Sadly, I just use 12 gauge zip wire I bought at the hardware store to hookup my speakers. I'm wondering if it's causing electron misalignment and I should upgrade?

Only if they are tube amps.

I'd agree that many solid state amps today sound very good. Even my Bryston separates are going to be on the chopping block soon to be replaced with a modern Yamaha Aventage all in one receiver just to simplify things. I need to audition it to see how it compares first. But I have to admit, I like t...

It's also possible the market expects Brexit to pass and then the entire EU might unravel. So investors are looking to park money where they think their money would be the safest if the Euro goes away. That could be bonds, cash, and gold.

Enough politics, let's talk audio. Several weeks back on a lark I bought a used Audio Innovations Series 300mkII tube amp (AI300). This is an amp made by the now defunct Audio Innovations out of Britain probably in the early 1990s. It may be older than some of the readers here. I bought it to use in...

But is AA meetings alone worth $40K a month? Because that's what they're charging insurance on the high end scale. Could you clarify what this means? Who is charging insurance, and for what? Do you have a link to support that assertion? Probably that is for high roller celebrity style rehab. I susp...

All well and good. But you know if someone has a destructive habit that can only be controlled by taking a prescription pill before they engage in the activity, then maybe stopping all forms of that habit outright ain't such a bad idea. "I find that my heroin use is far more manageable when I ...

The bond market is extremely efficient. It is way more efficient than the stock market in my opinion. The math on them is what it is in terms of duration and interest. The biggest benefit with the barbell over ITT is that nice wad of cash for riding out market turmoil, plus the ability to rebalance ...

I have changed the default cookie name. That will force people that were logged in to do it again and will eventually put everything in sync.

The US 30 year treasury's yield is down to 2.43%, which is below the lowest yields during or after 2008. I have no idea the last time it was down this far. The great depression maybe?? Supposedly this is about the Brexit vote on June 23rd. Maybe next week would be a good time to check the portfolio...

Mathjak was not banned that I'm aware of and I just checked his account and it is not banned.

Very few people have ever been banned from this forum. You really need to go above and beyond to get banned, or be an outright spammer.

The domain name was formally transferred to the new host. The domain name gyroscopicinvesting.com should be working now. If you notice a problem after tomorrow, please let me know. It may take up to 24 hours for DNS propagation to reach everywhere.

Hey craig, could you fix this? It's shorter than the old forum nor can I put in the size code. http://i.imgur.com/RozmzH3.png i upped it to 375... I put it at 400. I originally lowered it so we wouldn't see a novella in people's signatures. Images and links are also prohibited. I can't stand images...

Domain transfer is in progress. It will take several days but hopefully all goes smoothly and the domain will go straight here without the redirects I'm using now.

It's not an area, it's a "Center".

For our British readers, it's "Chat Centre" which looks much more sophisticated.

There is a chat area for members now. Look at the top menu bar.

Japan is an interesting place and culturally is not like the U.S. corporatism rules everything mindset. It is entirely possible that their earnings do not do much by design in order to provide for their own workers and people first vs. investors.

DNS is still being worked on. We need to get something straightened out before it can be moved. Right now it is being redirected to here.

Why do lefties always want to move to Canada and not Honduras or Sierra Leone?

I'm not aware that marijuana causes "psychiatric episodes". Acute psychosis is usually caused by contaminants such as PCP, or combining pot with hallucinogens. Probably the issue is that someone is stoned, and another person isn't yet familiar enough with it to know how to handle it so th...

It's a total disaster. We're going to see a huge spike in psychiatric episodes. I know two people that deal with emergency and non-emergency psychiatry and they are already seeing this. Also, we're going to see more impaired driving and addicts. Marijuana prosecutions also kept a lot of bad guys off...

I'm so happy the forum is back up. I felt like Arvixe was just messing with me toward the end. Nothing against Indian tech people in theory, but the ones I dealt with were remarkably incompetent. I'm imagining what some of those folks might be like if they were brain surgeons: "So, thank you f...

Ok I uploaded some new themes and activated them based on input above.

Other stuff like broken smilies, etc. will get fixed as I get time.

If you keep the forum, you might want to just copy the forum layout here:

Bonds
Cash
Gold
Variable Portfolio

Hopefully this new host will be a lot better. So far they are very responsive to tech support issues.
