    So I Found this Piece of "Art" in the Backyard Today...

    So I was outside spraying spiders that were hiding in hose faucets when I came across this: Yep, that's a pentagram in my yard with my brother's pale foot going through it as he destroys it. I understand that pentagrams have a good meaning (sometimes) and they're not always satanic, but...

    Fix for Photobucket Images not Showing up

    Well, I was browsing a flashlight forum that I like to visit every so often, and someone had a link to a Chrome extension that fixed the thing with Photobucket where, instead of showing the images, it would say some crap like, "upgrade your account to activate 3rd party hosting." I've been using...

    My New Little Toy!

    I decided to order a cheap GoPro knockoff (SooCoo C30) on Wednesday and it arrived on Friday. I ordered the knockoff for two reasons: 1. It was around $300 less than a Hero4 Silver and had pretty much the same specs. The only 2 problems with the C30 I can find are these: the C30's 4k is fake...

    "Remote" Channels of Onkyo TX-904 not Working

    Hi! I got an Onkyo TX-904 about a year ago from Craigslist, and when I got it the Remote channel wasn't working... there was sound coming out, but the volume knob did nothing. I kind of just let it slide, as I only had one pair of speakers back then. But, when I tried using it again today, I had...

    Where to Buy Turntable Dust Covers?

    I bought a Fisher MT-6410 off Craigslist for $100 a few months ago, and the dust cover is severely scratched. Not cracked, just scratched. I need a replacement cover, it can be glass or plastic, I don't care, but however it cannot cost a bazillion (200+) dollars. I checked evilBay and there is...

    How to get glued-in drivers out?

    I went to the thrift store a few days ago and left with a pair of DLK Model 1's for $35. After some Howard's Restore-A-Finish, followed up by some Feed-n-Wax, they looked really good! I glued neodymium magnets to the grill and nailed same nails into the speaker, which line up with the magnets on...

    Problem with my BPC Onkyo tx-904 receiver

    I knew this day would come... the day my Onkyo tx-904 receiver would crap out on me. Here's the story: I decided that tonight I would do some low-level listening. After listening to AC/DC Highway to Hell, I noticed the audio didn't sound "right". I just naturally thought it was the horrid...

    Canon or Nikon?

    I've noticed that there is a few photographers here, but even if you aren't a photographer, what brand of camera do you use? I, personally, like Nikon because they've kept the same lens mount for decades, so you can take almost any Nikon lens and put it on almost any Nikon camera. Also... if...

    I was scanning CL earlier and found some DCM Timepiece speakers for $25, about 1 hour and 48 minutes away. Is it worth it to drive 2 hours for these? Here's a picture from the listing:

    Need Loud & Low Speakers $350 or Under

    Hi! I've been on the market for some speakers that are loud and can go low. I just don't know which ones to get.... I've been looking at a few brands, like JBL, Klipsch, Infinity, CV, stuff like that. But, again, I have no idea what to get. My budget is $350 or under, but I can maybe extend it...

    Craigslist Speaker ID

    I was browsing the Free section of CL today, and I say this pair of large 3-way speakers. I just can't figure out what they are though. http://sandiego.craigslist.org/nsd/zip/5631995270.html Whatever they are, it looks like they have an up-firing driver... The white woofer and up-firing...

    Need Recommendations for Speaker Stands

    Since we are moving to our new (bigger) house in Valley Center, I'm going to have my OWN listening room (one that does not have all my dad's computer crap shoved in to it), and my system will be more than speakers with a wooden board across them with my turntable and receiver on top. It will...

    Worst Vinyl Fails You've Ever Seen

    I like threads like this, so I decided to make one. Post pictures of the worst vinyl fails you've seen, or just describe it if you didn't take pictures. I'll start off... I ordered a lot of 20 of vinyl records off eBay for $17, and this is one of the records that was broken and taped back...

    Best Place(s) to Find Audio Gear for Free in San Diego?

    I've been bitten by the speaker bug... again. I thought not being homeschooled anymore would cure the bite, but no. I just want to know... does anyone here who lives/lived in/near San Diego know the best places to find free audio gear? Any junk yards to visit? Any good dumpsters for dumpster...

    I was scanning evilBay this morning and saw an Optimus 10 band equalizer for $40 + free shipping. I was just wondering if it would be worth it for 40 bucks.

    Drop-in replacement woofer for Minimus 7?

    Hi! I got my first ever pair of Minimus 7's from the thrift store about a week ago, and after I took the grills off I noticed the woofers were moldy, and the surrounds are just absolutely gross; they have black powder on them that won't come off. And the grills are rusty, and I like them better...

    I made my first open "baffle" project today...

    And I love it! You'll see the photos and see why I put baffle in quotes. But anyways, I love these! It sounds like the vocalist is right in front of you, the cymbals are coming from somewhere in the back, and the guitar is very off to the side; something I never noticed with my regular box...

    My Very Sticky KLH Model 802's...

    Well, on Saturday I went to the thrift store, and, out of the corner of my eye, saw some no-name speakers. But, I also noticed the cabinets looked a bit like the Baby Advent cabinets, so I walked closer... and closer... and I saw one letter on the grill, it was an L. But, the L looked like the L...
