Alota Friggin Fire Foam. LOL Sorry for having a laugh at your expense Mike.

Why would it make you angry? Michael, in the real world you will find there are a lot of people who will f*ck you to make a buck I used to believe in Karma, but it doesn't always go around Mark There is no such thing as karma. Evil and greed yes, karma no. I will burn my KHorns for firewood before someone steals them for $1000.

Nope. Lol, your answer was a bit terse. Care to elaborate. If there is a short of some kind in the amp that could cause a shock, would that not trip the circuit breaker in the power cord and cut the power. Sorry about the short answer, I did not think you wanted an explanation. But briefly, if you have defeated the safety ground anywhere in the cord supplying power to a piece of equipment that has the third prong it does not matter how close to the equipment a circuit breaker is. It will still not trip. If you have a 'fault' in your equipment and the chassis gets energized and the path to ground is open(by installing the cheater) there will be no overload current flow for the breaker to sense.

Nope.

Probably that sloth from a page back.

If this is a serious question I will attempt an answer: The cheater plug disconnects the chassis of the equipment plugged into it from the ground in your house. If there is a 'fault' in the equipment (fault defined as a short circuit of the hot wire to the chassis) the chassis would then be energized to line voltage. If you then touch the chassis depending on how good of a conductor you are to ground you could be shocked or in the worst case electrocuted. Admittedly in home stereo equipment the chances of a 'fault' are minimal. Many pieces of stereo equipment don't even have a third prong. But a good rule to follow is: If it has a third prong it is there for a reason, do not defeat it on a permanent basis. Find the real cause of your ground loop hum and fix it.

Does the AVR have reset button? Sometimes hidden. Press it, sometimes more than once is neccessary.

One is a 'straight' cable the other a 'crossover' cable. Most modern enet switches will self detect and work with either. Back in the day this was not so.

Just got off the phone with Carl, then I see this. Happy Belated BDay. For the next 3 months I'm only 2 years older than you

And this is immoral and nothing but greed run amuck. I don't care who you is you ain't worth $100 million a year, sorry your job is not 2 thousand times harder than mine. Just my $.02

Done. BTW, where you been?

'Firm' is an often misunderstood word

An XLR to RCA adapter will short pins 1 and 3 of the XLR end together. As I said in an earlier post this may or may not be OK for a balanced output.

Ay Carumba! These are not the same. One has a 2 conductor cable the other 3. The 2 conductor will force the inter chassis ground current and signal ground current to travel down the cable in the same wire. This MAY or MAY NOT cause audible artifacts(length of cable, noisiness of environment, magnitude of impedance mismatch, luck, etc....). The 3 conductor will give seperate paths for chassis currents and signal currents and ideally the chassis connection will be the shield of the cable. Yes it is still unbalanced but should yield the quietest possible connection. One must always think: 'where is the current going to flow?' This is for an unbalanced output feeding a balanced input. As I alluded to in my earlier post the balanced output to unbalanced input requires more data to implement correctly.

Dave, You beat me to it. I know you wouldn't want to steer the OP in the wrong direction. Eric

^Yum...... Cheers Ah....whatever this was for Dizrotus's Imperial IPA

Youthman, I think those are just plain old birch Scalas painted black by someone, not industrials. But I could be wrong.

Awesome. A dog in a shelter gets adopted. Best news I've heard today.

Shoulda gone to the pub. Then others could laugh as you drool.

Yea they makes noise and take up space.

Good Sunday Morning All, Up at the crack of.......oh yea the sun is getting up earlier now. 3 cups of Joe down, ready to go. So many chores to do, need to just pick 1 and hopefully get it done. Happy All Saints Day Catch ya on the flip side.

Touche'

Yea I wasn't questioning you using them, I want to know where you got them. Just like the binding posts. Sorry I wasn't clear.

Justin, those look really good. So these are the ES300s? What is your impression crossing over out of the bass bin so low? Whose input terminals do you use? And grill pegs? I getting ready to build some sub cabinets.

Happy All Hallows Eve to all.
