Meh, it all depends on the store. The Apple "geniuses" at the store in The Woodlands mall here in Texas were incredibly unhelpful and condescending...and the manager was no better. Mind you, I...

Been there, done that, got the T-shirt...just a little over a year ago, in fact. It was very annoying. In the "bad ear" it sounded like I was listening to music underwater, particularly with the...

From what I understand, Polk won't sell just the binding post, only the complete crossover assembly. At least that was my experience with my R50s. That said, I found a near-exact replacement at All...

If eloplayspolo only wants the tweeters, I would be interested in the woofers and crossovers. Maybe this can work out and save us both some cash? I have 5250's right now and would simply like to...

Happy birthday John! I hope you are enjoying your trip, and I'm sure you will be enjoying the heck out of those tube amp masterpieces when you return! :cheesygrin:

EndersShadow. I just played a rousing game of phone tag with John, and he informed me that he should be back on the forum Monday or Tuesday. Until then, you're probably better off calling him if you...

I guess I'll give him a call Saturday and see how he is...and see what the status on my amp is. :cheesygrin:

Actually, I'm a bit concerned since I haven't heard anything from him since his last post in this thread. I hope he's okay, and just busy or something...

Hey John, any updates?

If they're changing the rate that drastically, you should be able to get out of the contract without paying an ETF. I know that the wireless carriers have verbiage in their contracts with regards to...

John, I went ahead and sent an email to the Paypal email address you gave me awhile back so that you would have my email address. Hopefully you received it...

Thanks for the update John! I didn't even think that you might have that issue since I didn't even think that you might be accessing this site by phone. :cheesygrin: You can contact me direct via...

Congrats!

Do you have a tracking number for my amp yet? I would have sent you a PM on this, but your box is still full. :sad:

Yes, their attitude was a key portion of it. However, not carrying something like replacement mounting parts for their cartridge still seems incredibly absurd to me. That would be like them not...

I doubt they will too. I like Denon's products, but their customer (dis)service doesn't impress me. I sent them an email not too long ago asking if I could get a replacement screw/nut set for my...

Glad to hear things are going well at the shop!

P.S. Clear out your PM box.

+2! I've also told real people that I like Polk Audio. I even "converted" one of my friends when he heard my LSi setup! I mean, that's gotta count for something, right? :cheesygrin:

As far as author expertise, the onus is on the presenter to show that. As for my claims, it wasn't just a single manufacturer, it was all of the current drive manufacturers (Seagate, Toshiba, Western...

Exactly the response I expected. Real men and women accept their faults and can admit when they are wrong. Maybe one day you will grow up and accept that you are not a perfect being.

I'm aware that Tom's Hardware consists of multiple authors and editors. When I say "he" I'm referring to the author of the article; though in this case it is two authors, so I should have correctly...

a) You haven't provided a shred of evidence or proof to support your point of view on reliability, whereas I have.
b) Shock figures were also the same between the 5400 and 7200RPM drives, which is...

I decided to check out reliability specifications for various manufacturers 5400 and 7200rpm laptop drives. With a single exception, they were exactly the same between the two speeds of drives. The...

a) This is Tom's Hardware, not exactly what I'd consider an expert on hard drive design or reliability. Worse, he doesn't provide any references to back up his statements.
b) He also mentions design...

Funny, I've never had a single problem in all the 7200rpm laptop drives that I've used (20+). However, I've had my share of issues with desktop/server drives of all RPM's (5400-15000). It's less...

The only comment I can think of is regarding the hard drive. A 5400rpm drive as your main drive is going to be quite slow compared to a 7200rpm drive (or even an SSD). As such, I would recommend...
