If I'm going to hate someone, I'm not going to hate him because of his race or religion or sexual preference or what neighborhood he comes from or what color bandana he wears. That's Nazism (or neo-Nazism or racism or whatever). I hate people for something MUCH more dangerous than that: what they THINK and what they DO - things that have the potential to do harm to others.

I think I have an alternate theory. When that album came out, guitar magazines were awesome, MTV was awesome, and radio was awesome. Steve had just come off the DLR thing, and was into the Whitesnake thing, and *everyone* knew it, and everyone appreciated it. Not to mention, there was that three-month teaser ad in all the guitar mags (you remember, right? Month 1, the top third of the album cover, month 2, the bottom third...), and basically, no one could shut up about the guy. Kinda like the late 90s and the BackSpice Sync Girls, except that there was a reason to go out and buy P&W. > lately Steve has really tapped into his guitar tone and the over-all > knowledge of what he wants in songs, also his sense of melody has gone > through the roof.

Hell no! You think the Nazis ONLY hated because of race or religion? One of their primary policies was the exclusion of all people who disagreed with them, or had potential to disagree with them. In addition to jews, blacks, catholics, gypsies, and other assorted races and religions, the nazis also enacted plans against criminals, the homeless, the disabled, left wing sympathizers, and other "leeches". There's a lot more than just racism that's scary about the Nazis. The entire notion of a government based on survival of the fittest. The notion that anyone who did not believe what they did was literally a scourge upon humanity, and must be destroyed. That's THOUGHT. They were all about hating, arresting, and killing because of what you THOUGHT. The notion of suppressing anyone, any thing, any act, and any thought which does not fall in line with your ideal of how the world should be. THAT is nazism. Or do you think they burned all those books because they were jewish literature? > >There's a HUGE difference between INCLUSIVE policies and >EXCLUSIVE policies. This is very true.

The cable and >the line-level source really shouldn't matter. You'll most likely have >an order of magnitude more noise from the soundcard itself than from >a little 30-foot cable run. Long cable runs can certainly cause problems. If the cable capacitance is high, (Greater than 20pf per foot) things get rather ugly once you compound the TOTAL capacitance of a long cable run. You've inadvertently installed a low pass filter in the signal path. And then there is the DC resistance per foot to consider... Usually negligible at the input and output impedance he's dealing with. Most modern quality sound cards are fairly quiet, all things considered... Since the Dukester's more than likely dealing with 3.5 mm stereo phone plugs at the sound card, he's first going to deal with the transformation to RCA plugs. I'd recommend really short 3.5 mm stereo phone plug *to* RCA female adapter cables. (Stereo) Then I'd save bucks by having someone knowledgeable and skilled with a soldering pencil install GOOD RCA male plugs on the desired length of HIGH QUALITY cable. I'd recommend Belden 1694A. Type RG-6 (Or equiv.) Click on the provided link and look at the bottom of the page for "Specify by Trade Number." Then enter the number 1694A. The cable specifications will be provided on data sheet. THIS IS A VERY GOOD AUDIO CABLE AT ANY REASONABLE LENGTH! http://www.belden.com/products/Catalog/index.htm The cable cost should be about $40.00 - $70.00 USD. (120' - 30'x4) Add $16.00 for (8) acceptable RCA plugs. You may have to hunt around a little to find a retailer or distributor that will sell you bulk cable cut to the length you specify. You may have to buy 50 or 100 foot chunks, but that's OK because you can use the leftover cable to make many shorter interconnect cables for the rest of your audio gear, including car stereo interconnect cables. You could cut your costs in half if your willing to make one stereo pair and swapping them as needed. But I warn you... Sound card jacks don't like frequent cable swaps. They are prone to jack and solder joint failure if you're stressing them. They were never designed to handle heavy usage. They also adopted a plug-n-play engineering mentality! You could buy two adapter pairs and just swap them at the RCA junctions to keep the stress off the 3.5 mm phone jacks. That would save the cost of the additional cable & ends needed to complete the loop for a bi-directional connection to your stereo. Quality cables are also far less susceptible to RFI and other cable related idiosyncrasies. Skimping is for retards.

EARTH GROUND is common to ALL electrical outlets, as is the neutral line. ALL outlet neutral and ground lines tie together at the breaker/fuse panel. (At least their supposed to) The computer SHOULD have a 3-conductor grounded plug. The stereo may only have a 2-conductor plug, and if it's newer, it's more than likely polarized. (One contact is larger) In the event the stereo has a non polarized plug, swapping the plug around could cure any AC hum in the unlikely event that it becomes an issue. It's a VERY good idea to do this little installation test with ALL audio gear that uses non polarized plugs: Plug in the AC line cord with all other cables disconnected and check for AC voltage on any conductive part of the case. (Place one meter lead on the case and the other at the outlet ground) Swap the plug around and read it again. Once you discover the direction that reveals the least amount of AC leakage to the case, mark the plug and continue to observe that polarity whenever returning the plug to the outlet. Repeat this with ALL gear that does not use polarized plugs, particularly those that will have their cases tied together via common ground unbalanced cables. (RCA) This can (And usually does) lower the noise floor of ANY system. -- Al - The Ytse-ProGtologist ^ Switchcraft Microsystems ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment" --Will Rogers ------------------------------ Date: 10 May 2000 11:25:26 -0000 From: "Awake ."
