Duggeh Posted November 30, 2007 Report Posted November 30, 2007 We have a pretty crappy router that BT gave us, and I cant even replace it with something better because getting into it to even find out all of the proprietary settings involves installing a software suite that makes the AOL browser look as small footprint, simple and stable as notepad. I have 4 housemates with 5 or 6 computers between them and they all run wireless and all like to download and file share, besides the router is literally on the hall table outside my bedroom door, so running the cable wasnt difficult.

nibiyabi Posted November 30, 2007 Report Posted November 30, 2007 Humidifier and a microphone from Newegg. I might be the first.
ojnihs Posted November 30, 2007 Report Posted November 30, 2007 optical cables, trying to make the aex work with my apogee. Apogee sez there's nothign wrong with it, so it must be the cable. Or something. did you just use the analog out of the AEX before or am I missing something?
Fungi Posted November 30, 2007 Report Posted November 30, 2007 Amazon shipped me Roxy Music - Avalon, Scheherazade/Song of the Nightingale, and Night on Bald Mountain+etc, but says Pierrot Lunaire will only ship in January.
grawk Posted November 30, 2007 Report Posted November 30, 2007 did you just use the analog out of the AEX before or am I missing something? You're missing something. I've used the optical out on the aex (and macbook) with the apogee. Then it stopped working after I took the apogee to a meet. But the optical out on both still works with the dac in my luxman integrated amp, so it's the apogee that's being picky.

n_maher Posted November 30, 2007 Report Posted November 30, 2007 I wonder if it's a sample rate issue?
grawk Posted November 30, 2007 Report Posted November 30, 2007 i figured as much. wonder what could have happened to the apogee that's making it so picky now. I don't know, but apogee tested it for 2 weeks and found nothing. So I'm hoping new cables fix it. I wonder if it's a sample rate issue? I'd think then it wouldn't work on the receiver.

grawk Posted November 30, 2007 Report Posted November 30, 2007 Snot? I'd hope apogee woulda caught the snot when they were checking it out.
Dusty Chalk Posted November 30, 2007 Report Posted November 30, 2007 I'd hope apogee woulda caught the snot when they were checking it out.Unless they just checked the coax or USB connections. Did you specifically tell them to check out the optical connection?
grawk Posted November 30, 2007 Report Posted November 30, 2007 Unless they just checked the coax or USB connections. Did you specifically tell them to check out the optical connection? Yes, that's what I sent it to them for. Talked to them on the phone several times. Told them coax and usb worked, optical didn't. That I was using it with an AEX and macbook and sony optical out on my dat, and that none worked. They said they tried a number of things, and couldn't get it to fail...

grawk Posted November 30, 2007 Report Posted November 30, 2007 guess that only leaves the cable... That's where I am. 2 new cables should be here in the next couple days.
Dusty Chalk Posted December 1, 2007 Report Posted December 1, 2007 You bought Quantum Mechanics? Dude, you was robbed. Me: Shahinian Obelisks (the Dynaudio Special Twenty-Fives and the Pioneer HPM-100's are now definitely going up for sale)
Salt Peanuts Posted December 1, 2007 Report Posted December 1, 2007 Digital cable from Blue Jeans Cable.
grawk Posted December 1, 2007 Report Posted December 1, 2007 guess that only leaves the cable... And the cable fixed it. Woo.
aerius Posted December 1, 2007 Report Posted December 1, 2007 A skate sharpening, some hockey tape, and arena rental fees. Hockey season starts tomorrow, oh yeah!

aerius Posted December 1, 2007 Report Posted December 1, 2007 Tomorrow? Jeez, you canadians do things backwards. They've been playing down here since early september. For the kids it did start around the same time as it did for you guys down there. For me, well, we're just 10-15 guys (and a couple women) who rent out the ice to play pick-up hockey on weekends, we're not in a league or anything, it's all just informal pick-up games.
n_maher Posted December 2, 2007 Report Posted December 2, 2007 And the cable fixed it. Woo. Outsatnding, Dan!
