Any audiophiles out there?

I have a Denon PRA 1100 preamp playing through a Denon POA 2200 amplifier. I bought both of them new in 1986. The preamp seems to be finally biting the dust, or it seems like the balance control is anyway. Right now I'm only getting sound out of the left channel. When I turn the balance control or e...

Mikey, I guess you saw that on your own.

Shellfish skewers

Fixed these last night because I had gotten some nice sea scallops at Costco. Take about an equal number of large sea scallops and large, shelled shrimp and marinate for an hour or so in a mixture of EVOO, lemon juice, minced garlic and a little salt. While the shellfish is marinating cut up some on...
