Today I acquired...........

[Kayos]

I see, so one input has a high pass filter and connects to the tweeter and the other has a low pass filter connected to the woofer. I was imagining the connectors went straight through to the drivers and you needed a separate crossover between the amp and the speakers (Or perhaps an active crossover before a pair of amps), that struck me as more audiophile (And expensive ).

I've been looking at speakers and amps a lot recently, I had my Sonos stolen and need something to replace it. I had been considering an amp/dac board for a Raspberry Pi and a pair of speakers off eBay, but... I've got a 15" Wharfedale driver under my bed waiting for a cabinet, so maybe a DAC+DSP board with two extra output channels and software defined crossover for the big woofer, then I just need some amps. Oh how easily I get carried away.

If you want active look at this https://www.minidsp.com/

However at home with decent cabinets and placements then I prefer passive crossovers

I have won sound quality competitions in car audio, 4 way active front end plus sub gets complicated quickly, lots of amps and cables plus needing the processor to control it all

I’ve got the minidsp running my large sound in the barn. Was a bit of a faff setting up as it involved the use of a computer.

But now I’ve got my head round it, it’s an awesome bit of kit.

Highly recommended if anyone’s looking for a fully active set up

I had the 8x8 in my last install, still had to wire the sub straight to the head unit

Yesterday I stopped by a charity recycling place called " Too Good To Waste " where I got a New two basin sink, six used plastic organizer boxes with four drawers in each, and a Laurel & Hardy boxed DVD set; all for £30.00, then went to Lidl and acquired three pair of tool holders for my roll cab at £2.99 for each pair, which was half price. Even though the sink was missing the attachment clips, it was a bargain at £20.00

Mike put kitchen sink securing clips into your serch engine to see if you can find the right clips … there is a lot available for around £10 per sink installationpack

Hmmm, 15" in a transmission line cabinet would sound rather nice....

Thank You, I'll have a look.

Thank You, I'll have a look.

You might find that ikea customer services can source you some: and probably free (if they came as part of the sink pack, rather than as an extra).

 

[Shox Dr]

I would have though all ikea sinks would use the same clips.

the last time I was in Leeds they had assortment of hinges, handle, clips etc for this and that, loose in the returns department

I think i got spare clips from Ikea and my mate who fits kitchens used to just dump all the left overs in a bag at my house so i used to have plenty of spares

I have to buy an adapter to use some Hitachi tools with parkside batteries

If you find one let me know, I use all hitachi 18v push in & the newer slide on battery type & the new batteries are expensive.
But I have a few parkside 18v li-ion batteries bought when they were on offer gathering dust, I would like to use them for something!

Found on eBay it's a 3D printed base you have to solder wires and screw it in place
10 euros
I have an 18V lamp I want to recover
A friend of mine can give me more Hitachi 18V nicd tools

I needed some steel to make the legs for another anvil stand so I raided a friend’s scrap bin and dug out these 50mm solid rollers. They should be nice a stable.

There seems to be no end in sight for my hose clip addiction...

£13 delivered...bargain...made in USA too

I bought a cheapneese version which was handy...allows you to make up your own hose clips...very handy.

A feeling of relief.

Fitted a new gpu to the computer yesterday.
Getting brownouts when 3d graphics were underway.
Guessed at the PSU

5 minuites later with a bang and a flash I was proved correct..

I'd already ordered a new modular PSU before it blew.

The feeling of relief.

I didn't toast any components when It blew.

New supply fitted and working. Might be able to get a stable oc now

 

[dobbslc]

Similar to me when I fitted a new charging port to my old HTC phone and it worked!

Very tiny screws!!!

Lol. I'd just spent 100 quid on the GPU. 80 on ram.
Another 140 on SSD.
My fingers were tightly crossed

 

[dobbslc]

I don't understand any of the above ^

 

[eLuSiVeMiTe]

I don't understand any of the above ^

Storage graphics and working memory
All of which might have been scrap.
Would have been a good excuse to upgrade though
