Don't watch the video all the way through the human subject test if... http://www.ladyada.net/make/bedazzler/index.html

I'll answer later, I don't have time now. In the meantime, it is all laid out in my original post.

Please apply the correct voltage in your formula. If you apply the numbers incorrectly, you get the wrong answer. I answered what you asked in my rebuttal. You applied the wrong voltage. Apply the right voltage, you'll get the right answer. As I said this is pretty fundamental. Never...

Rebuttal. It didn't take long to get nasty. Imply what you will but do not imply I'm a thief or a plagiarist. That work is mine. All of it. My text, my schematics. If I reference some one's work they are credited for it. Normally I post the URL. If I quote someone, it will be...

Perhaps the same could be said about you Steve, I've been on the same tack since the beginning. That was the purpose of the calculations. You can't say you didn't know what was being determined, all the work was shown and illustrated. You rejected the conclusion and stated “The problem...

From Houston's thread - How would you hook up these three components If there is a four ohm load then a four ohm capable amplifier should be able to drive it - no?

What does "sees" mean? Steve, as you well know, amplifiers don't have eyes. Amplifiers are imperfect current sources. When operated within design specifications they respond largely, if somewhat imperfectly, to ohm's law. An eight ohm load will draw roughly half the current of a four...

Unless you're going cross country, what is the attraction of the pneumatic tires? I've had something similar to the R&R for over 20 years, made by Milwaukee. It has hard tires. lays down or stands up just like the R&R. I've just about worn the tread off the wheels. Can't say I'd like to have...

The nicest thing you ever said Steve, that's the nicest thing you ever said to me. I'm a big fan of Mythbusters and think they do a pretty good job. I can only aspire to do as well as they. Now, on to your myth. The question has always been what impedance does your speaker network present...

Yes. Yes...

A recent post re-introduced the idea of connecting speaker loads using both standard (stereo/dual) connection and bridge tied load in a single implementation. The given elements are: all three speaker loads are 8 ohms one of the speakers will receive 6db greater signal the amplifier will...

Good phones Those cans were highly recommended by more than one headphone review site. The praise was higher still when the moderate price is taken into consideration. I used to be a fan of Koss but that has ended. I don't know how their warranty works but I owned Pro4aa and Pro4aaa cans...

Hugh, while I thought Rick's answer was more humorous than you did (you Bose guys really are touchy about your Bose stuff) I don't think the relatively small amount of alcohol will help much. I think beer is going to leave a residue that will be fairly obvious. Kinda icky and sticky and ohh...

Studio Too many of the live albums have distracting audience sound. I'll call it audience noise. When I get stuck with the live track I'll cut the intro cheering so that my audience that may not be whipped into the frenzy yet doesn't have to sit through it. (yes, I agree that is purely my...

I use VDJ (Virtual DJ) and it meets my needs. The company line here is Rockit as Rick is the author and a supporter of this site. Lots of people really like Rockit and you can demo it right now by downloading it at no charge. The only limitation is that it craps out after approximately 30...
