Maplins close-out on AP100Z0

[5th element]

I also use the panasonic WM61A vikash was selling and I also have a calibration file. They work really well. How do I know?? easy, speakers I design using them and LSPcad sound great!

Well looked what arrived

[SimontY]

Oh no way, this is beyond freaky! The door just went and there seems to be a parcel waiting, probably for me!!! I'll let ya know what's inside...

[SimontY]

Thanks for the comments on mics, preamps, jigs, and software guys!! It looks like I've got a helluva lot of reading to do now... (like, what the heck is the jig for??)

[SimontY]

Oh my golly gosh, I'm one very angry boy right now....

Those cretanous spaz-monkeys at Maplin have sent me 8 'dusk to dawn timed security lamp holders'. Bloody monkeys, absolute morons!!! I want speakers!!!!

And on my birthday!

WHAAHAHAHA


I sympathize with you, really. I know how it feels...

I feels for you, although not as bad I ordered a large amount of stuff resistors caps etc for amps, and they send me a variable capacitor instead of a resistor. Still that meant the amp wasnt going to do anything till the next day when I could go to maps and get what i really wanted.

Happy Birthday Simonty

Its really annoying that they sent you security lamp holders, they could have atleast sent something you could have had a bit of fun with, then returned a few hours later.

OK the jig - to measure impedance speakerworkshop uses the jig. What this contains are a few resistors. Now you calibrate workshop telling it what values the resistor are and telling workshop the input impedance or your soundcard. This enables workshop to measure imp.

Ahh, so it helps us to measure impedance... Cheers.

Actually, altho I make out this order going wrong as a big deal, I wasn't going to do anything with the speakers right away anyway. It's just annoying to deal with it! And it seems to happen to me so often - once I went to Farnell and bought some 10,000uF Samwha caps over the counter - got half way home and unwrapped the packaging to find some strange coil things, I was very upset, they were just about to close when I left - coulndn't get a lift back there for days...

Another time, I made an order with the overclocking store or tekheads (same thing now) and they missed off a rounded floppy cable, then ignored my e-mail about it. They just stole £5 basically.

Another one of these cowboy e-crap-dealers gave me a foreign motherboard manual!

There are others too but you get the picture...

I have 6 on order, dispatched monday pm acording to maplin, hopefully not by the same packer that did SimontY's !!!! I wonder how long their stocks will last at this rate ...

I will use a pair in the workshop and the rest for mid/bass in 3way active to replace my ancient R50's. No box designs yet but I do have a shiny new 1.5KW router to play with

Thanks for the tip pinkmouse

All the things ive got from farnell have been fine although I always buy with them online, didnt even know they had shops

I got a zalman silent flowercooler from techheads, very good price no problems there either

Although you do not have all the bad luck ive had a few times when things have just gone wrong and it is plain annoying.
