If the amp is functioning to this level, maybe the audio input is missing?
Have you checked the audio level going in? Flat wire connectors make this
difficult, and I'm almost betting this unit uses them... grrr.

When he says "startup relay", is he referring to a relay that turns on the
main power transformer from a standby supply ? I'm not familiar with this
model of Aiwa, but it occurs to me that it may also have an output relay
that's not coming in ?

**Er, 1978 ~ 2010 is not 600,000 years. Not even close. However, this graph
may provide a little more information:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Vostok_Petit_data.svg

Not quite 600,000 years, but considerably more than 30. Here's some more
information:

**I am satisfied that AGW has been shown to be the most likey explanation
for the temperature rise that has been noted, with around 95% confidence.
That is not 100% confidence and would likely not qualify for the money. It
is likely that, by the time 100% confidence has been reached, several things
will have occured:

* Milloy will be dead.
* VERY serious problems associated with global warming will be occuring and
the planet will have descended into a state of anarchy. US Dollars will
likely be virtually worthless. Food will be only currency of value.

**Which is why measuring the rate of heat retention by the oceans is so
important:

http://www.bom.gov.au/inside/eiab/State-of-climate-2010-updated.pdf

Examine the graph on page 4. The planet's oceans store vastly more heat than
the troposphere does. The oceans are warming.

**Really? Which errors? We know that the Sun output has diminished
(slightly) over the past couple of decades and yet the temperature trend of
the Earth is still up.

**Which is why ocean temperature measurements are so important. It is the
planet's oceans that contain the most heat. By a considerable margin.

**I do not have an "unshakable certainty in AGW and the IPCC". I accept that
the 95% certainty of AGW is a reasonable figure. What I find irrational is
the fact that many people seem to be clinging to the 5% uncertainty and
hoping that a very large number of very smart scientists are wrong.

Fundamentally, the way I see it is like this:

* If we spend a few Bucks today to mitigate CO2 emissions, we may be able to
avert the 95% probability of disaster.
* If we don't spend the money today, then it is highly probable (95%
certainty) that the cost will escalate with each passing year, to a point
where we will be unable to fund mitigation.
* If the scientists are wrong and we spend a few Bucks now, then it's cost
us some money.
* If the scientists are right and we don't spend the money, our civilisation
will not likely survive.

Make no mistake: I did not say that humans will be wiped out. Many will
survive. Anarchy is loking like a real probability.

**Nope. I accept that when all the planet's climatologists warn of a problem
that they are likely to be correct. I also accept that you are a complete

climatologists being bribed, without a solitary shred of evidence to support
your claim. I also accept that you dismiss AGW, without bothering to study

I don't see anything inconsistent whatsoever. What i see is two
statements that the AGW crowd has failed to make their case, and they
resent anyone saying so. I also see refusal to join shouting matches.
So, what do you see?

you that if you did not alter your diet, you would get a heart attack and 3

Not desperate. This is business as usual in the "more research is
necessary" business. That's the tag line used by professionals
seeking funding for their favorite projects, and to support their
lifestyle. Some good examples of such research that actually does get
funded can be found mixed in with:
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Ig_Nobel_Prize_winners>
For example, last year's peace prize went to several individuals for:
"...confirming the widely held belief that swearing relieves pain."

More in line with AGW is the topic of bovine flatulence (farting):
<http://sxxz.blogspot.com/2008/01/do-cow-farts-cause-global-warming.html>
Checking Google Scholar, shows 54 reports on bovine flatulence.
<http://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&q="bovine+flatulence">

Another is rotting vegetation behind dams belching methane.
<http://www.green-planet-solar-energy.com/hydroelectric-energy.html>
So, even the "cleanest" source of electricity we have is not
considered a contributor to global warming. Google Scholar shows
about 200 relevant reports.

Pick a topic that even hints of global warming, and there will be a
line of "researchers" banging on the door for funding.

>IIRC there were reports of "global warming" on mars also, no wonder
>those martians want to come and kill us ! :)

Yep. We imported the inquisition, bigotry, and intolerance from the
old world to the new. We'll probably do the same when we walk on
Mars.

Do you own a loudspeaker?

Most speakers are rated for so many dBSPL with one watt input, at one
meter. You will need as anechoic a room as possible, or just set it up
outside at night (or whenever the ambient noise is minimum). I would
use a pink noise source (constant energy per octave) -- .wav files
seem to be on the web.

+++++

I can see that being as accurate as a calibrator that hasn't been calibrated
for 20 years say or manufacturing variabilities of ipod microphones.
Assuming the chosen speaker magnet does not decrease in power too much over
time.
I assume that is for speaker driver on its own, in free space as, I assume
the sound from the rear of the cone ,in theory ,will never reach the SPL
meter.

>I have a half-gig of RAM.

Would have been OK at first, but as service packs have been added the
memory requirement has increased. You really should give Win2kSP4 1 gig
of RAM for best performance. 512Mb is enough to load it, but once you
start running apps...

Stick some more memory in. It's dirt cheap now.

>The confusing issue is that performance has been gradually deteriorating,
>despite the fact that the configuration hasn't changed for years.

a) you've added service packs and Windows updates, yes?

b) the registry will have grown in size over time - how big is it now?

c) have you ever defragged?

d) sizing partitions to achieve the minimum cluster size is unwise - it
makes the filesystem allocation tables very large, which gobbles up
memory. The problem will worsen the more files are stored on the disk.

e) are you using FAT32? if so, why? command prompt and "convert c:
/fs:ntfs"

Don't. Click "System-managed page file" and be happy.

You mentioned Piriform's Crap Cleaner. I can also highly commend their
Defraggler software - give that a few runs; it'll need it on a badly
fragmented disk.
