  1. Yes. That link is available from their main site, both of which work fine just now from here. Are they yet working for you?
  2. My county in IN has three confirmed cases as of yesterday, but tests were totally unavailable even one week ago so who really knows...
  3. (I was referring to in case you'd missed it. We all got told real good, and I was mentioned particularly, indirectly. Numbskull wasn't the word he'd used, but it's a synonym.)
  4. Thank you! I think we're going to need them. Now up to three confirmed cases in our semi-rural county as of yesterday. Though tests were totally unavailable to those who wanted them at the start of the week. A lot of the ostriches still have their head in the sand, it seems.
  5. https://www.hypex.nl/ is up and running just now for me here. Maybe a name server, router, or the hosting service was down when you tried it earlier. I'm huge fan and I'm only running an OEM (NAD) implementation of their UCD module. I'd love to have an nCore board. I'd hook up an LED to the available pin to indicate clipping. Wish the UCD had that.
  6. Correct. Oops, grammar police here: that one's "Nora and me" (as it should also be in the thread title). Sorry, just one of my pet peeves! But what do I know, I'm just a numbskull who participates in the Klipsch forums...
  7. Haha! I guess I'm the simpleton who tried to tell him that re-clocking a digital signal while it's being transported over USB is useless since the data is being blasted in waves to a memory buffer where it sits un-clocked until the DAC pulls it out one word at a time at the rate of its own clock. I guess I also missed my calling as a preacher... Damn! A great many assumptions made from such a short exposure to the forum. I'd say it has to be the result of improper ability to read only what's written.
  8. I'm not saying I believe going to all that trouble is a waste of time in every case, but that in a loudspeaker crossover it is. Please let us know in what way the included model drives any changes to any of the other components.
  9. For that reason I could tell if folks were home but just not answering the door when I was there to collect paper route money back in the day. Now I hear a little something like that at all times, maybe not quite that high...
  10. Yep to the first part, and "what money?" Save some money for retirement. I haven't... it sneaks up on you faster than you think it possibly could.
  11. A transformer is a transformer, whether it has isolated windings or not, I say; and that there's no need to model them as separate entities in a crossover. Simply use the impedance as seen through them as / when necessary and you'll be golden.
  12. Wipe off the frames and play 'em loud. That'll shake the dust off of the moving parts. ;^)
  13. I'm not condemning anyone, just saying I don't get it.
  14. I don't get it... I've got less than $3k in my entire system. It's the most ever (even taking in devaluation of the dollar since the '70s) and I feel just a tad guilty for being even that extravagant.
  15. I'd guess the rotatable 1/4 pi is novel. What I'd like to know is how often is it dusted? I'm thinkin' over 40 years, dust accumulation would affect the absorption abilities appreciably... Does Roy, or one of his lackeys, periodically hit the wedges with a shop vac? And do they cover the grating for measurement-taking? 'Cause that will surely affect the echoic behavior in the room.
  16. I just took it as him respecting his mommy when she said "If you can't say anything nice, ..." hahaha! Actually, I thought that between "57 minutes ago" and now he'd deleted what he'd said and I was disappointed I'd missed it.
  17. He probably didn't/won't see my post if I'm also on his ignore list...
  18. You do know who that is, right? If not, do a web search for "Roy Delgado".
  19. Didn't it wind up getting potted anyway?
  20. All you need to do is drive one speaker full-range, with them side-by-side playing the same signal, and compare the overall tonal balance to set the bi-amped differential gains. Of course you can salt and pepper a bit to taste, but initially I'm sure you want to be comparing two apples.
  21. You have the gains properly matched between the highs and lows, right?
  22. I'm thinking "air gaps" isn't voids but "not flat." Could be both, though.
  23. Re-clocking a signal transported over USB? Special USB cables? Methinks someone ought to investigate how things work. Digital transport mechanisms ain't analog. Some of the arguable(!) improvements available to analog transport, automatically transferred to digital just because it's "audio", is very uninformedly silly. Though the description of the results doesn't surprise me in the least because that's what was expected, so it was realized. This wasn't intended to be rude or critical. At this point it's a cautionary plea to perform due diligence in study of the mechanisms prior to spending any more money on things which can't possibly do what's claimed of them. Ahem... The DAC is doing exactly the same amount of work, passing the already-buffered data through it's mechanisms using its own clock to do so. The data is there waiting in an unclocked state and it doesn't matter how near to any DC leads it's passed or whatever timing manipulations have (or have not, most likely) been uselessly performed on it along the way. Seriously.
  24. Well, I think that for rough-and-tumble qualities there's only the one choice, and for inert density there's only the one choice. Too bad they're mutually exclusive in this case. Postscript: dense plywood is hard on cutting tools, and dense particle board is hard on cutting tools.
