20.0 Miscellaneous
20.1 What do I need to know about warranties?
Warranties have a few basic components. The first is the term
of the warranty. The second is what is covered. The third is
who supports the warranty. The fourth is what restrictions.
Term is fairly self evident. What is covered is more detailed.
In audio electronics, typically everything is covered with a
"parts and labor" warranty. Often mechanical components such as
tape heads are covered by different terms, such as shorter terms
on labor and longer terms on parts. Likewise, speaker
warranties vary widely, from unconditional with no term limit to
a basic 30 days parts and labor.
Some warranties come from the manufacturer. Others come from
the dealer. Still other warranty support is available with
certain premium charge cards.

18.0 Network Protocol
18.1 What are the audio newsgroups? Which group should I post to?
It is important to post to the right group. There are a few
reasons for that. First, you want to be read by people who
are knowledgable and/or interested in your topic. Second,
you want to avoid the ire of people who don't have your
perspective or won't tolerate your ignorance. The audio
newsgroups are frequented by a wide group of people, including
some outspoken experts who know their stuff and some serious
purists who won't consider lower levels as acceptable.
That said, here's the list of newsgroups and an explanation
of their content:
rec.audio: The original newsgroup, which is being phased out.
rec.audio.car: This newsgroup supports discussion on different
brands and models of car stereo, and also is an open
forum for talk...

15.0 Wire
More than any other topic, speaker cables and equipment
interconnects seem to use up rec.audio.* bandwidth echoing
the same theoretical arguments, testimonials, and opinions.
Controversy can be stimulating, educational, and also amusing.
Please try to keep postings aimed at one of those three goals,
and avoid the insults and emotion. Also, try to avoid
echoing a common position or principle, as described below.
15.1 Do speaker cables matter?
To avoid confusion and repetition, here is some terminology,
thanks to Steve Lampen of Belden Wire & Cable Co.
A wire is a single conductor made up of one or more conducting
elements, but all configured (as in a stranded design) to act
as a single conductor. Mostly, this is coated or covered by
plastic, rubber, enamel or similar insulators.
