  1. Chances are he is totally toast. NFL Knee combacks are very rare (with the Browns they are) and then there is the chance of infection. JJK
  2. I stand by what I said. Your IRS statement is totally computer generated gobblediggook to promote the authors agenda. JJK
  3. Dean/Crites: It would be nice to have serial number engraved tags for your networks like the new ones offerred by Klipsch. JJK
  4. The entire top section of my 1965 factory decorators are constructed with 1/2" plywood. JJK
  5. Browns. Tony Roma will drop back to pass and see so many receivers open he will get confused and then be sacked. Don't know how long this tactic will work. JJK
  6. I just painted the bass horn sides black instead of all that stuff. Then I imagine that there is grill cloth but it's invisable. JJK
  7. Some of the people doing film restorations for them are doing awful work technically. Washed out colors, missing sections, excessive contrast, etc. JJK
  8. At the company I used to work at we had a conventional water sofening system for feeding water to a low pressure boiler. Used 2 to 3 pallets of 50 lb. bags of salt until we got a new technology softener then we only used 3 bags per year operating 24/7. JJK
  9. Almost any mathematical computation of figures can be manipulated and professionally interpretated for a political agenda. For instance: The inflation index minus food and fuel? Give me a break. JJK
  10. I would replace the networks with Crites or Dean or even the latest factory networks as a start. The top section of the speaker (mid range and tweeter) has to have the top and side wood pieces added. The bottom section has to have the side pieces added for fastrening the grill cloth. If your not a wood workin man this could be hairy. Many ways to go with laminating and finishing. JJK
  11. I would marvel at how much time my patternmaker would spend aligning equipment to make straight cuts. I would have the whole project sloppily done before he finished the alignments. And it would look like hell. And he would laugh and tell me to get the hell out of his shop. JJK
  12. In my geographic area I queried a state worker cutting and poisening vines in our woods about water and polution and he said all of the polutants collect at about a 1" layer about 12 ft. down (they have a special name for it) and that they don't know how much longer the layer will hold up. This was about 30 years ago. He said the layer contained just about everything you could think off. The well water 250 ft. down however was still pristene. JJK
  13. I did a test in 1969 with my Ampex tape deck and Shure 360 degree cardoid mics (50 to 15Khz) set 3 ft in front of each K-horn with powered Cornwall center channel recording a family gathering in an "L" shaped living room. Typical party with music playing etc. When I played it back (at approximately the same volume) I couldn't believe how accurately placed everything was and how the depth and brillance of the sound surrounded you no matter where you were standing in the room . During the recording the phone rang and was answered. During the playback the phone rang again and everyone went to answer the phone and when picked up there was a dial tone. All these people were standing in different positions in the room and all of them heard the phone ringing from it's physical location. They then realized it was a recording. The phasing was absolutely perfect and during the playback you could position yourself anywhere in the living room and the physical position of the person speaking was dead on the money. There was an increase in the clarity and decrease in the distortion that I cannot describe. I have always thought that a special phasing test recording of all frequencies could be recorded and then programmed into the pre-amp or amplifier to adjust the "phasing spectrum" of that room relative to speaker placement. Somebody really smart could do this "maybe" and adapt it to all inputed music. While accuracy is important there are other criteria involved to make the sound experience more accurate. JJK
  14. That kind of looks like Steppinwolf. JJK
  15. Although I live in a relatively calm area I just got to wondering if there is a way to construct a home that will hold up to a cat 5 huricane? I have also heard that the insurance companies have $30,000.00 deductables in those areas affected? JJK
  16. Noticed that some newer commercial CD's my volume is set around 15.5 for 98 SPL. Some older commercial CD's are at 5.5 on the dial to get 98 SPL. CD's burned by Nero require the volume to be somehwere around 23.5 for 98 SPL. The Nero CD's seem to be a bit rough on some tracks but not all. If they keep boosting the levels I won't need an amplifier. JJK
  17. I believe some people on the AVS forum have tried this double antenna hookup through reverse splitters. JJK
  18. Maybe someone can explain why the new technology drivers are better in the greatest detail. JJK
  19. Don Richard: Ditto. I had an album by the "Judds", and an identical CD and A/B'd them to death and found that the drum cymbals on the record were dull and muffled compared to the CD. The lack of all noise on the CD would probably get some people being agitated and uncomfortable while desparately trying to listen for some tiny bit of noise, something I gave up after switching from vinyl to CDs. This did allow for a greater spectrum of listening for other more musical related stuff instead of rumble, wooooooow, flutter, hum, ham radio interference, floor vibration, speaker vibration, inaudible low frequency woofer excursion, pops, scratches, record surface noise, and mechanical tracking distortion due to huge velocities in the tracks that only $4000.00 cartriges could navigate. JJK
  20. I use the DC9000 from MCM Electronics for about 90 dollars and they ship via UPS. It has 96 elements and very big. UHF/VHFalthough you won't need the VHF theorectically. Two local networks are using channels 2 and 10 for HD at the present time. JJK
  21. All we need now is technology to repair our very old and diminished hearing skills, mine being cutoff at 12khz. And how do we know if our ears themselves are not causing distortions? JJK
  22. There ain't nothin like a rock, a Rolling Rock? JJK
  23. The best HT projector I ever saw was my friend's in his basement with two 35 mm projectors and one 16mm projector, all with Cinemascope lenses that he bought at auction from the local movie theatre. He also had some of the seats plus a ton of 35mm cans of older discarded movies. Many cans per movie which if you have physical problems you have to hire somebody to pick them up. The 35mm scope lens you would not want to drop on your footsie. JJK
  24. The very low and inconsistant quality of vinyl is why CD's were invented. JJK
  25. I don't know of any stores that let you open the package first before purchasing. I imagine you would have to go through about 50 records to get one without some kind of defect. As I recall about 75% of the records I purchased had some kind of defect, warped, hole off center, hole on center but groves off center, pops, crackles, noisy, low bass levels, reduced highs, distortion in high velocity areas, hole not big enough, label off center, improper gapping between songs, terrible transient response when compared to the same album released on CD, and excessive very low frequency flutter.
