    How Should Audiophiles Think About Hearing Loss as They Age?

    Messed up hearing I ended up with due to being exposed to way to many noise at way to high a level. The worst symptom is not loss of hearing, I suffer only a little on that front and can still hear well to at least 16kHz. My biggest issue is when there is background noise, or when sounds are...

    I used to work in TV studios, done lots of repair and maintenance and also editing on those U-Matics. Two flavours, low band and high band. You going to battle to find tapes for them. Ebay would be the best bet. Maybe post a wanter umatic tapes post on here? Groetnis

    Careful what you wish for, that is a brutal environment. Back in my days, used to bill 16-18 hours per day.... Groetnis

    Sony VP-5030 Videocassette player or 3/4" tape player

    The controllers were the likes of the BVE 500, 600 or 700 for example. My images seems to be problematic for some reason.... Oh well. You can look for a image online by searching for emetic rack mount studio or some such. Groetnis Groetnis

    Sony VP-5030 Videocassette player or 3/4" tape player

    Used to work with these and repair/service/use them a lot way back when. There were two types, low band and high band. This looks like a playback only type, no record. It would be used with another one at least or even 2 more with a recorder to do the editing, so 2 or 3 players like this with a...

    submarine lost at sea

    Not implying they are the same, or classified as explorers. They were operating outside any regulated frameworks. It was experimental. Point is you cannot and should not charge a fee or ticket for a ride. There are calls for banning visits, that is preposterous. You take your chances, and...

    submarine lost at sea

    Think Wright brothers (lived) and the Scott and Amundsen expeditions (Scott perished) and Astronaut's, some died. We need explorers and don't need needless safety zealously. But what happened here with this sub, was madness. All the experience learned from the past, all the concerns raised by...

    submarine lost at sea

    Fairly easy to solve, a steep conical shape hatch, the deeper you go the more it seals. Put the latch on the inside to pop open with 0 pressure. Also add external emergency release. Groetnis

    submarine lost at sea

    Sad and tragic this :cry: 🤞Carbon wrapped hull, not good for this situation, the reverse with posative pressure inside compared to the outside (pressure tanks and aircraft yes, but for submerging.... Also look at the Apollo 1 Disaster where the hatch was bolted on, this vessel is the same, no...

    12V load shed stereo tube amplifier

    As @ghostinthemachine mentioned, extra filtering, but beyond that me thinks you may have to shield them DC-DC's in a fully enclosed and separate housing. You may even be forced to move them away from the LS-Amp (I claim copyleft on that neme ;) ) to prevent the noise.... Groetnis

    SA DAB Radio

    It's a test phase. Implementation is gd knows when. So being a test only, it is spotty at best currently. Streaming radio is just so much more, in every way.... DabGroetnis

    SA DAB Radio

    Earlier this morning, I switched on the radio and nada. So likely something is wrong with the service, or maybe the test was shut down. Will monitor and report if they come back on line. Groetnis

    SA DAB Radio

    It is still on, was listening to see if it was still working on Saturday, from Centurion to Cullinan. A bit spotty and iffy, some stations not available.... Groetnis

    mygoggie's venture in the world of hybrid electrical systems

    You need to account for two things. Firstly getting the average right as the bulk of energy consumption is not evenly distributed over 24 hours, likely 2/3ds are daytime or the 14-16 hours not sleeping. Secondly you now have batteris to charge on top of your energy consumption and need to feed...
