  1. Most of us never use the ATTACH PHOTO TO POST option for just that reason (limited size). Try using the INSERT IMAGE applet which allows photos up to 14MB and auto resizes to 800x600. For instructions go to the INSERTING MEDIA section of the FORUM HELP topic.
  2. You are absolutely and unequivacably correcto mundo.
  3. I don't disagree with most of what you've said, but "rules is rules" and we don't take kindly to personal attacks. As my mom used to remind me (often) "it's not what you say but how you say it". Frankly nobody gives a flying fuck if you have a potty mouth, however, if you are looking for total anarchy you are in the wrong place.
  4. It's not the first time 'cakes, and certainly won't be the last. To my knowledge no one has ever been sandboxed for using foul language. Personal attacks are an entirely different matter. This is what I see full screen on a 22" monitor. (Overriding the default settings makes it worse.)
  5. Carlin and Cosby. Both keep me laughing (and thinking) for hours. Somerhow I thought you'd be more of a Don Rickles fan though.
  6. I suspect it's one of these I'm betting you sit in front of your monitor in the dark wearing your big girl panties. Me too! but at my age I prefer the large type here to the tiny 6 point type on CarverAudio.
  7. Howdy shortcake and welcome to the forum. Hope you can stick around and play with us for a while.
  8. It's a center channel speaker Gary so he only has one. At any rate he let me know he got it worked out using the battery trick.
  9. If you can't find a wiring diagram it won't hurt the speaker to try it both ways. If the wires are reversed you should notice that the frequency balance is "off". Reversed wires should also change the driver phase so try the battery trick. Intermittantly connect a 9V battery across the speaker terminals while watching the cones. When the internal wiring is correct all of the cones should move in the same direction.
  10. I'm pretty sure only the SDA-series speakers use the interconnecting cable and require a common ground amp.
  11. Nice job Bryan BTW: I took the photo links you posted and inserted them using the image editor.
  12. Howdy woodworks and welcome to the forum. Nice to have you onboard the Carver train. I'm no more technically-oriented than you are but someone who is should be along shortly to get you started.
  13. If you are looking for adjustability an active balance or DI (direct interface) box might be a better choice. They are designed to adapt a single-ended source to a balanced input but can be configured to pass either. I use an Aphex 124A ($50 used) but ART, BBE, Behringer, Boss, DBX, Nady and others make them too. (Make sure the balance box you choose has variable gain controls
  14. Well howdy pindrop and welcome to the forum. Sounds like you'll fit in just fine so sit down and set a spell. WE LOVE PHOTOS so don't make us beg. (Check out the inserting media section of forum help for a primer.)
  15. You won't be disappointed Bryan.
  16. RELAPSE! Glad you are making some headway towards putting your system back together Bryan. Are you gonna go with your namesake CT-Seven or move up to a Billd-modified C-1?
  17. Howdy dazed_and_confused and welcome to the forum. Tell us about yourself and post some pics of your system.
  18. Rich told me it was 7 posts but the transistion is not automatic (i.e. Admin makes the change manually).
  19. We prefer that you insert the images directly into your post like this: Or at least post a link to your Photobucket folder like this ==> http://s289.photobucket.com/user/angelod307/library/?sort=3&page=1
  20. Howdy luvtubes and welcome to the forum. Tell us about yourself, your gear and your taste in music. And please don't make us beg for photos!

    Favorite Quotes

    A few more Zappa-isms in honor of the late, great SteveFord: A mind is like a parachute. It doesn't work if it is not open. Government is the entertainment division of the military-industrial complex. Information is not knowledge. Knowledge is not wisdom. Wisdom is not truth. Truth is not beauty. Beauty is not love. Love is not music. Music is THE BEST! Interviewer: 'So Frank, you have long hair. Does that make you a woman?' Frank Zappa: 'You have a wooden leg. Does that make you a table? There is no such thing as a dirty word. Nor is there a word so powerful, that it's going to send the listener to the lake of fire upon hearing it. There is more stupidity than hydrogen in the universe, and it has a longer shelf life. I think it's really tragic when people get serious about stuff. It's such an absurdity to take anything really seriously ... I make an honest attempt not to take anything seriously: I worked that attitude out about the time I was eighteen, I mean, what does it all mean when you get right down to it, what's the story here? Being alive is so weird. A composer is a guy who goes around forcing his will on unsuspecting air molecules, often with the assistance of unsuspecting musicians. If you’re going to deal with reality, you’re going to have to make one big discovery: Reality is something that belongs to you as an individual. If you wanna grow up, which most people don’t, the thing to do is take responsibility for your own reality and deal with it on your own terms. Don’t expect that because you pay some money to somebody else or take a pledge or join a club or run down the street or wear a special bunch of clothes or play a certain sport or even drink Perrier water, it’s going to take care of everything for you. A wise man once said, never discuss philosophy or politics in a disco environment. In a fight between yourself and the world, always side with the world.
