The other cable should have worked. Obviously something was buggered in that cable's wiring. A cheap VOM meter will tell you instantly what points are connected to what on the old cable.

The mixer has mic/Line/Inst inputs. They work fine, been doing it for years.

So what were you close to at 1:33 seconds? At 1 minute you were quiet, at 1:33 you had LOTS of noise. Something around there is putting out interference. That's a CLUE!!!

Dave, I don't know which model mixer Mike is using for what. He's got a old Tascam 488 and plus a 2nd newer mixer. He's got his drum set mic'd with 6 mics, plus 5 vocal mics and 3 guitar inputs available. I don't know which one the guitars feed. He's got a headphone distribution setup for...

Last week, our bassist was picking up a local AM radio station on his bass guitar. At first I thought it might have been my pedalboard (we are all going direct to a mixer), but when I hit my tuner, which cuts the signal off, nothing changed. I've been using my Joyo JW06, and have no issues...

The change has been around for several years. The mod is rolling off the top end, and different people suggest different values for the capacitor change. 680pF is the most common value, but I've seen people choose 870 or even 1000pF and it HAS TO BE a sytroflex cap. I think it might be...

Other than that they seem to have good shielding, I don't think they make a lot of claims about the cable sounding "better". Their shtick seems to be making cables that are rugged. I have both mic cables, TRS to XLR cables to feed my monitors, and a couple of headphone extensions. I...

FWIW, I have gotten a few PigHog cables and they are pretty high quality, I liked them better than the Hosa ones I've bought.

You're from Waukesha and you didn't start off with a Les Paul? That's almost sacrilegious! :P For years, I only had humbuckers, then I added a few single coils. I've become a big fan of the P90 the last couple of years. Enjoy!

I'm sure adding a USB monitor output would add a significant cost. It's not just the USB circuitry, but you need to have all the video circuitry, added programming to convert the little display to a HD setup. Depending on the system, does it need more menus? Some of the old workstations...

I would suspect it's to protect the capsule from stupid people poking it with their fingers!

If you look at the makeup of the mini PCs, they are basically a laptop formula in a square box. That 13900HX is a laptop CPU. the M2 SSD takes up little room. Most mini PCs use a standard SODIMM for memory, so they are upgradeable, unlike most laptops these days, where the memory is...

I got this one 22 years ago for my 50th birthday. Straight from Kalamazoo. It's a great guitar, but at a bit over 9 1/2 lbs, I can only go about 45 mins to and hour before my back gives out. I once had it press enough on the nerve in my shoulder that my left fingers started to get numb...

The 8th gen Core I7 should be adequate for a while, but it's not anywhere close to a sweet spot. It's more lowest point of a "current" requirements... UEFI and TMP2.0. Just browsing Best Buy, they have a Geekom mini PC listed for $560. Geekom - IT13 2025 Edition Mini PC, 13th Gen Intel...

I like this one a lot. The lyrics are interesting.
