Invidiosulus

Sunday night in Josh’s noise lab.

He was the best kitty. But little Mr. sawdust for brains was also the best kitty.

That’s about the way it was going.

Out listening to the piano man at the local bar. This dog belongs to my neighbor at the end of my street. He’s busy getting drunk and trying to hit on all the young girls. His dog is pretty nice though.

Well, there’s a reason I kept my interest to the pet dog. My estranged wife and I are still legally married…

Congrats! I hope the rest of the process goes smoothly for you.

I think only the fretboard was ebony on those. The 50’s era black LP customs used a one piece Honduran mahagony body. The headstock overlay is typically dyed black holly wood.

Butter is way healthier for you too.

It looks like my worries concerning the low pass nature of the plenum volume were correct. but, it’s much flatter than the K33 regarding the famous bump at 148Hz. There might be(probably are) better drivers out there for this but these were $10 each.

Correct. I think “shoehorned” would be the correct nomenclature. they are supposed to be wired in series/parallel with one woofer in each pair wired as if they were out of phase since they are facing the same direction. This should put everything correctly in phase while reducing 2nd order distortion due to balancing out any driver nonlinearities and vibration. or whatever. I don’t think the original version that Dennis made was ever measured and this might only be the second time anyone has tried this. The specs on the woofer suggest that it will work well but the plenum chamber firing into the throat can also act as a low pass filter and I haven’t really modeled that part of it in Hornresp.

😬

I think so. still, I made some sawdust this evening.

I have several irons in the fire right now but today I’m trying to make some progress on another one of DJK’s ideas for the LS.

I’ve cleaned the K-76 style diaphragms before by carefully removing the nuts that hold it together and then lifting the horn off, then for the diaphragm itself I dusted it very lightly with a soft paintbrush until the dust and fuzzies were gone.

I had a Bluetooth speaker in my bag playing the Gravity Falls theme song and a bunch of remixes.

26° this morning when I got the kids on the bus and we are supposed to have a high of 42° today. I think it was about 40° last night when we were out trick or treating. We hit up most of the shops in downtown and then headed over to the neighborhood next to mine and the kids made the rounds there before we headed to my buddies place for a Halloween party and to get warm. The eyepatch kept some heat from escaping my left eyeball. The kids all claimed they were plenty warm.

You have a curfew?

Another photo from Saturday night’s party. other than the face paint, this is pretty much how we usually dress.

The USA mainland has 4 time zones We set our clocks back an hour this coming weekend. it always takes me a little while to get used to the new schedule.

Last night I went out to one of the local cover band’s annual halloween show and hung out with a bunch of friends.

Sent you a message.

The guy that invented the Carolina Reaper has come out with a new pepper called Pepper X. It’s said to be 2 to 3 times hotter than the Carolina Reaper.

The view across Lake Michigan from that height is really nice.

Pork Ribs! time to heat up some leftovers for lunch.
