    Refrigerator noise damper

    The compressor of my 21 year old refrigerator has been getting louder (motor) over months so I looked up the cost of replacing the compressor and realized that it may be frugal to just buy a new one. Well, 3 weeks ago, a new refrigerator (Whirlpool) was delivered and my old one was hauled...

    Vibration noise from your disc player?

    This happened to me last week for the first time ever! I popped in a DVD disc just arrived from Netflix and all of a sudden "brrrrrrr". Something was vibrating and I can feel it right through the chassis of my bluray player (Sony BDP-S570). I took it out and popped in another DVD disc I have...

    What's wrong with my RTA system?

    All of a sudden it won't show the frequency graph anymore. It just shows the lines and numbers but no graph or any movement no matter what I tried. :angry-cussing: It does show oscilloscope and it works which tells me that it's not the sound card or mic. Anybody had this before?

    3-D displays and source, what's your impression?

    I was at Best Buy today for the first time in 2 years and noticed that they have a 3-D demo with pole mounted glasses which you can adjust the height. It was playing Avatar and I wasn't all that impressed with the latest 3-D. Often it looks like a few 2-D images in foreground and background...

    My passive preamp finished!

    As mentioned about a year ago (on the other forum) that it will be a long process and it was a long process. It's done at last. Here's chassis with holes cut out (what a pain in the a$$ to do!). Here's front view with the parts mounted. The rear (need to buy a set of RCA plugs to fill the...

    I've seen online list of blu-ray with 7.1 audio but it's rather small. All the new releases I've seen so far are 5.1 audio. So what's up with 7.1? Wasn't that going to be the standard already? What happened?

    Any issues with previews on Blu-ray discs?

    I rent Blu-ray disc from Netflix and I've been irritated by the new releases having previews and advertisement at the beginning. It won't allow me to skip. No other buttons will work except open tray or power off. Some won't even respond to "stop" button. WTF! They are force feeding me this...
