Been looking at you tube videos. Amazing what you can find there. After cleaning all the glass on the Bubble and the Volvo I still saw a haze. So I watched videos to see other options. More videos on fogged head lights. Clay bar and carnauba wax after a thorough cleaning and drying with microfiber towel. Alrighty then!

Morning all.. Been awhile.... just stopping by to check in... I'll catch up on some posts... No tacos today.... The BOSS and I are heading out to China Town in Philly today. I see if I can get The BOSS to post some pics of the day. Will be getting a hair cut and eating lots of food. Picked up some EV 18" subs last night. These will go with my EVi Eliminators that I put on the deck.. I'll post some pics of later... OK gotta roll...day to all.... MKP :-)

Morning gang Marine store run later. Farmers have called in "Girlfriends" for the day. When their Girlfriends show up, nothing gets done...... Ya-ALL know what day it is......

Nelson Pass First Watt F3 // single gain stage, single ended, Class A using JFET power transisters. Playing Very nicely with Jubes. Thanks to members who highly recommended this hard to find amp - Mike, Zim.

Nice to see you here Mark. Enjoy you trip to Philly, a day trip is always fun. Multiple 18" subs? Cool, add some extra bracing to your deck If I could choose the weather for a perfect day, it would match what we're having today, low of 62, high of 85...and sunny. I might take off work early and watch IndyCar practice

Water spots on glass: 0000 Steel Wool with a lil bit of water.

You haven't lived until you scrape ice from your car windows

You are starting to look a little sick, maybe you should let them know you're feeling bad, and quit smiling about it.

Good decision

I would not do it at all, the vibrations caused by the speakers will affect the tubes for sure!!! It can help them to become microphonic and you don't want that...

Hard acts to follow so, will not try, this time: Benny Goodman Live at Carnegie Hall Double LP

Truer words were never spoken.

We only have a few poisonous snakes here but not rattlesnakes. Had to kill a snake yesterday, it was just a brown rat snake about 4'. It was climbing a pole outside to get to a couple of bird houses with baby birds in them. I usually don't kill the non poisonous snakes but I have found many times in the past if I just relocate them even hundreds of feet away they just keep coming back to where they found food, it's happened many times. My wife will not let me forget about what happened two years ago, when two rat snakes ate all the baby birds in 4 different birdhouses because I just moved the snakes and they came back the next day. They each ate the babies in one house moved to the next house and after eating the other birds were too fat to get back out the birdhouse hole and each was stuck in two separate birdhouses. She is really terribly afraid of snakes and that day she got up on a bench outside to look in the hole to see the little birds like she did everyday and a snake was looking back at her, I have heard about it since, I think she may have ruined her paints she was so scared, me laughing didn't help at all. I pull up at the house and her and our oldest daughter was out sitting in the driveway, they wouldn't even walk back up to the house, I had to remove the two birdhouses to get rid of the snakes.

Fire around the house is not good, or rattlesnakes I hate weed whacking, for one it's not fun and the other you have to wear long pants or it really hurts. I wear long pants only when I have to, it get's hot down here, besides dress pants I only have two pair of jeans I hate long pants. Ok i'm old and spoiled and like to be comfortable. Edit; it's not like I have much around here with weeds growing, but when I shaped the gardens and everything else I did it so it all has long curves that can be cut with a 6' finishing mower behind a tractor, I just cut around everything and spray weeds that pop up in the gardens and walkways. All to not weed wack, which is hard work to me.

Just in case it became less lazy.

Not really good to use diesel, but anything with glyphosate works better. Diesel can soak into the ground and kill or hurt any other plants or tree roots under the ground and doesn't last very long for surface weeds. It's ok to spray diesel on treated fence boards if not painted and what drips off can help with weeds along a fence if there are no plant or tree roots in the ground there. Roundup's active ingredient is glyphosate, but the best/cheaper way to buy it is with off brands like the brands at feed stores, like Hi-yield brand of any other off brand with the same chemical, (not paying for a brand name) buy the concentrate not pre mixed which is a ripoff. The only thing is don't spray yourself, (not great for you) you can spray the leaf of any plant you want to kill even if it's right on the side of a plant you want to keep. It's Systemic, it's absorbed through the leaf and kills even the roots, what it really does is starves the weed by no allowing photosynthesis, only killing the weed/plant you spray it on.

Worn out? Check. But the fire danger is just too great to "let it grow". Killed a rattlesnake the other day just lazily hanging out against the side of the house on top of the rockbed.

do you use diesel ..I hear it works great..

Two days, I would be worn out, I hate weed wacking, now spraying I have alot of practice with. I do not bend over to pull a weed, it's much easier to walk around every couple of weeks and spray any weeds in the walkways and gardens.

Cause you can get up to 55mph, really quick.

Hello Teaman, I do not have the original boxes it would be to risky. I am not in the best of health to be lifting and boxing I am sorry.I do go to Michigan every October. Come on down to Tennessee it is nice this time of year !! Thanks, rmlowz

Some more termaters, a few peppers, and a hint of the figgy goodness to come. Teaspoon for size reference. (If you look really close, you can see Paul McCartney deflected in the spoon. Or not.)

These might be worth a checkout. Not affiliated in anyway. Then it turns into whats rarer, a sale of 3 LSs or a single up for grabs? I imagine the 3 at once. Just buy 2 pairs and keep the spare in the bathroom https://newlondon.craigslist.org/ele/6121844658.html

If a person is listening to 1 watt average power, the amplifier will need to put out 20 clean watts to pass peaks undistorted. Don't forget every time the listening distance is doubled SPL falls by 6 dB. ! watt average power into a Khorn is 92 dB SPL 16 feet away. Don't forget to allow for more power if EQ is employed. A 3 dB EQ bump doubles power requirements at that frequency.

It's a nice city, especially for it's size. They perfected the art of getting 500k people in and out of the city.

Thanks George, I never thought to look up the workstations, I was stuck on the connections, glad you could help Thanks.

I have never been, only been to Indiana once. I was there for a week but only went to a few audio stores, Klipsch HQ plus Michael Colter and Roger Chase house, I never even seen the city or the track. It was funny, driving along the interstate and all of a sudden the cornfields end and there you are indy, straight from farms to town.

Seems you sir are a power beast. I love it.

Does this signal a return to vinyl for portable use?

I love the c50pre, of all the gear in my rack thats my favorite, I like it more than my mc452 amp. I never heard the woofer bottom out at all, it sounded like they where moving a bit when I put some juice to them, my amp was going between -20 and -10 db when the cap went but I did notice the resistors on the board where getting extremely hot. I then swopped in my mc452 amp to see if 450 wpc would also make the resistors get hot and they did. I didn't want to chance blowing anything on that crossover board so I just disconnected the jubilee's. One thing I did with my Cornscala's is I replaced the woofers with the k48 for better power handling and I think they sound way better at high volume.

As you say most if not all amps are voltage drive. They have low output impedance and as the load impedance vairies so does the current. For a voltage source providing 8 volts into 8 ohms you will have 1 amp of current. The speaker will dip down at some frequencies to say 4 ohms this voltage source still puts out 8 volts but now it needs to deliver 8/4= 2 amps of current. I would go ahead and say that the top SS amps are not current driven. A current drive amp or also known as a transconductance amp is a whole different beast. Almost all of the speakers you encounter are designed for a voltage source and not a current source. A current source will have high output impedance, a perfect current source will have infinite output impedance. It will deliver a precise current and depending on the load the voltage will change. How does current influence a low watt tube amp? Your question is unclear to me. Maybe it's worded backwards? How does a low watt tube amp influence current? A low watt tube amp, especially a SET with zero global feedback (around the output transformer) can have in todays standards a relatively high output impedance, say 3 ohms. This is where the amps starts to somewhat behave like a current source. Say the device is delivering 10 volts at 100Hz and the impedance is 6 ohms at 100Hz you can view it as a potential divider. 6 / (6+3) = .66 and so .66*10 = 6.6v You will have 6.6v across delivered to the speaker and 3.4v is lost across the output impedance of the amplifier. Now say the impedance is 70 ohms at 2.5kHz, 70 / (70+3) = .95 and so .95*10 = 9.5v You will have 9.5v delivered to the speaker and only .5v is lost across the output impedance of the device. Remember you can have high and low output impedance amps with either tube or SS. Output impedance effects damping. Some speaker have better mechanical damping than others and so they don't require ultra low output impedance. But the majority of speakers out there assume a low output impedance and it's needed to dampen the back EMF created by the moving mass of the woofer. A lot of older amps had variable damping to cater to different speaker manufacturers. Today's speakers are different.

^^^^Agree^^^^, has everything to do with local market demand, condition and relative rarity. When you say "pristine", you mean perfect. Are they in fact "perfect"? Not a scratch, nick, grill pull? Are they walnut, oak, black? It matters.

I can't click on that. I don't know who it is coming from.

I know someone with that album

If the music sounds good and grips my emotions, I can't help but to turn it up.

You know, I honestly can't remember the last time I was at a "Gentleman's Club".....Probably back in 2000-2001, while in Bangkok. Really good deep fried grasshoppers too.

Thank you, thank you very much.....

They do tend that way.

Replace the k-601's with k-61's in your CW2's and you probably won't want to sell them anymore! Lower bass than the Chorus II's and no passive to fuss up placement. I did it to a pair of beat up CW1's that fell into my life and fully intend to cut my pristine WO CW2's and do the same. The CW1's (B-3 crossover), even with the recessed k-77 and k-33 sound so incredible I can't wait to see how the modified FLUSH mounted CW2's sound. That tractrix midrange improves imaging and detail so drastically it is hard to fathom how they weren't the squaker used in the CW3. No disrespect intended... The pencil outline around the k-77 in the picture of the modded CW1's is where a k-79 (or k-107-ti) would slot right in. But the CW2's already HAVE the k-79! With titanium drivers available for both the mids and tweeters, and the addition of a bandpass filter I would think they will be a tough act to follow. ...Until Klipsch produces a dual 15" 2-way using the k-510 in a tower!

Wow, sorry for offending your sensibilities. I don't think its unusual at all for one manufacturer to "comment" on other manufacturer's products. I have heard it more than once. Mr JWC apparently thinks its ok to bring it up the first time. Had I known about his attempt, I would have refrained. On the second point, why not? We are talking about horn systems presented at AXPONA 2017. Is it offensive to solicit opinions of modern horn systems? Thirdly I am glad you don't think its out of bounce for me to comment that I have tried similar designs myself, with very good results. Chill Bro.

As long as everyone is happy that's all that matters. Issues are strictly minor cosmetic ones.

Made a separate post, but got these two from the same lady for free ths week. A pair of Sansui SP-2000 4-way speakers and an Akai X-360 rtr (does 1 7/8, 3 3/4, 7 1/5, 15 ips). Bruce

Time ran out on the Chieftain and other Pontiacs. Did you know that Pontiac Bonnevilles in 1957 & 1958 could be had with Rochester fuel injection, similar to that on Chevrolets? 8

Anyone living through the 70s and 80s had to have had Neil Young as a favourite artist I myself was a roadie for my friends band ( he was the drummer and the best man at my wedding ) They specialised in playing sets with Crosby Stills Nash - Neil Young and James Taylor songs That and the fact that I lived in a beach town was very influential in my music listening choice This has to be a generational classic album Artist - Neil Young Title - On The Beach And although its not on this album - my favourite song is Alabama ( it's to do with a girl I fell for )

More woofage... (Excuse the moving pads)

Md5150, I was a complete luddite with the active crossover thing. More than a bit lost, and at the risk of coming off as a bit of a pest, I decided to drop Chris a line and asked for some help. Once armed with the proper tools... REW software and a miniDSP UMIK-1 USB Measurement Calibrated Microphone, and Chris's expertise, I was able to get things sounding very good after and afternoon of running sweeps and emailing the results to Chris. Chris did his magic making the crossover profile and sent me back the settings and then I entered the data on my XP-4080 via the XConsole. I am very please with the sound and can't thank Chris enough for all his patience and help!!!

I bought an SR7010 a few weeks ago from accessories4less.com. Love it, and the price was right. Factory refurbished gear is like new. As you no doubt know, the SR7010 is loaded with features and so far has performed flawlessly for me. I haven't upgraded to Atmos yet since my primary interest is music reproduction. It sounds great with my Khorns. Highly recommended.
