  • by wajo

This Article revised 2/17/13... now describes a "Modified" Retro Style (Retro accents but no blue background)   Here's a way to get a "Modified" Retro style that works with the AVS Black skin, which you set in your Profile. It provides Retro-style accents w/o the blue background, eliminates the right sidebar, and adds a thin gold line on left edge of thread title box as a visual indicator that you've posted there. Also, it now works well when not logged in.   This is not a permanent change to your browser... at any time, you can Disable it as instructed... read more

How to place speakers on a desk or bookshelf and isolate them from boundaries

Ok so I wanted to post this because I think that some people out there may find it useful. I recently purchased some energy desktop speakers and a dayton audio desktop amplifier, to be used as computer speakers. I had a heck of a time figuring out how to get the speakers to sound good, situated on a desktop, and near the back wall. I was getting bass boom, and unattractive reflections because of where I was placing the speakers. Now I know that placing speakers on a large hard surface, near a back wall is not ideal, but this is where I wanted my speakers to be. After... read more

New Retro Dolby True Hd 1930 Subsystem

Championed by Late Night (now Late Show) with David Letterman Musical Director Paul Shaffer, Dolby is releasing a product that is more than just an emulation or virtual field but is in fact the real thing. Shaffer, who has been David Letterman's Musical Director since Letterman's show went on the air in the 1980s has always contended that all music is best reproduced in mono. He's not kidding about it. Because of his substantial industry influence, he and Dolby have collaborated on a technology that to many, may seem like it's right out of Friday Morning Auditorium in... read more

Clarus Power Cords

REVIEW OF CLARUS CRIMSON POWER CORDS AND T-200 POWER MANAGER I was recently given the opportunity to audition some of the new Clarus Cable products in my home system. For those of you who are not familiar with the name, Clarus is the brainchild of Joe Perfito, Chariman and CEO of Tributaries cable. I call Clarus the “high end division” of Tributaries because the Clarus line was designed and developed with the goal of competing with the very best, uber expensive cables on the market today. However, in keeping with Tributaries long standing reputation of... read more
