did you even read the posts in this thread before jumping in?

He's feeding the outputs to amplifiers. He needs a buffered device which was made clear to him before you joined the chorus. And, even then there's no guarantee that a run that long won't pick up noise.

And, yes, that diode would most certainly affect the AC component. It would lop off one half of the sine wage. Try looking at scope readings of a power supply before the and after the diode. Try taking a course or two in electronoics instead of cherry-picking bits and pieces that sound kewl off the internet.

How about this? Onkyo Wireless Music Streaming System - USB

Okay thanks, you are right. Yes, I have take electronics courses before, albeit a long time ago and looked at oscillisope. And you are right it would clip off the top of the sine-wave. Mea Culpa. I'll retake eletronics courses if you will take a diplomacy and interpersonnel skills couse.

I reread this thread and reread your posts, also :rolleyes:

Let's see problem is with the 75 foot run picking up noise. Maybe this is a possible solution Onkyo Wireless Music Streaming System - USB

I had some in the AF in the late 60's and still retain more than you did. The basics haven't changed all that much. You apparantly forgot a LOT from when you had those electronic courses.

Hey, I was quite subtle at first. I (nicely) suggested there was a problem with your "curcuit diagram" and suggested you to re-examine your logic hoping you would see the flaw, and I even offered you the possible alibi of it being a joke. Had you looked into what you posted instead of going on the defensive I'm sure you would have seen it. Now, had you simply said "oops... my mistake" or something similar this would not have festered. But you just kept digging your hole deeper and deeper, for all to see.

And, I work with people every day and I try to help them, not force-feed BS down their throats. And I don't like it when they try to do that to me, either.

I reread this thread and reread your posts, also :rolleyes:
So did I, and I have nothng about which to feel remorse. Can you honestly say the same? Are you really proud of your contributions in this thread?

We're here to help people, not pump up our ego and post count. I rarely "call out" someone's advice but sometimes, just sometimes, it's so off-the-wall that it begs to be questioned. I tried to be nice and subtle at first, but that got me nowhere. You just kept digging.

I'm sure you're a nice guy and really, really want to help, but at least stick to opinions on gear, or at least admit when you've gotten yourself in over your head on some tech issue instead of trying to BS yourself out of it.

And, yes, there are many people who know more than I do here and I have been wrong on some things, and sometimes you just have to man up and admit it. But, then again, If I don't know enough about what's being discussed, I simply stay out of it. I don't feel a compulsive need to post in every thread. It's quality, not quantity that I strive for.

peace out...

P.S. That USB device does look pretty nifty and would be a great solution if the range is realistic. I look at advertised ranges on wireless devices with a jaundiced eye, particularly when going through walls. Dunno if he wants to go for the $$, though,

Actually "Boys" .. my suggestion would work.

"Boys" Before you start discrediting me for my lack of knowledge, negative rep "I disapprove" and so forth, those of you that are so childish and immature as to not sign you negative comments. Maybe you are the ones who should do some reasearch and actually try it out!

You could be "men" and sign you negative comments, otherwise they are meaningless and have the same cojones level as their poster.

Peace.

No it wouldn't. Give it a rest.

Obviously you didn't understand their use in an "audio" application as referenced by some of these. They sure aren't used as you've shown them in your diagram. Perhaps in a "real" circuit designed for a particular use, but your implementation is simply silly.

Since I don't have an account to patentstorm, nor does my ego dictate that I need one, I didn't bother to read 'em. Please explain them to us or point to some items that use them, and how. Can you point to a circuit that is like yours, a simple diode in series with a speaker? will it do what you claim it would do, that is provide a "one way" signal to two different sources like the OP requested? I doubt it.

But, if I ever want just the top (or bottom) half of a sine wave on it's way to a speaker, as would be the results of your implementation, I'll keep your suggestion in mind. I do know that plus a capacitor or two, a few resistors and/or some inductors will provide me with a nifty DC source.

FWIW, all my negative comments are made in the open for all to see. Are you saying I'm not the only one who disagrees with your suggestions here?
