I think it's important to find out if the coax digital out passes the signal raw to the receiver. Just so you know there are optical digital outputs too. Usually even the low end onboard soundcards will have some sort of SP/DIF connection for that job. Keeping in mind I never did this...

Carrying over from a conversation Chu and I started in another thread. We started to debate the actual effect of high capacitance on interconnect cabling. Chu, I was just talking high frequency applications since I used 34Mhz in my example. I certainly wouldn't want to try and make a tuned...

Your right about being off topic, sorry Brook. Hope you got the answer you wanted. I'll start a new thread in the Tweaking and Connection forum.

It just seemed to be mathematically that it would be a higher capacitance that faired better for less attentuation at higher frequencies. Since you mentioned it I hadn't taken into account that equipment might not like the cable. Of course an overly long cable wasn't what I was saying to use, at...

Could explain to me how I am wrong? I was under the assumption that this simple equation solved for an impedence given known frequency let's say 34 Mhz and a known capacitance. R=1/(2*pi*F*C) F=frequency C=capacitance F=34 Mhz C=16 picoFarads R=1/(2*3.14*34000000*.000000000016)...

If you want to really do it up nice, and your planning on recording stuff as you match it, get hauppage's they have hardware mpeg2 encoders which wont tax your CPU. ATIs rely on software encoding and are asking for trouble.

Creative doesn't work for a person who knows what he/she wants. Something more suitable to a mixer/recorder would be a M-Audio Delta 410. Sorry I can't post a link yet. Just Google for "m audio delta 410 sound card"

I guess that depends on the kind of money you want to spend. If you only want to spend 30 per cable than AR should just fine. If your inclined to throw some more money at it than someone on the forum can give you a good suggestion.

Maybe can give you tip also. When you are shopping for cable for this application. Such as HD, if Bob's numbers are correct on the frequencies. The high capacitance of the cable will not make a difference. Since the higher the capacitance or frequency, in this situation, the lower the opposition...

I'm glad your tweeter at least has some sound. Let's hope it is the intended sound. Capacitors only work when they are given an AC signal. They will work briefly with a DC resistance meter until one plate charges up then it blocks DC current flow. So when you initially hook up a capacitor to the...

I don't see why not as long as they don't conflist for resources or IRQs. May I ask what cards you are going to use?

You could try out AVG Anti-Virus and Kerio Personal Firewall. They come in a bundle at a reduced price so you know there mustn't be a inoperability problem.

I recently (about a year ago) came into some RadioSHack speakers that must be at least 30 years old. They were still in their original cabinet but they sounded horrible (to me at least). A friend gave me 2 new 8" woofer to put in along with 2 new tweeters and 2 midranges to add to the cabinet...

Personallu I prefer the Carol brand 12 gauge wire. It's inwall rated and is inexpensive.

What you should do is learn how to use the braid. It's not hard and is quick enough. The part about needing a 20w iron, well maybe, that depends on the job. You can get braid at parts express. Search for "solder braid" The .10" wide should work nicely. This page discusses briefly how to use it...
