Miles Davis - Sketches of Spain

I didn't feel like opening the vinyl So I'm doing this instead

Funny! How many bands have just released ONE lp, which is a nice listen and resonates then poof they're gone? I get the 45 thingy with the one-hit wonders then an lp. I've always wondered WHY no more. Kinda like trying to figure out the weather I guess. Got quite a few of 'em here, which is even more insane. 😂 Quit laffin ya ALL got 'em and we ALL know it! 😂

Australian progressive rock band, that was formed in 1976. Also put together by former members of Sebastian Hardie Only one album released Artist - Windchase Title - Symphinity

and I have a total of 2293 posts. Thats a bit less than 2/week.

Tropical temps here at 9.10 pm, didn´t left the house today . Helped a friend the last two weeks to design his garden . Now I got the bill ..can´t move anymore 😂, Friday the 2nd. of august I have a meeting in the hospital in view to my upcoming surgerys. I´ll see and I´m quite relaxed in this matter. Today I spun two albums only...Fleetwood Mac " Tusk " and Brand X " Do they hurt " ( lot´s of musical parallels to Weather Report )

K, I set my checking account up w/Zelle at my bank to pay a woman I KNEW to ship something to my daughter in Phoenix. She had a Zelle account and sent me her info. She also had Paypal, etc she used in her home business. She got the payment and it came out of my checking account with no problem. Zelle was attached to my acct and eventually cancelled cause I didn't use it I guess. I got a notice from my bank saying it was taken off. I checked and it is gone. Now the deal on HOW he got your Zelle information is ANOTHER thing. THAT would totally flip me out. If the money shows in your bank then it's a good thing BUT can he get it back anyway since you accepted his paypal 1$? THAT would be a good question for someone at your bank who knows. I know my bank offers it as a service and it worked for me. I'd think your bank understands the platform cause they use it for deposits and prolly payments from accounts. I'd call the geeks at your bank and be sure to get their name, rank and serial number. The Paypal 1$ would totally freak me out too. I will tell you this much. My youngest is TOTALLY geeked out and runs a huge business of her own along with two other big businesses. She's seen it ALL brother. Early on I bought a few things off guys in here using a PayPal acct I'd set up just to use for that. PayPal kept wanting more of my banking info and I was reluctant to give it to them. I'm old, MY money, i have a bank so nope. I was GONE! Told her what they wanted to do and she said no way! She said, "Dad PayPal is NOT a bank! It's a business that deals in banking to make money. They can hit your credit report any time someone complains and they do!" She has nothing to do with PayPal and never will. I get it though, but Paypal is NOT a bank. No FSLIC just a business. Dunno. I'd be wondering too but it's all a question for someone at your bank to make sure your money is yours and staying there. Could move it into another account but then who knows what accounts PayPal could attach to get the money back. Certified bank draft, check whatever. They want it they'll do it. If not, write it off. Agreee with ^^^^^ stick w/the gut if ya can't get the answers ya need. Crazy world today!

I’m not familiar with zelle at all but I say always trust your gut. If something seems off, it probably is. Be safe with your money, especially if you didn’t give the buyer your zelle information.

Not a Zelle expert, but something doesn't smell right on this one. Particularly if it is a high dollar item. The $1 dollar paypal payment is also in a word; weird. I'd ask him to reverse the Zelle payment and send PayPal as agreed. If he bails, tell him you'll send back the buck.

I’ve been a member since 2015 and met a ton of great people here.

Smart, very smart!

18.5 years for me. And this is my 135th post. Don't know if I can keep up this blistering pace!

All you need is one more posts or 2 to enable PM. You have 4 as of now. Welcome @BRBNGUY... how are you doing?

Thanks for your input/replies. (I connect the Left Sub-woofer to the A-S2200's Left Speaker-level out-put and the Right Sub-woofer to the A-S2200's Right Speaker-level out-put) - it sounds Alright.

The things we talk about have changed here at the Klipsch Forum...

I try to spend more time listening to music (and playing music) than I do online.

Crown Lands - Odyssey Volume 1 Url: https://www.discogs.com/release/24228722-Crown-Lands-Odyssey-Volume-1 Shared from the Discogs App

@dirtmudd "unsimulated" ?? We'll, aren't they special. Can't they just say real like normal folks do? That Alman Brothers LP looked like it had been on a special table saw. What gives?

My favorite Roger Waters solo album

First press sterling or quadraphonic press ?

Time for side 3&4

So yeah...kind of busy this morning.

19 years, 11,000+ posts. Hopefully I’ve helped some along the way.

The specification sheet that AaronB123 is looking at is for a behind the screen cinema system in an auditorium with a size that is approximately 5,000 ft2 or 465 m2 that will seat up to 350 people.

Nice post, you seem very self-aware. Interesting though, in that buying audio gear just might be somewhat similar to navigating a long-term relationship as this is very similar to what I talk with the kids about regarding long-term relationships and marriage. To learn a lot about themselves including what they like, and to think hard about the compromises that they are willing to make and accept. Understand the life issues they are willing to negotiate and those that are non-negotiable because there will be compromises and the "cost" can be high. Today he may think that "she knows me so well that she can finish my sentences," while tomorrow it can easily become, " ***** quit interrupting while I'm talking."

I was on a quick "archeological dig" through the forum and it appears that I may have stumbled across Klipschorn No. 14. Interesting information provided by Trey and ZAKO (may he RIP). I had not seen interior louvered shutters on a Klipschorn until now. The serial number tag indicating Klipschorn Speaker No. 14. Woofer and woofer motor board tag information I wonder what the ESR measures are for those capacitors?

I can't believe it has been five years now; however, at the link below, there is a nice thread titled "I finally got around to triamping my K-horns" that was started by Greg Oshiro back on December 9, 2011.

I remembered reading the quote above that your KHorn loudspeakers have the Elliptrac midrange horns and ALK extreme slope crossovers. If this is still the case, since the Elliptrac has a 2 inch entry, I believe that the JBL 2441 would be a better match in a 3-way system. Without some type of high frequency boost, and as garyrc alluded to with the 375's, and can be visualized in the JBL 2441 response curve below, the JBL 2441 tends to roll off above 8 KHz and is essentially done by 11 or 12 KHz. JBL 2441 coupled to a JBL 2350 radial horn response curve B&C DE750 coupled to a B&C ME 75 "constant directivity" horn response curve An important aspect to keep in mind is that the horn has a lot to do with the frequency response curve of a compression driver. If measurements are provided, they tend to be a compression driver on a specific horn from that company. Although the same compression driver might be used, a different type of horn could give a significantly different frequency response curve. One problem that I have is that it is becoming very difficult to find compression driver frequency response curves measured on a plane-wave tube, for which I find that plane-wave tube response curves can be helpful, when comparing what compression drivers can actually do, without actually owning the compression drivers and having your own test equipment. From the respective spec sheets (excerpted below), the JBL 2441 16 ohm driver handles 70 watts continuous program at 500 Hz (also note that 500 Hz is the recommended low-end crossover point for a pro application), 12 dB/octave slope with no problem at all; and looks to be about 2.5 to 3 dB hotter when coupled to a JBL 2350 radial Horn vs the B&C DE750 8 ohm driver coupled to a B&C ME 75 "constant directivity" horn (gleaned from the respective rated sensitivities). In all actuality, in a home environment, each of these compression drivers should not have a difficult time crossing over in a KHorn at 400 Hz on an appropriate horn. One reason why I suggest using the JBL 2441 in a 3-way KHorn system, is that I have a much better understanding of the aftermarket tractrix horns being used (direct experience with both the 1 inch and 2 inch ALK Trachorns that were made by Martinelli, Greg Roberts 2 inch tractrix horn, and a pair of Fastlane Audio 2 inch Elliptrac horns I picked up on the secondary market), whereas it tends to be difficult for me to speculate how the specifications for each driver measured on different horns translate to your EAW 2 inch horns (I don’t know the EAW horn model number to see if there are even any horn specs out there), especially, if you don’t have the ability to add a little boost at the high frequency range. At least the ALK extreme slope crossovers provide for midrange attenuation, if necessary; and the JBL 2441 performs very nice in the 400 Hz through 6,000 Hz KHorn midrange band. Specs for JBL 2441 on left and B&C DE750 on right.. Overall, I view the JBL 2441 as a very nice compression driver if there is life remaining in the aluminum diaphragm and the Alnico magnet is still magnetized. Also, I find that there is still a very large contingency of people that will choose aluminum diaphragms over titanium diaphragms for the home environment. In addition, I believe that you can still find a fairly large contingency of people that “just say no” to ceramic magnets , and believe that there is nothing better in sound reproduction than “flux density” in a compression driver (or woofer driver for that matter) being modulated by an Alnico magnet structure using a signal coming from a tube amplifier. While I currently have my Klipschorn loudspeakers set up with TAD TD-4001 2 inch throat exit compression drivers with the Alnico magnets and Beryllium diaphragms coupled to a pair of the Greg Roberts 2 inch entry tractrix horns (along with TAD ET-703 tweeters), I have used several of the JBL 2 inch throat exit compression drivers, including the Alnico magnet JBL 2440 and the Alnico magnet JBL 2482 in different top hat combinations. Tweeters used with these mid-drivers were the EV T350 model (much better performance, but still retains some of the old K77V flavor) where my crossover points were at 400 Hz and 6,000 Hz when using the JBL 2440, then crossover points of 300 Hz and 4,000 Hz when using the JBL 2482. Note that all three JBL drivers have Alnico magnets; however, the JBL 2482 has a phenolic diaphragm while the JBL 2440 and JBL 2441 have aluminum diaphragms. FWIW, at that point in time when I was experimenting with JBL 2 inch throat exit compression drivers, similar to my reason for selecting the EV T350 tweeters in respect to the K77V, I selected the phenolic diaphragm JBL 2482 since I wanted to experiment with the 300 Hz crossover point and the K55V used phenolic diaphragms.

And you won't find it on Amazon <g>. I am familiar with the pediree of this release and it is a top notch piece. If you can hang in there getting it, it is well worth the time spent.

Its at the top of my NetFlix Que and should have already been shipped but has a small delay tagged to it.....who says they don't throttle <g>

It does take a little bit to setup (in that you also need to download "Lame" to do the MP3 encoding, which is also free), but once you do get it setup, it works quite nicely in both ripping and burning CD's However, it does not play anything, though. For that, I use good'ol Winamp. Been using it for many years, and still find it to be my prefered player. Tried many of the others, but always found myself returning back to the tried-n-true in Winamp. ---------------- Does EAC still burn just in TAO mode? Thats kinda a downer for me as I prefer DAO. Maybe if you are just doing regular cds it isnt a problem, but if you use it to burn DTS cds then every time the track changes your receiver has to lock on the DTS stream again. However, for the purpose it was intended for it cant be beat. I do find myself doing more actual recording than ripping to get past both the DC offset inherent in ripping and to give myself some headroom breathing space because of the massive amounts of compression most recording engineers today seem to love to use.

thanks bra, all I am worried about now is my sub. I cant test it cause no computers are working yet. This is just sucky, as soon as I get it all stable as hell this bs happens. Hopefully I wont start to see the results of salt water on the stuff I was able to save.

Bob, If you will listen closely to those lower bitrate mp3s you will hear artifacts like jangly cymbals. They just dont have the clarity of the higher bitrate encodes. the more you compress with a lossy encoder, the more info that is thrown away never to be retreived again. @Steeler---some of your questions have been answered, but to manually decode from mp3 to wav is very easy http://www.dbpoweramp.com/dmc.htm get that and install it. Then you can right click on an mp3 file and there is a context menu to convert---convert to wav 44.1 Mhz / 16 bit and it will be cd ready Its easier to have all the mp3s you are going to convert in one directory. Doing it this way takes a load off of your CPU whilst it is burning.

This is what I am looking at ......My initial reason was to clean this rat hole up some. Four PCs in full towers take up alot of desk and floor space, not counting the cabling thats involved. I can get a rack that works with it and stack those puppies. I also thought after I read this post that it may not be too bad as a HTPC case as long as you aren't water-cooling or anything esoteric like that <g>. http://www.chenbro.com.tw/product/product.jsp?p=3&s=303&pid=24 May have to put some rubber feet on it if you use it as a stand-alone

Go here, this is a great place for that type of info. I usually transcode to dts, which has some degradation of quality I know. http://www.dtsac3.com

Funny how we can get attached to fine precisiom machinery. I felt the same way about my SA 38 super. My ex insisted I get rid of it--damn I miss that firearm.
