    Mounting projector into concrete slab ceiling

    I thought it was intuitive but don't hammer a RAWL bolt unless you want to remove it, it works quite differently from a wall plug. I've heard of two guys hammering RAWL bolts and then wondering why it wasn't secure, one works with his hand for a living. While on the topic of wall plugs, some...

    Hearing loss

    I'm sure Harleys also cause hearing loss.

    Hearing loss

    Some contradicting statements about frequency vs. hearing loss. http://www.dangerousdecibels.org/education/information-center/faq/#outside-range https://biology.stackexchange.com/questions/2077/will-humans-and-animals-be-harmed-by-frequencies-outside-their-hearing-range Then there is...

    Hearing loss

    Decided to test my hearing yesterday. Generated a few sine waves (20Hz, 15kHz, 16kHz, 17kHz, 18 kHz) and played them over my system. 20Hz - could hear it faintly, but it might have been distortion, any case my Sub is probably the limiting factor. 16kHz, me and the wife could hear that. 17kHz...

    My dachshund did the worst she could have done this evening...

    Puppies do this more readily than older dogs. We have three Scotties and one did like eating crap. We tried to keep the yard clear, eventually I decided on leaving some of their excrement in the garden and treating it with Nando's extra hot chilly sauce. This seemed to have worked, alternatly...

    Learning to play piano

    I'd say get a digital piano with weighted keys. My wife wanted a piano, and wasn't impressed when I suggested a digital piano. After playing on one she realised is is not the same thing as a keyboard. In the end we settled on a Kawai CN34 (Best piano hammer action for price). That Kawai is a...

    Selling kit on this forum: Potential buyer's post count?

    This is probably the obvious, but I would say do face to face deals in cash. If you are in different areas, don't want to handle large sums of cash etc. then ask the newcomer to transfer the money, and wait for clearance, before shipping/ handing over the goods. That way the buyer is taking...

    MP3=Disposable FLAC=Real Deal :)

    EAC does that as well see http://www.accuraterip.com/software.htm. If your CD's were perfect to begin with you could probably just convert from mp4 lossless to FLAC, but any lossless format is lossless. The only thing you would gain or lose, is compatibility or incompatibility with different...

    Won't you hit me with your tuning stick - hit me - hit me...

    This makes me think, maybe a power balance wristband will also enhance the power and balance of an amplifier.

    Ibuprofen

    Ha-ha. Agreed, but then you have a psychological problem.  ;)

    Ibuprofen

    I think you should read the package for side-effects and allergic reactions, if you have not used the medication before. This way you will know if you are experiencing an allergic reaction, and get help promptly. Some medication my wife is using can cause very serious allergic reactions...

    I wonder if this will make it into production or speakers?

    I think that depends on the affordability of creating graphene in large enough sheets. Small flakes of graphene can be 'harvested' with sticky tape from graphite, but the membrane for those earphones were made using CVD (Chemical vapour deposition), which is quite expensive. I'm sure that...

    Sub 12k 5.1 speaker package, what to get

    Thanks Drifter, now why couldn't I find those websites on my own? Andredt I'll definitely contact them. I have a question about the side firing woofers on the Jamo S606. Won't this have a detrimental effect on bass? I'm thinking that you would hear the reflections rather than the driver, or is...

    Sub 12k 5.1 speaker package, what to get

    I've auditioned a Jamo S506 system with a 260 sub and a Polk TSi300 system. I thought the Jamo was better sounding, but it could be that the Polks was just driven to hard. I actually want the Jamo S606 system. Any other brands in that price range I should consider? Also could you point me to...

    Introductions Thread

    Hi My sound is currently TV speakers and its horrible. So I'm looking for a system, Interested in the Jamo S606 HCS3 speaker system and a Pioneer VSX822, but I'm open to suggestions, and won't mind buying second hand. Should probably ask in General discussions for advice.
