    Welcome to the IHoP

    Speaking of clean energy, I saw some cool forms of it on the history channel. Both of the one i saw used the sun. here's one of them http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PS10_solar_power_tower
  2. We'll at least they'll be dead soon! Lol best quote of this whole thread. But it's a law like this that will guarantee to get results. One person gets a vehicle impounded, it is bound to make an impression on everyone else who drives around wanging. But I see peoples opposition. It's a very strict penalty for a very minor "crime", and police and the city officials are using their power to an extreme. I personally think that people should be respectful with their stereos and that police officers should worry more about real criminals rather than a few kids who don't know any better. And that's about all i have to say
  3. Hey! it's another guy who uses his name for his forum ID! I'd agree. It's disrespectful and annoying when it's two in the morning and then thump thump. The whole impounding thing is pretty harsh for a stereo violation, but I bet people will learn real quick

    Lemme guess.........ordered online and got it via mail today? Dick.....J/P LOL.....i want it hella bad but NOOOOOOOOOOOo not released till tm. J Lol i din't even say what artist/album...whoops. Atmosphere-When Life Gives You Lemons, Paint that chit Gold Yeah I pre-ordered about a month ago and I must have been one of the first 1000 cause I got a copy of strictly leakage and the autographed copy. WHOOO You'll have to check it out Godsmack. Possibly a new favorite? We'll see how well it grows on me Dude u said "Paint that chit Gold"............too freaking obveous. i was gonna pre-order and just never did. i am buying the CD right after work today. I have been an Atmosphere fan for almost 8 years now. I am hoping for a 4 day weekend on the 5th when he plays Pheonix. J I made it to his last show at First Ave. It was awesome. The DVD that comes with the deluxe edition of the CD is all from the last two shows at first ave. Hopefully I can make it so Soundset 08 at the Metrodome Don't bother, the acoustics at the Metrodome are terrible. As in perhaps the worst venue in the country. It's an outdoor thing. parking lot. It's only rap so acoustics aren't huge.

    Phono Input Question

    I've been running the cover off for a while now. No more smells! I have not yet gotten the pots cleaned. I tried to just work them a bit and see if it got better, but with no luck. All the ton controls work fine and don't make any noise when adjusting. The volume pots are the only ones with trouble. I'll have to make a trip to radio shack sometime later this week/weekend and pick up supplies. I hooked up my PSONE last night to listen to CDs for the first time. Everything seems to be working great! I was wondering about the output tubes but referenced google and found my answer. They seem to glow blue inside the tube, not the filaments. Just blue lines on the inside of the tube. Kind of tripped me out at first, but from what i found, it said that something(I forgot what) glows blue internally. Hows the Altec coming Mike?

    efficiency

    Yep Bingo. Geek-speak for it is a "tank circuit" and when tuned to the desired harmonic, it accepts that frequency and rejects others. Back in the '20s and '30s a bunch of people came up with different circuits to do the same thing (Hartley/Colpitts/Armstrong oscillators, etc, etc) but they're all just variations on the same LC circuit theme with different numbers of caps or inductors.Cool stuff. I thought about getting into Ham but I can't afford another hobby Yes everything you just said about class C amps just came back to me. lol

    Welcome to the IHoP

    No chit? The outter corner of my right eye has been twitching for, I chit you not, two weeks...at least. chits Weak! Eye twitches can be triggered by a variety of different factors. Some of the conditions that cause eye twitches are environmental, some are physiological, and some are psychological in nature. Below is a list of some of the more common causes of eye twitch: * Fatigue or lack of sleep * Over consumption of caffeine * Physical or emotional stress * Anxiety or phobias * Brain damage or other neurological disorders * Associated with temper tantrums (especially in children) * Eye stress associated with extended viewing of the computer screen * Epilepsy Lol here ya guys go! Could be a combination of the first two. Mostly the second.

    efficiency

    lol. I looked into building a Zen amplifer a while back and I was looking at below 10% efficiency! What would be a guesstimate for tube amp efficiency? I never really though about it? The theoretical maximum for a true Class A1 amp (tube or solid state for that matter) is 25%...I haven't put a clamp meter on the monoblocks yet but I'd be surprised if they were above 20%. Push/pull amps are significantly more efficient. Something like a Dynaco ST70 actually runs pretty cool, while I wouldn't suggest touching the tubes in use the transformers don't get anywhere near as hot as in a SET, for example Actually, some of the most efficient amps in the world are Class C amps that may use tubes, the problem is that without specifically tuned circuits they're prone to all sorts of distortion and nasty harmonics, and such can be only used for very narrow bandwidth applications...mostly RF transmission. Lol class C. I have never worked with them, but I vaugely remember them. Dont they just use and inductor and capacitor and resonate at the FR? Jim aren't you an RF guy? HAM/CB?

    Now Playing!

    The New Atmosphere album! One day early!
  22. NICE. I am a bit more than excited to see a project like this. 100 bucks over budget isn't too bad. When is the build going to start?
