Rocking Out With the Topping VX1 Desktop/Bookshelf Amplifier

October 6, 2015 By Stephen 1 Comment

A few months back, I asked folks on Twitter and LinkedIn for recommendations for a desktop amplifier for a pair of bookshelf speakers. I ended up with a Topping VX1, one of the many "Class-T" digital amps lauded by audiophiles for their excellent sound reproduction. Boy am I impressed!

Review: TP-LINK TL-SG2424 Smart Gigabit Ethernet Switch for Home or Office

August 6, 2015 By Stephen 3 Comments

For the most part, inexpensive Ethernet switches are interchangeable. You buy whichever gigabit switch is cheapest and has the right number of ports for you. And they're amazingly cheap - I picked up an 8-port D-Link gigabit switch the other day for under $40! They're all the same inside anyway, and they're all merely adequate at sending packets hither and yon. But … [Read more...] about Review: TP-LINK TL-SG2424 Smart Gigabit Ethernet Switch for Home or Office

Review: American Standard’s Champion 4 Toilet Flushes Almost Anything

July 31, 2012 By Stephen 25 Comments

Owning a home is the American dream, but there is one aspect for which I was not prepared: Toilets. Over the last decade, at four homes, I have repaired countless flush valves and spent hours "working the plunger". I had resigned myself to this plumbers work until an episode of NPR Science Friday introduced me to a clog-resistant commode. I have now purchased and installed two … [Read more...] about Review: American Standard’s Champion 4 Toilet Flushes Almost Anything
