so, who's gonna step it up and offer to send k-horns around the country?

that would be quite a large and valuable board. don't his extreme slope networks go for around a grand? i don't think i'd trust the likes of ups and fedex shipping that thing around multiple times...

dean, i'm definitely interested in the trial. sent you an e-mail. thanks.

i guess i could use one of the inductors to balance out the legs of this table

well, that's rather unfortunate

I definitely plan on upgrading my crossovers in the near future, but i'd like to experiment a bit to get an idea of how bad my networks really are. I realize my caps are probably all off spec, but seeing as how the general concensus is the type al's are quite possibly the worst networks ever, i don't see how "tampering" with them a bit could hurt. i did some searching and didn't come up with much info. i saw a few posters alluding to the idea that it is indeed possible (perhaps values will be slightly off) to convert AL to A without any further purchases. anyone have more info on this? thank you.

nice ram

you guys REALLY make the AL seem terrible! []

what was the total cost for parts?

i've still got stock ALs in my scalas

perhaps if they integrated some kind of "theme" system so people can choose between the new and old style? i'm sure the old was programmed completely different, but it can't be TOO hard to make the new one look like it somewhat.

nothing wrong with using your pc as a source. i use my pc as a source for my la scalas, and i won't be going analog any time soon. that's last on my list. i still need to get a tube preamp (probably merlin... cheapest worthwhile one i can find), crossovers redone, finish room treatments, and finally an external dac.

well that's odd.. every post was light gray, and now they've turned copper after a simple refresh. oh well

looks clean and professional, but i'm having a very hard time reading the light gray font color on the white background

i build risers as well. 6 inches and 3/4". well worth it.

edit: double D:

i understood him perfectly fine. no need to be a jerk. congrats on finding a setup you're content with. should be in for a treat when dean's crossovers arrive. they seem to be quite the "upgrade" !
