when i used to have a powerbook back in college, i used to get this thing where the case would vibrate, and i couldn't figure out what the fuck it was. turns out that the powerbooks/macbook pros have a grounding issue when you don't use the three prong power adapter that comes with the laptop. check it out here i got the same thing with the dac-ah the first day i got it. after listening to it for about an hour, i noticed that even though i had turned it off, that it had the electric vibration. needless to say, it was a bit stronger than the ones i noticed with the powerbook. same thing happened the second thing i got zapped, except this time it was when i was touching the interconnect.

honestly, this whole thing is so fucked up i just don't know what to think

i hear you man

well the second time i got shocked was when i touched the interconnect to pull it from the dac-ah. so i just grabbed the connector, not the case at all. i was thinking that the current may be coming from the lunchbox because it uses a two prong power cable. *shrug*

it wasn't two sides of the same cable, it was the grounded point in the case and one of the points on the outlet input

cool thanks

god this is bugging the shit out of me, the case is grounded, so it shouldn't be causing this voltage issue. if i remember correctly, i never touched the case the second time i got shocked, just the interconnect. fuck fuck fuck.

so i had someone with an ee background take a look at it and he said that everything seems fine. used a multimeter on it as well and said it was fine, although i thought the multimeter said SHRT on it, not sure if that means short or not, but i'm going to assume that's what SHRT means?

is there any possibility that my radioshack power cable is the problem here?

wow i have no idea what i'm doing

well..i completely forgot that my surge protector has an indicator on it that shows if or if not the outlet is grounded. indeed my outlet is grounded, so there's probably a short somewhere. anyone want to tell me how to find it?

damn that must have been weird. haha.

thanks again Nate. i still have to go to home depot and get a ground tester to see if the outlet is grounded or not. i'm just assuming that it is because none of the other things i got plugged into the surge protector seem to be having any problems (at least as far as i know). that's where the two grounded wires are connected to the case. i'll get a ground tester today and check it out. thanks again.

thanks Nate. i feel like it's something with the case, cause the last time it got me was when i was reaching for the rca plugs and the first time was when i picked the damn thing up. needless to say, i've got the thing unplugged because i'm not using the damned thing until i figure this out.

i got too many shoes to take pictures of

christ, i was like, "eh it looks alright," but then fucking vader and yoda come out and i'm like, "holy fuck!"

so here are internal pics of the dac-ah. if you guys could take a look, i'd really appreciate it. i'm not sure you'll get all the detail you need, but i tried my best. if you need more pictures, let me know.

Beach Games episode Office Season 3

hehe, i'm sure you'll have a better idea than i will

holy god that is awesome.

i've never heard of johnnie walker swing, how is it?

Thanks a bunch Nate. I'll take some pictures asap if you could take a look at it later. I opened it up yesterday but hell, I didn't know what the fuck I was looking at.
