'professional' reviews. Compared are: Denon 1804 JVC RS-8032VSX Marantz SR4400 Onkyo...

I have two computers networked at home, sharing a broadband connection through a wired router (glad the house is Cat5 wired; had little idea I'd ever use it). Now, I'm adding another computer (laptop) with a wireless card. What will I need to keep my wired computers and the wireless connected...

I'm replacing my laptop, a Dell Inspiron. I use the machine primarily for PowerPoint presentations with heavy graphics, audio and moving images. I typically build the presentations on my desktop (a PC) and then bring them over to the laptop. I'm considering an Apple laptop, but I need to...

I have a set of coupons which I won't be using. In the spirit of good karma, I will mail them to someone (first-come, first-served). The coupons are for discounts on new CD's by Puddle of Mudd, Tupac, Sting, Toby Keith, Limp Bizkit, Nickelback, No Doubt, Rolling Stones, Blink 182, Sheryl...

Picked up Blood on the Tracks, and I'm not certain how I feel about the CD layer remaster. Guess I'm just so used to the vinyl and the earlier CD. It sounds great, no doubt, but do I like it? Not sure. Can't comment on the SACD layer. Opinions sought!... :D

Any reviews will be greatly appreciated. Does anyone have a setlist for 10/18 or a link to it? Also, what's the status of the Everly Brothers/S&G? Update: www.simonandgarfunkel.com had most of what I was looking for.

I'm reconfiguring the 2-channel system in my office. I'll be using my PC as a jukebox for .wav and .mp3 playback, and outputting the signal to a receiver or integrated amp, depending on the information I learn here. This is the question. When playing .wav files on a PC in this type of set-up...
