    For the mods... Time to send this thread to the asteroid fields that were once the peaceful planet of Aalderan... "to the hall of shame this thread must go" as Yoda might say...
    I've requested a few times for this thread to get an X. But if it keeps going, I'll keep baking pies.

    Only seconds left to correct that "yoy", LV!

    As for what Yoda might say, I think it might have been something like "to the hall of shame, this thread, to go, it must! Yes, yes, yes!". Just an innocent suggestion though. Don't go getting annoyed or anything, and starting that heavy breathing thing that is just so uncool.
    Alea jacta est!

    Hahahah... I thank you for your suggestion, but I think I know that green troll Yoda better that you. That is why I am after SEAFART so much. Trolls are terribly annoying and he is the scourge of the universe.

    You are an idiot.

    Where are these pictures? What's wrong? You made up this whole BS story about manufacturing speakers and now you have nothing to back it up?

    Wow...your life must be pretty dull if you have to make up stories in an attempt to seem interesting, to a bunch of people that can't stand your presence. That's really sad.

    See ya later cockmonkey.:D:D

    Admit it now: you are just jealous because you have always aspired to be the ultimate scourge of the universe!

    P.S. Do you do smileys in between planet destructions?!

    How unfortunate that you underestimate my powers. I am a Master of the Force, and the Dark Side is my ally. I bring peace to the Galaxy by enforcing order and obediance to the Emporer. Trolls such as the Bantha Poodoo known as Seafart upset that order and must be destroyed.:cool:

    I beleive the term you seek can be found in an ACME unabridged dictionary, medical edition...

    Needilus Microdicktum- a person who's **** is so small that it can only be found with a scanning electron microscope. So small is this appendage that a common housefly or mosquito is hung like a horse by comparison.

    Not at all. A cockmonkey is someone who has no common sense, can't understand logic and generally is a narrow minded twit.

    Essentially, Seafire is the equivalent of a monkey playing with it's ****, thus, he is a cockmonkey.

    This is one of my favorite words as of late. It can be used to describe all sorts of things.

    For instance, earlier today, the original battery in my dads truck went dead. We were trying to get it out to replace it, and the way it's built into the truck is really stupid. There's roughly an inch or so of room to work with while trying to get the bolts out of the battery terminals, which are side mounted. They could have been top-mounted, and eliminated the whole problem.

    There's also a filler neck for the radiator fluid which conveniently sticks right over the top of where the battery needs to be pulled out, so it has to be removed to get the battery out. It could have been angled to the side instead of towards the back and eliminated the whole problem.

    The battery compartment in my dads truck was designed by a cockmonkey.

    Get it now?:p;)

    Your stories are much different though Russ. They're entertaining, and not at all cockmonkeyish in any way.

    What happens is, I'm sure many of you know, when an amplifier is clipping, the signal is no longer being sculpted by the amp. It's not a sign wave with peaks and dips, it's straight 120V, from the wall outlet to the speaker. That's why clipping an amp blows speakers more easily than overpowering a speaker.
    That's not clipping...it may be something else, but it's not "clipping". Clipping is where the amp doesn't have enough power to push the full amplitude of the called-for sine waveform, so the wave is chopped off and becomes more of a square wave. Very damaging indeed, but not "straight 120V".

    Justin left has departed from this thankless crowd, and patrick hasn't been active much. This thread needs to disappear like seadoo.
    Please. Please contact me a ben62670 @ yahoo.com. Make sure to include who you are, and you are from Polk so I don't delete your email. Also I am now physically unable to work on any projects. If you need help let these guys know. There are many people who will help if you let them know where you are.
    Thanks

    I don't under stand the price for speaker cables....some cost more then the equipment there hookup to....The price is insane. The Stereophile mags review these....of course there not going to say anything bad about them..they get paid to do this...then sit there and try to tell you....oh yes we hear this one gives you more highs, or this one is more clear.....BULL...

    Sorry..it's a piece of wire...when you get to a certain point...thats about it.

    I have a 12 gauge speaker cable, I will not say which kind. I went and spent $250 (on sale)...some supposed great cable......NO DAM DIFFERENCE.

    No way you could tell the difference between the 2. Now OK...."MAYBE" if your playing some violin thing........MAYBE you could hear something different, but my guess would be NOT. If I changed cables on these "reviewers"...they would not have a clue............

    OK, I play mostly rock and blues, but do throw in some classic music.

    If Stravinsky, or Tchaikovsky..sound the same to me, over different cables..well I get the fact.....basically you have just been riiped off, because it's called "audiophile"....and no I'm not tone deaf...I've mixed CD's for people , run PA mixers...I know what good sound is.

    It's like Boats...if it's marine..you pay a ton....same crap you can buy for cheap...Audiophile.....the price goes up.....

    Most of this "sound" is precived..just because you spent..300 plus on a cable.
    Thanks Bob....

    I am glad you thought of mynoks. They feed on cables and other wiring. Perhaps they could be of some use to us... I wonder if they could be used to eat the bs in this thread, then track the source of it back to the Seafart's hidden base. Once located my Super Star Destroyer could be dispatched and destroy him...

    Thanks Keiko... I leave now for I have work to do...

    As strange as it may seem, I am starting to like this thread. The way it morphs is simply amazing and, in a sense, a reason why it should not die. Tense moments, productive moments, troll moments and silly momements. It's got it all!
