    Bose 901 equalizer jacks

    Never happened to any of my stereo equipment`s circuit board mounted RCA jacks since purchasing my first Monster Cable interconnects in 1987, and their RCA interconnects are used in ~98 % of my house`s 7 room`s stereo system cabling setups ! I guess that I`m lucky, or know how to carefully...

    The 6% commission on buying or selling a home is gone

    I always thought the song by Dire Straight`s 80ties hit song: "Money for Nothing" could be applicable to a lot of Realtors, IMO ! I was by happenstance in the early spring while helping my B-I-L install a TV antenna pole and antenna and observed the house next door to him a realtor pullup and...

    Just how many levels of DACs are there?? (Help me to get my next DAC)

    FWIW, my current and final selected DAC, using only its S/PDIF coax input, via a 4X1 S/PDIF switcher for use of my 4 separate digital music source`s selection flexibility is the well received and small form factor Pro-ject brand`s currently $499.00 Pre Box S2 Digital one that`s been operating...

    Rewiring DAT machine XLR socket

    FWIW, the recorder`s 5 pin XLR, seems to provide 1 common ground for either a balanced line level input or a balanced microphone input as the label next to it might imply, since all 5 pins of the jack have wires soldered to the jacks pins with the one common shield (ground) connected.

    Yeah, and the shelf above it is getting kiln dried in use, even with this open rack construction, the shelf above it bottom has to be getting pretty warm with only several inches above it and after a considerable time of operation, I suspect the bottom of the shelf above coloring might be taking...
