    Re: Computer speakers

    person: hey! I put my computer speakers here while I went inside to take a piss, WTF happened to them???

    kind of reminds me how after my suicide attempt I was cleaning out my apt to move back in with the folks, and throwing so much computer shit out. suddenly, I saw a dell desktop dimension next to the trash bins, I think 2600. I thought to myself, 'did I leave this here'. No, I didn't. I brought it in, had two NICE 1gb ddr400 c2 gaming sticks inside it. Also a P4 2.8. Person had like mcafee and norton on there and must of hated it being slow, tried to speed it up from the expensive sticks

        Re: Computer speakers

        yes. i gave up on computer speakers years ago.

        my computer connected via m-audio audiophile 192 card to 50w marantz amp which has 4 x B&W speakers in the corners of the room. its a 25m2 room and thats ok for now.

        i am still investigating the next setup and at the moment it looks like it might be a 300w amp and some speakers perhaps from http://www.turbosound.com and also a dac.

        then when i get a house like mikeys i will get a 15,000w system

        i need this stuff to play tracks like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lkf4jSVJEq4

        they would sound like crap on a mini system

          Computer speakers are also meant for near-field listening, unlike home stereos.

            Audiophile, audioshmile. Still using onboard AC'97 audio here.

            1979 Sharp SM-1122 amplifier, $0 (trash find, still with its original Rubycon and Elna caps, works like new).
            1978-era National [Matsushita] 6" speakers, $0 (been in family since new).

              old X58 triple channel board... memtest86 memory speed?
              by eccerr0r
              Anyone run memory speed tests with an old X58-based triple channel 1st gen or any other >2 channel board? The one I have is a Gigabyte I think.

              Anyway I had four 4GB DDR3-1333 modules in the 6 memory slots and got around 11GB/sec memory speeds assuming that it went dual channel since it didn't have enough modules for triple channel. Now I stuck in two more 4GB modules, but they are DDR3-1600. I'm still getting 11GB/sec speeds according to memtest86...

              Just wondering, anyone do memory speed analysis on these triple (and higher) channel memory boards? Are there any...

              Reverse engineering of 18650 4-channel tester
              by spleenharvester
              Hi friends

              I have reverse engineered this tester, schematic is attached and is complete except for capacitor values. These testers annoyingly have no model number but they are the ones you find on the first page of just about any website if you type in "18650 4-channel tester". There is also a 2-channel variant and a newer 8-channel variant. They are very cheap (about £15) and can measure voltage, current, internal resistance and capacity. They have a multicolour display for all these statistics. They also have terminal blocks so that if you want to use a breakout board...

              Philips F9217L-50R speakers – build quality impressions and DIY surround repair
              by momaka
              More Lo-Fi speakers and another DIY surround repair. The patient this time: a pair of Philips F9217L-50R speakers from a budget Philips rack/component system from the '80's. The system belongs to my brother in-law… or actually his parents. However, they didn't want it when they moved houses and he liked it anyways, so he ended up keeping it. It's a pretty cool-looking vintage system with a wood/veneer cabinet and shelves for records and cassettes. Unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to take a picture of it or get the model #'s (but maybe next time I visit, if anyone is curious?)

              Anyone happen to know what the exact failure mode is? Is it a Rifa?

              Bose Companion 5 - Unit Powers On then Cuts Off Shortly After
              by nobbnobb1
              Hi guys,

              Trying to salvage a Bose Companion 5 computer speaker system that powers off shortly after powering on. It's got a primary USB input (built in DAC) and an aux 3.5mm input. The USB appears to be the primarily source that tells the unit to power on (control pod LED goes green) as the unit has no power switch.

              When I first connect power to the unit, plug in the USB, it will play audio nicely for a minute before it drops out and the unit appears to go into standby (control pod LED goes red). It stays in standby and I cannot seem to power it back on without physically...
