Justintoxicated

I'm to lazy to upload pictures on it anyways don't see much point lol. Mine goes into "testing mode" often. like I will pick it up and it will restart or something. Is this typical or should I exchange it? I got a refurb so maybe thats why. other than that there are some minor other issues. Like if you use an activity to turn on all your devices, then switch to a single device, then you want to shut down all your devices there is no way to do this other than covering the remote with your hand (so as not to turn the devices off when going back to the activity) then hitting the off button. (otherwise the remote will think you jsut turned the devices on) Still not much of a complaint since i don't have to take like 10 remotes with me to watch a movie lol. it really is a super remote even if it does go into testing mode every so often. I also just bought a MB block for my MB because the fan is pissing me off now that I am using the PC for a media center. Now to get my 8800Gt (Does HD decoding and is nearly as fast as the 8800GTX for a fraction of the price)

lol @ Italian Job.

lol

Stock mounts + washers to space out the bolts (may require longer bolts)

LMAO this is great stuff. I'd just replace the sprocket, i go through sprockets much faster than chains I would be broke if I always replaced them both. If replacing the Chain however, then I replace them both.

where the silencer connects to the pipe? or where the Pipe connects to the Cylinder?

Banshee don't like water, could be you sucked some in, or it could be the CDI got wet.

They are not Cast pistons.... I'm running WSM's now, they are forged just like Wiseco, and have teflon coating to help them through break in. Bike ran great last weekend, but time will tell. Supposedly these make a little more power than the Wiseco Blaster pistons (Big Bore Pistons). Never had problems with wiseco, but Nate McCoy recommended these for my particular motor. He did mention that the motor needs to be ported around the pistons though otherwise you will have problems with them (meaning ported differenetly than if I were to use Wiseco Blaster Pistons). I don't know what he changed, but this could explain the problems some people are having with them.

Lower the needle another clip...If your on the top clip (farthest from the taper, then you might need a differnt needle). How do the plugs look? it could be your foweling out the plugs a bit at lower RPM's but they don't clean up untill your WOT.

Trinity makes them and some other company that makes a head that uses domes that will spin around because there is no tab to hold them in place. I'm guessing you have other problems. I had plugs back-out when I had some Bad domes before. Another cause would be detination. My dome was vibrating a little in the head causing the problem. When I checked before I put in the domes it was flush with the lower plate on the Noss head. But it was only the mounting tab holding it in place (hight wise; the tab was keeping it flush because the notched area in the dome was about .001 taller than the base of the dome), the last rib on the dome was cut too low (lower that the notched area), so it didn't take long to make the notched area on the dome imprint into the head leaving up and down play. (but not enough to leak coolant aparently.)

lol I remember allpro...I was happy with my last motor from Jim if thats who you decide to go with. I don't know who has the best MX/Trail Port.

I guess, but if wires are all the same size and length and not made out of complete crap then this should not be a problem. Esp over short distances, but of course with HDMI your mixing alot more signals together than if your running seperate audio and video cables... Not saying to buy a $5 HDMI Cable, but not necessary to buy a $5000, or even a $150 cable when you have monoprice around. If your rich they look pretty and may have better sheilding but it's not as important as with analog cables. maybe you could add a boost bottle to it or something to help even out the transfer rate between wires I have some Monstercable Single Link DVI's I'm using and the picture looks great (paid about 10% of retail for them though lol), although I do think the monoprice cables are at least as good as my monsters. They look and feel about the same, but I had to file down my monster cable DVi connector (Plastic Part) to plug 2 DVI's into my comp when I was running 2 37's which was annoying.

Gordons was not too crowded either... Anyone see that strange extreamly white light in the sky that came out at like 2am on friday night? Anyone know wtf that was? Moon had a huge ring around it as well it was pretty cool! Now get out there and get that cub running

I am serious about the tires/rims but I need to know what size rims they are on. Let me know a price else I'm just going to buy some new ones next week anyways.

Yes but over a short distances it's not that hard to transfer a digital signal. BTW by definition a 100% transfer of Digital information means that none of the data has changed(It 10% of the dta has changed then you only have a 90% complete transfer)... I prefer to get higher quality cables myself but only to a certain extent, however I will not pay premiums for them either. Monorpice has good stuff at reasonable prices I would highly recomend them. If you want keep your $5,000 cables and I will have 0% loss with my $30 cable anyways. The difference between the type of cable and quality of cable will often be much more noticable. That said, get the proper cables for the run length and the devices your going to connect.

Hey guys checkout and install this beta. Unselect the 2 boxes to make homepage etc when installing. http://maps.live.com/ Under Explore Install 3d. Then when your done checkout my map of glamis/gordons area I just threw together. Select 3d, Hybrid, Birds Eye View. Use mouse wheel to zoom in, and ctrl mouse rotations to rotate the map. These maps are amazing, now all I need is a GPS that incorperates this! http://maps.live.com/?v=2&cid=7E550E66...1&encType=1

I found no where that said optical could not be used for HD sound and no place that said that it can either. I'm not sure on this one. It should be able to keep up with the same data rates penidng the equipment has the ability to read and transfer them. But then again perhpas more wires were added for HD sound, in which case a new type of optical would need to be developed. I'm not sure. Electrical is not as fast as light, but hey the light signals being generated are from an electrical source... As for HDMI cable I will still have to agree to disagree. It is possible a newer cable will look better, if the cheap cable is not properly transfering the data. This is not an ANALOG signal, it is digital, windings and such make less differences, these are techniques to reduce interfearance and signal loss. Thus the same 0 and 1's will be sent to the reciever with will turn them into the picture you see. Theres no such thing as a higher quality 1 or 0. Again this is not at all the same as it would be for analog cables. This is digital. In this sense I would say that if your new 1.3 or 1.0 cable actualy works better than the one you are replacing then the old one was not working correctly. Basicaly if you have say 25% signal Strength with 100% signal quality (no losses), you will still not see a difference in picture from a cable sending 90% strength with no losses. This is the beautiy of digital. Analog on the other hand this could make an insainly HUGE difference.

Here is the cable I am using it is obviously NOT 1.3a compliant as there is no audio signal passed by the DVI (VIDEO ONLY) connector on the cable box. Using optical for the sound source. (I HIGHLY DOUBT my cable box is even in need of an optical cable...) http://www.monoprice.com/products/product....3#specification Here is a cheap 1.3a cable to fix your son's display http://www.monoprice.com/products/product....=1&format=2 Here is a higher Quality 1.2a cable made to run longer distances. http://www.monoprice.com/products/product....=1&format=2

Again, that is not wat I was saying at all... Thicker wire does not = more transfer rate when it comes to HDMI. This is not the Quality of the cable but the TYPE of cable. You can not compare a quality MX port Job to a Quality Cheata Cub Port Job, it's just not the same thing! Using a HDMI 1.3 cable on a component that has HDMI 1.0 or 1.2 hardware isn't going to make the image/sound look/sound any better. This is the same as comparing a Dual Link DVI Cable to a Single Link DVI Cable. Single link is FINE for 1080p, but if you go beyond that then you should use a dual link cable. Don't get hung up in transfer rates this has more to due with resolution, and now with HDMI 1.3 the support for lossless sound. This will ONLY make a differnece if your receiving source is setup for lossless Dolby TrueHD/DTS-HD over HDMI. If hardware on both sides does not match you will not see the benefits of a higher standard cable. If for example HDMI 1.4 was to come out, you woul dneed a new game console, New TV, and possibly a new receiver to actualy benefit from it. Changing cables alone will not make any difference. It will also not help you to run a longer distance or get rid of interfearance. Quality != Type. Now looking into this more S/PDIF over coax will not be capable of supporting the new lossless standard, where as optical and HDMI 1.3 will. Does this mean my CD player is going to sound better if I upgrade to optical or HDMI 1.3? Nope....If I get a $100 Optical Cable instead of a $20 cable for a short run is the sound magicaly going to sound better? No! So yes digital cables typicaly either work or not when your comparing the same type of cables of different QUALITIES. Digital data is digital data so long as it reaches the other side. Using a HDMI 1.0 cable on a 1.3 source to a 1.3 receiving device is a sure way to ensure that you do not get all the possible data to the other side but simply upgrading to a higher QUALITY 1.0 cable isn't going to help things much at all. If you want to support the new standard then get the correct cable. The QUALITY of digital cables is it's resistance to outside interfearance and it's ability handle longer runs. The TYPE of cable will determin what kinds of data steams it can support. For example a Dual Link DVI cable is capable of MUCH higher transfer rates than a single link cable (If that is how you want to rate them: in terms of transfer rates), however on a 1080p monitor both Cables will display the same exact image, a dual link cable is not going to look any better than a single link. The higher resolution's that require higher transfer rates are not available for a 1080p TV anyways, you would need a high end computer monitor right now to see resolutions above 1920x1200. The dual link cable simply has more pins, it has nothing to do with the "Quality" of the cable but everything to do with the "TYPE" of cable. Same goes for HDMI. If your running a 1080i image to a 1080p screen then YES you are losing quality. But buying a more expensive higher quality cable is not going solve this problem. It is simply a different standard... My Point is that if you are using Sub Standard cables then obviously you will lose picture/sound quality, but this has absolutly NOTHING to do with the quality of the cable. Another example would be a POS HDMI 1.3 cable showing overwheling better picture and sound than a super high quality HDMI 1.0 or Component system. I have yet to hear True Lossless HD sound so I will not comment on how much better or not it is. It still has to be decoded at some point so untill someone demonstrates it for me on a really high end system I will not be convinced it is really so much better. Brad, if you head over to monorpice you will find a HDMI 1.3 cable, even the highest QUALITY one, is Far from $100. Should you decide to get one, I think you will be happy, and you can directly compare the picture and sound your are getting to another one of your more expensive cables of the same type to verify that there is indeed no difference in picture and sound.

Thicker cables can usualy travel a longer distance without degredation, and poorly sheilded cables can pickup interfearance. (optical should yeild the least differences since they are not prone to electrical interfearance, and light travels without having to worry about resistance in wires). Digital is digital though so 90% of the time it's likely all in the users head (not always!). But yes you are absolutly correct. However a 10k pear cable will not make enough difference to be worth the money with a digital audio connection. I'll spend an extra $10-20 on a cable but not an extra $100 or $1000 or $10k (unless your talking about reall really really long runs of cable in which case the cables are just plain more expensive.. So Yes a $30 HDMI cable can have the same picture as a $150 HDMI cable. So long as you get it from monoprice :0 likely it will not even cost $30 lol. These are near the same quality as cables that cost up to 10x the price! Again, no magical cables, just thicker wire / Better sheilding etc. Knukonceptz also makes cables superior to stuff like monster and sell them for less money. So price alone does not gaurantee quality is my point. I prefer to go overkill with the prices that monoprice sell them for, since they are like $30 tops might as well get their high end cable! With digital it does not matter how strong the signal reaches the source as long as it reaches correctly and is readable. With anlog, well thats another story. Often with digital it either works or does not...

It does not really give you any extra power, but it does produce more power at lower RPMs.

I dunno if it is your best bet or not, do your computers speakers receiver have a DAC?

Wow just wow. http://www.audiojunkies.com/blog/711/the-w...friend-to-shame

Perhaps I can help but I need more information. Which speakers are you using and do they have their own internal DAC? If they do then using Optical straight into their receivers input, should automaticaly decode the sound. This is how I am running my Z5500's. When feeding in optical it automaticaly picks up if the signal is 5.1, 4.1, Stereo, etc. If they do not, then they are relying on your sound source to do the decoding (hence to get surround you will need RCA/3.5 types of jacks), and you would need to select 4.1 from the source (PC TV etc) allwing the source to do the decoding. Unfortunately alot of devices do not support 4.1 only Dolby 5.1,and if this is the case your sound will be terrible since it assumes your using a center channel which you would be missing. Hopefuly whatever your trying to run via analog (ie. if your Computer speakers do not have a DAC) will support 4.1 As to why it sounds better using HMDI that may well be so, like I said it depends on how the recieving device (your TV) is handeling the signal. The cable should not be what is making the difference. EDIT: Where did your post go?

Wrong, they should sound identical since they are both sending the SAME EXACT digital signal (The Device receiving the signal is doing the decoding not the device sending the signal). Assuming of course you plugged them into the same receiving source (because the signal is not processed by the sending unit, just passed through). To put it another way the receiving device is receiving a bunch of 1's and 0's and translates it into an analog signal via DAC. You will get identical 1's and 0's using HDMI, S/PDIF Coax, or Optical unless there is some kind of interfearance. HDMI is about the same visual quality of a Single Link DVI Cable + Added S/PDIF (Coax Digital) (Single Link DVI is limited to resolutions just above 1920x1080p, Dual Link is rated for resolutions above and beyond like the new 30+ inch LCD Monitors; that said it has nothing to do with the quality of the cable, the Dual link simply has more pins to send more data at a time). HDMI, is just 2 cables in one. It's not magical in any way, and will not sound better than optical or Coax S/PDIF. The advantages of optical is a greater range you can extend the cable, and since it's optical, there can be no electrical interfearance (does not need to be shielded). Perhaps it was just the device you were using, or a bad optical cable or optical signal source. HDMI could actualy drop is signal quality faster than other types of connectors depending on the thickness of the wires used, typicaly HDMI cables are thinner than DVI+ seperate audio source, although fin most cases it makes no difference for shorter runs. What I don't like is that you have to pass the whole HDMI Cable to the receiver first then use a second cable to extend to the TV (or to the TV then to the receiver via some other kind of audio if your TV supports this). Of course depending on your needs this may not be a disadvantage. The advantage of DVI is that the video gets pipeped straight to the receiving source, and you can plug the sound into a Home Audio Receiver. Plus I like the larger DVI connectors better because you can screw them in to better secure them, if you use thick HDMI cables like I do they put alot of weight on the plug ends which makes them easier to fall out. Analog RCA's are different, with these the decoding done by the sending source (DVD Player, HD Player etc, and not through the receiving source (TV, Receiver etc) RCA's can sound better or worse depending on the device sending the signal. I use all 3 types of audio cables and they all sound excelent. In Car Audio the Head Unit does the decoding, hence the need for Analog RCA Cables with Sheilding. No matter which type of audio cable you use the end result will be analog... For my cable box I'm using a DVI to HDMI adapter, which means the HDMI plug end of the cable contains no audio. So I ran an optical cable to my reciever instead. It took 2 cables instead of one, however my Receiver does not take an HDMI cable because it is audio only so either way if my cable box had an HDMI output I would have needed to use 2 cables. A quick google will result in the same information. BTW if you guys need cables Monoprice.com's high end cables are really good for the price, better or equal at leaast to monster cables for a fraction of the price.
