  • Someone should make an Amazon for used gear, with the same fast shipping and return policy. BC you are right and the new stuff is often such low quality.

    There is a goodwill near me with OK prices, but it is a crapshoot whether what you bought will work. From what I've seen, used gear shops where they repair and test are mostly for rare and expensive collectors items and not worth it.

    I recently had to spend $160 to buy a used VCR capable of PAL/multisystem, on eBay.

  • Yes the house speakers (almost imperceptible hum, with the wires in the wall) are amplified by an Onkyo Tx-8011, which goes through a Niles audio HDS-6 high definition speaker selection system, with the protection toggle always engaged.

    For protection, it says:

    Disengaged:
    \ 1-2 8 ohm
    \ 1 4 ohm

    Engaged:
    \ 3-6 8 ohm
    \ 2-6 4 ohm

    But honestly I don't have the users manual and I don't know what it means.

    Back to the test setup (with the louder hum; speaker wire NOT in the walls, just draped over the dining room table), the speakers are AR18s, U028144. The 2 pronged plug is NOT polarized. I'll look for a DC power supply and see how that goes.

  • They are AR something from the 70s or 80s (?). They might have been built from a kit. I'll update when I get home.

    I'll look for a ground conntector on the chassis.

    I have other speakers in the house, which connect to a whole home stereo system with wiring in the walls, which have a very very slight hum at 0 volume, compared to these. That may be the whole house being slightly ungrounded? But it is different from my test setup, which has a noticeable hum.

    This "test" setup is on top of the dining room table with the stereo plugged into a wall outlet via an extension cord. About 10ft each of 16 gauge twisted wire speaker cable connects the stereo to both the L and R speaker.

    The stereo is this one: Daakro AK45 Stereo Audio Amplifier,300W Home 2 Channel Wireless Bluetooth 5.0 Power Amplifier System, Home Amplifiers FM Radio, USB, SD Card, with Remote Control Home Theater Audio Stereo System : Electronics

    Thank you for sharing your expertise!

  • Any loss of water should result in higher

    concentration of solutes, no?

    I don't think this is completely true. Caffeine may cause you to empty your bladder, but your body continues to function normally, and will keep blood concentration of electrolytes at homeostasis.

    Compare this to alcohol which removes water from the bloodstream, which increases concentration of solutes in the blood.

  • Thanks. This does seem like a helpful method, and, pardon the pun, fairly bulletproof.

    If I brain dump into the journal, then I'll feel less anxious. However, a big part of my anxiety is that I have many other apps and to-do lists floating around at the same time as using the bullet journal.

    Should speakers hum when they're connected to a stereo, but the volume of is turned all the way down?
