    Making tweeters fit

    I have a pair of Sony SS-K90ED, had them for a while, only paid $50 as both tweeters were blown. I was thinking that it would be easy to pick up a new pair of tweeters but so far no luck. Searching again last week I found a post on an AV forum about swapping to a different tweeter, they were...

    Tidal fix shuffle on large play lists

    I had opened three issues with Tidal about this problem. If you have a large play list say over 1000 songs the shuffle feature was not even close to random play. It would only shuffle around the starting song. Sometimes I would scroll down the playlist so start a song just so it would shuffle...

    They looks cool, but I think I paid to much. What did I buy?

    Impulse buy on Ebay, they looks cool. These are the Ebay pics so the quality is not good, the actual units should arrive next week, 32 pounds each. I can see a blown cap, and they are not quite identical. My plan is to replace the blown cap, carefully check everything else out then follow the...
