I wasn't happy with the sound (volume) I was getting out of my laptop when hooking it up to my receiver through the headphone output (I had to crank the volume to get any output on my receiver) so I bought a Turtle Beach USB soundcard with optical out, I thought it might fix that problem. I...

My problem is that I wish to connect my laptop to my receiver to listen to mp3s, and I tried going from the headphone 2.5 mm jack to RCA cable to my receiver, and it worked of course, but it's just very quiet. I feel I'm pushing my receiver to try to get decent volume out of my computer. So...

I'm working on a spreadsheet for a work schedule and want to know if there's a way to calculate total number of hours for each employee per week when it's set up something like this: Monday Tuesday Wed Thurs Friday Pete: 9-2, 7-3, 7-3, OFF, 9-5, etc.. At first I used...

I can't for the life of me figure out how to place a line over a letter in wordperfect 12. I'm taking an electronics course and I'm trying to represent the compliment of a variable, and I want to overline it as opposed to the apostrphe in my lab reports, but I can't figure out how. Just...

If this is in the wrong forum I apologize, but I've seen other homework-related threads in here. My program has to do with sports stats. The user will enter a game's results in the format: team1,team2,score1,score2, E.g. blue,red,11,16, I need to write a function that reads this input...

My offers of acceptance have to be in by May 14th and I haven't decided yet. I have applied for Electrical Engineering and have received offers from Queen's University and the University of Ottawa. (I know Waterloo is the place to go for engineering from what I understand.. but they're still...

I had my teeth cleaned today and I must say that I would rather get my tooth drilled without freezing than experience that any time soon. It felt like someone put a nail on one of those spinning toothbrushes and shoved it into my gums. Plus my teeth are sensitive, so even spraying all that cold...

I purchased some Paradigm speakers about a year ago and really have no complaints about them. To my ears they sound great. At the same time, I really don't know very much about them as far as where they stand amongst the current Paradigm lineup. The only thing I really know about them is what's...

First a little background information: My receiver is a Panasonic SAHE70, and my main speakers are Paradigm Compact Monitors (6-ohms, bi-ampable). My receiver powers my speakers to acceptable levels, but I feel like I'm pushing it sometimes when playing movies/music moderately loud. I...

A while back I upgraded my Sony speakers to some Paradigm Monitors that I feel I got for a good price. My only complaint is that I have an entry level receiver, a Panasonic SAHE70, which I am mostly satisfied with. My concern is now that I have to turn the volume up louder on the receiver to...

I was just wondering if anyone had any advice for a student who wishes to purchase a cell phone. Every option seems so expensive, especially for a student who just wants to be able to keep in touch and be reachable. (I always miss out on stuff because the phone is busy, or something...)...

I'm taking an Algebra and Geometry class through correspondance and I'm having some troubles with a couple questions... 52. If vector a and vector b are unit vectors and the angle (theta) between them is 120 degrees, calculate (5a-b)*(a+b) The second question is pretty much the same...

I was offered a pair of Paradigm Compact Monitors after posting an ad for used speakers. I was curious if anyone had an opinion on these speakers, as I've never heard of the compact monitor before. You can see pictures and specs of this speaker here I was also sent a picture of the logo on the...

... still a driver that's out of my pricerange, but has anyone been anticipating this or have any future plans involving this new driver. Just curious. Adire Sadhara (this is the Canadian Adire dealer by the way, so that's 509 Canadian) - Andrew

Just thought I'd share that Creative Sound Solutions have Tempests listed at $215 CDN shipped. I've been watching the price closely and I think I just might get me another one for my 9 x 9 bedroom :) And if it's against the rules to advertise like I did, I apologize.Here Andrew

I always read of people power their subs with plate amps, etc,. but I can't afford to shell out the cost for a plate amp, so I just use an old Pioneer receiver. I was wondering if anyone else was in the similar situation? Thanks, Andrew

Alright I just moved my Tempest back into my room from the car where I had it for about a month or so. In the car it was up-firing, in my room it was forward firing. The Tempest worked perfectly both ways... except now that I moved it back into my room for home theater and have it...

Alright.. I know you're all probably tired of recommendation posts, but here's just one more. I currently have a JVC XV521 that doesn't wanna play some of my disks. I've tried cleaning it and it hasn't helped. So as far as I know.. I'm in the market for a new DVD Player in the $200 range...

Was wondering if anyone could give me any ideas? I'm in grade 12 chemistry and the assignment is to perform a chemistry "magic show" for elementary students (grades 4 and up). Our teacher will give us the appropriate chemicals or materials (depending of course on safety and $$$), we just need...

I've decided to ask my parents for a new pair of speakers for my upcoming birthday and have it narrowed to these two (still open to suggestions though). I must state that I live in Canada, so before you advise me to spend a little extra, keep in mind that although they cost less in the U.S...

I have a birthday coming up, and was thinking of asking my parents for a pair of Paradigm Titans to replace my sony speakers (or a paintball gun, not sure yet). I know this is more of a question to ask a dealer, but I just wanted to know what kind of price (canadian $$$) to expect when I walk...

Just curious, I know many people have had good results ordering Adire products from creativesound.ca (I myself bought my Tempest from them last summer with good results), but I was wondering if anyone had ever ordered anything besides Adire from them? Has anyone ever tried to build any of their...

I'm sorry if this is inappropriate for this forum, but I tried asking this at car audio forums and find the help much better here :) I thought it might be acceptable to ask here since many of you are familiar with Adire subs. Alright, my Tempest sub in the car is too big (5.25 cubes), so I...

I don't know if I spelled it right, but I remember watching a show when I was younger (maybe about 7 or so years ago) called the Odyssey where this boy fell out of a treehouse and was in a coma. While dreaming, he was in this world overrun by kids, supposedly after all the adults "had left". I...

I placed an ad at canuckaudiomart.ca looking for some budget speakers, and was offered a pair of Paradigm Phantoms with stands for $250 CDN. They're from 1997 and look to be great condition (based on the pictures). These are the 2-way 8inch woofer and 1" tweeter version. They would be replacing...

I was offered a pair of older paradigm speakers with blown tweeters for $30. I don't know what model they are, but the guy said they were older (10-12 years) and that everything worked fine except for the blown tweeters. I haven't seen them (I placed an ad looking for paradigm speakers in hopes...

I ultimately plan on going to school to become an electrical engineer after high school, and was wondering if I need biology. I know chemistry, math, etc, are needed, but what about biology? I only ask because monday I start my second semester and my classes are grade 12 chemistry (took 11 this...

I eventually want to build a shiva sonosub and I've browsed the various sonosub pages, and still can't figure out how you cut the endcaps so EXACT that it fits just inside the sonotube. Does anyone have any tricks as to how you do this? Thanks, Andrew Edit: Forgive the missing "cut" in the...

Alright, as for budget receivers for a high school student in Canada, I think I've come down to two choices: 1. JVC RX-7520 - http://www.jvc.ca/en/consumer/produc...del=RX-7520VBK It's on sale at Futureshop.ca for $299 CDN. I AM however, having trouble finding some accurate specs on this one...

I figured since Christmas was around the corner and I just got a new Tempest in my room, I could ask my parents for new receiver to replace my old Sony Pro-Logic. Now I need to know which one to ask for. The budget is around $300 CDN. Also, my mom's a travel agent at Sears and gets a discount...
