  1. If you your phone has the Developer Options enabled it will sometimes toggle “Disable USB Audio Routing” to on by default.
  2. Interesting use of internal bi-wiring with Cat-5. Those look like a great set of H1’s. I would not try to take the front panel off. Just mask off the area, sand, spray some black lacquer. Or just put the grills back on. My favorite stand for a pair of Heresy is another pair Heresy.
  3. Didn’t we just have a whole thread about LS resonance? However, the answer is yes, less of a bloom and better definition.
  4. For many years the Altec horns were considered THE upgrade for a K400 on the LS/Khorn. My LS will keep up with a lot of speakers out there but part of me still wants to build a set of A7 cabs. Or maybe I’ll just refinish my LS in VOTT gray.
  5. Plane wave tube measurements tend to overemphasize the low mid response of the driver and would seem to indicate the response rolling off sooner than it would in an actual horn. Collapsing polars with a rise in frequency is needed to keep the on axis response flat without EQ. Constant Directivity horns will either have a rolled off upper response(on and off axis) or you implement EQ to boost the upper frequencies to maintain a flat response. i still have a pair of K-400 horns sitting around here somewhere. once the weather gets nice I plan on getting some on and off axis measurements with the K-55-V just to satisfy my curiousity.
  6. Reminds me of the old Maine farmer who gets a wounded moose stuck in his barn. He starts charging folks 25 cents to go in and see it up close. A family pulls up out front in a station wagon and gets out to go see the moose. The farmer looks them up and down and tells them they can go in for free. ”It’s worth more for my Moose to see your family than it is for your family to see my Moose.”
  7. You will really be stuck in a bubble once you get banned for being a spammer.
  8. It’s been at my house too. My two youngest boys and I were the last to get it and it’s been dragging us down since last weekend. I can tell they are feeling better. Instead of being flopped on the couch this morning they were sitting up playing Pokémon.
  9. Same here. Sometimes I even shut off the water of the gal next door.
  10. This is another spammer account.
  11. Sorry, it cropped funny when I grabbed a screenshot from REW and I’m running out of space on here to upload larger pics. The right edge of the graph is actually 24kHz. It’s only about 2dB down at 20kHz. I like the horn a lot. I had used these horns previously with some Celestion CDX1-1412 neo drivers which are absolutely fantastic and were really flat out to 21kHz. The celestion drivers were a smaller 2 bolt pattern and would bolt on without drilling a new set of mounting holes on this horn. I ended up moving the Celestion drivers into my KP-250 when they needed new tweeters and I’ve been on the lookout for something else that could get to 20kHz that could bolt onto the STH100. So far I’m pretty happy with the D220ti.
  12. These actually came in a little while back. NOS Selenium D220ti bolt on drivers to mount on my FaitalPro STH100 horns.
  13. Dickey Betts is just smoking his LP on this one.
  14. Beechcraft Bonanza is the name of my friends EP for their rockabilly band.
  15. I learned how to ice skate before I learned how to ride a bike.
  16. I boiled some hamburgers last night and woke up this morning to some more snow coming down as the temp continued to drop all day. A friend of mine up in VA grows some of those big herb plants. I told him he must be doing something wrong as I still haven’t seen any tomatoes on the bushes he has staked up out back.
  17. That space looks great! I moved into my brick house just over eight years ago.
  18. A couple years ago, right after Russia invaded Ukraine, My good friend Brad, decided to go over there to help out. he spent the next year and something helping to deliver food and medical supplies to folks in and around the Bakhmut area. He also provided evacuation services to the elderly and infirm. At times he was literally carrying people out of apartment buildings as they were being shelled by the advancing Russian forces. During all of this he mentioned that he had heard a particular organ piece on public radio some years before and that it wasn’t available anywhere. This piqued my interest, I had actually remembered Brad mentioning this same piece several years before. I started searching. Eventually I was able to track down the website of the organist in Norway who had recorded the only known copy of the work in question. I entered my info on his websites contact form and waited. Within a day or two I had a response asking for my address so he could send me a copy of his CD. A few weeks later a copy of the CD showed up at my house.
  19. I love this sort of thing.
  20. We managed to somehow avoid the big snow event yesterday. Friends of mine 30 minutes north of here got about 10 inches and we got zilch, just lots of rain yesterday as our temps stayed in the upper 30’s until the precipitation passed us by. This afternoon after the temp dropped into the low 20’s we started getting some flurries. The kids have a remote day for school tomorrow so we decided to go out for a walk around town while there was still some snow on the ground. it was around 11° by the time we got back to the house after stopping by the grocery store for some donuts and bacon for breakfast in the morning.
  21. This is another spammer account.
  22. An active DSP and a pair of amps would run that setup with ease. The Dayton DSP-408 is super cheap and easy to use and offers a lot of features. The Dayton DSP doesn’t specifically offer room correction but there are ways to calculate some room averages with REW and generate EQ settings. If you are interested in tweaking crossovers, active or passive, you really need to get a calibrated mic and learn to use REW to take measurements. Otherwise you are shooting in the dark.
  23. Years ago my brother and I were hanging out in our back yard and we heard our neighbors shooting their .22 at something. we didn’t think much of it since they were always shooting at squirrels or snakes around the property. A moment later we hear a wizzzzz right past us and a leaf on the branch next to my head pops loose and drifts to the ground. Apparently they were shooting at a squirrel in a tree in the vacant area between our houses and weren’t paying attention to what was beyond their target. IIRC @Marvel offered to shoot at the squirrel from our direction with his Mini-14.
