Yes I think you mentioned that. But have you tried clearing your cache (temp. internet files) and cookies and logging in again?

(As it seems to be for others) it works for me (and that's without any special PC/internet hocus pocus).

real Shures (obviously) have a track record but I think you need to watch what you plug the output into (because the mic contains a transformer) otherwise you won't get the intended response. I don't see why you'd cheap out there though since they aren't that expensive anyway.

FWIW, I hated those spring operated deals and liked using wick or the type with the rubber bulb and Teflon tip. Recently though, I decided to have another stab (after a string of semi-successes) at removing alu electros from mobo PCBs, and thought of trying to "attack" it from both sides using an ir...

hey no problem Noel! (holy old post, lol...)

did you make sure it was connected to the chassis? If it's left floating(not connected to anything) then that might be an explanation

(Maybe it's there, but) I don't see a ground connection from the input jacks to the rest of the ground line. By any chance did it come off, or perhaps did you forget to put it back on when the jacks were changed to the type w/a metal ferrule?

If you are in Europe maybe look for Philips KT(polyester)--not sure if th...

slightly OT question: is it possible to get those 90 degree/perfectly straight leads WITHOUT prebond wire? you don't get prebond in india....

doesn't look quite perfect (in terms of a 90 deg. angle). I bet you could just bend them with pliers to be like that (Hiwatts are such).

I saw this and thought it was a cool idea also:

apparently though, not really a new idea:

I got a brand new Sprague ATOM 10uf with some white stuff coming out the end straight from Mouser one time. I didn't consider it a big deal since I bought more than one but I think that says that even from "good" makers you can still get defective caps. Even perfectly good caps can die or go bad jus...

I remember once I was shocked at how bad my mod sounded.

No, different guy; same last names are coincidental. Ted (RIP) as I understand was in the Air Force and later worked for an automobile manf. (if memory serves) and was into ham radio as well so he knew his stuff technically speaking. GW seems to have done what some people today on the internet, beco...
