Depends on which version you have. When I'm listening to it its turned on and when I'm not listening to it its turned off. Have the original manufactured model and never had an issue turning it on or off. Still going strong after all these years.

Hows the pipe repair coming?

Jimmy;Those look absolutely and downright swell. Whats say...time to crank out the next project. Hows the weather ?

Lars, I am very aware of special needs children/adults having one in my own immediate family. Also, my Sister has just retired after 40 years of teaching special needs children. I consider myself an educated individual with well over 6 years of High School but for the life of me I cant understand your question. Lets leave "children" out of the equation and just speak of life. That being the scenario, I would allow Mr.Jackson to proceed with his assignment.

OK, one guy is a bad guy....that's the Hollywood actor portraying the terrorist. The other guy is a real bad *** Mfer who will stop at nothing ( except if hes joined by his wife for a super healthy organic picnic lunch on a beautifully groomed lawn ) to extract needed information. I think their both "bad" ( for obvious reasons ) but the one whos badder ( badder as in gooder ) in this case is Jackson.

Without question; the interrogator.

Very dark movie. No doubt we have people who are capable of such deeds.

Yep....me too !

One of my favorite recordings is Sinatra Live at the Sands with the Count Basie Orchestra and Quincy Jones arranging. Karsoncookie; if you'd like to give it a listening to without shelling out the money just in case you end up not liking it , you can listen to it in its entirety on Grooveshark or Spotify. Its a stellar classic recording and sounds wonderful through the Klipsch.

You can get a nice taste of Sinatra for about $10.00. The Jazz Label; " Real Gone " has two different sets right now with more in the works. Vol1 consists of 8 records on 4 Cd's and deals with his earlier stuff from about 1957 to 1960. Great Big Band recordings with arrangers like May and Riddle and some mighty fine musicians to boot. Vol2 consists of 9 records on 4 Cd's and not only features great musicians and arrangers but many say this period; 1961 thru 1962 is when Sinatra was at his peak.. voice wise. Were talking roughly $20.00 plus shipping for 17 classic Sinatra recordings.

Raisin Bran Crunch is much better. 4 out of 5 Doctors surveyed would recommend either one considering the percentage of Fiber they have to offer.

I hope we can all agree that there really are two scoops of raisins in Kellogg Raisin Bran

Bondo is just a generic name for product that requires a hardener ...just like Epoxy which without a hardener will never dry/cure. Its been used on all types of surfaces that will be painted. A skilled Furniture Restorer will also use a Bondo type product on an unpainted ( stained ) surface but it will require graining and extensive color touch up. Other products like Shellac Burn In Sticks can be used as well but again.. they will require the knowledge to make the repair completely invisible to the naked eye. In short...a Bondo type product will suffice for a painted finish. Bondo is a brand name not a generic name, been around forever. My grandfather showed me how to use it when i was a young boy working in his wood shop. It holds up well laid thick as well, i used it to repair our front door and fill in the deadbolt hole over 30 years ago and you still couldn't tell where it was repaired at one time. I stand corrected on my use of the word "generic " when I should have used " brand ".. so many products on the market today that imitate Bondo I labeled it as say ; a Latex Paint instead of being in a class by itself.

do you have one brand in mind - and how much would you need to do a full pair of scalas in a bad shape -is there such a thing as bondo that you dont have to mix with hardener - kinda like - just open the can and use -or no - No. Bondo is meant to be painted over be it a car or a piece of wood or fiberglass. All Bondo needs a hardener to complete the chemical reaction to take place . No hardener means no dry for ever or ever Amen.

Products like that would be fine for a " stained " restoration project but for a paint grade finish there are much better products available.

I agree...pictures are a big help.

Following that advice has allowed my listening experience to actually sound more like it does now than it did B4.

Rejuvenating Oil is basically Linseed Oil...a tiny bit of Varnish...and Paint Thinner/Naptha. The other Oils in the Watco Family contain Linseed Oil...a tiny bit of Varnish...Vegetable Oil...and Paint Thinner/Naptha. Their line of "stain colored Oils " have oil pigments/analine powders/ etc.....to achieve the " color " . Any oil will to a degree change the color of the wood. The Rejuvenating Oil since it contains no vegetable oil ( V.O. acts like a color reducer ) will be a bit darker. Because its called " Rejuvenating " its darker to hide/minimize/fill in any minute scratches. Of course if you have deeper scratches that really penetrate the wood...an oil will only do so much to remedy the scratch.

If you go with plugs, then how will you get it into the amplifier's wire connectors? Good question... somewhere in my " stash" and I mean somewhere; I have a bunch of left over Gold Plated Plugs I got at Radio Shack years upon years ago.Ive searched for a couple hours the past day or so and I cant seem to find them online so I hope to find them here in my " stash ". What I really liked about them is that you inserted about 1/2" of stripped wire into one end which was just a round hole... then you crimped down real hard with a vise grip or channel lock to secure the wire. Once you did that ; the other end of that plug ( where the wire was crimped into ) had about a 3/4" long post that stuck out. The width of that post was only about 1/16" wide and it will easilly fit into the snap clip on the back end of the Subwoofer.

Ive decided to make a set of replacement cables for the 2.1 system. I have quite a bit of Monster Cable left over from my shop installation I did a number of years back. Its the XPHP Presision Cable with Magnetic Fluxtube and LPE Dielectric goodness built into it. Ill be using the Amphenol Audio KM2P 3.5 Plugs from B&H. As far as the other end of the cable that attaches to the Subwoofer Im not sure yet if Ill just slip the wire into the snap clip or go with a crimped on Gold Plated Plug. Time will tell though, should have the 3.5 plugs in a week or so.

Nice write up Two Cables, I have had the ProMedia 2.1 set up for about 10 years and it works flawlessly. Only one issue is that my Parrot has chewed through some of the insulation on the speaker wire. After seeing your posting about the stock speaker wire replacement set, Im going to get rid of the electric tape I have now and get a set of those off Ebay. Glad to have read your post...great job.

Its amazing what Mother Nature can do . Like a fine wine that mellows with age , wood cant help but develope a beautiful patina. Pine and Cherry and Rosewood age particularly well. Those Klipschorns are stunning.

Nice presentation Khornukopia. I likes both of em.
