I'm making a new cable for my 650s (shorter) and using 22 awg 99.99% silver wire, silver mini stereo connector, and 4% silver solder. So it's all blinged with the silver, but i have a few questions: 1) I see a lot of people using cotton tubing with silver wire, and I am only using teflon...

I was at my local electronics surplus store and went in the back, where i had never ventured, and found an entire wall of bins with thousands of tubes. They are from the mini size like in my millett, to the big ones you see in old radios or something. I was wondering if any are worth any...

I have my steps complete with everything but when im checking the resistance of the dc out cord, i stick one probe in the center of my plug, and the other probe on the GND on the pcb (dc out) and i get ~2k ohms resistance? they shouldnt be interfering with eachother at all should they checked...

I've been listening to acoustic guitar albums, like Tommy Emmanuel's "Endless Road", and a few songs from YES, and I wanted to hear some more from other artists. I've been mainly drawn to this music because of the details you can pick up from the acoustic playing, which seem more-so than...

i have my computer next to my cd player, and the whole reaching down and unplugging the av710 to listen to the cd player is kinda bothersome. I don't know what switchboxes are, maybe theyre something similar to this, but this is just what i thought might work. like id just have the mini...

i just got my wattgate 5266i male ac power plug (125v, 15a), and Marinco IEV connector for the other end. This is going to plug into my STEPS, which im waiting on parts for, and i had a couple of questions, considering this is probably the thing that has the worst consequences if you screw up...

If you like tea, I just bought some from Adagio.com and got a free $5 gift certificate i can send to someone, so first person to reply (and you gotta like loose tea because i dont want it to goto waste since i coulda sent it to myself ) gets it! Just post that you want some, and pm me your...

I work at a movie theatre, and am one of the projectionists, and we have mics we can plug in incase of emergeny and we need to talk over the speakers in the theatres, and I unplugged one and it has one of those 3 prong XLR connectors i think. Are these a pretty common thing? never seen one of...

i followed the guide, even went back and downloaded .83 version of foobar, but i cant seem to get it to work. whenever i have the envy console set to hi-sample (96khz), and then set my upsampler in foobar to 96khz, and 24-bit padded to 32-bit, with Kernel Streaming and the ASIO and asio4all...

It was awhile ago, but i just remembered and have been sorting through them. got them when they dropped out of a guys truck, and he got away before we could give them back. Might as well just take them instead of leaving them on the road to get run over and under-appreciated. Mainly looks like...

does anyone think this would look good? I have the resources to do it, so making it look just like that isnt a problem. The wooden bottum half would mainly just be where the millet amp would be mounted to. It would be some nice dark wood with a semi-gloss finish most likely. any suggestions...

I just finished building the millett hybrid, and posted it in the pics of your builds thread. My problem is that it is really distorted and sounds very poor. I was just listening to some cat stevens and when the volume on my x5 is at 10 and the millet volume is turned about 1/2 way so its a...

I recently purchased some Etymotic ER4P's, and honestly wasn't expecting much . I bought my brother some ER6i's a few monthes ago for our birthday, and I wasn't really impressed at all, they sounded very tinny to me and not full enough if that makes sense. After ~30 hour burn-in i started to...

i tried to search but it doesnt seem to be working for me. but anyway, ive been trying to figure out whats wrong with my cmoy this time, and i was wondering how not defluxing would affect it? at this point my sound is coming out of only the right channel very loud and pot doesnt change anything...

the cmoy was favoring the left ear alot so i just balanced it in windows, and then i realised i had 100ohm resistors for my r2 instead of 100k ohm, so i replaced them and got my bass back, but still unbalanced. well i had it sitting on my desk and accidentally pulled a cord and it fell off and...

i have all my jumpers soldered in, now for the power supply. first ?'s: -can i use film capacitors for the c1 caps and the c2's? i have these big cylindracal film caps i got and wanted to know which side was - and +, then i looked up and realised they were film caps, but im wondering if i...

i really dont like giftcards, but atleast its something, so i appreciate them. i got 20 bucks to bestbuy and cant decide what to buy with it? im thinking either a pc game or cd. any ideas?

i was reading my new electronic gaming monthly (only because it was free, i dont play on consoles) and on the very last page there was an advertisement for the "1up Show" and look at the girl in the top left picture, around her neck i scanned with only 100 dpi res because i wanted it to...

just put them away in a cardboard box hooked up to my mp3 player and burned in for about 50-60 hours and i notice a huge difference. the main difference is, before i thought that they sounded kinda weak and didnt really have any punch to them, which i thought an amp would fix, but now i am...

I've been watching this from the beginning 3 weeks ago. its on tuesday nights at 9pm central and im loving it. hasnt been any real heists yet, but its kinda the life leading up to it and all. anyone seen this yet? this episode just on was real good

ive been thinking about this subject and i really do agree that the epa should further study the effects of teflon on humans. after all we coat our cooking pans in cancerous material? and some people use it with wires. heres an article on it: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/8404384/ whats...

i have a problem. i have a habit of chewing on the cords of headphones and ill start doing it and not even notice. ive tried substituting the wires with a rubberband but that didnt last long. my insatiable appitite for my 580's cord is getting out of hand and i wanna know if you guys crave wire?

http://www.audiocubes.com/product/Au...eadphones.html well those are them, ill prob be getting the gold ones. it says it has good bass and thats what im looking for. has anyone ever used these and can validate this? Would these be on par with the sony mdr xd400's? thanks for helping me if you...

I got this audigy 1 free from my friend, and there is only one problem with it, which made him not want it. The headphone jack only will push in half way into the output, because the gold metal thing on the bottum part of the jack is bent up and over, covering the middle. I have tried everything...
