*divides power rating by marketing guy's shoe size*

Please specify the measurement system, on my shoes there are four different measures!
(US 13 - UK 12 - EUR 47,5 - CM 31) amazed



Fabio: Let's do it, it would probably wipe the town of Busto Arsizio off the map :D

No thanks!
We will probably organize a giant TESLATON in that town, if we want we can get the space and the power required inside the local exhibition center for free during the hamfests;
Surely will NOT be easy to manage a so giant event but doing it is another big challenge for us!
(All of italian Teslathons are open for general public and take place in hamfests or schools; the biggest thon ever made so far had about 4000 visitors, for Busto Arsizio we estimated 25.000 visitors in two days of exibition)

Oh, I see it's a car amp, *divides power rating by marketing guy's shoe size*

Do mean you the one with 100% oxygen-free pure silver interconnects that lift the veil from digital sound with new depths of transparency and clarity, or the one with distortion-free 24k gold plated phono sockets that deliver truly punchy bases and a real sense of rhythm in the mid-ranges? All a bit too technical for me, Steve... oh got to go, ... vapour is seeping from my new speaker cables, the ones which use pure liquid mercury to ensure ultimate fluidity of sound transmission between amp and speaker. Feel a bit off colour actually....

Tis a bit off topic, but I laugh whenever people get conned into buying Monster cable for digital signals, since in a AV environment it'd pretty hard to bugger up a short run (3, maybe 6m?) of digital signal... yet people still buy them...

At the moment I'm also working on trying to get a deal on a trolling motor and salvaging the motor assembly out of it, should be a nice strong motor that I can build a driver for...

The different shoe sizes all have their uses. 12 or 13 for hi-fi, 31 for car audio, 47.5 for computer speakers.

Harry, mercury is so 1970s, all the cool kids are using speaker cables made of pure arsenic nowadays.

Hope this isn't getting too O.T. :O
