When Religion comes up on some form where they legitimately need some personal data, I always put Musician

To satisfy my mild old man curiosity: Grok AI says How many wires actually carry signal in an HDMI cable? An HDMI cable has 19 wires in total, but not all of them carry the primary audio and video signals. Here's a breakdown:12 wires (4 shielded twisted pairs, each with 3 wires: signal...

I can't even get one "strand" of my 2AWG speaker wire connected to my terminals at the speaker or amp. So, this, from my junkbox, because I could.: The nuts are 1/2 inch / 13mm for scale

I make a video every time I fly my glider, at 4K 30Hz, sometimes as long as 5 hours, and have been sending those from PC to TV across the room. The copper cable was (I think) 25 feet. I've been getting mixed results lately, something weird with the color scale, banding in the blue of the sky...

What did I look for? Low distortion (harmonic, IMD, resonance of any kind, etc.) - Low enough, and no box on mine above 180hz Power handling, ability to get stupid loud without blowing up - I can do that. 700W/4Ohm powers them. Sensitivity - They're sensitive enough. Spatial performance...

Play a record with scratches and see if that floats your boat before committing. Especially if you can find one that skips a groove or gets stuck on the same groove. I have both. I think I bought a total of like 7 records back when that's all there was in the 60's and 70's. For the reason in...

Lots of available power and inaudible faults fill the bill for me.

Now that the we can have the instant answers to the everything, Grok the AI says: List languages that do not have a word like "the" in English Languages that lack a definite article equivalent to the English "the" are known as article-less languages. These languages either do not use...

Blew Peavey compression drivers for the "tweeters" on the PA rack back in 1980 or so a couple of times. Overdriven (125W amp) with (maybe) too low a crossover to the JBL mids cabinet. Don't remember anything blown anywhere else.

What is the criteria for "fraudulent"?

I wonder which one is the evenest.

Delay works better than SPL for off-center listening position. Delay the closer speaker to retain the phase (from the two speakers) of the sound reaching your head. I do it sometimes, using a miniDSP in the digital path.

That's one every 31 seconds 24/7

How would we know?

My AM/FM/HDRadio. Analog or Digital broadcasts can be output as Analog or Digital as desired. I use the digital outs.

A moderate "pop" when turning an amplifier on or off is common. It depends on the design. The reason would be a slight voltage offset at the output terminals as it powers up or down. Unless it is extremely loud, I'd just live with it.

There are plenty of digital broadcasts, but I think there are few receptors. 2025 Base Model Cars and Trucks with HD Radio as Standard Equipment in the USA: Acura TLX, two Alfas, and one Audi.

I'd try moving the turntable to the other end of the "rack", just to see...

Because I have an interest in aviation in all its forms, and an eleven minute thrill ride with a ticket price of, say, $300,000 is a curiosity I choose not to ignore. So I investgated what it takes to get on the ride list. But, I fly, for much longer periods, at a much reduced rate. I just...

You saved every penny you spent. Good job. You could up your game: To purchase a ride on Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin New Shepard rocket for a suborbital spaceflight, here’s a step-by-step guide based on the most current information available: Visit the Blue Origin Website: Go to the official...
