Does anyone else think that the small graphic on the left of the hangar looks like a penis without the head?

I thought I was the only bastard that thought that.

That makes three of us.

i just got a 2010 mazda 6 less than a week ago =D

I hear that 106mm Flys feel really good with that setup.

New jacket

Did you get that from Target? I was looking at a jacket there that looks just like that.

mini amp for headphones?

Yup

CMoy?

yup

Kaddisfly uses this thing. This thing has a light sensor and it makes electronic farting noises bases on what sort of light it captures.

Nope

Homemade CMoy? Or did you buy it?
Did you buy the DT880's in the background too? (I think I see DT880s... I miss mine)

I bought it. No skills in the soldering field. That being said, I would like to attempt one sometime just for fun. No those aren't my headphones, I've got Grado SR80s

[mace the bass]

I have no soldering skills either, but I really want to make one. (Try)

[PurrCrabs]

I'm gonna make myself a Cmoy at some point, its not too hard, since the parts only cost about $25 and you can make it on a weekend. Soldering is easy!
How do you like the SR80s?

Ya... I've actually never soldered before. I'm sure it's not tough but I'd rather try it on something a little simpler... that and I won't be able to do it anytime in the next 7 months b/c I'm away at school. Figured it was worth the extra cash to have it for those 7 months.

Love the SR-80s. The only downside I have found is after wearing them for a couple hours, they do get a little uncomfortable. However, the benefits outweigh the drawback immensely.

what is that a pedal?

[zolojub]

A Earthwing MM and Black randal RII's in a 50/42 combination.

[mace the bass]

It's a cMoy. Which is a pocket amp.

It's the inside of the altoids can 243racing posted awhile ago.

Soldering properly is tough. I worked in an aircraft electronics company and MAN is it hard to get every joint perfect.

Liquid, no-clean flux, few seconds of heat, bridge between pin and pad with rosin-core 60/40 (or lead-free in the states >_<) solder, add more until joint has the perfect amount of solder (should flow through the board to both pads, but not have any frosty look or cold-joint cracks when cooled).

After that is done to every pin on the board, gotta go back and hand-clean every joint, inspect, and re-work where necessary.


Great job, so tedious! Feels like you accomplish nothing when you've been working all day on a hand-solder kit..

So what exactly are these things in the Altoids containers? MP3 players?

[Zombayy]

Hehehe.....for my killswitch

What trucks are these?

[sean94]

[PuppY_K1ck3R]

What trucks are these?

These are munkae trucks. Sold here Munkaes Very nice trucks search for reviews here in the forum. Pricey but nice. I just wish I had enough cash for wheels and bearings.

This wonderful little thing can power my Senn HD650

[PurrCrabs]

there mini amps, they make you ear buds louder "be built small enough to fit in a pocket, power supply and all. It’s powerful enough to drive very inefficient headphones to thunderous volumes from even weak sources, "

Headphone amplifier. The general idea is to provide higher quality (or well, any headphones really) with the energy they need to function properly. A simple "cmoy" like that can be built at home in a matter of hours, from parts costing less than $30, and is a good, simple, cheap way to power 'phones on portable rigs. The general point of it is not as a volume control, its to give the internal drivers the energy they need to function properly, which greatly boosts audio quality.

R, you should really use something with more output power... Senns and their stupidly high impedance

Rodgon... lol thanks? Love that show

Tinypete: nope, Kohls. Its cheap and not real leather, but it does its job well for now until I can upgrade

I was just stating for reference, I don't use full size cans for on the go.

[PurrCrabs]

Ah. Yeah it would be silly to use an open can for portable use.
Whats your home amp?
