80 Hz, or possibly lower, I’d have to connect a laptop to the iNukes to be certain. The “Supered” HIPs roll off naturally. The dsp in the iNukes control the slope and frequency range of the crossovers to the subs. It’s interesting to add or subtract the subs or the mains during playback. For instance, during the opening of DSOTM, turning off the iNukes greatly diminishes the heartbeats, but turning off the mains has very little effect on the heartbeats.

My son uses a Dayton plate amp to drive one with good results. There is no way to build a plate amp into the design without substantially altering the internal dimensions, or having it look like a goiter. Some sort of external case is the best solution.

Please refresh my recollection Chuck. When did you adopt Jake?

I use a pair of Behringer iNuke1000dsp amps. The low price (one was an “open box” from Parts Express), class D operation, balanced inputs, and dsp to set the crossover make them nearly perfect for my needs. Even though iNukes are notoriously overrated as to power, each amp is able to easily drive a pair of 8 ohm TH subs. I removed the noisy fans and never turn them off. There have been ZERO problems now for several years.

I know they’re available new for ~$70, but if one of the pack rats who haunt this place has one they no longer need, I’m interested. It must be a TC-778, as I need it to rip 78s to FLAC files to be played with a Pono player. I already have a much traveled TC-776 purchased from @billybob, which I need for my Denon MC cartridge. EDIT: 12/17/22 No longer WTB TEC TC-778.

Me too.

Agree! Saves typing @Tarheel

My friend was a retired GM employee, not a great R&B piano player. Listening to music using the Dynaco amplifier and preamp through Speakerlab 7s, all of which I assembled for Johnny, exposed me to Jazz and R&B that was beyond my suburban experience.

IMO, the surface area and depth of the port/vent are what matters. IMO, the Cornwall IV uses multiple ports for, at least, two reasons. First, it looks cool. Second, it uses ports already available that are used in other products. In any case, Roy @Chief bonehead has calculated the parameters necessary to have the vent/port function as he intended. As to front vs rear ports/vents, IMO, there is no correct answer. Each has strengths and limitations. Each works when done and placed appropriately.

Sad news indeed. Years ago, in the basement of Johnny Johnson, a friend I met through audio (I sold him an amp and built him a pair of Speakerlab 7s), introduced me to Chick Corea, as well as many more Jazz and R&B greats. I miss Johnny, and now mourn the passing of Chick.

All this time I thought rectilinear referred to a colonoscopy and a broom handle.

I think he goes about town with a sheep taking photos of kids on the sheep. Got to sell a lot of photos to amortize that Leica. 😉

That is the original Cinelli saddle. That saddle is now very hard on my 72 year-old butt. Each season it seems to take longer to get “comfortable” on that saddle.

I know what you mean. I’ve never ridden a bike with a better, more lively, ride. A friend bought a new Schwinn World Voyager (Japanese made with Shimano components) at the same time I bought my bike. At first, he questioned that my bike could be twice as nice to justify twice the price, until he rode it. After riding it, he frequently asked to trade on our long rides over the rural roads surrounding East Lansing, MI. OBTW, that Leica is most impressive. I could not help but exclaim, “Holy S**t” when I Googled “Leica Q2 Monochrom,” and saw the prices. That is a very serious camera.

Very nice.

Now I see it. Nice looking bike. Those look like sew-ups; are they?

Your photo doesn’t load, at least on my iPad. My bike was purchased new in 1974. It is a Legnano (Italian) with a Reynolds 531 frame and Campagnolo components. I recently had a friend replace the sew-up tires and rims with 120 psi clinchers. Sew-ups became too hard to find and not worth the benefit. The photos below show the new clincher rims and tires. The profile and pressure are similar to sew-ups. Believe it or not, those are the same tires in both photos. The starboard side has blackwalls, with orange to port. If I use it for a getaway in a bank robbery, witnesses will describe orange tires, but I’ll park it with the black showing while sipping coffee at a nearby Starbucks.

Sold.

Please post a photo of the whole bike. The Nuovo Record looks familiar.

Do you mean came to a good home? If so, congratulations and derails please.

I had already watched, and enjoyed, the episode, but totally failed to notice the Khorn. Here you go @Mighty Favog

Where in episode 4?

What’s the second word?

I know Claude @ClaudeJ1 has both (I sold him an extra TPA3255EVM) but I don’t know how he uses them. He’ll probably fill us in.
