  1. We just left Symantec at the college where I work. It was too great a resource hog, an their supoort was terrible. We are still in the process of deploying the new av software to all the computers on campus.We switched to Kaspersky Labs. Yup, it is a Russian company.
  2. I guess that is why folks have been able to install OSX on a Dell Latitude D820 and have all the hardware work without any patches to the OS. Although we are rotating them out due to performance issues (far too slow), we still have some Dell Dimension XPS T500 computers in use constantly (500Mhz) running Win2K. The newer desktops have worked out just as well. You get a lemon every once in awhile, but they are usually pretty solid. It is essential that you don't get the smaller footprint boxes, because they tend to use laptop drives (CD/DVD, and HD), which CAN be problematic when replacing. ButI think that 7 or 8 years is a long service life for a computer. You just have to remember that the great thing about standards is that there are so many of them.
  3. From reading all your other posts, I was really surprised to read this from you mas. I would have thought that you, of all the folks here, would really know where the fuzz is coming from. Just send me a pm and I would be happy to give you the info.
  4. On the LS it is still an improvement without the EQ. It is misleading in what way? The mod causes a small loss in efficiency over the horn only cabinet.
  5. What is the volume taken up by the woofer, mid horn/driver and tweeter? You need to subtract that from the volume of the cabinet. A Tangent 400 has cabinet volume of around 3.38 cu ft, before subtracting the driver volume. You could make a pseudo belle cabinet with the ports on the front. It would still come out smaller than a full sized belle. And get way more bass. Bruce btw, those cabinets are beautiful looking. I am not wanting to take anything away from that...
  6. Those are being sold by kudret, a forum member. A very nice pair of Khorns. Bruce
  7. Yes, you do. A 5.1 system would have three speakers in front and two in the rear. The ".1" is the sub. A 7.1 system adds left and right side speakers, for seven speakers and the sub (it being a speaker, too. Just don't want to confuse anyone). Bruce
  8. Have any of you guys been to Dizzy's in San Diego? My good friend Chuck Perrin runs it. He's temporarily relocated due to the city wanting some renovations on the building he is in, but it is still going. Bruce http://dizzyssandiego.com/
  9. This is the main way djk does the bass mod to a full size LaScala. Open the doghouse into the top and seal the back. With added ports the response is -3db at 31Hz. Bruce
  10. How did you get the ramps in the top section? Just curious... Bruce
  11. Marshall, I think the problem with the Tangents is that there were a lot of different models. I believe that the 400 is the only one that uses the same parts as a Heresy II. The firend of mine who has a pair of Tangent 400s says they are just wonderful... but they are mdf (I have yet to go hear them). I thought about upgrading my HIIs to the HIII series. That would leave me with almost all the parts to build a set of Tangent 400 cabinets. Sounds like a winner to me. You could easily build a cab of the correct volume that would be short enough for your situation. Bruce
  12. When I got my LS, they were outfitted with the orginal AL crossovers. I didn't like them at all. John Albright loaned me a pair of ALKs to try out until I could purchased or build my own. (I still have them... and need to return them) I ended up building a pair of DHA2 constant impedance crossovers that John had designed. The difference was absolutely stunning. They don't look the prettiest, but they work just fine. Being constant impedance really helps with my lower powered SET amps. Bruce
  13. Tom, is that your Emilar horn in the avatar? LS don't screech when you under power them with SETs like I do. [*-)]
  14. If you drop a banjo and an accordian off the Empire State building at the same time, which one will hit the ground first? Answer is: Who cares!
  15. ....like...how do you get two piccolo player to play in tune? .... shoot one of them.
  16. I wouldn't rule out a set of Chorus IIs, either. Great speaker, imho. I had a pair at the house temporarily, and they were great. I love my LaScalas, but the Choruses were pretty awesome. Would work very well on rock music. You just need to get with some folks that have some of these different models and give a listen. Bruce
  17. Erik Forker's site for the 10" version is great. These will almost surely need a sub to go with them... but the again... you may like them tis way. A way cool build. I like 'em. Erik has a bunch of Bruce Edgar stuff on his downloads page. Bruce
  18. Peter, I had some JBLs that also got a whitish powder on the rubber surrounds, but it never caused a difference in the sound. I just left it alone. If you put any pressure on the surround, it might cause the hum to be more apparent, as the cone will be moving ever so slightly out of its normal resting place. Perhaps Michael will talk to one of the engineers and come up with some ideas about it. Bruce
  19. I think the Godins are highly underrated... but if you want a Strat, you go ahead and get a Strat. []
  20. synthfreak, What power tubes are you using? Do you mean what brand? I would be interested in some KT-88s, but also could see rolling in some 6L6 just for grins. Bruce
  21. I'm still interested in these myself. They are designed in the Netherlands, and manufactured in China. Bruce
  22. This from a Rutgers Guy .................... watch this change the tone ............... Any pictures to share with fellow Forum Buddies ??? none your age ob Perfect! [Y]
  23. Forgot to say that I picked it up for $300. The neck is really good, and the intonation is excellent.
  24. Thebes, Ben, Dukester, I don't know about any of that, but I am really liking my Godin LG series. Got it used, and I really like it. Two single coils, mahogany body. I've mostly played acoustics, so this is all new to me. Got it used for less than half price. A Canadian made guitar. My son has their fretless bass, the A4. I absolutely love this guitar. Bruce
