00:00 katsmeow-afk well, yeas and no ... the power co here has no trouble popping the finals in this thing
00:01 katsmeow-afk the sansui is less stable, the amp can oscillate when driving electrostatics
00:01 katsmeow-afk the entire psu collapses when it does
00:01 furrywolf sansui amps were meant for driving sansui speakers. both sound notably better when paired.
00:02 furrywolf I don't know if it's damping factor or something else funky...
00:02 katsmeow-afk umm, drat, i forget the name of speakers with 8 4" in a box
00:03 rue_house trouble
00:04 katsmeow-afk ?
00:10 furrywolf bleh, I wish I had more time and money... I want to work on my hydraulic pump/motor design.
00:14 rrywolf curls up on katsmeow-afk for bed
00:16 rue_house todays ebay itm is a FUSE HOLDER!
00:16 rue_house yay
00:21 katsmeow-afk BOSE 802's
00:23 katsmeow-afk i managed to drive them with the sansui , outside, got complaints from 1/2 mile away, they sounded GREAT
00:24 katsmeow-afk the 802 was the pro audio stage version of the 901
00:24 rrywolf tries to avoid snoring, so katsmeow-afk can hear her speakers rather than sleeping lapw
00:26 tsmeow-afk goes to lay down
00:27 tsmeow-afk emails rue a
00:27 rrywolf tucks katsmeow-afk in, then curls back up on top of
00:30 theos :)
01:11 rue_house "nono, dont put the red wire near the blue wire, someone will try to look at it with 3d goggles"
01:12 rue_house http://www.thingiverse.com/image:138022
01:12 Atak what company do you guys recommend getting parts from? I know mouser and digikey... any other good places?
01:12 rue_house only local ones
01:12 Atak I'm located in Texas and also looking for good shipping prices
01:12 Atak only local place is radioshack
01:13 rue_house we can only suggest international places, because, we , are international
01:24 rue_house making a 3d and a 3d point library has always bugged me, but it just orrured to me now to make an N dimentional libarary
10:32 rrywolf stretches out and y

14:34 FreezingCold pretty excited, just got my course schedule for my robotics program this fall :)
15:09 katsmeow-afk "If a cluttered desk is a sign of a cluttered mind, of what then is an empty desk?" - Albert Einstein.
15:24 katsmeow-afk Renesas plans to eliminate up to 14,000 jobs, or about 30 percent of its workforce
18:49 tsmeow-afk looks at furry and wonders if he engages in paronom
18:49 katsmeow-afk �I changed my iPod's name to Titanic. It's syncing now.
18:50 katsmeow-afk �I know a guy who's addicted to brake fluid. He says he can stop any time.
18:50 m_itx drum
18:52 ace4016 kats caught a bug of the rue
20:01 theBear rue_house, doesn't matter much, if anything you want an excess/overhead of amplifier power... clipping amp will kill a relatively huge speaker much quicker than a little overpower will kill a relatively small speaker
20:39 katsmeow-afk an audio amp clipping is like putting dc to an ac motor
20:39 katsmeow-afk plus the hf noise generated
21:21 furrywolf since I had to google what it was, I'd have to say that wasn't very punny.
21:21 furrywolf bbl, again. my internet connection is really crappy tonight, and znc sucks, as always.
21:56 Tom_itx is Rockwell R126 pretty hard?
21:56 m_itx looks at katsmeow
22:18 ShH puts http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DAbobF7wg7E on for theBear and hopes bears like dance m
22:27 katsmeow-afk i didn't know the Rockwell scale used numbers
22:27 Tom_itx hmm
22:28 Tom_itx http://www.mcmaster.com/#peek-rods/=ivrbtc
22:28 Tom_itx was what i was wondering about
22:28 Tom_itx seems like pretty hard material
22:29 katsmeow-afk it's plastic, look at the data in http://www.westyorkssteel.com/images/rockwell_scale_conversion_chart.pdf and see if plastic can place in there
22:30 LoRez there are three rockwell scales too.
22:31 LoRez none of them go that high

22:32 katsmeow-afk rockwell vs plastics : http://www.ides.com/property_descriptions/ISO2039-2.asp
22:33 katsmeow-afk according tot he graph, Rockwell 130 is the top of the scale, and according to the graph no plastics reach it
22:50 katsmeow-afk .
23:27 rrywolf curls up and y
23:27 furrywolf I need to do something about this unreliable internet problem, but that requires more money.
23:48 tsmeow-afk ponders a trip to gro
