[quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1388149270' post='2318866'] This is true if the signal is going no further than the JDI. However, there should NOT be a speaker box plugged into the JDI; it won't like such power going [i]through[/i] it. (at least, not according to the manufacturer...). It's fine (in fact, bloody excellent...) as a passive DI, but not designed for the passing through of speaker-level current. [/quote] Agree entirely. I would presume that the connectors are all pcb (circuit board) mounted and that the copper tracks between the jacks will just burn if you try to put any appreciable current through them. Unless the OP is very lucky the damage may already have been done.

According to the User Manual you must not put the box between an amp and a speaker cab.

Thanks Mark and a Merry Xmas to all my BC friends and customers.

I used an NOS Philips 5751 in both my F1X and a BMAX-T. I got it from Colomor Valves in Billinghurst in Sussex, UK. They sell directly but also on Ebay.

[quote name='gelfin' timestamp='1386712341' post='2303632'] The pic I put up is a Nuetric. The don't make them any more. However I have quite a few of them. Mono and TRS [/quote] The picture is a Neutrik NP3RCS which was superceded several years ago by the NP3RX. The current mono version is the NP2RX. However the OP is not wanting a plug, he is asking for a right-angle socket. Right-angle XLRs come in various forms both male and female however I have never ever seen a right-angle cable-mounted jack socket. OP, why do you need one? To what are you connecting?

Earlier this year I discovered that one of our number plays for an ELO tribute band, "ELO Experience". Went to see them locally and it was absolutely top notch. If you like ELO then they are well worth going to see when they are in your area. Complete with two cellos and sounded just like the real thing. Brought back a lot of memories of songs I'd forgotten I'd forgotten.

[quote name='Zenitram' timestamp='1385151762' post='2285169'] Right, yes, as I suspected. Thanks. 1. Need for what? I don't follow. 2. Blimey. How can they be told apart? [/quote] 1. Not you, the OP. 2. Take the jack apart and have a look. A true stereo cable should be two separately screened co-axes. The balanced is a single screened pair or screened quad connected as pairs.

[quote name='Zenitram' timestamp='1385146949' post='2285078'] Stupid question: just because something takes, or sends out on, an XLR cable, doesn't mean that it's mic level, does it. Or does it? [/quote] XLRs are used for many different signal levels. What you need is balanced cable, not a stereo. TRS jacks are used for balanced mono and unbalanced stereo, however the cable type is different for each.

After trying a few I have eventually settled on a Mes-Boogie Bottle Rocket.

[quote name='molan' timestamp='1384730905' post='2280172'] The beauty of the Auralex is that it's reasonably well made, has a useful little grab handle and feels like it won't fall apart. [/quote] I find this quite funny as the only thing that's broken on mine is the handle. "Just came away in my hand Officer"

Russ, as I'm not gigging at the moment you are welcome to borrow mine and try it.

Just did a Comfort Strapp swap with Gary. My long for his short. Very easy and totally in the spirit of BC. Thanks.

Just get a small mixer like [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Behringer-Eurorack-UB502-Table-Top-Mixer-/261327436816"]http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Behringer-Eurorack-UB502-Table-Top-Mixer-/261327436816[/url]

[quote name='fretmeister' timestamp='1383676494' post='2267573'] I was quite interested until I saw the price. £1900 - not a frakking chance. [/quote] +1

[quote name='RandomProddy' timestamp='1383499524' post='2265100'] obbm, you still selling the second half-rack? Long shot I know... [/quote] Not as long as you thought. Yes I do. I'll send you some pictures tomorrow.
