[Eliptrac 240]

Yes, its actually a truncated version of the 240 designed to fit in a KHorn with modified riser.

I can see the difference in the 2 sizes

What are the actual measurements for fitting into the box casing

I am seriously contemplating getting the larger size if it's available in kit form, as an upgrade to the 400

Should also compliment the designer and maker of this horn type as it gives me so much listening pleasure

[Frazier Crossover Capacitors]

In the crossovers I currently use

The capacitors are a combination of Sonicap & Jensen Superior

However I just ordered 2 of the new Duelund cast hand made 10r10W resistors to give them a try

Jupiter Capacitors also make wax in paper and are highly thought of in audio circles

You will need to see if they make value you require

These are the drivers that are paired with the 400 Eliptrac horn on my separate La Scalas

Exposure time is important in night photography

In these shots I tried to get emphasis on the glass and the inner light assisting

[New hard drive will not format ?]

On a similar note

I purchased an SD card - one of those fast SDXC -128 gb

Computer would not read the card no matter what I did or tried

I eventually found a fix on the Windows site - all that was needed ? A driver or a recognition patch

From then on all worked fine

Same deck I have, FR. There is a guy in Houston who works on decks as well as vintage tube stuff. He's pretty good...

Thanks for the tip Mallette it will help other members with R2Rs

However in my case it's to far to travel - a one way trip is 8344 miles from where I live

Story on those La Scalas???

They are member Sootshe's

I purchased them from him because they won't fit in his new house

Currently tweaking them now to suit my equipment and room

[Reel to Reel guys...]

It's taken a while to get it complete with original brand specific parts

My Sony TC 765 Reel2Reel

Here is a shot of my Sony with a glimpse of the new La Scalas

Although the photo shows the NAB adapter is from a Revox I do have the genuine Sony ones as well

[DAC or AMP which will make most difference in CPU based system]

A TeraDak NOS Chameleon, will give you the best bang for your dollar as it's a superb sounding DAC

A DAC needs to be connected to an amplifier - any amplifier that suits your ears

Thanks for the input, I just recieved the Schiit tubed Valhalla amp today and so far i like it. Ill take a look at the dac even though i wont know what the heck im looking at

Almost all CD players have a DAC ( a handful don't - these units are classed as transports )

Some are better than others, it all depends on how it's put together and the Chip installed that does the converting

DAC stands for Digital to Analogue Convertor

However if you want to play from a different input e.g. Computer or Stream over WiFi then you need a DAC with the appropriate input connections e.g. USB, Optical, SPDF ect

I think I will get the Hi Res download versions of both offerings

It's easy to record to tape if set up right

[Klipsch Reissues PWK's Early Stereo Recordings]

Question !

1) How many compilation CDs are available to date

2) Will there be an offering in Reel2Reel master quality tape ( as I have and use Reel2Reel regularly )

3) As there has been an 80% growth of vinyl record sales in 2013 has there been consideration given to a vinyl release ( yes I also have a turntable set up as well )

Cheers

[Eliptrac 240]

Thanks Dave

Much appreciated

[Eliptrac 240]

I also added an additional motor mount support for those crazy heavy drivers, and of course UPS drivers.

Dave

Would the Eliptrac 400 model need this bracing if one has used a Great Plains 399 8A mid drivers ?

Forget to look here for a few day and look what happens, plenty new pictures, very nice.

Mr Boxx, very nice looking "domicile", I think it deserves a much better name.

Welcome Full Range, had a RTR many years ago, Akai about the same size as that, probably should have kept it.

Thanks for the welcome Dtel

I just got a new DSLR camera - a Canon EOS70D

These are some of my first test shots

[Streaming iTunes to the 2 channel]

Well, success finally at last. Last night I got the Apple Airport Express (AAE) set up and working fine. The AAE has an digital out via toslink by 1/8" mini plug fiber optic cable into my DAC to the preamp. Now I can sit in the den on the sofa stream and control iTunes from my iPad or iPhone.

Pretty slick gizmo for $99....

WooHoo!

RonW.

I have connected my iPad in a similar way but used Apple TV for my streamer

Apple TV is connected to my external DAC via the optical cable and the iPad controls it's functions

Works great

In the near future I plan to transfer all my digital music to a NAS server and access it via wifi
