I'm the guy who plays music all the time. It's always going in my house (hence the sidebar), and it's almost always going in my office when I work. Currently, I pipe music from my desktop computer (in another room) through my "shelf-top" stereo system in my living room. For music management, I use a radio-frequency remote control.
For some time now, I've been thinking about what upgrades I'd like in my living room. I'd like to slowly build an extremely nice system, beginning with a good reciever and speakers. Unfortunately, I haven't had the money.
I still think it will be a while before I have the money to go nuts, but one speaker on my shelf-top system is going out. It's sort of intermittent right now, which is quite unfortunate. At this point, I'm just hoping the whole setup can last until I have a real job and can lay out a little cash for a replacement.
And if the speaker fully goes out (or even keeps up its intermittent behavior), I suppose I'll have to try some 'frankenspeaker' experiment with its custom cables, speaker wire, and spare little speakers I have sitting around.
I'm really looking forward to having a real job.
[UPDATE: I switched speaker plugs. The problem is somewhere in the shelf unit, not the speaker. There's no stopgap, I'm afraid.]
