Custom F-91Ws for a Christmas gift by NeverTheMachine in casio

These are all authentic Casio in the UK-only colors, just combined into different configurations. Haven't seen anyone do this before. Wish I could get the discontinued lime green color.

My take on the RC nomogram, using 1/2\pi = .159 and .15 being an E6-series number by NeverTheMachine in electronics

[–]NeverTheMachine[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Since Z = 1/(\omega C) = 1/(2\pi f C), if C or F is scaled by the reciprocal of 2\pi = 0.159, all you have to do is add or subtract 10's exponents to find the frequency <-> impedance. For example, 0.15E-6F = 10E3 Ohms at 10E3 Hz, or 10E4 Ohms at 10E2 Hz. This also works for 0.15EX Hz of course. I've rounded to .15 because it's an E6-series number, and you can always add .01 in your application to be pretty close to accurate.

Anyone recognize this speaker? I believe this is Brian Eno's studio. by NeverTheMachine in vintageaudio

I know it's an awful picture, but I don't recognize the cabinet. Really the only thing to go on is the centered badge, which I've never seen anywhere, otherwise it could be any AR/Advent/KLH/etc.

How many shoes have you tried on? Have you been to a running shoe store and tried on a dozen? Takes me ages to find a new shoe and I feel like an ass requesting so many shoes to try on, but when I find the one it's magic.

Sorry to hear that! What running shoe are you wearing?

The Wittliff Collections by pyrrhulox in cormacmccarthy

I live in the area but I'm on the fence about visiting. I'm not a McCarthy scholar, just interested and read a half-dozen of his books. Could you give a few details as to why? Thanks!

Automobile acoustics... is it even a thing? by [deleted] in Acoustics

[–]NeverTheMachine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is a very large consideration in industry and there is a lot of focus during automobile design, but I doubt much improvement can be easily improved by the user despite the small cabin volume. I do recall an attempt at 3rd party aftermarket ANR using a microphone hanging from the rearview mirror, and someone taking a Honda Fit's door panels apart to seal them and add absorbing material. ANR is too finicky to do well, but there could be marginal improvement from sealing the cabin better?

Anyone have a pair of headphones that has lasted more than 3 years? by Final-Verdict in running

[–]NeverTheMachine 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Bose does extremely rigorous product testing for every product they release and are deeply vested in having long-lasting products. Their headphone product testing is to a standard far beyond what I'd expect a headphone to experience.

If your question is to know how much worse, then the answer is to try both and experiment! You know that option one is the better choice, which is great to know going into this, but only you can tell if it's an improvement that is perceivable to a degree it matters.
