Honestly, sometimes I think my audio pals and my firearm buddies are cut from the same cloth; when the prices on firearms and ammunition spiked a couple years back, they were all going nuts, paying crazy prices, convinced that the end was nigh and prices would never come back down. Of course...

Truly impressive! And I feel much less the hoarder now.

Based on what I have been hearing from my friends who buy Russian-made goods such as firearms, recent sanctions against Russia will be resulting in severe restrictions on Russian imports to the USA and other countries. Not being political, I am only offering a recommendation based on recent...

Well, I got the backs off. Both woofers needed to be refoamed. I believe the cast woofers are 6.5 inch and the 6.5 inch surrounds I purchased arrived, so I was good to go. I did notice that my replacements were a tiny bit too large. They measured 5.25 inches from the top of the roll to the...

They were high-end speakers. Very expensive in their day.

Bingo. For some reason, it's hard to convince anyone of that, though. They see water on a label and freak out. It's water, folks. It dries. Get over it.

It's rooted in English Common Law. I sincerely doubt it will be thrown out in all US states. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statute_of_limitations "The purpose and effect of statutes of limitations is to protect defendants. There are three reasons that support the existence of statutes of...

Watch the video. Some states do not have a statute of limitations on stolen vehicles. This one apparently does. I believe it is a civil matter; the rightful owners will have to sue in court to regain possession.

You can go with a simple miniplug-to-RCA adapter, such as those available from Radio Shack and elsewhere. Couple of bucks. If you aim for somewhat higher quality, you can go with a DAC at any price point you feel comfortable with, going from USB on your laptop to RCA outputs to route into your...

Good advice! You can remove the white 'stuff' with white vinegar on q-tips. The stuff is highly alkaline, and vinegar is acidic. They will react and neutralize each other. Best of luck.

I enjoy digital and I enjoy analog. However, having said that, once an analog source is moved to the digital domain, especially if it was compressed to do so (MP3, etc), what was lost cannot be put back by copying it back to an analog source. In other words, it won't be the same as it was...

I don't think you quite grasped what I said. In the US, we have something called the Statute of Limitations, which basically sets limits on how long after a particular crime a person can be criminally prosecuted for something. The particulars of the law vary from state to state. Murder, as an...

Title establishes ownership for purposes of licensing. It is not a requirement for ownership, neither is a bill of sale. Granted that without a title, the current owner can do nothing with the vehicle, including driving it on public roads. But one does not need title to retain possession of a...

If I understood the text of the article correctly, the statute of limitations is up on the stolen car. The current owner cannot be prosecuted for a crime, which means the police can't do anything. It is a civil matter. The previous owner can sue to regain title and then get a court order to...

I have enjoyed that show from time to time, although I don't watch much TV in general.
