    Plus it’s revealing of the bias when you see which networks either add to a story or fail to mention parts of it. 

    IMO, the bias between networks is most apparent by which stories they even choose to cover.

    WTT Pappy Van Winkle for Heritage

    in Garage Sale

    Posted

    I figure I'd give this a shot...I'm offering to trade some or all of my Pappy collection for Klipsch Heritage line speakers.  I propose the following Pappy to Klipsch exchange rate based upon secondary market sale prices for very nice condition speakers.

     

    Van Winkle Special Reserve Lot "B" 12 Year ~ WO Herseys

    Pappy Van Winkle Family Reserve 20 Year ~ WO Cornwalls

    Pappy Van Winkle Family Reserve 23 Year ~ WO Belles or La Scalas

    All Three Bottles ~ WO Klipschorns or La Scala IIs

    Ya, according to everyone on my F-150 forum they all say running 93 octane is better even if your completely stock. Do you know if that's true or not? I actually just recently switched to 93 at my last fill up and to be perfectly honest I don't notice any difference really. Maybe a tiny bit smoother but nothing like what they are saying. Everyone on the forum says I'll have way more power and all this.  I am still only about a quarter way through the tank though so who knows maybe I'll see a difference. 

    High octane is only needed to prevent premature ignition of fuel in the combustion chamber on the compression stroke of the piston...aka "knocking".  

    50-60Hz hum in my system

    in Subwoofers

    Posted

    I've recently gotten my DIY Stereo Integrity DS4-18 up and running with a Behringer EP4000 amplifier.  There is a ART CleanBox between my Pioneer receiver and my Sub Amplifier to boost the signal for the pro amp.  

     

    I started out having a pretty bad hum, but it was substantially reduced after i connected the coaxial for my cable TV through my ARS surge protector/power strip.  

     

    I've isolated the source of the remaining hum to the ART CleanBox which is powered by a two-prong wall wart.  I concluded that the hum was originating from the CleanBox because the hum volume does not increase in volume when i turn up the receiver, but it does increase in volume when i turn up the gain on the CleanBox and on the Sub Amplifier.  The hum also goes away when i turn off or unplug the CleanBox, but leave the amplifier turned on.

     

    Any thoughts on how i might be able to ground the CleanBox?  I already have it plugged into the ARS surge protector with everything else.

    Man that thing is beautiful. Where did you get the feet?

    Thank you!  I purchased the feet from Amazon here: https://www.amazon.com/Large-Cube-Square-Rubber-Bumpers/dp/B00S4BY88W/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1479158841&sr=8-6&keywords=rubber+bumper+feet+square

    Perhaps a polish containing wax would bring out the luster you seek?

    I actually did put some of that on after the oil finish and it gave me a nice smooth luster.
