I'm interested in buying the Sharp MD-MT831. I've found it the cheapest at ESM, then MicMic and then HyperJack. ESM has had some shocking reviews lately concerning fraud and not delivering goods that are paid for. They have been closed recently so that could be a reason why. MicMic has shocking customer service: once it took three weeks for a response to my email and thus I have concerns whether I could ever return it to him if something went wrong. Furthermore many people seem to think that he is not a licensed Sony dealer at least. HyperJack I have found very attentive, efficient and they sell Sharp universal power adaptor which is especially good since I live in Australia and do not want a bulky step-down transformer plugged into my wall socket. So what do you think I should do? Is ESM that bad? Does anyone have any experience with MicMic or HyperJack?

I'm not saying you haven't been injured, and no injury is at all funny, but I honestly think that to say a 12V potential caused it is madness. Even a 24v (?) boat battery wouldn't cause any injury in my opinion [a guess admittedly, but an educated one based on silly experiments when I was a silly 12 yrs old boy connecting about ten PP3s in series- they're just the right size to plug into each other]. When I don't have my multimeter handy, I test PP3s by sticking them on my tongue and judging the tingle, crude possibly stupid, but gives me a rough idea :-) btw if you insist on connecting a dozen PP3 batteries in series and end up electrocuting yourself, I accept no responsibility. Having said that, 117V AC at 60Hz is more dangerous than 300V DC I think. Do not rely on this as a DIY electrocution guide.

Re: MD: DC surges, a warning
You are putting another variable in that we weren't talking about. The power tool is connected to an external power source that is grounded on the neutral leg and usually a ground terminal is also connected. People won't get a shock from the 12 VDC, but from the malfunctioning power tool. The some dangers at the 12 volt battery terminals are, 1. at the terminals, it is an unfused power source. 2. It is capable of supplying a heavy current under a fault condition and can cause burns as the tool heats up that causes the short circuit. 3. It can weld the tool to the item is touches. 4. it can burn wires up that the current flows through. 5. The arc can ignite hydrogen the is generated by the battery. (I have seen a car battery explode and splash sulfuric acid all over the engine compartment and the unwary mechanic, causing savere burns. These are the reasons to disconnect the grounded terminal of a battery before you disconnect the ungrounded terminal. If you are working on the radio, then you should disconnect the hot lead first. Using an electric power tool on a vehicle and not using a ground fault interrupter is folly of you ask me. (But I have done it before they came out.) In any case, using a power tool doesn't have any baring on how to disconnect the battery, which should always be disconnect the ground lug first and reconnect it last, or be darn careful or you can get hurt in more than one way. They safest way is to disconnect the ground lug of the battery.

Tony (et al). > If you're touching the car body while attaching the positive lead, you've > got such a high resistance that you're not shorting anything. Put your hands > across a car battery's terminals and you'll see for yourself. This is not entirly true and I can testify to this as of yesterday. While replacing the snapped clutch fork on my Toyota Camry yesterday (why did they design a car so that you need to remove 3 engine mounts and 2 cross members to get a gear box out ... argh), I accidently touched the positive terminal with the palm of my hand and had my naked arm resting on part of the battery clamp (was disconnecting the gear select levers at the time) I'm not sure how long I was in this position but suddenly I started to feel a lot of pain in my arm ... a stinging, biting sensation. And yes I actually burnt part of my arm (the place where I was resting my arm) ... I have a small burn mark, a large lump under the skin, and had problems with that muscle cramping later in the day. So over short distances there is enough current (amps) in a car battery to cause damage, but touching both terminals at the same time with separate hands is unliky to cause any damage. Just a friendly warning. (Sorry about tthe lack of MD content).

MD: je- 510 problem
hi, i have a problem with my je 510 i havent seen on the list before. when playing back a disc, it gives problems after the 25 min mark. the playback just stops for a second, sometimes longer, then starts again . the clock will just pause at say, 25:51, and a few seconds later, start again and show 25:52. it doesnt seem to lose any time, just pauses on and off randomly. it is super annoying. the same disc will playback fine in my mz-r30 portable. i havent really done a lot of experimentation,but it seems that only discs i have recorded recently on my 510 do it, though i may be wrong. if i take a disc that has 3 tracks, each 15 min long, and insert that disc, starting play at track 3, it messes up right away. it seems to have something to do with head position ? i had the turn on bug a while ago, but that went away when i had to extract a stuck disc. i found debris on the eject mech. gears. that was a few months ago. i blew clean compressed air into the slot, no help, still pauses. any ideas are appreciated. i'm thinking of just getting a 520, now that the 530's are out, it should be fairly cheap. is there any reason i should go to a 530? i dont need titling, i have martin's winremote( works great) . any other reason to upgrade to a 530? should i attempt to repair the 510? thanks all, Mike Hooker - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

They merely mention the aleged high quality of the DAC (which is in fact by far superior to the ultra crappy DACs found on their previous generation cards, AWE32/64 etc.), for the purpose of playback through the analog output of the card, not as a feature which has anything to do with digital recording.

When in doubt, connect the digital output of the card to it's digital input and play+record an mp3 file, then use winamp or whatever to decode the original mp3 file into a standard linear PCM wav file and run a bit-by-bit comparison of the recorded and the decoded wav files using one of many shareware utils found on the net with that capability.

MD: OT: advises for designing audio mixer?
Hi! I am designing an audio mixer for my stereo at the moment, but have run into some problems. Maybe somebody here can help me: Can anyone here provide hints or schematics for using the Philips chip TDA1074A as a channel fader? Alternatively, suggestions for other circuits that will do the same would also be helpfull... Here is a description of what I am trying to do: To avoid problems with the "cheapo" potentiometer sliders I want to use for the faders, I wanted to let a TDA1074A do the fading and the potentiometers just deliver a control voltage. >From the information in the datasheet, this task is just what the TDA1074A is designed for, but I am having troubles getting it to work. At the moment, it is connected in the manner suggested in the data sheet, but the control behaviour is quite different from what I expected: I can't fade a signal down to zero (the whole lower half of the fader range has only little effect on the signal), while there is a steep rise of signal level at the upper end (plus there is a noise when fading to the upper end, but that might be caused by the potentiometer). What I'd like to get is a logarithmic or linear curve from zero (- infinite dB) to 100 %.

Re: MD: DC surges, a warning
Diconnecting divices is different than disconnecting batteries. 1. If you disconnect a device, you disconnect the battery or hot terminal first because the metal chassis of the device is connected to the ground. 2. If you disconnect a battery from a vehicle, you should disconnect the grounded (chassis) terminal first so you don't risk hitting a grounded object with the wrench or other tools you are using and cause a fire or burns. If you disconnect the ground or chassis terminal on a battery, the hot terminal is still tied to the ground through the cappacity of the wiring harness and the resistive load of any devices that are connected from the hot side of the battery to the chassis.

Yeah, I know that, usually the first thing i do is to earth something (in the sensible parts of the world the earth pin of the power plug connects before the other two), but you should remember that in a battery, the negative connection isn't earth, it is earthed to the body of the car. Therefore if you happen to touch the car body while attaching the positive lead after the you'll actually be shorting the two power connections (i'm not sure exactly what the consequences are), whereas on a power point if you short the active to earth, you just send the current to the ground.

RE: MD: DC surges, a warning
Read through some Nissan and Mitsubishi manuals and you'll see differently. It's observed from an electronic point of view in that grounding static sensitive devices prior to doing anything else is definitely the best practice. Take a look at your deck's installation instructions. Every single brand that I've read from has explicitly noted that the ground lead should be connected first prior to doing any other connections.

Iomega drives are not rebranded, they are manufactured by Iomega. You can use almost any software you like, as the drive comes with a device driver which is compatible with most Windows software. I know it works with Adaptec CD Creator Delux as this is the software I use with the unit at work. -- Magic Location : Portsmouth, England, UK Homepage : http://www.mattnet.freeserve.co.uk EMail : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] "A book judged by it's cover makes for a very shallow read." - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
