So they only had 2 tracks at the beginning of their recording careers. And yet the musical genius cannot be denied. And I don't care what thebes says.

Me too. Their influence on me cannot be denied.

Maybe thebes and nitrofan are one in the same🖖

Solid conductor wire is less flexible than stranded conductor wire. Just sayin'

Ya, me too, but it took ten years to convince people that new capacitors make a difference - I don't think this crowd is quite ready for the resistor thing yet.
You go Dean!

The Beatles sound horrible on any speaker I've ever heard them on.
Not a fan huh?

In addition to tone-controls when listening to the Beatles I find myself often using the mono switch on my integrated amp as well. I find the mixing on some songs whereby all of the guitar comes from one speaker and all of the vocal from the other to be incredibly irritating. And certainly not at all lifelike.
+10. What was George Martin thinking/doing? The fact that some parts are on the left and some on the right means they had more than a 1 track tape recorder. So did there mixing desk not have a pan pot? Or what? I use the pan pots on my mixer to bring some of the left over to the right and vice versa when listening to these Beatle's tracks.

I showed my wife your comment with the picture. She thought that was hilarious...as I did too!
I too took lots of pictures while building and there always seemed like there was something in the picture that didn't belong

-20 to +20, what's 40 db amongst friends

I was just going to say something similar. The limiters are to protect power amps and speakers in commercial installations. The limiter says nothing over value X is getting through. This protects the amps and speakers from someone getting way to happy with the main output fader. Consequently it "clips" any signals over that X value. This could sound quite harsh and may account for the artifacts you are hearing.
-
I think your front panel display will start acting more like everyone else's when you adjust the limiters. There is a vague reference in the Xilica documentation that the display is referenced to the limiter threshold. To wit:
5. Peak Level LED – Indicates the current peak level of the Signal:
Signal, -12dB, -6dB, -3dB, Over/Limit. The Input Limit LED references to
the device's maximum headroom. The Output Limit LED references to
the threshold of the output limiter. -

, is that it has gotten overall quite a bit quieter with the last two files.
Yes limiters will do that

It will not start to reduce until you light up the red LED's, then it will start the reduction of whatever your settings are.
I don't think so. The threshold of the compressors/limiters are adjustable.

I'll bet it was. I've always liked Mr. Beck. Glad you guys got together and had a good time.

@rplace I got my old preamp hooked up and working this evening. My Xilica does not show any gain reduction.

Back to our regularly scheduled program.... Does anybody with a Xilica see gain reduction on the meter display even though you don't think you've set up any compressors/limiters?

Looks like his is baltic birch or some good ply. And walnut veneer to boot.

I'm sorry @rplace I'm just not there yet. Truthfully it will have to wait until fall or winter for me. There are just too many chores during summer here on the rancho.
