    Upgrade or new computer???

    A speedup no hardware needed. You said Java 6 min for games. I would start with the Java environment remove all versions from control panel / add remove programs . Get SDK flavor of java from here Java SE Downloads See how that goes for the Games, P.M. me for details of problems with java...

    Post Your Home Theater Here!

    Here is the Subbie Channels until some one nicked some of my equipment last year havent got around to rebuilding it yet. They are hand me downs with a little of craftsmanship on my part on some of them.

    Decision time: Denon X4000 - Onkyo TX-NR929 - Sony DA2800ES - Pioneer SC-1323K

    I'm No Guru. So only biased on the power supply consumption at 120 V and product weight specs I found online. If it was my money I would have the Onkyo TX-NR929 if it has all the features you are needing.

    What name can you give a person that downgrades you HT to stereo speakers on your TV?

    While the mouse was away the cat downgraded and rearranged my Home Theater and WIFI music server system. My 19 inch rack cabinet is in the shed with speakers and I am reduced to TV speakers and a notebook and cheap computer speakers..Not happy JAN..Well the cat is out for awhile and the vintage...

    A 3 Phase amp driving a single phase sub. Open Source now. Who wants to play with fire?

    This is my idea but I don't have the money to develop it so I declare it open source. May not work any different to a normal amp my ears are too old to tell..I may buy a broken one in 10 years for next to nothing..So here goes.. You have to use 3 class b outputs phase shifted connected with...

    Damping Factor What happens if I put a resistor in series with the speaker?

    OK Cool.. Tube sounds...does anybody know if there are recordings of tube sounds anywhere I could DL to compare eg Prefer TNT AC/DC Oh I have noticed that some onboard sound cards dont have the low end frequency response one needs..Use a name brand with lots of little capacitors on the pcb.

    Damping Factor What happens if I put a resistor in series with the speaker?

    I just wanted to know what effect a resistor the same value as the speaker has on the damping factor? Then for example I put 4 amps in parallel via resistors (in order not to blow them up) what does it do to the damping factor overall. Wire has a big influence on a speaker output quality...

    Damping Factor What happens if I put a resistor in series with the speaker?

    Damping Factor = Z Load /Z Source Say an Amp has 4 ohm load with D F 100 4 / 100 = 0.04 ohms output impedance of the amp. Does the D F halve or go to below 1 if I add a 4 ohm in series with the load? 1. 8 / .04 = 50 2. 4 / 4.04 =0.990099 Just not sure which side it needs to be on. Just to...

    Amplifier Slew Rate What is it?

    In the early 90' when Mosfet amps came out a Slew Rate of 50 V/uS was a good figure from memory. My understanding of it is that it relates to the response to the Amps response to harmonic frequency's in a signal. For example a 10 mHz bandwidth analog cathode ray tube is pushing to display 4...

    Does anyone know if I could buy a single sub with a 3 phase voice coil ?

    2 Phase speaker The input signals would have to be not 120 degrees apart (like 3 phase power) to get an output more like 22 degrees apart. My thinking is as 1 coil runs out of magnetic flux in the gap the other one still has plenty to push/pull the speaker cone movement at either end. On the...

    Does anyone know if I could buy a single sub with a 3 phase voice coil ?

    I would not have a clue, there is only one way to find out though if some one has done it before.

    Does anyone know if I could buy a single sub with a 3 phase voice coil ?

    Winter is coming soon and I would like to buy a sub with 3 separate voice coils and roughly 120 degrees apart on the coil former or maybe some other arrangement I can adjust the phase's in my program. I am working on a 3 phase Digital to Analog converter(nearly finished) to connect to 3 audio...

    What do you think of my home built stereo amp from the 80's?

    I found the Tone control box today This bass and treble control circuit was from and Electronics Australia Mag. I had a dig around for some parts and went and bought the rest. I used an old PCB from where I used to work and built it in 3d or if there was not enough room I went vertical with...

    What do you think of my home built stereo amp from the 80's?

    Cool. I need to recap the amp and find a old 12 volt coil not a 6 volt one. I will let you guys know when have video.

    What do you think of my home built stereo amp from the 80's?

    The wood screw was used because on the other side of the heat sink the amps are mounted so there was no room. The cable tie on the screw is for strain releaf of the cables.

    What do you think of my home built stereo amp from the 80's?

    I could clean up the wires but there is not much room left on the back panel though. I had it in a 19 inch rack cabnet see pic so the wire did not matter. I used it a lot to drive half of these subs, some movies they rattle the window, I had to put silicon on the backing wood of the wall unit...

    What do you think of my home built stereo amp from the 80's?

    I would of bought the 2 ETI 480's 100 Watt version about 30 years ago. I had the amps in the back of a Philips Radio Gram for many years but only with one transformer a 24-0-24V instead of a 33-0-33V so the output power was down, I had connected a Musicolor 3 to the coloured lights in the...

    Watt formula is possible to convert kgs or power consumption to watts rms?

    Oh dear too much homework. All I really need is the peak to peak voltage on the rated load and I will do the rest, a pic of the output on a CRO would do if I could see the dials and maybe a little background illumination to see the grid. I will have to order my text books again after 25...

    That was in the days, way before PMPO power was invented.
