A/V Processor and Amp for B&W speakers?
The Marantz processors are quite excellent, especially for the money you spend. It definitely is a "mass market" item, but it's engineered well with excellent power supplies and analog circuits.  It's also the only "consumer level" item with discr...

If you are using a "FIOS TV One" box, it is likely that you can upgrade that external wall-wart switching power adapter to a linear power supply. Just make sure you figure out the exact size of the DC plug and the voltage used (such as 5V or 12V o...

last night, hopping about YouTube, favorite/familiar music videos, Google Chrome browser beat Firefox slightly, the reverse of the prior night’s slight advantage to Firefox. Sorry, no clues. Things may have changed in the last couple of years...
