I killed many devices by DIY, it is a real killer training....

 

[Zen Mod]

I'm half a killer , half a healer

"Death by DIY" - sounds like t-shirt logo to me.

Speaking of death by DIY. There are now visible entry and exit points (240V) on my hand thanks to a rotel cd player whos dac i fried. I think it was getting back at me!

Old meets new!

My Threshold NS-10 installed in my vintage Sansui rack feeding modern day FLAC files from a computer via my "Abrahamsen" DAC:

If it weren't for talking to myself

Just wait till you hear voices talking back (or you start making parrot noises)

I'm still waiting for Manu's virtual rencontre (first swear a bit in Françlang to Gyuri, he's talking to himself again)

 

[Gyuri]

Yes, I usually muttering to myself.
But I am not a danger to the public.
Unless I go by car from the roads.

I talk to my dog. He doesn't talk back, but sometimes he gives you quite the look that lets you know he thinks you are nuts too.

I talk to my dog. He doesn't talk back, but sometimes he gives you quite the look that lets you know he thinks you are nuts too.

What?

 

[Vix]

And then he says: I prefer something else...

 

[DaveM]

At least those two are sniffing noses. It's the butt sniffing that bothers me. They always seem to want to sniff another dogs butt and then lick your face. Not a good combo.

 

[Zen Mod]

... even he is much smarter than Mighty ZM

 

[Vix]

Sometimes, when I get serious about audio, he makes this face:

 

[Vix]

I wonder what do I look like to him when he stares at me like that. Hopefully not something like this...

 

[DaveM]

Only if you do that thing with your hands.

Wonderful toys there ZM - are they yours????

BTW - in the attached photo are you giving the speaker a big smooch (many of us still remember "the kiss" from BAF) or a speaker port rectal exam - or both?

It is good to see everyone back around - I have been busy tracing family history - and today I have discovered a new half sister that I have never known about. It's a looooooooooooooog story!!

 

[Zen Mod]

nope , they aren't mine , even if they're result of my eternal brainstorming

as written in blog title - they're in possession of Baby DiyA member Hifish ( Vidard here ) ;

he was wakoo enough to :

1. without any previous experience with my wakooness - collect all parts for Babelfish J ( with little consulting help of M. ZM ) , then give that pile o' parts to me , for proper disposal ( read - piling them in functional gadget ) ;
2. according to my plans - collect all Sonido spks , pay for producing boxes , and open apartment doors to me , to put them in life .

so - he is a man with many flaws ...... and greatest of them is gullibility

 

[Zen Mod]

btw.

tell us that looooong story ;

perfect for pub , in any case

 

[Darkstar52]

Great pictures ZM. Next time I see someone wasting wood I will show them your pictures. Then I will say "don't waste wood there are poor poeple that don't have enough wood to finish their speaker cabinets, all they have are open baffles."
