Attempting to DIY a project at work to use testing dialysis machines temperature settings. You have to connect 4 parts with different resistors one at a time at the present. Have a box with switch with 4 settings. I know how to make the box work, but I've got a question. My boss told me I have...

Looking for the name of the song on We Were Soldiers. I think it was in a battlefield scene. Words sounded like " And here they come, from the cold cold grund" Really not sure but it had a good sound. Anyone know what I'm talking about? Sgt. McKenzie is the name of the song. Had to...

Just curious if there are any other Masonic members on the forum. I joined the Wahabi Shrine in Jackson, MS today. For part of the initiation I was dressed with makeup, red hair, BIG hooters and had to march in a Christmas parade and serenade people. It was interesting to say the least. I...

Received the Dell DJ today. Tired of waiting for Zen NX backorder. I downloaded Dudebox on the advice of Dell if you can believe it. They actually have a link to red chair on their DJ forum. First impression: This thing is small. From all the reviews, I was expecting a pocket ripping cigar...

I initially ordered a Dell DJ and changed to Zen NX after reading reviews. Zen has been on backorder for 2 weeks. Thinking of changing order back to DJ. Anyone here have one? Has anyone played with one? I've read several reviews and it seems like a nice mp3 player, but I'd like to read a "real...

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...onics&n=172282 Are these the same KSC35s as before they were d/c? $45.99???? Ahhh... ic.. they're not being sold by amazon itself.

Ordered a Dell DJ a few minutes ago. (Well, actually wife ordered it so I would quit moaning and dropping hints.) I actually wanted an iHP120, but the wallet didn't have the extra 60 bucks. I'll post a review as soon as I receive the unit. After reading through the posts, I called Dell...

My wife bought me a jacket for the colder weather. This is a leather Izod multimedia jacket. It has an inner removable layer with 2 small pockets for a cell phone and a pda on one side. The other side has a small pocket and a large pocket for mp3 player and headphones. There's even a "tunnel" to...

I've searched the forums and can't seem to find what I'm looking for. I'd like to build a cmoy on a Hansen board. Anyone have a site or thread that may have info? Anyone built just a plain cmoy on one of these boards? Any information is greatly needed and appreciated. Henry

Can you build a pigtail with male mini instead of the line in on a cmoy? Any articles on this?

What's the worst trade and the best trade you've made regarding audio equipment? This would include purchases also. I'm a newb, so I've only done a few trades. I'd just like to see what some of the more experienced have learned from their trades.

I've been using a 6 foot cable mini-mini for my jukebox to car stero hookup that I picked up at rat shack. I've since modded my dash with a mount for my jukebox and I need a cable <1 ft. Does anyone make these? Also I could use it with my amp and jukebox for portable listening. (Don't like to...

I've just ordered a used pair of Shure 2s. I have a few questions if anyone can answer. What are the filters I've read about? Does anyone have a website where you can order new foamies, etc? Again, my wallet is opening.

My main source for music is my Archos Multimedia Jukebox 20. I use it in the car connected to the input on my stereo. Anyone else have any of Archos' players?

I have actually caught on to the "member of team _" But some are kind of confusing. I saw one person that said member of team useless poster. What's the real deal with the team labels?

I know CMOYs are old news to most of you here, but this is my first DIY amp and I'm proud. I'd first like to thank VoodooChile for all the help and inspiration. Without his support I could never have won this award.......ooops wrong speech.. Seriously VoodooChile, Tangents tut, and this...

I found a new can of plasti-dip in my cabinet. Remnant from a few years ago when I coated all my tools' handles. Can this be used as liquid tape? It says it insulates and is non-conductive, so my guess would be it will work. Only thing is the clear color, but since it's paid for........

We had a house fire here on Sunday night that killed 5 children. The oldest child was 10 and the youngest 1 1/2. No parents at home when the fire occurred around midnight. Parents arrested and charged with negligent manslaughter and felony child neglect. What a pathetic life for a child to be...

What will be the result if you use 10k resistor instead of 4.75 on the cmoy for R3? I understand this will change the gain. But will it be a "noticable" effect? Would it be advisable to remove the resistors and replace them before I get too much farther?

Reading the subject you would think this should be in DYI. But No, I'm ranting. If you can print a damn color band on a resistor, why not print the actual number on the thing. What's the deal with color bands anyway? I would imagine it's for quick identification. But only if you know what you're...

Ok everyone, I need some advice/information. The local rat shack moved to a new location last year and gave crates of stuff to the high school. They didn't use it, so it was bing stored. Friend of mine works there and offered me the pick of the boxes. I've got bags of: 1/8 watt resistors...

I've searched the forums and can't seem to find what I'm looking for. I've read most of the posts on CMOY amps and saw several references to the Hansen Amp and it appears this may be an upgrade from a CMOY. Anyone have a direct link to detailed info on this amp? On a side note: I've gathered...

With the RIAA attempting to destroy P2P, I have a twist on the situation I'd like to discuss. I have an Archos Multimedia with a FM module. I can listen to the radio and when I hear a song I like I push record and I have the song- has a 30 second buffer so I can start after the song is playing...

A friend gave me a Snap-On dual temp butane soldering iron and solder wick/braid. I've got to pick it up tomorrow. Is this an acceptable starter iron or should I buy an electric? I've used an electric iron at work, but have never used the butane kind. Obviously at a lower temp you decrease the...

Noob here. Of course I've already placed the wallet in the cd tray so ya'll can access it anytime. If you buy an amp from someone here, is it acceptable to open the amp and build your own on their specs? I have asked the builder this, but I'm curious if I maybe made a goof by even asking...
