  1. I think Michael might have an idea. Look at it backwards. Whats the voltage spec. requirement of the motor/turntable and provide a solution. Maybe you can go with out eddy current elimination.

    Might just be a real stable 12v dc which I suspect you can makeup for a whole lot less than a thou.

  2. Question. How can a Khorn with passive crossovers sound great yet the only way an active Khorn system can sound great is by delaying drivers? You can't have it both ways. I'm with PWK on this one. I bet you can't hear the difference in time. I've experimented with it both ways.

    Let your own ears tell you how much money to spend and what to buy in crossovers. You might decide that $100 Behringer crossovers sound as good as some $1500.00 ones. Why pay extra if you can't hear it?

    The greatest think about actives is changing the crossovers on the fly. That and having access to steep slopes which help isolate the different drivers. If you like the sound of a good horn, don't screw it up with a weak 1st order slope that can allow your woofer to join in on the singing.

    These are just my personal thoughts on these topics, enjoy.[:D]

  3. Its more than probation. Read the terms below. He is not allowed to play in reg. season games.

    Terms of Vick's reinstatement:


    -- Can participate in preseason practices,
    workouts, meetings, and play in the final two preseason games. In the
    regular season, he may participate in all team activities other than
    games.
    -- Must work with Tony Dungy, who will serve as Vick's advisor and mentor.


    Conditions that Vick must abide by in order to be reinstated fully:


    --Must abide by the terms of his parole.
    --Cannot commit any further crime.
    --Must limit whom he associates with.
    --Cannot use drugs or alcohol.
    --Cannot possess a firearm or other dangerous weapon.
    --Cannot own, possess, or be involved with the sale of any dog.


    Vick must also abide by the written plan that he submitted to Goodell, which contained the following:


    -- His proposed living arrangements.
    -- How he will manage his financial affairs.
    -- Counseling and mentoring plans.
    -- His proposed work with the Humane Society and other groups


    What Goodell's decision on full reinstatement will be based on:


    -- Reports from outside professionals, Vick's probation officer, and others charged with supervising his activities.
    -- The quality of Vick's work outside football.
    -- The absence of any further adverse involvement in law enforcement.
    -- Other concrete actions that Vick takes that are consistent with his representations to Goodell.


    Call it what you will but as it stands right now Vick cannot play in reg. season games. Thats what counts in the NFL. The commisioner could fully reinstate Vick at anytime but this is the present situation. Until you can play you are a liability to the team no matter what your talent level.

  4. What bass horn/squawker combo made up the VOTT? I have two 816a bass horns that produce good bass at or below 50hz based on tone generation, not even to mention 70. It may be that these were not even part of the VOTT, I don't really know. Maybe my bass extention is driver related?

    As far as Khorns vs Altecs in the bass dept: It seems that some folks are gonna require a subwoofer no matter what speakers they have.

  5. Russ touched on some interesting points. I will take it a little further. You can creat something thats a combination of both worlds. Right now I'm running active crossovers to tube and SS amps. I'm using SET amps to the upper mid and tweeter range horns and SS to short bass horns. I'm really into this type system right now. I have power on the low stuff and I have the SET voicing I'm after on anything above 4 or 500hz. You see 5 watts into a 110db 2" compression driver can just about take a persons head off. On the bottom end though it takes some real power to push enough air to match with those low freqs. Instead of money, I have used time and creativity to assemble what I think is an awesome sound system.

  6. It seems the longer I listen the less I care about specs. and the more I care about what I hear. I really like the voicing of SET type tube amps and horns. Not the answer if your wanting to knock the foundation out from under your house watt wise. I suggest listening to many different amps/speakers/etc.. Find what you really like the sound of and be less concerned with printed paper.

  7. Naw, we cannot get rid of Joe now, that just won't work. You see I live vicariously through Joe's purchases and have learned so much on his dime. Lets face it, Joe is our resident expert of many audio combinations. He is only limited by his own imagination. He once had an awkward audio moment just to see what it felt like. He could be the most interesting audiophile in the world. [H]

  8. A lady nearby bought a Harley recently. She had a friend deliver her to the bike (her first) and she proceeded to ride it home. It was her first ride as a new Harley owner. Just a few miles down the road and a sharp turn was all it took for her to ride right into oncoming traffic. She never recovered. Please be careful. Take the class. DO NOT RIDE THAT BIKE WEARING GYM SHORTS AND FLIPFLOPS!

  9. I bought a video card off Ebay. Seems to work fine. Running dxdiag indicates the ram is twice whats supposed to be on it. Says there is 1gb when it should be 512mb. I suspect that is the video card driver telling tales. Is there a way to probe the card with XP and see the "actual" ram on the card? Hard to imagine I got a 1gb card instead of the 512mb version. How can I tell?

  10. You may have something there Prof. Thump. I notice there is pot accessible from the battery compartment just under the mic thats labeled "adj". Maybe I could give it a 1/4 turn clockwise increasing that fwd bias enough to keep the mic working. This unit will do siren, fog, and voice. The siren and fog functions work great consistently. I have not changed the batteries since buying.

  11. Yeah, I have it down to a science now. Simply touch a 9v battery to the Mics contacts and the thing works great until the next morning. That gives my 5yr old plenty of time to act like extreme home makeover's Ty Pennington. I suspect it has to do with the mic's magnetic properties but I don't know.

  12. Technically its not sealed though. Why would you not drink it? If your dad thought half of it had already evaporated what would he have done? Crack it open, pour about 2oz in a small glass and slowly sip it with side 2 of "Call Me" playing on the hifi. [;)] Then report back here how it was the smoothest to ever touch your lips.

  13. There you go. I think you'll enjoy that one.

    What happened to the guy that sold you those 300b monoblocks? I don't think he has posted since you had the meltdown.
