Damned 'lectricians There is no right or wrong to which wire gets marked hot (for speakers). As Fred states, just keep it consistent. That said, it just seems too confusing (for me) to hook up a black speaker wire to a red speaker terminal. On two conductor: Red is positive (+) or hot Black...

Mizspeld? Perhaps the graphics were designed by a modern American college graduate? Only an old fart would have caught that one Fred. Good catch! A complaint after my own heart.

Yes, very perrishible My recollection was that at some point he used a (modified) ECM-50. They were very prevalent on TV for some time because they were so small. The electret mic end was a little smaller than a man's pinkie (finger tip). You'd spot them on lapels & dresses all over TV in...

Pee pee ca ca (not the amplifier, the rating) Jon what are you curious about? The numbers (claimed) are right there on the 2 ohm line (2 x 2250 = 4500). In today's environment if you can get a box to put out that power for a nanosecond you're good. Can you imagine if the rest of the...

Well! Houston, if you're going to "one up" me, I'm not playing any more.

How 'bout these? I assume Diafel, you want to connect two male ends together to make a longer single cable with male connectors on both ends? http://www.parts-express.com/wizards/searchResults.cfm?srchExt=CAT&srchCat=123&CFID=6367979&CFTOKEN=68810129 Take yer pick. Singles, doubles and triples.

I think this is why I've been having a private conversation with Cap about cable length for video, specifically NTSC composite video. I know from experience and theory a NTSC video signal can be shipped about 500 to 700 feet on RG-59 (75 ohm) coax. Cap has had experience where much...

Brilliant bull**** Jeeze, don't forget the hip waders! A shovel wouldn't hurt at all either. If you can't dazzle 'em with brilliant footwork... Truly brilliant bullsh**. My hat's off.

I gotta be me YouTube - Uh-Oh, Pt 1 by The Nutty Squirrels 1959 - Uh Oh! by the Nutty Squirrels It was either that or Louden Wainwright's, Dead Skunk. Dunno, Jon just got me onto and animal music mood with Dog named Boo.

Lobo We have to define hit. Top 40? Sorry Jon, I'd Love you to Want Me was a bigger hit than Me and You and a Dog Named Boo. Ah the glory of reference books! Seriously though, I did think Lobo had more than one or two.

In summation? For my money, yeah I'd like to have the physical CD. Then again I don't like to pay $10 to $20 for one track. So much music has the life expectancy of a fruit fly. Just yesterday I was being begged to play Chicken Noodle Soup and Money in the Bank for old time's sake. NOT! You...

Bobby McGee A couple of years ago I was watching my Sunday morning old farts program (Sunday Morning) on CBS. Kristofferson was featured in a segment. The conversation was about Kristofferson's early career and finally came around to Me and Bobby McGee. The reporter alluded to the much...

Does anyone know what album a studio version (not live version) of Lola can be found on? Thanks.

Kewl kopy of the exceedingly expensive Ampex with the eternally mounted amplifier/metering setup. How retro! By the way, one of the things that is tough to repair or replace is the rubber parts, most especially the capstan idler. A quick and dirty trick is to take the idler off and rough it...

RE: Turn the phone off! Have you taken a college class lately? The older folks are even worse than the kids. The moms (not necessarily MILFs) always seem to have those noxious polyphonic ring tones alerting them to respond to their brood right in the middle of the class.

The remains will be fed to the crows.

Take a poll and you can get almost any result you want just by changing how you ask the question and where you ask it. Mikey, if you ask that question in another forum you will get a different answer. This is not to say you've been given incorrect information, just that you asked the heavy...

I'm going to play Philadelphia lawyer here Cap. My understanding of a contract is there has to be some consideration given to both sides. If there is no consideration for the provider of of the services, there is no contract. So I assume you mean $1 gig is "free".

How 'bout who you wouldn't hire? I wouldn't hire Jon 'cause it would be so hard to get his big head into the venue.:sqlaugh: Just for you Jon, cause I don't usually use smilies. I'd hire Cap. It'd be really fun to tell him, "You suck! No, you REALLY suck.". Cap, I'm still laughing over...

Are we really talking about lube? I used to work on tape decks. My dad did too so I know what he advised as well. The proper answer is fine machine oil. If gun oil (lubricant) is a light, fine lubricant it ought to work just fine. One outfit I worked for was so cheap they wouldn't spring...

Spin baby spin! If we, the common people have learned anything from our elected officials we should have learned "spin". Oh, Mr. Border Guard, my poor relations Betty Boop and Jimmy Jeff are getting married on a budget. Auntie Flo is catering the event. Uncle Joe is a baker. He's bringing...

Passive isn't necessarily a dirty word Clark, in the world where most of us operate, where a second power circuit much less a third may prove problematic there are points of diminishing returns. No one would argue there is any practical alternative to some type of multi-amp arrangement to run...

100% are above average Like the children of Lake Woebegon* the denizens of these pages must truly all be above average. *National Public Radio has a very long running show called Prairie Home Companion. Each show they sign off from their fictional home town by saying "Where all the women...

This in the headlines: The poor child was subsequently crushed to death when a gust of wind toppled the precariously stacked array.

Point of diminishing returns. One thing that may be worth mentioning is, passive crossovers become increasingly impractical as power increases and frequency decreases. For sub-woofers only the least expensive moderate to low power systems can make practical use of a passive crossover. The...
