Cracking open a Galaxy Audio PA amp

I'm sorry to hear that (that you're feeling better, that is).

Just wondering why you decided to inject the adjective "professional" into this discussion. As the OP, are you suggesting that my application, or the equipment associated with this amp, are "professional"? Because I can assure you that we (the band that used to use this amp) are pretty close to 100% amateurs (of course in the best original meaning of the word).

I'm not sure I would even classify this amp (Galaxy Audio Core PA5X140) as a "professional" piece of equipment. Though it does appear to be very well built: I guess you could drop it two or three stories and it still might work.

Wot ! You mean there is such a thing ... ? d:-}

Nah, all our humor comes from the UK: Monty Python, Dame Edna, Eddy Izzard, Tracy Ullman, etc.

Ackshooly, I've been saying for years that there are two types of Americans distinguishable by their taste for Brit humor. One one side we have the PBS-type humor, exemplified by "Are You Being Served?" (which I despise); on the other are those who like Benny Hill. I'm in the latter camp myself. (Hey, what's better than total slapstick? Worked for Chaplin ...)

Sure, look who get elected as our leaders :)

Perhaps it will.....Have you used sufficient force?

More force is definitely not the answer (despite the many jokes here about dynamite, angle grinders, etc.)

The key was removing the nut around a phone jack on the back of the case, which you'd know if you read through the rest of the thread.

Yes.....Even if you were to crack the plastic, cracked plastic is a fairly easy thing to fix, and/or live with. Consider cutting a large hole in the back, which can later be covered with a glued- on piece of plastic, and used as an inspection/access hole in the interim. ( I belong to the, "get a bigger hammer" school of maintenance....:^)

The American equivalent is, "Get a bigger hammer".

As you probably know from reading my posts on other forums, David, I do my emailing serially, and seldom have the time or inclination to, "Read the rest of the thread." For one thing, I only get to email at all for a short time each day, and I try, as far as I can, to be helpful during that short time. I would think that you would be a little kinder to those of us who are trying to help you with your problem.....You treat all of us like we are just a bunch of smart asses, even though there are some of us who would really like to help you.....If you would prefer, I can always put you in my kill file, so I won't "waste your time" in the future.

Sure, but your senses have been dulled by a lifetime of exposure to 'British Humor' ;-)

If you need a bigger hammer, you ARE a redneck.

True, but cracking the case will sometimes crack the PC board. This happened to me with an irreplaceable Toshiba remote.

In a way, so am I, BION.

(For one thing, I /may/ have to think of another nick, although something tells me you - and dozens of other friends I have made on the Usenet over the years - might like to help me out with that daunting task... 'Fuckbrain' is probably already taken, but please feel free to suggest other suitable nicks!)

Anyway, it's not worth explaining depression to someone who probably has little understanding of the ways of the human brain, let alone of the mystifying intricacies of audio cable construction.

'Dimbulb' is already taken on most of the sci.electronics groups. OTOH, he has 90 sock puppets you could steal. ;-)

The same goes for pain 24/7.

In your world maybe

If it makes you happy to think so. I've seen some real crap on the market that was called 'professional quality'. BTW, I owned a commercial sound business for about 15 years. I also saw equipment & cabling that was 20 years old and still working fine. I see more and more crap being made overseas that claim to be high quality or professional quality that will be lucky to not be in a landfill in a couple years.

There you go then. You are confusing crap chinese, prepacked cables with the words 'Professional' on the packet, for cables which are hand made using the finest quality cable and connectors. There is very little 'on the market' that is anywhere near professional quality. Most pro companies either build their own cabling or have it made by companies specialising in producing cabling for industry use. When your livelihood depends on performance, you don't use 'Monster' cables!

In my forty some years experience of working in professional audio, I have found that it's very rare for a properly made cable to fail without outside intervention.

Yep that's the best that the Nebenzahl troll-bot imbecile can do. What did you expect from someone who let a simple 1/4 jack nut defeat him for days LMAO!
