Hey I have a couple paradigm atom speakers that I want to mount on the wall. I'm in an apartment so I don't want to put any large holes in the walls but small ones are okay. Also, I don't have any mounting brackets or anything and the atoms have 2 holes on the back and a little sticker that says...

Hey guys I'm looking to get a new pair of headphones. I've had the Grado SR-80s for a couple years and they've really broken down. I've been satisfied with them, but I'm looking for a new pair that doesn't have the open-air design but still sounds good. I don't like disturbing people when I...

Hey I got a pair of paradigm atoms, and I have my receiver back home (I'm at college) and was just wondering if there is anyway to hook up my speakers straight to my PC and use my PC as an amplifier? Thanks Eric

Hahaha License to Wed. I was gonna mention Transformers, but hey I think that one takes the cake. Actually Transformers did have some cool action... Eric

Hey guys I just noticed today that my receiver (Panasonic SA-XR50) has two terminals in the back for "B Speakers" and you can choose to turn them on or not in the front. What would these be used for? Thanks Eric

If you don't mind me asking, what in tarnation are you guys talking about? The color of the tie? Anyway, yeah I need to actually shorten the cord for my application, it's very specific. So I cut the wire, solder it together, and then put heat shrink over the top, is that correct...

Alright thanks for the response. Some follow up questions: 1. Should I use the same plug, or buy a new one? 2. Where do I apply the heat shrink, on the plug or on the wire, or just all over everything? Thanks

Hey I have a pair of crappy headphones and I plan to use them for a project I'm doing, but I need the cord to be about half as long. Would it be easy to just snip the wire and reconnect the plugin? Is there any instructions on this, because it would seem like a pretty simple procedure but maybe...

Does everybody here buy their cds new from amazon and best buy, or do you guys shop around on ebay or another place that lets you get cheaper cds? I'm wondering if there are some better alternatives to the typical music seller (amazon). Eric

Sweet I knew you guys would help. Thanks a ton. Eric

Hey guys this is a weird question, but I'm not a member of any Arts and Crafts forums so I'd figure I would ask it here before I go through a whole regristration process for one question. Anyway, my question relates to a hat that I have. I didn't like the iron on patch on the front of it, so...

Thanks a ton.

Hey guys I have my bed right next to my 5.1 set up. I was thinking it would be awesome to wake up to a song playing in 5.1. Is there anyway to auto turn on my receiver? Thanks a ton Eric

Hey this is a really off-topic question, but I figured there are a lot of smart people on this forums. I have a large shower (it is handicap sized) and I was wondering is there anyway I could like plug the drain and somehow turn it into a super small bath (like 6 inches of water maybe??) Is this...

Haha, I was joking (guess you can't get that from the text). I love this forums!! Thanks for the help Eric

Man, why do I post on such pessimistic forums??? I went to radioshack, bought a europe to us antenna adapter, and I'm watching tv on my projector now. Just thought I'd let you all know Eric

Haha you guys are both wrong. It's a Phillips FTR-9964. It's not that old. I'm positive that is supposed to go to television too, and I do not think it is broken broken, but maybe so.

So can I just buy another one, or is it like broken broken?

Alright, so I purchased this receiver type box off ebay and it is missing an antenna to coaxial adapter of some kind, because I know the cable connection is supposed to go here. Can anybody tell me what type of adapter I need? Thanks a ton Eric

Thanks for the website, I'm digging it.

Hey guys, I'm not a huge music listener (mostly movies and video games), but I'm looking for some new artists to listen to. I'm a huge rage against the machine fan, and I love their guitar riffs and vocal style. I'm just wondering if anybody knows of any similar groups or another group with...

Never mind, it was a computer setting, I'm back to blowing my neighbors ear drums out thanks a ton guys!!

Hi guys, I had my surround sound system all setup perfectly and everything was working until I rearranged my room and now for some reason my subwoofer is incredibly quiet. It is a velodyne CT-120, a very boomy sub normally, but now when I output sound from my computer to my receiver it is quiet...

Haha. I was thinking the same thing, until I found these forums. It might change your mind. http://lumenlab.com/forums/?ref= It's pretty sweet and I'll let you guys know if I ever finish this. Eric

Because I have a super cool 4th period teacher and it's finals week, the 4 people in my stats class (all the seniors had graduated) were playing Halo on the school projector. Now I was looking at this cheap, old projector, and I got to thinking that there is probably a way to build one that...

Hey thanks guys. If I end up joining a band and becoming world famous I'll thank you guys personally. Haha. Thanks a ton Eric

Hey guys, I love listening to guitar, especially electric guitar, and I always die when I hear a great guitar solo, so I figured I would try to pick it up this summer since I have nothing better to do. I don't have a lot of money to spend (about 150 on the guitar itself), cause I'm saving for...

Hey guys I was just curious about sound quality as far as mp3 players go. Would the sound quality improve if an mp3 player had a 1/8" stereo jack? Is there mp3 players out there that have a larger jack to put out better quality sound? On the actual mp3 player (yes I know headphones are like 90%...

Ok, should I face them towards the litsener or towards each other? Thanks

Hi all, I have direct-radiating rear speakers (paradigm atoms to be exact) and I know that I need to do some experimentation to figure out where they should be placed, and what direction they should be pointed. My question is, what type of sound (movies, music, exc.) should I be playing, and...
