  1. What I propose to do: I have two computers, one with an optical out and the other with an optical out AND in. I have coupled them before just to see if I can play from one and record on the other, and it does work. I would love to pick some tracks that are available on the various services in different resolutions and play them on the first computer, using the optical out. I would first connect it to my DAC to see the actual sample rate, 44.1 / 96 / whatever, then connect it to the second computer's optical IN and record just a snippet. (I know, probably a violation of some terms of service somewhere, but hey, this is academic research). I will then be able to do a spectral analysis on the recorded snippet and see what it looks like. I can already tell you that some of the "high-res" recordings that I purchased and that are in my possession show a very clear wall at 22.05 kHz..... They were sourced from CD material. I would love to see if there is a spectral difference / dynamics difference between the same tracks from different streaming providers. Of course, I will post my results if there is interest. Thoughts? code

  3. I'm not a tube expert. Not even a tube novice. I can, however, read schematics. Started as a component-level bench tech in the late 80's working on satellite communications gear. I moved to the engineering side and have been there ever since. These topologies look essentially the same to me. Furthermore, the circuit modification as described and as implemented seems the same to me too.
  4. And? How does it sound???? Edit:nevermind. Too many beers. Sorry.
  5. Well, also the same frequencies as a displeased female voice, so there”s that. Did I just say that?
  6. Welcome and good choice. The Table Tuba will sound fantastic.
  7. I think those are from 1982. What do you want to know about them? What’s the price?
  8. I saw this today and thought some might be interested.
  9. Wait, TWO members here have the COVID-19 thing? I'm serious, I missed that news. Sorry to hear that.
  10. Now I just have to get in to work to fix them. Not sure when that will be at this point, but I'll get to it!
  11. Thank you. I'm sorry if you thought that was addressed to you.
  12. It also contains Hydrogen, and we all know what happened to the Hindenburg. Are you mentioning quinine for possible use with COVID-19? If so, do you have any links to studies which show it is effective?
  13. Well, with my reasoning, anyway (not worth much), exactly centered vertically would double the resonant frequency of the sidewall. That's probably good enough, but if they are off center by a bit, the resulting resonant frequencies would be slightly less than double and slightly more than double.
  14. My splits were built from factory cabinets from 1974, and one of them has an obvious small void on the side. I could hear it when I was hand sanding, and once I localized it, it has a bit of sponge-like consistency to it. It is about the size of a half-dollar. I thought about drilling a small hole to get a path into it and injecting loctite pl, but decided to just leave it alone.
  15. This is awesome and it'll sound fantastic, too.
  16. LOL, I don't know. I suggested a null box experiment and was told that it couldn't be measured that way. That's entirely the point of a null box.
  17. I have had a similar discussion with Jeff, and he will correct me if my understanding is wrong. He told me it takes hours or perhaps overnight to "form", and so changes are not instantly noticeable.
