Faint buzz in speakers
I'll throw my guess into the ring: Filter cap on it's way out. Oh, and don't neatly coil excess cable carrying signal.  
No God No! Say it Ain’t So!
The market, that's us, will pronounce judgement on the success (or failure) of this acquisition. Patience will be rewarded. I'm thinking the less desirable outcome is the off shoring effect. Bose once held a place among premier brands, I think tha...

PayPal Friends & Family listings. Why is this becoming so common?
I've been burned, once paying with F&F. So now I offer to pay the fee, I add 3.5% to the total, and go with Goods and Services if the seller agrees. Selling used items seldom makes a profit, so no income... What I don't understand is how sales...
