The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

At least twenty other people have pointed that out before you.

I wouldn't be surprised if even you have pointed it out before. It's just old and lame.

Because I didn't design them, I merely repaired them.

Anyhow, check out my latest little invention: A camera remote!

Thank you, Canon, for not making your remote control system a tangled mess like your Japanese origin made me assume.

.Sup: be nice; +2,646|6710|The Twilight Zone

Well I did the HD555 foam mod like described here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PvQ8PzBrHXE although not sure why the guy used screwdriver after removing the screws to remove the driver as it just pops out by itself after the screws are removed.

Anyway I noticed slightly lesser bas impact but the cans have become more transparent compared to the veil they had before. Literally like removing bed sheets from the tweeter of a speaker. Quite an improvement and its really to do in matter of minutes. The mod has taken the HD555 on another level, on the HD595 level to be exact and its completely reversible. Recommended.

So my 595's were a waste of money then?

Yes but I still use 555s everyday for movies and teamspeak because they are so comfortable. The transparency I got with the mod is so beneficial for movies.

Jens its well known HD595s are HD555 without the foam but much more expensive. Drivers are supposed to be the same.

Oh lawd.

Oh well, what's done is done. At least mine have a higher number though, right?

Currently pricing up the parts for a racing wheel mod.. Going to try to mimic the Ferrari F1 wheel without the cut-off top and bottom, using the standard G25 wheel as a base.

Doing it and buying the parts shouldn't be an issue, finding the time however, is.

Will you also do any calibration to it?

Jenspm: penis; +1,716|6989|St. Andrews / Oslo

on the wheel?

I'll be using the G25 wheel but adding a plate to the front with the buttons.. So no need, it'll self-calibrate itself every time the PC is turned on

Yes the wheel since you said you will going to try mimic the F1 wheel. Well good luck

This thread needs more posters. Seriously.

In the meantime, enjoy the grill-inspired fix for my leaky radiator tap. The glass bowly thing is the cover of my ceiling lamp. It doesn't fit with CCFLs, so it's really a win-win solution

What are you using that for? If you've already got an amped balanced signal, why kill it?

I'd post my Z80 Christmas lights controller, but it was installed on a breadboard (too lazy to solder), is now missing some parts and I can't find my old schematics. Rrrgh.
