  • OT (in connection with the Habu thread)

    First of all, I want to get rid of the fact that I have read it with joy that more and more people and communities are thinking of others. Because I think it’s time for everyone to look around for those who are so tormented by life. Surely there are many who are responsible for it themselves, but also many who could not prevent it or just got into a very modest situation without being able to do something about it. Last Saturday I was on a gift hunt in Düs Seldorf, I take the subway to the Kö, with the escalator towards Sevens (and Saturn) high inconspicuously see on the left a young gentleman, vl so three or four years older than me, with the “fiftyFifty” standing in the Höndes, nothing telling, but looking at it. I thought to myself “soon again one of these” and went up to the Sevens (on the Kö), drove up to Saturn. I bought a CD for me, 20Euro, US import. I did not buy any gifts. Then I came out below again. And I thought, “He’s still standing there, same facial expressions, same posture, still no shine in my eyes.” And then I thought, “The ‘bitts’ you for 1,50Euro, of which he gets 75Cent (maybe) and you (so I) run here with new mobile phone, MP3 player, washed, matching and stabs new pants/shirt and shoes around probably worth over 500Euro and he wants a euro”. Then I went to him, asked how he was doing and he said, “I’m actually doing g “Well, I sold 12 newspapers” and smiled at me. 12*1,5=18Euro. And that stands for 9.5h (as he told me). I talked to him about something, because I always think that if you want to live and the parents house is right at least school a lot can achieve (so you can complete your studies), and he said that he has a very good real school degree and has a completed carpenter’s apprenticeship… To finish, I bought a newspaper. and this not even taken away… I hope that here too jmd is the same opinion and not always says “Ach die sind selbst selbst” – it’s soon Christmas! EDIT: I just noticed: Current PC, μP Series 7 with Z170 MKIII, beamer under the ceiling… did the things myself (side job during the study/school), but despite the luxury nobody needs (and I don’t want to miss anymore). ps: Sry if I misuse this forum, but otherwise kan I don’t want to give it back without it noticing…

  • Purchase advice Sony GT 700

    Hello everyone, think about whether I should buy the Sony GT700. Unfortunately Sony is not so popular here in Germany, because the smaller radios in recent years had serious problems with the drives and the general quality. Installation is done in the VW Bora, connection to the not even so bad Front & Rear (T/M & Hochton separated) factory loudspeakers. Further expansion is not planned for the first time. Who can advise me a little, or, the radio has and can report whether there is I am particularly interested in the handling of MP3’s in terms of e.g. read-in speed, bitrates or problems with the MP3 files in general. Whether there are accessories like USB adapters or AuxIn, I have not yet been able to find out… (As an alternative, the Pioneer 6800 was to be discussed when it was still regular for almost 200,- Euro. New alternative would probably be the Pio’s 4900 or 6900s, which will be released in February).

  • How to optimize the system next? =)

    Hello! I don’t really have a problem, but I’m already thinking about what I could do next. Right now I have the SPL Dynamics 6.2 on a Concord ST50 (which will soon be replaced by Zimme’s Kicx VX300). So I think the front section is enough for me, power amplifier and front system are both just just bought, since there is no money left for spending. But the subdepartment is already expandable in my opinion, Atomic Manhattan 12D4 on Macrom M 2A.500d. I think the subwoofer would have even more potential, is currently in such 55-60Liter BR. The final stage is probably pretty close to its limit, runs eigtl also quite well together, does not want to scrape the sub. So what do you think, could I change something relatively simply? With little money of course as possible My dream would be a DD 9915 best in bandpass, but I would need a completely different level before and even more power and stuff. Ohso, Strom… mm2 cables from the battery to the cap and from there with a short (<30cm) 20mm2 cable to the power stages. Should that be enough, mass amplification on the battery I have also. So what could you do? Can you also build Manhattan in bandpass? I look after already months now, but have nowhere found a housing proposal and I can't calculate it myself... If you couldn't expand my system with little money, everything just remains like this, if then ma l n bitl money is there then equal subwoofer and final stage is replaced at once! If you think of anything you can write it! =)

  • Bad radio reception

    Hello, I recently installed a Kenwood 6029 Radio + Kna G520 Navi + KCA BT100 Bluetooth module + AIV – Multifunction roof antenna in my Opel Vectra C and must say that the radio reception is bad, Navi and phone have full reception, now my question, would an antenna amplifier bring something? MfG

  • Too little pressure, but why???

    Hi, I have a problem. And that’s the feeling that my Woofer somehow doesn’t bring the pressure he should. It’s an SPL Dynamics Pro 12D2 on an Emphaser EA2350. He gets laso 1.2KW as that belongs to a SPL Dynamics. He sits inversely in a 60L net box with four 47mmx280mm pipes. My car is a 73 Plymouth satellite, ergo a large, heavy Ami. The current is not yet perfect, as the lighting engine performance is too low, but otherwise the OK should be. I think maybe it’s on the floor.

  • subsequently shielding cables

    hi, have my cable laid separately just as dad it has always preached only in a small place is the power cable times 10cm away from the cinch cable, the length is maximum 5 – 10cm. I have a very quiet lima whistle, you really only hear it when no music plays and I think it comes from it. Could of course also be the millions of original cable trees lying next to the cinch cables… but now on the subject, it would have to be possible ‘somehow’ the signal cable night Roughly shield against EM interference (only stops at the point where it is so close to the power cable) will try if with a few lying alu foil goes away (only for testing) if not have to use higher quality cinch cable.

  • Who knows this radio?

    hello, I bought this radio today at the IFA. does anyone happen to know that? unfortunately they didn’t have any instructions, and they said they sent me this via mail. but don’t think it works. it’s a dvd-capable radio, can read mp3cds, has a video output, an output for amplifier, and bluetooth. radio works perfectly, but if I insert a cd, I don’t hear anything anymore. however, he plays the title, and I can also switch it on. a really good one, except: “chao yin” has ev someone that, or a similar one, and can answer me a few questions about it? would suuuper… please no instruction on qualities of “such radios”. thank you!

  • Thank you friends!

    Hello Kamaraden, young and old! I would like to thank you all for being much nicer and more friendly to me lately and accepting me as a full-fledged conversation partner! I am very happy to help here, but I also know that I am often teased at the beginning due to illness. Now I have the outbreaks already well under control and it makes me a lot of fun to help the beginners here and to argue with you. I think it’s good that you gave me another second chance and I hope some people here could be helped well from my side so far, I will continue to try to improve the solution rate here! Thanks again to everyone! mfg eure caraudiohans

  • Half OT: Basic principle of transistor reinforcement

    Since hamma the salad, the merendo absolutely wants to know how such a transistor amplifier circuit works in principle. To this end, the merendo has already rummaged quite diligently on the Internet, but only found very complicated and complex schematics without understandable explanations. Therefore, the merendo turns to you full of hope and despair. The merendo thinks, who knows with HiFi, could also know something. The merendo asks for a schematic of a transistor amplifier ers, and that is “as basic as possible”. No complex confusions that are not necessarily necessary, the merendo is only about understanding the basic principle. If possible, please with explanations. And don’t worry, the merendo is not schizophrenic (I do it all the more) The merendo says thanks for all the help!!

  • Mass point or minus pole – that’s the question here!

    Hi! in the last few days I hear more and more scary stories about noises because the mass cable goes back to the battery and that one should UNBEINGT take the shortest away to the mass (car body mass punt). so, now I come: as an incoming e-technology student I think to myself the following… -The circuit of plus cable – amplifier – mass cable is basically a row circuit of 3 resistors. -In the row circuit the voltages add to the total voltage. – I want v ie voltage at the amplifier – thus as low as possible resistance in the cables. – (now comes) when I direct the mass directly with the thick copper cable back to the battery the resistance is much smaller than when I first go over the blech car (conductor value!) and over several clamp-niet-foam connections and finally via the mass cable in the engine compartment back to the minuspole. So; money and expenditure are not important for me. I want a clean circuit without noise and Lei What now, mass point or directly back to battery mass? Maybe which answers can the mass have led back to battery minus and what experiences they have made. THANK YOU!
