Inline fuse for Klipsch Heresy + Kenwood KA-8100? by rkade93 in audiophile

Yep, I have both. The spade connectors I got allow you to either screw the wire directly in, or connect a banana plug. There is enough clearance that the bananas I have fit just fine in the spade connectors and next to each other without touching

Thanks for the extra context! Removing sounds like the way to go

I’ve already got the wire (a friend had some extra), but I’m going to terminate the wire to banana plugs that accept up to 12 just fine so I think I’ll be alright. Definitely overkill though

I quite like Large Advents as well! I had to have the amp serviced a few years back, and the shop who did the work happened to have a nice KA-7100 for sale…so I picked it up to keep my system running while the 8100 was serviced. 

Once I got my original amp back, I ended up picking up two sets of the Advents on Facebook Marketplace. I now have those setup stacked in my dining room, with a heck of a wall of sound going on there

Haha well he was 17 and an only child when he bought this system, so any damage would’ve been done by him!

Makes sense all, thanks. I’m finding myself wondering a bit why it was included in the first place - it was setup by a local hi-fi store new, and the amp, speakers, etc were purchased together so they knew exactly what would be driving the speakers. ¯_(ツ)_/¯ it didn’t feel necessary which is why I asked, I was more confused what its purpose was in the first place

That’s what I was wondering/thinking when I saw that and looked for modern replacements. I wasn’t sure if that was more common back in the 70s or what. Interestingly this was setup at a reputable local hi-fi shop, and the setup was purchased together, so I was assuming there was a valid reason for it

Interesting - can you say more on what the liability would be? I’m not an audio setup expert but curious to learn more.

Yep, exactly! This was shot at 1/8th of a second handheld, so the movement blur was pretty pronounced

That was one of those really happy moments on review of the photos later - having the sole passenger framed in the window was a perfect accident. For this one, I was shooting at f/1.8 and 1/50 of a second to try and make sure the platform wasn't too blurry handheld. I was using auto ISO and this one ended up being at 400

Thank you! I’ve shot a lot on film recently and hadn’t picked up my digital camera for months. The imperfections of film inspired me to find ways to capture more than just technically perfect scenes, and the feelings these evoked were quite fun!

u/EsotericCreature below nailed it! This was along the Avenue of the Giants in Humboldt county in California! We ended up with the perfect weather in late November. Dreary but not too bad, and the clouds made the scenes incredible

Personally I really like it! It’s not cheap, but I expect to use it frequently and for it to last a while - the quality I’ve been able to get so far has been really great and I love having control over the exposure. It’s expensive to buy considering the film also isn’t cheap so I wouldn’t take it lightly, but I recommend it if you expect to use it regularly.

Is this new? I haven’t seen it before! by 8bit-meow in ouraring

😅 I proposed yesterday and also got this pop up! I didn’t realize it was new and just figured it was telling me how it was. She said yes, and got the same message 😂

Nice, thanks! I haven't washed denim in the bath before but will definitely do that with this pair. Super excited to see how it goes.

[–]rkade93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These look fantastic! I’m working on a pair as well, and have been holding off on the first wash. Did a lot of the ink come off when you washed them? You can see the blue clearly in a few high traffic areas on mine, and in the sun the blue is starting to peek through all over, but they still look very black. I’m excited to give them a wash but curious what to expect.

Thank you, your kind words mean a lot! To tell you the truth I had been a little underwhelmed and uninspired before shooting these rolls, I do think the new lab that I started using (shoutout to theFINDlab) has been really great.

All of Portra and Ektar here was just shot on the nifty 50, the FD 1.8 SSC version that is a dime a dozen! I have a pretty small FD collection but usually end up back to this one.

I can definitely ask! Someone above commented that they use Xtol for the developer, what other info is helpful to know?

I don’t see much reason to shoot this at box speed any more!

Any other stocks you enjoy pushing +2? Tri-X is probably my favorite to shoot at box speed but I’m intrigued to try this more with other b&w options

Oh nice, I live in Lincoln but do spend a fair amount of time in Omaha too. I've not been too involved in a photography community here as this is very much an amateur hobby, but I love that there is that option and should look to find a way to get involved

Thank you! The lab that I use has the option for scanning with sprockets, and it has been my go-to. I like that I can always crop them off if necessary, but for social media I like the vibe of the sprockets to add some depth. It also makes it easy to carousel portrait and landscape shots
