Uhh! I hate EGR's! They're so diluting of my intake. Yeah, they may be "cooling" to my overall combustion, but dang, they just throw my ratios all out of stoichiometry!
The EGRs kill all the DI motors. I thought Seafoam or alcohol injection would help.
It is Danish. Danish is a Germanic language, of course, but after watching a nice 10 minute video of Danish rules - the "T" and the "K" in the middle of the word might actually be pronounced as a "D" and a "G". I is always pronounced "ee". So it could conceivably be pronounced as "poong'd geel day". However, the rules governing different sounds of a consonant depending where it falls in a word might not apply to something like this, which is actually two words "point" and "source". If it is anything like other German langauges, how to use borrowed/compound words are anyone's guess.
Using an online translator, the sound of the final consonant sounds more like "er", as in keeler, with emphasis on the second syllable. Hard to transcribe the accent, however.
I used to be conversationally fluent in German, I imagine Danish would be easy to pick up. I stopped conversing in German a year after high school when an old German woman I would visit passed away. It doesn't take long for the language skills to fade, although I do still dream in German from time to time.
Ach! Du sprichst! Bischen nur hier.
I've never dreamed in it though, and was the star pupil of my class. Im amazed at what comes back to me from 25 years ago.
Looking at the PE Holiday Flash Sale I see the APA150 is now $200 - on sale. I have a pair of them NIB (branded Franklin Audio) that I have no idea what to do with. I use a third for testing speakers and for that purpose it seems perfectly suited.
So for shits and giggles, I looked at a few other items. DC160 is $33 now.
Most of the GRS stuff is about 50% higher than this time last year.
PE rarely puts anything on-sale, and when they do the discounts are rarely enticing. I'm not sure what is going on over there, but I hope it is temporary. I don't mind paying occasional price increases - hell, that is how the world works - but damn.
Supply and demand. They have some demand and even less supply. I imagine they are running into supply chain issues with the China entry level products. It seems premium producs are less affected.
Tom, those are very similar, and likely fit about the same. The vents are in the outer rim on the Talent/Sonus models, but similar nonetheless. These are also soft velour-style padding, whereas the ones I have modded have been more of a vinyl/faux-leather.
If they have 50mm drivers, then the swap will indeed work.
Nice DOTD today. I'm sure those GRT 8" planars are just as easy to work with as the Audiopur that I used in my last project. Great chance for someone to try a dipole mid hybrid.

It's "Say-ahs, not Sees gabdambit".... this is really important I say
Now pronounce Punktkilde correctly
I can.
"Punked Kaled Uh...
"Poonkt-kill-duh"
And yes- "Say-Oz"

I was being cheeky with my wording.....
.....but yeah, both EGR types are 👎
Actually, it is "poonkt keel day".
I'm damn lost, wth are you talking about?
Punktkilde is a weird little division of Eastech, which owns Scan Speak now. It is always fun coaching proper pronunciation of European brands.
I know some Danish folk, I'll ask them.
I took 4 years of German. It could be duh/day, kill/keel; could be north or south dialects as they are different.

In MX the language to learn is English, later I picked Portuguese. I want to retake Japanese.
With COVID I got swamped and devolved to spanglish...
I can ask "where is the toilet" in about 5 different languages. Comes in handy...

These are deeply discounted. Sound absolutely amazing. Was listening within a few minutes of opening the package.
How good is the microphone on these? People often say my voice is a bit muffled when I use headphones like these
Microphone?
I ordered a set of AKG to try out...
InDIYana Event Website
The the AKG page talks about making and managing phone calls.
I think I will order a pair. AKG knows a lot about microphones.
It very well could serve as a mic, I have no intention of using them as such.
