  6. As is usually the case, the truth tends to be somewhere in the middle. To satisfy my curiosity, I ordered a pair of Altas PD-5VH's. Below are plots of a new PD-5VH (Blue) and an old K55V push pin (Orange). Both measurements start at 300hz on a K-400 horn with no filter. I'll let you decide the frequency responses of each driver. Again, the Altas driver is brand new. I don't know if the FR will change over time. Mike

  7. Mornin JohnJ......didn't want you to think you were talking to yourself🙂 39 degrees and clear. May warm up to mid 40's by LF's tennis session. Just wondering how long this post Covid fatigue will last. Don't have the energy to swat a fly! No music and only a couple of drinks in the past month! Guess I need to start shopping for old age homes😑

  8. A beautiful concert by Donald Byrd at the Olympia in 1958: I like the style of this reissue: the record as originally in 58: the Brunswick labels are magnificent = see my photos, the beautiful original photos of JP Leloir, the quality of the cover, the glossy front photo, the "50s" style back, the antistatic lined quality "SAM" sleeve... Music, I'm discovering at the moment: I like https://londonjazzcollector.wordpress.com/2013/04/13/new-donald-byrd-quintet-byrd-in-paris-1958-brunswick/ https://www.discogs.com/fr/release/22148350-Donald-Byrd-Byrd-In-Paris-Volume-1 😍

  15. Nothing better than hearing brass played over speakers mady by PWK or the new Chief! Might listen to that whole release @MicroMara ! Going to see about getting a little more speed out of my internet package. 35down - 7up just isn't snappy enough

  16. We are not in a cold snap here, I learned about this new to me version of them a month ago! 30s to 50s this week, chance of snow was yesterday but it was in the 40s then. And I've heard it does take a while to get over that crap guys! Can you fight it like with oats in the morn along with a B vitiman supplement? I had one of those Kind 8g protein bars every morn so I could take my Rx's and supplements when I was mobile last year for five months. Thats their main ingredient. Threw a couple leftover blackberries that have been in sugar for two days in my oatmeal a couple hours ago! I believe oats are the best carb if they even are? Back to my natural-processed Colombian, only making 24 oz in the morn so it can last longer!

  17. 2009-2014 were tough times with the HDMI chip failure issue. Both my TX-NR807 and TX-NR818 went back to Onkyo. Most importantly, Onkyo repaired them no questions asked, even out of warranty. They even sent me the box, packing and UPS pick-up label.

  20. It's got to be pretty dead in here if I'm making the last three consecutive posts over about a 24 hour period Like I said👃, because I need my stuff Had almost the same tonight, except I will have some more of that cheesecake that I had earlier. Anyhow it was not Kobe, so not total sacrilege. Man tonight's still had some pink but wasn't med-rare like last nights in the above picture. Pimento cheese in an 8oz container cost more???

  21. Videologic Digitheater DTS is a good speaker "package" for $600. Its multimedia thou, not HT. Its 5.1 as well, check out some reviews of it if you want more info.-Gxcad c>

  22. I have a new KK266-R and was wondering what you think it means when its turned on with everything in place and it fails to post or beep, and sends no signal to the monitor. The last time I remember my computer did this was when I oced my proc too far... I have never gotten my KK266-R to post but it does receive power (all the fans and jigamawats start to light up and turn).... any ideas? Thanks-Gxcad c>

  23. It seems like someone set me up the bomb...I mean I think my cpu is busted, I have tried various tests to come to this conclusion. Well, I have a 1.33 t-bird on the way so when that arrives I will find out now won't I? -Gxcad c>

  27. I forgot to mention I noticed something very interesting. When I had the CP1 hooked up to the sats with the old xover there was hiss when in idle (like the original high gain preamp) but when I used the new sats there was no hiss! Maybe the new sats have a lower volume compared to the old sats cuz I also noticed that they *might* have sounded quieter than the old ones at the same position on the preamp. Of course, it can also mean that the new sats simply reproduce less white noise, which is probably a good thing -Gxcad c>

  28. Ok first off, I got them from soundcity.com and they were $294ish including all fees. I've tried the CP1 with the old sats before I went full out and setup the 4.1. The CP1 seemed to enhance the gain (louder) and bass was louder and tighter (less boomy). The sound also MIGHT have sounded a little clearer, but it was so hard to tell that it probably was my ears playing tricks on me. Ok now new satellites, Boom! Yes there is noticibly more midrange! I think there is also less excessive sound...if you know what I mean. I'd hardley call it an improvement straight up, I'd say most people would say its an improvement but its very debateable and I bet there'd be a lot of people who prefered the old crossover. The sats don't have improved sound quality, they merely have a slightly different type of sound, so its a matter of taste weither its an upgrade or not, IMO.Theres my short report! -Gxcad c>

  30. Oops! I guess I'm a little late here but I would of mentioned the Sony GDM-F400, this is the absolute best Sony 19 inch monitor and since it is no longer produced, if you can find one you can get it for ~$550 (originally $1000) The reviews for this monitor are like what you read about the promedias, minus the bang for buck comments.-Gxcad c>

  31. Klipsch recommends putting the port at least 6 inches from the wall and each woofer 2 inches I think. This is perfect distance if you put your sub right against the wall with the port facing the corner. They also mentioned that it won't damage the sub if you don't follow those guidelines, just that they recommend them. Also, this may not be accurate since it is from memory and not from searching the archives, but I think it was 6 from port 2 from each woofer.-Gxcad c>

  32. If you ask me, BASH doesn't sound like much of a technology, rather more like a sound effect. I've been using BASH technology for years, particularly when I'm frustrated. Ex: If computer fails to boot, BASH head on keyboard 21 times while chanting "All your BASH are belong to us" Note: You do not have to chant unless you have upgraded to Win ME. Ex2: New features of windows 2000: #1 CTRL-ALT-DEL is now used to START your computer. Note: you can not get windows 98 to overclock into windows 2000 no matter how much cooling or voltage you give it. In those examples, I am using BASH technology against Microsoft. This is commonly refered to as BASHing. On a more serious note, I think the 2.1's don't have BASH because BASH is a technology used for the 4.1 sub, which has 2 drivers. Since the 2.1 has only 1 driver, it does not need this BASH technology for it to work?? Correct me if I'm wrong . -Gxcad Edit: I am sleepy c>

  34. Unit is in great shape, has remote and original manual. Would prefer local pick up in the Charlotte / Matthews NC area. Mark performed one repair to correct a problem with fuses blowing too easily and the unit has been flawless ever since. $1200 OBO

  35. A blast from the past - who was there ? Keep in mind that Bach was an instrument builder and developed many organs. So he probably would have approved of this
