    Better bike

    Not the fastest that I've ever been in a bicycle, but the fastest that I can actually document.

    Jokes?

    ... and two rows of teeth.
  6. From the schematic, it appears that the center channel is derived from secondary of the output transformer. So the volume control will also affect the center channel.
  7. In theory, it can: https://community.klipsch.com/index.php?/topic/226972-driving-your-speakers-with-more-power-than-they-need/&do=findComment&comment=2847532 Whether that effect is audible is open to debate.
  8. The DX-38 probably uses the same shelf filter algorithms that I programmed into the EV products during my tenure there in the late 1990s. They, in turn, were based upon an old Dynacord design that I inherited. The others may (I'm not certain) be based upon the RB-J Cookbook, which is quite different. https://shepazu.github.io/Audio-EQ-Cookbook/audio-eq-cookbook.html The attached graphic shows the EV response for several shelf filters with design frequency of 1 kHz, labeled "2nd order Digital". It also shows similar filters using the RB-J method, with design frequency of 1 rad/sec, labeled "2nd order RB-J". (The idea is that the filter can be shifted to any frequency desired.) Note that the EV filters are -3dB at the design frequency, while the RB-J filters are "half of total attenuation" at the design frequency.
  9. Yes, indeed. There was a period there when it seemed like one per week. Rest in peace, my friends whom I never met. High fidelity audio seems to be (with apologies to the few woman audiophiles out there) an old man's game. And old men don't last forever.
  10. I thought that I was a old-timer, at eighteen years on the Forum. I joined in June, 2006, at which time my business was collapsing so I was fighting constantly with my business partner, I was dead-broke, and my relationship with my SO at the time was on the rocks. I got better.
  11. Understood. If you ever get the opportunity, please post your results. I've been frustrated by measured parameters that disagree with published parameters by significant amounts.
  12. Can you measure T/S parameters? I'm curious as to how well they agree with Eminence's claimed specs.
  13. The abbreviation for titanium is "Ti".
  14. It used to be that one could build things more cheaply than buying them. Modern economies of scale have pretty much ended that. For example, I'm currently building a set of speakers that roughly compare to the Klipsch Chorus, in terms of components. Because I have to purchase them at retail prices, the cost of components is a significant fraction the price of the Chorus itself. In other words, I'm not really saving much by building them myself. However, what I end up with is mine, both in design and in execution.
  15. It just shows that something can measure poorly but still sound pleasing. I used "pleasing" intentionally, to emphasize subjectivity. @The Dude, ASR is Audio Science Review.
