    Adding a DSP? Worth it? Pros/Cons?

    Your right if your happy with your sound then it's all good. Some people can't, or just don't, appreciate a good sound stage. Or they listen to recordings that don't add much to the enjoyment of the sound stage. To them a DSP is a waste. For me the sound stage and tonality is the most important...

    Fried Alternator ???

    I know you're Out,,, but you misunderstood. The short in the alternator was a "complete short" it shorted the battery also. Even though the battery had power, it measured as a closed circuit until i disconnected the alternator. Just disconnecting the alternator allowed me to drive home just on...

    Fried Alternator ???

    That van has 320 k on it it turns over fairly easily but still runs like a champ. We can disagree on the job of the Alternator. In theory i'd agree it's not for charging the battery,,, but in reality it's often called on to do just that. Anytime you have jump start a car, because someone left...

    Fried Alternator ???

    Good feedback guys, sometime it's good to think things through out loud with others folks. The battery was just enough to barely start it one time, but yeah i get now why I should have charge it up first. I just wanted to make sure the alternator could do the job, so charging it before hand...

    Fried Alternator ???

    No not really, just thinking out loud,,, and practicing my English. I never heard of the heat cycle, good to know i'm going to look into that. I never had a alternator short before I do was wonder what exactly fails to cause a alternator to short. All the alt's i've replaced just had low or no...

    Fried Alternator ???

    I murdered it alright I also been known to murder the English language! But I'm not sure why the Alt shorted. I thought as you did at first but... Here the thing. 1. It shorted 15 minutes into the drive not right away. The battery already had 10 minutes of charge on it before the stereo was...

    Fried Alternator ???

    I installed a remanufactured alternator and it shorted out within 15 minutes. I've never seen a alternator internally short before and I've replaced at least 20 or 30 over the years so i'm kind of puzzled. To me it seems that the Alternator was poorly built,,, looking for opinions. Things i...

    The future of automation is at our door. it going to look different that what we have now. Like Slo ride said robots building and servicing robots. If the minimum wages keep trending upwards will see more of it, sooner rather than later. Self driven cars, and trucks,... are close at hand. Just...

    You think the solution is simply by American? Hanging on to "American" manufacturing and "buying American", is like like hanging onto the buggy whip. Times change, Manufacturing as a whole is changing whether we like it or not. In the next 10-20 years robotic automation, 3d printing, human...

    I don't care that it's Canada's oil. As long as it flows, and keeps our prices down, and it has the smallest environmental impact than any other mode of oil transportation to date. So yeah it's a big Win Win from my perspective and it's great. No doubt some regulation have benefits but some are...

    That's funny, When i worked at Delta we'd say almost the same thing about DC-8's, except it was the wings leaking fuel. That was the worst job ever going inside the wings fixing those DC8 leaks. A freaking nightmare.
