I usually only paint my nails in black or dark gray.

It looks like the stock white leads from the woofer run out the back of the cab, and I believe he basically says that in the video. There is nothing in any of the McIntosh equipment he is using that would allow him to set a crossover point to 700Hz to roll off the excess highs from the woofer. I’m pretty sure he’s running the woofers full range out of his home theater receiver. I think it’s a bunch of nonsense. and I say this as somebody that is actively tri-amping their La Scalas.

The bass in his video sounds fat and bloated. More bass =/= an improvement in sound quality. An active crossover can help but whatever this dude is doing ain’t it.

The only active crossover settings in the MHT100 are for the subwoofer line output which is only adjustable from 80-140Hz. There is no powered sub output on the MHT100 so he must have the woofer hooked up to one of the main speaker outputs. In one of his other videos he says he is using the external sub input on the MHT100. This makes me think he’s just running his woofers in mono with the bass level cranked up.

Oh my goodness. I hope that it passes quickly. Either naturally, or via assisted means.

I’ve been busy with work lately. We are moving our office down in AVL and I’ve also had to make some trips down to our Sylva office. on the audio front I’ve been tweaking my DSP settings on the LSLO (LaScala Like Objects). Still some obvious work to do on the phase response but it’s sounding better than ever as I get the phase and frequency response leveled out.

Yes, and now my H1’s as stands for my KP-250.

I used to go about 60,000 miles in a set of pads on my Ranger. Once I got married and Heather was driving, it needed new pads every 10,000 miles.

Hold up, you put the dead tweeter in the other speaker and the tweeter was still dead? Or, you put the good tweeter in the speaker that had the dead tweeter and it(the good tweeter) didn’t work once swapped?

I should add, these are the later style with the tractrixy flare to the horn. Older models have a sharper lip at the mouth of the horn.

Well, it was a pleasant enough day to put a couple hundred miles on the ol ‘burb while taking care of some issues at one of my remote offices. Back home now with a sip of bourbon and it’s about time to get the kids to bed.

It’s sort of the same thing on Android. The point is that connecting to the DAC, you aren’t trying to pass analog audio via the cable, you are passing data.

We’ve had covid at my house recently and I’m still feeling a little bit more tired than usual but not as bad as the first time I had it. It’s 28° and clear here this morning and we are supposed to hit 55° this afternoon.

If you your phone has the Developer Options enabled it will sometimes toggle “Disable USB Audio Routing” to on by default.

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.

Didn’t we just have a whole thread about LS resonance? However, the answer is yes, less of a bloom and better definition.

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.

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.

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.”

You will really be stuck in a bubble once you get banned for being a spammer.

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.

Same here. Sometimes I even shut off the water of the gal next door.

This is another spammer account.
