Ah, Tim. Great guy and a pleasure to talk to.

My brother, (RIP), actually did something similar while looking for a well casing in my other brother’s (RIP) property. Me and my father (RIP) were the only other ones to witness it, and since I was the shovel guy and due to all of the RIP’s, you’ll just have to believe me.

Fastenal also ships slow-boat as parts progress around the country. Might be worth looking into.

Nice amp. GLWS

RIP

I have no specific experience with that phone, but I would say the answer is “possibly”. The chances decrease if the phone is powered on / used at all.

https://stlouis.craigslist.org/ele/d/chesterfield-vintage-oiled-walnut-belle/7204256212.html $3500. No photos. No affiliation. Lowered from $3750 in another listing, which is still up, so pay what you want.

Agreed, error correction does not degrade audio quality and it is indeed perfect. Some algorithms may try to fail gracefully by substituting an estimated or interpolated sample in the event of a non-correctable error, but this feature, if it exists, is beyond the error correction phase and is outside the scope of “correction”.

another photo tonight from @MookieStl:

@MookieStl reports that the speakers are uncovered, the fire is built and ready, the playlist is complete, and dinner is almost ready. Sounds like a great night 2 is brewing. I think he's sold on the THTLP + La Scala combo.

It should have just been called "awful". Also, way way too much hair in those photos.

From @MookieStl Sounds like his party is going full-swing. He says everyone is impressed with the sound.

They’re stacked on top.

@MookieStl says things are set up for tonight and passes these photos along: The rig on the truck. The seating location about 100' away. The bonfire! He reports that it sounds excellent and that it "keeps up better than the 2 12" Titanic subs" he's used before. Tonight is the real test.

I set it up at the edge of a 100-car parking lot and had two La Scalas and the THTLP going pretty good, and there was adequate bass over the entire lot. @MookieStl is going to have 4 La Scalas and the THTLP going, so it might be a different story. Can't wait to see! BTW, I offered him my two La Scalas so he'd have six and he thought 4 was enough, lol.

from 10 to 40 feet. moderate to loud, but not extreme.

Works fine for me with 2 outdoors and has plenty of headroom, but haven't tried it with 4. I hope to hear that!

Lookin' great! I hope to hear this whole setup when you get back. If it is in the lot and we have social distancing, maybe @JustAuBy and @Hornographic and @mw772could come hear it too?

THTLP

They do have more. This one is a true relist.

I’ve said this before, but I guess I need to try it. One of my computers has an optical input. I intend to couple the optical out of a streaming computer to the optical in of that computer and record a snippet of a “high-res” stream. Then I can look at the spectral content of that recording. My guess is that most of the “high-res” songs are CD rips. I will post results here if I ever try it.
