Cables, Coffee, Cycles, and Cocktails

Something weird happening. Ever since the flu my taste for coffee has gone off the cliff. I usually have a cup after work as I normally have for the past ten years. Not yesterday. Got home thinking I'd have some but only managed to finish  half a cup of iced coffee. 

Strange times. :huh:

you see Cowboys and Aliens?

 

Arivaca gets a mention early in ...

 

just a mention. Something like "That happened back in Arivaca"

 

must want coffee worse than I thought. I have 2 cups going. Sheesh.

Which one are you ? The cowboy or the alien 👽

 

And if you are the alien 👽... Are you from planet klipsch ?

 

And is this your mission

Eight Cardinal Points of Reproduction 





1.Freedom from distortion. Minimum distortion requires small amplitudes of air mass movements, even at peak transient power output. Bass diaphragm motion should not exceed 1/16 inch. Corner placement reduces distortion three fourths.



2.Optimum size of speaker. Large enough to reproduce the lowest audible bass tone at peak transient power output without distortion; not so large as to produce a separation of bass and treble events. Corner placement increases effective size of speaker 4 times.



3.Freedom from rattles.



4.Freedom from shadows. Obstructions between high frequency speaker and listeners can not be tolerated - treble wave-lengths do not turn corners. 



5.Freedom from cavities. The space under a speaker box formed by mounting it on legs can destroy the bottom octave of response and deteriorate the next 2 octaves.



6.Adequate spacing for stereo. In a 14 x 17 foot room, for example, the 17-foot wall is apt to be best for the stereo speaker array.



7.Accurate spatial values. Ability to localize the virtual sound sources in their original spatial relationships requires 3 widely spaced speakers, regardless of size or type, retention of this quality over a wide listening area requires toe-in of the flanking speakers.



8.Flanking speakers toed-in. Such toe-in is naturally provided by corner speakers. The effect is to reduce shift of the virtual sound source for different listener locations. This is the only way to achieve a wide area for listening.

Just finished my first cup to the sound of rain.  I think we got between 5 and 10 inches last night depending on where you live.  It was very Harvyesque.  Guess I'll see if my backyard drain worked after the sun comes up.

You should be happy . That it wasn't cold enough to

Make snow.. 1" of perception = 1' foot of snow

Was it the flavor?

did you have sinus congestion with the flu? 

 

or did the coffee "get to you". Edgy ...

Maybe it was the flavor. Lately I've been brewing this type of bean which looks like tea coffee. No matter how much grounds I put in it's never dark. 

So I brewed my favorite beans and while it was much better I think it's the residual effects of the flu as my body/flavor hasn't "snapped" back into place yet. 

Thanks for asking.
