    LOST season 2 discussion thread......

    Just my two cents, The dharma logo in the shark from the previous chapter doesn't have the swan in it, it's a complete different symbol, i guess it belongs to the division working in animal research. Another thought, What if they aren't in the electromagnetic division but in the psychological...

    Hi Steve, like Bob said, both connections will work, (maybe you want to try both of them for a while and decide which one you prefer), just remember two things: If you connect your subwoofer by the rca input, configure your receiver to subwoofer on, set a crossover frequency that you like and...

    Mini survellience camera Recording to VCR

    Why don’t you check your VCR’s user’s manual, maybe your VCR is unable to record from two different sources and it automatically chooses one over the other. You can also try to connect one device at a time, for example, connect your camera first and try recording, once it works, connect your vcr...

    SPL meter software for a laptop

    I was recently wondering the same thing; I downloaded a free trial of cool edit 2000 and notice a level meter in the bottom of the screen, which can be set at 75, 90 and 120 dB, but as it also depends on which microphone you’re using I’m not sure if it will work. I’m sure some one here can be...

    Is loud bass as damaging to your ear as loud treble?

    Be very careful, bass can be most dangerous than higher frequencies. It doesn’t mean that bass can make more damage than the highest frequencies, is just that it won’t be as unpleasant to hear as treble but it is doing the same damage to you. There are a lot of heavy industries here were I...

    A crossover question

    Thanks a lot Greg you really take me out of my trouble, I think I have already figured out what was going on. Since the sub that I was connecting to my speakers is an active one, and the crossover’s cutoff frequencies are not absolute but just a reference number (I’ve heard that in the simple...

    Speaker set-up

    I don’t know what the fixed THX option is about, I Think THX standard sets the crossover frequency at 80 HZ, but I’m not sure what else could this option do. Putting this option aside I suggest you to put them either in 80 or in 60 HZ, anyway just listen to some material with lot of bass in it...
