    Best, reasonably priced, programmable remote?

    I can barely keep track of the 5 remotes in my H/T setup. My wife can't figure them out at all. What the best programmable remote without going much over say $125? I'm sure this problem has been solved by others, although I searched and couldn't find any applicable posts! Thanks in advance.

    R.I.P. Ginger Baker

    Died at the age of 80... He had many long term diseases. He died from COPD. I watched a documentary about him a couple of years ago, he was living in South Africa, and was a bit of a curmudgeon. The best quote was when he was asked about Jack Bruce, he replied, "Jack Bruce! That f***ing c**t!"

    Who's got a Drone?

    I bought an Autel XSP 4k drone last fall. I've taken some decent footage, but I need to catch up on video editing/software. Its a fun hobby and opens new dimensions to photography.

    I just bought a D4 Discwasher system for a song at a local thrift. The D4 set includes the standard Discwasher brush and fluid, as well as a stylus examination and maintenance tool and fluid. How can I tell if the included Zero Stat gun is working?

    Quick Referendum on eBay Global Shipping?

    I've seen a number of complaints regarding Global Shipping, as well as some praise. I think dissatified users are more likely to post in general. I am about to list a very desirable silver faced vintage unit, which I believe would recieve considerable interest from Asian buyers. I am...

    What's the deal on the Audiokarma Marketplace

    I was wondering about the Audiokarma Marketplace. It just appeared without any explanation that I have seen. Is it open to all sellers? Is there a fee to sell there? Sorry if this has been posted elsewhere, but I may have missed it.

    ebay Shipping not Reflecting New USPS Rates?

    I have some auctions scheduled to start Sunday, but the ebay shipping calculator doesn't seem to reflect the recent price increases at the Post Office. I tried revising the listings, but the shipping costs didn't change. Is there any reason to believe they will somehow change before Sunday, or...

    Stupid Question!!

    I picked up a beautiful Pioneer Elite 5.1 amp (5 x 120) today at the thrift. I got it because my B&K HT Preamp is broken and it would cost more to fix than the Pioneer was. However when I got to work and looked up the Manual for the Pioneer I noticed that they say to use 6 to 8 ohm...

    Question about Gain Control

    I am currently using a B&K Reference 50 preamp. Unlike all my earlier equipment which had an unmarked volume control, this one is marked in db. With, a range from -96db to +15db. I gather 0db is 'reference level' (quite loud). The other night I was listening to a pair of Infinitesimal 0.2's...

    Paypal vs. Credit Cards

    It seems many eBay sellers find PayPal annoying, myself included. My question is, since eBay allows sellers to accept credit cards, why can't a seller accept only credit cards and not PayPal? I'm thinking of going this route but I'm sure there must be something I'm missing. I'm hopng the more...

    I normally end my eBay auctions on Sunday night between 9:30 and 10:00 PM EDT. To ensure there are a lot of idle people available to view and hopefully bid. It seems to work well. At first I thought I would not run auctions next week due to Christmas occurring on Sunday, but as I thought more...
