  1. My pool chlorine generator went out on me. After seeing a new board would cost over $400 I did some investigating. It seems the Inrush Current Limiters are prone to failure. When I pulled the board sure enough this is what I found. The piece on the table used to be inside of the capacitor looking thing.

  2. I am also curious if there is anything else other than Duratex paint to finish the boxes. They are made of MDF.

     

    Primer and black satin latex looks great on them.

    +1 on this. Fill all cracks and low spots with wood putty then sand smooth. Makes for a seemless finish.

  3. I know it's too late now but are you sure you didn't have the rear switch in high pass? Also the stereo, mono, bridge switch was in stereo, right?

    I've over looked things like this before.

    yep.  i had it in stereo mode.  and not sure about the high pass question.  here's a screenshot of that menu ...

    My bad. I thought that amp had physical switches on the back.

  4. My sub is DIY Dayton 15" Titanic. 7ft3 box with single 6" port tuned at around 22hz. It has impressed everyone who has heard it and kept up with Lascalas at full volume. It digs way below what I can hear and the pressure in my ears could become uncomfortable in a 24x22 room. Just food for thought.

    I have not heard the 18" Dayton's so I can't compare.

  5. i was interested in the Onkyo TX-NR828 any thoughts?

    I am a huge fan of Onkyo, I own the TX-NR717, but the Onk's have had HUGE and well-known problems with the HDMI boards.

    Before you buy an Onk I strongly suggest you Goggle the 828 and see if it has the HDMI problem (aka network problems, the network is affected by the HDMI daughterboard) I would tell you if I knew the answer, but I am not as familiar with that model as the older 717 and 818, which DO have that problem.

    I'll let others who own the C2's recommend specific brand AVR's which are known to work good with them.

    Glad I decided to go with the denon instead then ... Thanks for the input

    I have the Onkyo 717 and it did have the hdmi board issue. After the free repair it is a very solid AVR. It really shines at networking and multi zone.

  6. Got a call from my new boss saying two guys that work for me are laid off. Since he had never met them I offered to inform them of the decision. Truly one of the hardest things that I have ever done.

     

    I understand why some people don't care for oilfield workers very much but please understand that these folks are hard working Americans. It is not in our best interest to let OPEC have so much control over oil prices. There have been thousands of lay offs in the oil industry and no one but oil workers seem to care.

  7. A couple of years ago I downloaded a piano recording from Dave. It was by far the best recording I had and really made me love my LaScals's with a sub-woofer. I still have the recording but the LaScala's are gone unfortunately. Dave is a master in my opinion. I could close my eyes and imagine the placement of the piano. Dave confirmed what I was hearing and I then knew my system was right.
