  1. Yeah, there's your problem right there.
  2. Hmm. Maybe one of y'all smart folks could help me out here. Like I said, '82 Peavey Combo. Sounds amazing, still. But WAY too fuckin' loud to play in a small California bungalow with a raised foundation. (Or just about any domestic environment.) So what I've been trying to do is have the Pre Amp Out go directly into my audio interface, and then that Y-cable there is plugged into the Power Amp In. The Y-cable is connected to nothing. So now the only thing the power amp is trying to amplify is whatever static happens to be in the air or around the place. And this works fine... for a while. But after some time, you start hearing static coming out of the speaker now and then... and then a big, massive POP. It's SUPER loud, and defeats the whole purpose of trying to silence the thing. What can I do? Adjust the ground? Do they make 1/4" plugs that are more isolated/insulated that could do a better job? What the Power Amp In is supposed to do is to work with the crossover -- you put a patch cable coming out of the crossover, and then into the port. Maybe I use the crossover low, turn the cutoff frequency all the way down, and then just ... well, expect lots of low subs coming out or something? No idea. Or maybe have both crossover ports going out to nothing. Just need some way to mute the speaker for domestic use/practicing so my wife and cats aren't disturbed from their nap, but I can still get that sweet, sweet preamp tone.
  3. It's time to step away from the keyboard, man. Go outside. Touch grass.
  4. @immamac, I think what you meant to say was:
  5. And DKR graduated from OU, but nobody thinks of him as a Sooner. Common sense is judging by one's actions, and not being a stupid Rules Lawyer. Same with Immamac here -- he might've graduated from aggy, but he's done so much for us, and they wouldn't take him back. You're the kinda guy everyone hates playing D&D with.
  6. First two misses were on the receivers; first guy was just too slow, couldn't make a sharp enough cut. Second guy just couldn't get his hands on it. His first deep ball was a completion, but the receiver had to wait for it -- definitely looks familiar.
  7. @immamac might've graduated from A&M, but he ain't no aggie. That's like calling DKR a Sooner.
  8. Oh, I figured it out. NFL.com was showing CBs and Safeties separately. 9 DBs total.
  9. NFL.com must be way behind. It's still only showing 7. Where are you tracking it?
  10. Other than that guy from Kentucky and his 4.28.
  11. If I had to guess it would be just inside the connector, but that's only a guess. That's usually a safe guess.
  12. 7 is not more than a dozen
  13. Ok so, overall and so far, Texas has 4 players running a 4.4 or better 40. (Barron, Blue, Bond, Golden) KSU has 2. Nobody else has more than 1.
  14. I think that's what had be confused; from the outside, the cables looked... well, about as pristine as you'd expect cables over 3 decades old to look. A little tarnished and dirty is all. But clearly they were all trashed on the inside. The replacements were not cheap. $40 for two 5m cables.
  15. I'm even worse. My entire signal chain is a Scarlett 4i4 4th gen USB interface and Roland Cloud. For the guitar. For the bass, it's still the '82 Peavey Combo 300, which'd had a ton of static and noise every time I'd tried to use it... until finally I randomly tried using a different cable. Yeah, turns out using 30 year old cables is a recipe for bad things, no matter how good they were new. 🤣
  16. That's a pretty good write up. Sounds like we won't have any real good ideas until the summer.
  17. The poor dog.
  18. seriously it's the Graphics, hard G, Interchange Format. Not the Giraffe Interchange Format. The inventor is a dumb dumb for trying to tell people to say it like the peanut butter brand
  19. "8 inches" *holds fingers 3 inches apart*
  20. It's all three of em together - Hackman, wife, and dog, that makes you want to rule out natural causes. CO poisoning is the next most obvious cause.
