Thanks for posting the HDR photos
My Canon DSLR camera has the HDR feature but never used it
Youre post may have given me a prod and a poke to give it a try
Just wondering if it works as well on closeup near macro shots
Watch this space as I give it a go

That tone arm almost looks like a science experiment wow.
Good looking pic everyone.
It's a TransFi Terminator 3 from England
Tangential tracking that floats on air
That is a 401 on roids!
Gave this 401 the full treatment and fitted it with the amo to get the job done
Thank you both for the comments

I use 2 CD players / Transports
One classic one modern - Both are no longer produced - but can be had second hand
The classic is a Marantz CD94 MK II
The Modern is a Audio GD CD7 SE
Both CD players are excellent and I am spoilt for choice
All you people that poo poo old technology read this
The classic Philips CD-1 transport is still considered in the top 3 of all time

I can see why it won an award - So much depth

That girl has a great voice but one song does not make a singer
However with the nature of these shows and the stupidity of the producers to couple stupid song selections with contestants that can't handle a style is frustrating to watch
I hope she does well and stays true to herself
However if the music machine industry has anything to do with it she will be gobbled up and left in a heap
Sorry if it sounds negative but we have all seen how very few contestants and winners have fared in the past

It's happening all the time now
Journalists and reviewers just cut and paste a company press release and if they feel creative - just add some words of your own
Definition of a press release is an advertisement that reads and sounds like an everyday conversation

The bass extension mod has made a big difference to my La Scalas
So I can't see any reason that it wouldn't work on other similar designs
-
Well if were to break it will not be that part, looks like it's built like a tank, Nice looking machine work.
Yes they are hand turned on a lathe
Materials are a combination of Brass and AlluminiumAluminum?
The brass section is also height adjustable and there is a small round coupling plate for the spike
Ohh and the Turntable is a Garrard 401

A lot of people use 7" port lengths, for a little tighter bass.
Marvel - Would that be dependent on what drivers are used ?
I may devise a sliding port length system the next time I am in the mood to pull the cabinets apart and give it a try
For those interested
I have measured the Bass extension cabinet of my La Scalas that were built by the Original Poster - @sootshe
I've always wanted to try this mod. Does anyone have FR curves of before and after this mod? I like that it is easily reversible.

It seems that the links in this thread do not work. Can anyone direct me to the "Doghouse Plans"? I have some La Scalas, and want to add the ported box......I also sounds like I need to sell the stamped Crites woofers and buy the cast version. I am using Eliptrac 400's and Al's Universal Network. I have a friend who is putting the finishing touches on his KHorns, and I MUST blow them out of the water...but I do have the BMS 4592 MID compression drivers..as an ace in the hole....
Thank for any links

Is anyone else unable to find
dealing-with-a-forum-member
I don't think I've seen a total thread removed before. Pictures that some felt were inappropriate, I have no argument with that even though I'm the one that went over the line there. But the whole thread. When I tried to access the thread I got a message that I was not authorized to see it. Or some such statement. The only way I can get any access is by clicking on ******** liked a post you made in Dealing with a forum member
In honor of the founder of Klipsch I call B$
If is indeed still on the forum the I readily apologize for any insinuation.
Just tested it for you mate
Same result even after logging in
My search was also via Google

My speakers are fitted with the 399A Great Plains drivers
Sound bloody fantastic
Made in the modern way with old school materials based on the Altec Lansing design heritage
Not sure if they have 2" drivers but worth a look and a read

Good bit of reading on the subject we are discussing
Well I believe my crossover build falls within the North Creek preferred parameters for foil applicationThe only application for copper foil inductors - where high DCR is acceptable and low ACR may be beneficial - is as series inductors in small dome midrange circuits.
That being the foil inductors are only fitted to the mid range and tweeter sections
Furthermore the midrange also has a primary solid 3mm copper coil before the foil coil so it's a series inductor
Weather by design or a guesstimate - Glad I am doing something right ( I think ?)

I stopped using the Sledgehammers from Madisound. For every four or five they sent me, I would get one where the laminations were loose, and you could slide them back and forth. They may measure well, but they're poorly made. Do the measurements show that?
The Erse Super 'Q' inductors aren't dipped in anything, just wound -- another example of a poorly made coil in my opinion.
Janzten at least has the sense to make an attempt to remove the air from the between the windings. I like their products.
The UT iron cores are well made and rock solid. I'm having those made on the larger frame, with the larger wire and wax impregnated.
Thanks for your expert clarification of how an item is treated in manufacture can affect it's performance
I forgot to mention that I used the Jantzen wax foil coils in my crossovers for the very way they were treated with wax in there manufacture

Google it.Foil Inductors, why the new trend?
Where are you seeing this "trend"?
There are a lot of companies pushing foils as the best choice.
I also saw in one of the threads here on the forums one member removed the Litz in favor of Foil. Seems like a step backwards.
I have a few but quit using them because Hepa Litz performed better for my application.
ALK and I have been running a few tests, seems although the Litz has the highest Q , the Foils came in second. Both were a far cry better than solid for HF.
Dave
You mentioned a member changing from Litz to foil inductors
That would be me - but a little context is in order
All my speaker drivers fitted to the La Scalas differ from original and fitting foil inductors was an experiment to see if I could get some more definition from the mid and high range
As you indicated in your post - it's what suits ones application
The change to foil inductors were also made in conjunction with other components so the build has to be seen as a recipe of many ingredients
The end result is delicious

My 2 cents on this subject
Measurements are necessary and I believe invaluable in raw data to get one to the final result quicker
It measures the htz parameters thank you very much
However the data can be flawed when one tries to set a preferred sound signature (EQ) in a room only with measurements
Many things can corrupt that measurement
The worst offender is the software - The modelling data assumes to much or not enough - of what an ear can and can't do
Then there is the room dynamics
Then the persons musical taste preference and how one actually listens to music
And last but not least the marriage of all the components used
Not withstanding that - what one person likes another may not - ( similar to food )
The ear in conjunction with the other senses have the last say to ones individual preference

The Cinema F-20 came on line today, and did not, perhaps, piss off the neighbors as cause them to shelter in place. The missing octave was found on the Virgil Fox direct to disc recording classic from Crystal Clear. Having performed a smoke test with no signal, I let the Black cartridge down into the lead in groove and turned the volume to twelve o'clock. No real noticeable change on the initial 8 and 4 foot stops that open the Bach Toccata and Fugue in D Minor. However, at bar 9 the run up the minor scale starts on a low D well below the clef. My teeth chattered, the lights visibly vibrated, and I was sexually stimulated as my private parts were massaged at 16.5hz. My son entered the room and shouted that stuff was moving around on his desk. I told him to call a priest. While my fight or flight instinct said "Run like hell..." I stuck it out and sunk into the music with eyes closed and could feel what one really feels in a great space. Powerful, yes. Loud, yes. But not really threatening at all once you convince your mind that earthquakes really don't happen in Houston and that the full range sound of a great hall is really possible even in a 12X15 space.
Some tuning to do. Crossover isn't as transparent as I will make it. But, I just guessed at the settings.
Huge thanks to Carl, Lonelobo, and, of course, the PAW. Pictures will be posted once I get the room straightened out.
Dave
I pissed myself laughing at the - Call A Priest - line for a good 15 minutes
That's classic and congrats at getting closer to Nirvana

Nakamichi CA-1 A/V control amplifier.
in 2-Channel Home Audio
Posted
I use the Nakamichi CA-5 II preamp for all HiFi applications - ie Tape, Phono, CD
However the CA 1 is an AV processor preamp
Probably out of date with AV advances since its release
If the build quality is anything like the CA-5 then it will be superb for its design parameters
Here is some user reviews - http://www.audioreview.com/cat/amplification/preamplifiers/nakamichi/ca-1/prd_118469_1591crx.aspx
