    "Scooter Talk"

    HuH? Well anyway, it's very easy to tell what happened there. Too hot into the curve and too off the throttle,too much brake instead of pushing the bike down harder. Typical amatuer move. How so? Just look at his riding boots. A sportbike would get out of that, whereas a cruiser? Lets just...

    McCain and Obama

    Round and round it goes, all the while nobody realizes that whatever the two candidates we have, or ever have had, keep adding more s**t to the pile. Never do they take any away, and we keep on chasing our own tails thinking it's the solution. Will you have the strength to ignore these two, a...

    Fuzzy Speaker? Uh-oh.

    Now What? Ok, went to the dealer today to listen to the disks on their system and see what's what with any warranty issues. Sound Advice in Tampa had a pair of vantages with all Anthem head equipment in their top drawer sound room. The weird stuff I was hearing is from the recording itself, but...

    Fuzzy Speaker? Uh-oh.

    I'll be stopping at the dealer today just to find out what actions under warranty can be done. If I determine that the speaks are the problem it opens a whole can of worms logistically for me. How was it determined that the boards were bad?

    Fuzzy Speaker? Uh-oh.

    Fuzzy Speaker? Uh-oh.

    Thanks for some insights. So far I have: Used the HD-DVD player as a source - That's not the problem. Went from balanced adapters to unbalanced straight to the amp, physically exchanged speaker position l/r, powered them both through the other, non suspect, power protection, gave them a good...

    Fuzzy Speaker? Uh-oh.

    OK, The right channel on my system has some sort of distortion: A "fuzzy sound" on the high middle range that makes itself known on complex and dynamic passages. There is also a high hiss that comes in and out, on both channels but more the right, much like signal drift on a fm station. This...

    Cell Phone Died

    If you don't travel international, your probably better off with Verizon. I'm att, and on my some remote sites (Looooost Hills, CA) I've been left out in the cold. That said, and I had to replace my Treo 650 with a 680, newer is Not always better!

    Rear Wave

    I imagine most people don't have the space for an ideal placement of ML speakers. Plus there are too many variables, such as room dimensions, wall and ceiling materials, source materials, etc. to not have to fiddle with indirect waves produced by the speaker. Some nice systems I have seen photos...

    Tuner Shootout: Modded SAE 8000 vs Sony FDR-X1HD

    Unboxed and hooked up the new cat's a$$, everybody's talkin' 'bout, Sony FDX-X1HD. It sits on top of my current tuner, the aforementioned vintage SAE model 8000, purportedly modded in ways too mysterious to me by a guy known for knowing his stuff. Both units are handicapped by ridiculously bad...

    "Scooter Talk"

    Mr Toad, The RGS series (~1982-1986) had a 120 crank, but I can't recall how well the counterbalancing was configured. It would sound almost like a Jaguar V-12. The bottom end was developed from a Fiat 3 banger car engine and overall, bulletproof. Mine was a bit beasty overall from stiffer rear...

    The Banking Bailout Vote!

    Folks, Please remember that there are still a vast multitude of fiscally conservative, solvent lenders out there. Some of them are the diversified corporations and small private companies, many who came into the finance industry through deregulation. I work for one of them, although in a far...

    The Banking Bailout Vote!

    To date, this is the most reasonably well thought out response to this debacle I have heard (read) so far. Wrong or right (and I tend to believe assertions by people with education in their field), you have to admire both the sane presentation of the situation and sincere sympathetic view of how...

    "Scooter Talk"

    Ok, Here's my former love, before the Blackbird: "Bub" Jota cans, "Witt" ignition, "executive" handlebars, 42 tooth rear sprocket, I forget who aftermarket rear springs & shocks, tweaked fork dampening and those loud Italian aftermarket horns Not shown: Slater Bros. full floating front disks...
