  1. My parents got together the 5th timer after being disappointed in their last 4 attempts and made a living a perfect being while vacationing on the planet Pluto.  I become aware immediately and decided to stay here,  Cheers.  FYI, they enjoy music too, so I enjoy R&B from the late 50s, 60s and 70s.  Who Don't?  (never been to school)..  

  2. Ok, here is the test, just listen to the music, its.... ok......  sure that person is young and very talented.  But its like comparing tyke hockey to the NHL, sure its fun and all cute, but I ain't gonna listen to it.

  3. I like iIcky Lee Jones.  Enjoy the show.  Two weeks ago  I was with the wife getting a bite to eat and I noticed a concert Prevost bus parked on a side street. I checked out the local theatre and it was Leon Russell, so I was able to get two tickets.  The dude is great, the record business has changed greatly.  Now a days you need to break out on some reality TV show.

  4. I would love to walk into a perfectly treated room someday and ruin it all with a handful of junk resistors and some crappy electrolytics.

    We should be to the point by now where we can agree that ALL elements in the reproduction chain are critical to great sound. This includes room treatments and proper placement as well as the use of high quality parts in the gear and networks we use.

    I don't mind selling 3670s along with some hook up instructions to someone who understands how to scale the parts, etc., but I really don't like selling them to people who expect me to write a tutorial for them after the sale.

    I'm also really happy with the new UT 2564 2.5mH inductor -- it's a beast. I never thought I would see the day where I would be using an iron core, but it's such a well made unit. The Erse Super Q is certainly still a good a part, but it loses something with no varnish or wax to secure/bind the windings.

    Speaking of wax, I spent some time today speaking with "Chris" of Jupiter Condensing Co., and found out that the round replacement for the Flat Stack(s) should be out this fall. Along with the obvious change from flat to round, they are also moving to 18 AWG tin coated copper leads, a welcome change to anyone who has has any experience working with the extremely delicate 20 AWG silver. This new line has been specifically designed with loudspeaker crossovers in mind, while the copper foil being reserved for electronics. However, the copper foil values do go high enough for crossover use, but I have no idea who could afford them!

    It's interesting comparing the Jupiters to the Jensens. They sound different, but both are so clean, open and balanced that it's just not possible for me to have a clear preference. So, I've decided to build myself some Jensen PIO AAs after I get caught up.

     

     

    DeanG, please take it easy, no one is questioning your work or anything about you.  I was just suggesting to the original poster there could be other possible considerations to consider.  Think that is not out of align with the concept of this forum.  Opinions are like rectums, everyone as one, some just smell more than others.  Life is all good, cause what is the alternative.  Cheers.

  5. Well, ok if this is a Drive In Theater and they are sending sound to parked cars as in your truck via those mounted metal speakers you attach to your semi rolled down windows? or are they sending the sound through a low powered FM station? 

     

    I am not aware that FM support multi channel.. sure as sh_t those stupid mountable speakers could not do it.   An FM broadcast could sound good in the cab of a well equipped F150, but I think the hopes of surround sound are faint at best given my limited understanding, not that a cab of a pick up is the ideal environment for serious surround sound movie environment.  I would say if you are worried about the "Theater Quality" sound in a Drive In, well.... you're doing it wrong or invited the wrong women.
