General Chat / Re: No server list on AA2.5 menu.. (MACOSX 10.6)

Nah, that's all that I know of. I know at one time Jonny disabled the in-game server list but I think he brought that back because of complaining by users.

Wasn't there a hotfix for this? Might see what there is on google but I don't know how it would play with Assist. Sorry I can't help you much on this. DRAAT.net might be the place to get more info.

New foam surrounds arrived today. I got to work gluing them in place:

The glue adhered good to the cone since the surround was under pressure so I didn't really have to hold it or anything. But gluing the surround to the basket was harder, it just didn't want to stick down. So, I looked around and found some plastic bowls that matched the diameter and width of the surround and put some heavy objects on top. I have yet to see how it went but I think it will turn out great:

XN-Host is what this site and PostQuote is hosted on. It's got PHP 5, MySQL 5 and Ruby plus a bunch of other stuff. Server load is usually very low with practically no downtime. There might be free packages still but Rodger is very flexible in setting up a custom plan to suit your needs. Tell him Spanky sent you

The woofers in these are 8" and they're both built better and more expensive than the one you linked Skrewy. They're JBL 116H woofers. I did disassemble them and clean one woofer, I'm just lazy with uploading pics.

Hardware/Software / JBL L19A Speakers

Yesterday I was given some nice JBL L19A vintage speakers.

They do need new foam surrounds but the cabinets and everything else is really in great condition.

I have ordered new foam surrounds and binding posts for the banana plug cables I build earlier. I will post back with pics when I install them. I will also order new capacitors for the crossover circuit but that will have to wait until I have funds.

It's really easy when you get the process down and get your soldering iron super hot. What I do is put some flux on both the wire and the gold parts I will be soldering to then I get a little dab of solder on the iron and "tin" both the wire and the plug then combine the two and it melts together super quick and easy without burning insulation or your hands.

I also picked up my new DAC (Audio-GD NFB-12) today (http://twitpic.com/5fs0si) and got to use these RCA interconnects for the first time. I really like them. They're way snugger than any other RCA plug I've used and really sturdy too. I used to use the well known brand Neutrik but I will probably switch to these for anything else.

I lol'd when I saw the EXIF info say that the subject distance is over 2.6 million miles. Nice picture though.

There are literally a bijillion options in TinyPortal. I guess I had the permissions backwards. Should be ok now.

Ah, a force refresh (shift+f5) fixed it. Carry on.

It was finally released. Looks like there's a couple bugs on the site. I also can't re-install the chat box now. I will have to do some manual effort later.

Hehe, I did make them

Here's the plugs I used:

If I bought them and took them apart, I would have to cut the heatshrink off under the plug and slide the techflex back, take the picture and then reassemble it myself (which would require cutting the wire in order to fit more heatshrink on). May as well build one at that point

These are my 2nd RCA cables. The first would be these:

Same wire but different plugs and since I had techflex left over, I decided to put it on.

Hardware/Software / Custom RCA Interconnect Cables

« on: Tuesday, June 21, 2011, 19:41:08 PM »

This is somewhat a continuation of the previous thread that I made about speaker cables. I bought parts all at once to have materials for both these and the speaker cables but the slow shipping on the RCA plugs halted the creation of these. They are made with Mogami Neglex 2534, Techflex, 2:1 heatshrink and some interesting 24k gold plated plugs. I think it took about an hour and a half to make these.
