Am I just seeing things, or is the power supply board really only insulated from the case by some packaging tape?

Happy birthday!

Exposed solder joint on a transformer wire? No chassis safety ground? That certainly sounds safe. I can't see the pictures from work, but I'm somewhat afraid of seeing what the pictures look like.

Wish I was in Cali

I'm surprised that Logitech didn't replace it for you; both times I've had an issue with their mouse (G7 and G5) they've sent me a new one

To expand on that: normally you can rotate through the room correction modes with a button, with "off" being one of the modes. Some also have a separate button to turn on/off.

On all the Audyssey receivers I've used it's been extremely easy to change or turn off the room correction.

The irony is strong in this one. I'm still amazed at the "usb spec" wiki link...

Indeed! I'm curious how well the trinnov compares to audyssey room correction. I'm sure there's probably a shootout somewhere on the web, haven't looked yet though

Also interestingly enough, the Smyth Research guys had the Trinnov Optimiser setup and running on the speaker system at CanJam. They told me it was for room correction, but I didn't know at the time that it's a $13,000 piece of equipment. Ouch.

In my short stint with veneering, it sure does seem very simple. Leaving my test piece out on my window ledge with sun baking heat/cool cycles has not caused any ill effect on it either. Have you done any research into the vacuum bag systems out there? I've only had a cursory look and it doesn't look too pricey.

interesting how that "software" part gets dropped off along the way...

I must say that the K702's definitely require burn-in. I was pretty shocked at the difference when I compared filburt's well worn k701's (which I really liked) to my relatively fresh pair of k702's (didn't like nearly so much). After running them for a while they seem to have started to sound closer to how filburt's were.

The emotiva stuff certainly looks tempting, I'll have to look into them myself sometime in the future.

Great looking cases Steve! I do like those dovetail joints, very seamless looking

Too bad you'll never know!

That was a good one smeg!

Happy birthday Justin!

Are you speaking of on-die temp? IIRC, most Intel Xeon chips are only spec'd to 75C or so. Not sure what AMD thermal specs are though.

It's a cable that happens to fit in the USB jacks; connect at your own risk!

I guess there's definitely some interpretation when a spec lists specific requirements.

I think he meant digital volume control

Wikipedia as a reference for usb spec info....nice

I thought that thermal shutdown only happens after the maximum temperature spec of the processor has been exceeded?

I tried a new semi-gloss clear spraypaint as my final finish for my sub (last spray turned out to be incompatible and caused cracking of the paint) and it also caused cracking I'm giving up on spray paint for the final top coat and will just use brush-on poly. Well over 20 coats of paint on the sub....I'm at the point where I just want it done.
