Amen to that sir!

Is that the thing Darren Hayes used on his last solo album?? May have been in SOS, maybe I should check the link....

I realise i'm bumping up a bit of an old thread, but I have a suggestion regarding the LED's. Why not use dual-gang pots, and connect one half as normal, and the other half as a voltage divider to alter the brightness of the LED's. KISS....

nILS, that is awesome, how well does it work?? I'll be adding that to my list of things to do for sure!

I'm in for one kit, saves me ordering everything seperately!

Isn't htere a 303 clone with a similar interface (FR-707?) ??? Looks like a great idea, but a bit confusing to get my head around.

And the award for most hairs split goes to........ 8)

I think we need to be careful of jumping on the bandwagon a bit here, before we have any further details. My gut instinct is that they are genuine NOS chips, they certainly don't look like they're faked. ( http://kevtris.org/Projects/sid/remarked_sids.html ). However, I stand by my original position. If they're not tested, i'm not interested.

Is the sound of a Fender Strat under copyright by Fender?

Hehe, i'm not sure wether that's an urban myth or not, but I like the idea of infra-sound laxitives ;)

Agreed, I wouldn't mind a couple but only if they're tested. I'm not putting down money on something that may not be fully functional.

If the voltage is dropping as the temps go up, it's most likely the regulators. They have a thermal shutdown to prevent damage from shorts, so perhaps that's the answer. Also, are you still using the C64 PSU?? I know a lot of the old ones get a bit crazy when they get warm.

Just be careful of the levels of frequencies around 33Hz, supposedly the ground note. Can be very enjoyable for ladies i'm told, but can also open up your bowls a little bit ;)

Are they tested? And is that USD???

That is truly awesome! Anybody fancy donating a (broken) SID for the same treatment?

No, that's Smash...

How about eating a 1/4oz of the stuff then being dragged to a strip club with a Rugby team! Talk about interesting times...

AAAAyyy!!!

Nope, it's lost on me too! WTF?

Stick it on as it is, and do another! I like how it sounds a bit lo-fi, it really reminds me of my old Megadrive!

Sweet, but did you miss Wilba's opl3 group buy?

Sounds like a great idea to me! Maybe i'll build one too if there's not much firmware modding needed!

Is that because you were souring the milk? ;) Or was it the sound leaking in? I do have a degree in Music Technology Turuloid, as I stated earlier, which includes training in acoustics and design. That link is pretty good for a very basic and easy to build damping system, and it's the method i'd first turn to. If you check, there's also a table of absorption coefficients, which you can use to calculate problem frequencies in your room (using the handy Mode calculator on the site too!), and you can then target those specific frequencies with the design of your absorbers. Personally, I prefer to diffuse rather than absorb (especially in the upper freq's), but in very small rooms sometimes that's the only option.

My point was that they provide so little damping, it's not really worth the effort of gluing them to the damn walls!! Any thin cardboard will provide the same level of damping if fixed to the wall with a small airgap of say 25mm. Even then, the damping will only really be apparent for frequencies of above 10kHz.

I wonder how many people that advocate the use of egg boxes actually have any scientific reasoning for doing so?? I don't want to sound presumptuous, but the one thing I did learn in my Music Tech degree, was that egg boxes really, really suck for any sort of sound damping or diffusion. Their coefficient of absorption is too low to be an insulator, and the're not dense enough to diffuse anything but the highest of high frequencies. That said, they are probably better than nothing at all on a plastered wall, but even a thin carpet would be a lot better. *Jaicen dismounts lofty steed...
