Travis In Austin

What was the projected time of phase in for having to purchase an AV or face having to pay high price for license? Travis

It's going to be close. Dave may hit it right on the dot, 2019, it mat be 2020 before public can get them. It appears that the first approved and licensed truly AV will be by GM "General Motors is looking to reinvent the wheel, by building a car without a steering wheel, pedals or gear selector, because it doesn’t need them.The automaker on Friday revealed images of an autonomous car it’s hoping to put into production by 2019 and is petitioning the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration for permission to do so.If approved, it will likely be the first production vehicle of its kind to hit the road, two years before a similar proposal from Ford.Based on the Chevy Bolt, the electric Cruise AV will initially be employed in a ride-hailing capacity and operate within a pre-determined, well-mapped ‘geo-fenced’ area, so it won’t be entirely off the leash."

Nice seeing you in here @bhendrix

I thought I was pretty explicit. Let me be more clear. You have done a wonderful job in trying to educate people here that when you get to a certain level of system the quality of the recording becomes more and more important. Stated another way, many, many people here have stated they didn't realize how bad a recording was until they heard them on speaker X. Some, you will recall @Chris A , initially thought their new speakers had a problem, or were sounding bad. I recall on more than one occassion you making inquiry about what recordings someone was using, or suggesting it could be part of the problem, and people remarking later it was a particular recording that threw them off.

I think you are over analyzing it. To some people tube amps sound better than solid state. To some people SET amps sound better than push-pull. The amount of negative feedback, or any at all, make a difference to some people in how things sound. If something sounds better to your ears that is the ultimate test. Are you happy with it. Some are never happy (satisfied) and keep swithiching out gear, and that's cool too. Here is another thing that Chris has been instrumental in educating Pepole about. Once you get to a certain level of audio reproduction, the source becomes more and more critical. This is more in 2 channel than HT, but is true of 5.1 Sacd and DVD-A: Technology can go too far in making things smaller, lighter or more convenient. Things like compression of audio files (MP3) streaming, etc. Music can become over-processed in the recording, mixing and mastering stages. You are seeing a major swing right now in music delivery industry segments developing much higher requirements and standrds for digital music files, video uploading. HIgh rez downloads are increasing, and hi rez streaming is on a major rise.

Thank you, now even I can almost understand it.

I'm going to mount them under a couple of flat mounted ones that are just using built in speakers currently.

I took a class on being a psychic over Christmas break. For $500 I will locate the culprits and get you your money back. Payable up front, no refunds, results are not guaranteed. We only accept wire transfers.

I was wondering because I have seen you and MikeTN talk in very technical terms that a particular model of I think they talk about this a lot in the type amp and as amp sectioons as well.

I was wondering because I have seen you and MikeTN talk in very technical terms that a particular model of speakers might not sound as good with a particular tube amp topology and the common factor in these discussions seems to be impedience. While it make one type of amp work harder than another, is it more likely to be an audible difference?

Yeah, @dBspl Kerry, how about it?

I think Kerry said.it was passive in the video. I thing that mounting system for flat mounted tv applications is outstanding. Nice job @dBspl

@Chris A But the basic topology of an amp can work better for a particular set of speakers because of the speakers have a demanding or unusual impedience curve?

Has your cashier's check bounced yet?

I would like to hear those. Have you heard them?

Most speakers are voiced to some, not.so much an issue with subs. But Mixing fronts with L and R can cause an EQ mismatch. In a movie not as.big a deal because about 80%.comes.from center. Distortion. Can be different between them, and you could end up with more IM distortion in order to volume match and this would result in unpleasing and fatigue.

Nice save Chief.

I know one too, my Uncle Ken, an EE from A & M. Before he retired he ran (at the time) the largest open-pit coal mine in the US for Texas Utilities at Martin Lake (outside Carthage in east Texas) which included keeping a dragline and electric railroad operational. He teaches pottery at the Art Center in Rockport.

How big of a room we working with here? Photos?

If you want a Sub you need to get an 1802 or 1502.

You are in LUCK! That question was just answered today as a matter of fact. https://youtu.be/W0sHToKXxWY

Thank you, that was the one. I gave up after an hour of searching.

And there is no better person than @JRH to review your work, give guidance and help spot any errors. His forte is the company and products when Paul owned the company, but he continued to be the company Historian until he retired a year ago. Please be prepared, a lot of valuable digital information was lost when they made a change of some sort and so some things are lost forever. However, he has personal knowledge of many, many products either because he was directly involved in the development and engineering, or he was in charge of the people who were. I suggested a post in Museum section,, Ask The Historian, because that is really the only area he visits on here.

If you all start a thread in the Museum Section with your Starr on a spreadsheet I am sure The Historian @JRH would offer some guidance here and there as his limited time allows. Great project by the way. Travis

Mix in what sense? Give me an example? Edit: I meant a hypothetical.
