  4. Atta Boy John! I'm getting tub fulls and you're getting a collection. I'm not laffin too hard here. It only took me almost 3 years to them in alphabetical order. That's all on me though cause we all know I'm pathetically worthless. "It ain't going anywhere" applies but you're gonna be pullin and playin then makin piles. hahahaha The life of an apprentice DJ so have fun brother. THEN you get to take pics n post! MORE drama? H3ll ya cause you'll be grinnin then you can get up and change the LP and repeat! Oh yea don't forget those thoughts on the LP too. THEN ya get to clean them all. Oh yea, I'm grinnin as most of us are I'm sure. Lately I've filled some voids w/too much new stuff. This showed the other day and yea buddy it's Greg Allman max bluesy and clean. IF ya gotta have Greg n the boys. The struggle is real and NEVER-ending! The life of a DJ! Yea, ya just sit around and play music every day. Uh huh! 😂 😎

  5. Tell me about it... still troubled about my inability to post pics of my new bounty. So yes, Greatest Hits, APPro... Along with IRobot. Eliminator, ZZTOP and Steppenwolf Live, 2lp...happy face. That from seller I posted here Just opened up the 2nd package last night from other seller here. The record I have left elsewhere whilst on the road. ZZTOP, Tres Hombres...like new Vinyl... enjoying more than streaming any of these... more to follow up with the rest, unveiled. Hopefully you were quick to get the...YES!

  6. My home is almost 100 years old. Lots of good thick glass block in the building. This one was covered for about 75 years (+/-). I only knew it was there because I could see it from the outside (2nd floor). I just tore down a wall to get to it a few months ago. There was actually another wall behind the first one I tore out, so I had to tear down two walls. I was hoping for exposed brick as it is a solid brick home, but the wall had been plastered over. Came up with the slat wall idea and you see the result. Time flies by when you sit down, turn up some tunes and veg out.

  9. Those are interesting @Full Range, like the gray rubbery stuff in the front of the upright piece to help prevent movement and damage to the items. Thanks for the heads up on those LPs for sale. Things are happening, caught my brother in a good mood yesterday and while talking he expressed his appreciation for something that I've been tackling the past six months or so. This Tuesday he's going to bring those four crates of records up here and man, I'm going to be busy. Already ordered the motor/LP spinner, got to narrow down the ultrasonic I'll invest in today. The 40khz variety that is available in my budget all have one year warranties. A few have the sweep function that varies the khz by 3 or so cycles so that there aren't any "hot spots" in the tank. Thinking I might put it to use then pass along through the garage sale here possibly. If a place I've found in the midwest here turns out to be legit I've got a line on a SharperTek with a two year warranty. Found prices that amounted to too good to be true on a Crest 45khz unit also but that place splashes "call us with any questions" on their nicely done site then doesn't answer the phone. The way I'm wired that's my most basic "sniff test" for www purchasing, it's a no-go. Any of you that clean your LPs have a preference for the surfactant that you use that works well? Yea, I've searched and have it narrowed down, just curious. Drying might be manual and that could add a year! Figure with the limitations of the usage constraints time wise it would take me a year or so to clean what I have already then the "new" stuff that looks good enough to attempt. Then I might be done with collecting records `cause I know I'll have to downsize in the future sometime. The size of my collection could triple if there are a lot that trip my trigger in those crates. It's possible that @Dave1290 will have some competition soon for his unofficial DJ moniker!

  12. Are you saying you treated the inductors and voice coils with that "contact enhancer"? I ask because they have an enamel coating (insulation), yet it seems as though that's what you'd said you did (and reported a difference in sound?). I'm curious now about that product, and if perhaps you're related in any way to the family name Medwin.

  13. Rain is GOOD as is downtime now! Put those feet up and take it to a new level now that ya have those Cornwall's! Hit the lounge and check out the Vinyl Record Spinning thread or hit Right This Minute. We be jammin! Well kinda maybe IF we can remember what album we were pulling out to play when we get over to the albums. The struggle is real. hahaha Either way enjoy!

  16. Part of the process that I use (and many others) to dial in the response using a DSP crossover is to: first look at the raw response of each driver/horn individually, then flatten the response of each driver within each driver's usable passband (what you see above) using REW to help optimize the PEQs, then look at leveling the channel gains for each driver, then decide where to put the crossover frequency for each pair of drivers/horns being crossed by plotting all the individual driver responses on the same plot, like you see above. At this point, the decision can be made to use a simple lower order or higher order crossover filter for each channel (low pass on the lower frequency drivers, high pass on the higher). In my main rig (Jubilees, K-402-MEH, etc.), I'm using PEQs to do the crossover filter duties by using the natural points of crossover responses of the paired drivers/horns to tell me where to put the crossover frequencies (i.e., "fractional order crossovers" because the resulting slopes at the crossovers points are usually between second and fourth order slopes of 12 to 24 dB/octave). Using PEQs instead of regular crossover filters eliminates the phase shifts associated with those electrical filters and yields a much flatter phase response overall. For the example above (Shinall KKS Khorn clone), I used first order filters at both the crossover frequencies due to the nature of the natural response of the drivers/horns used, which have narrow frequency bands of opportunity to use without SPL or phase issues interfering with the desired combined response, while still retaining very low phase growth across the entire operating range, as can be seen above. The point that @glens was trying to clear up was whether the plot above reflected the end of step 4 or the end of step 5. So the plot above reflects the step 4 state of the process--i.e., natural response of each driver, but its response is initially flattened using PEQs within the DSP crossover. There are more steps to completing the process started above, namely setting the relative channel delays in order to minimize phase and group delay growth issues and to get smooth frequency response through the crossover interference bands. This is usually an iterative process and sometimes this step can take a little while while looking at SPL and phase response while changing the relative channel delays. After a satisfactory crossing of drivers using the right channel delays for the loudspeaker under test, the overall smoothness of the SPL response of the loudspeaker can be dialed-in using the DSP crossover input and output PEQ filters to fine tune the flatness of response. The result of that exercise is shown in this post above. By using the steps that I describe above, very good results can be expected using DSP crossovers for even the most challenging loudspeakers, such as Khorns. Chris

  33. By the way, in the past I was somewhat amazed at the narrow band that the midrange can effectively cross over to the tweeter in Klipsch Heritage models, and that the bass bin overlap with the midrange is actually larger (on axis, without considering phase response) than has been reported. Below you will see the overall SPL response of the Shinall after extensive work, and below that you will see the individual driver/horn overlaps for the bass bin, midrange, and tweeter with flattened SPL for each driver/horn. No crossovers used for each driver/horn in the lower plot: Notice the fairly narrow overlap band of the tweeter and midrange - and the actual crossover point is at 5 kHz, not 4 kHz as can be seen as a more likely crossover frequency. This is due to the phase response of the tweeter, which takes off in the wrong direction (lagging phase) below 5 kHz. Additionally, I lowered the crossover point of the bass bin to midrange from the nominal 400 Hz to 280 Hz. The reason for this is not only the complex polar coverage of the bass bin above 300 Hz, but also the phase response of the bass bin inexplicably takes off, again in the wrong direction--as leading phase above 300 Hz. Both of the phase response issues serve to set the crossover frequencies in the Khorn (although a clone is being used here, it's a fairly accurate one). Just my observations on the results of this exercise and the lessons learned along the way. Chris

  34. Finally, I also treated the RF 7 MK II crossover, so the boards copper coils and contacts of all resistors and capacitors, with the NASA Contact Enhancer. The result was impressive as you can see

  39. Having been in the bar/lounge business (D5 License) for a short time I wish you a lot of success. Two of the areas in that venue that are very difficult to make money are food and live entertainment. You actually start to think better of those drunken sots after the years roll by. At another place and time we had a Seeburg remote telephone dial 25 LP juke box system hooked into AR speakers that worked very well for the inebriated crowd. The album covers were fastened to the walls with large numbers glued to each album. Not much sophistication involved there however but it worked flawlessly. JJK

  40. Hello All! Newbie here, this is my first post, just thought I would chime in on the La Scala bass bins , as I have built them and am currently using them under my Scalas. I am a hobbyist audiophile and also a hobbyist woodworker. I am not a proffessional at either of these hobbies. I was introduced to Klipsch heritage stuff by my friend Mike, who has a very nice SAE rack setup and a pair of speaker lab Khorns. I started with a pair of herseys then bought walnut Khorns at pawn shop for $900 back in the 90's. Sold the khorns and herseys as my wife and daughters came along and house would not accomodate the khorns anymore. Then comes I pod etc. vintage music went away in our household and did not fit in until I built 30 x 40 woodworking shop behind our house. Ended up lurking on craigslist for woodworking tools and stereo stuff. Ended up with a nice mitsubishi amp, pre, meters and tuner setup from one owner. then along comes La Scalas from craigslist, painted black, cats lived in them and get them home both tweeters blown. Get crites c-120 tweets washers for mid drivers and new crites 4500 xovers. I do really like the scalas alot, but they do lack in base and if you listen for long periods your head will hurt. They are very direct in the mids and will get to you with louder volumes. I am a blues guitar guy and that is the music I listen to and I do like it louder, these speakers will wear you down. So, that was just a little history to set the scene here. I built the base bins , and I am currently running them. My opinion is that they do help some, and are a little better than without, but not the total answer. I am going to get a sub for sure, or make a sub. I am super glad I ran into this post as, I feel I will probably make one of the Bill Fitzmaurice subs referenced in this thread> Sorry for the long rambling Thanks for Looking The bass bins are not enough of an answer------------ a sub is needed to reproduce the lower frequencies. Thanks Gordon

  41. Thanks for the responses guys. I was listening at about 85 db avg with peaks to 93. The volume dial is at about 12 o'clock. I guess I expected that level of volume lower on the dial. I guess it doesn't really matter where the knob is. The Marantz at the same level is harsher sounding. I guess that is what the extra power gives you. No necessarily louder as you don't listen louder given the extra power but a cleaner sound at the same SPL. I checked the hook-ups again and they are correct. The inputs all act the same and the tone controls are defeated. When I said louder at low volumes I should have said louder at lower volume setting (dial). If that makes sense. I think you nailed it. I was expecting to be blown away with this huge sound as soon as I turned it up a bit and that wasn't the case. I am going to see if warms up to me. It is just odd to me that I am only getting an spl of about 85-90 db with a 225 wpc amp at 50% of its volume potential. I was expecting a lot more volume at that dial position. Having said that it is a much clearer sound at that level and probably has a lot more to give versus the Marantz that basically stalls out at that volume level.
