I don't drive 200 MPH often but hey its great when you can if the urge arises! ---------------- If we're going to talk about cars on a thread about PP, I think something like this would be more appropriate. This applies to SET as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timbley Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 These old cars didn't measure well. But they did some things right that no piston powered, rubber tired car will ever be able to. For one thing, the acceleration was incredibly smooth. It wasn't particularly powerful, although not bad with Fred helping. These cars used muscle power, which is inherently smooth and liquid in nature. Piston engine cars can approach this smoothness by using more pistons, and with carefully design counter weights. But perceptive drivers can always feel the vibration. Stone wheels could reveal subtle irregularities in the road to a level no rubber tired vehicle will ever even get close to. I'll stand by that. See the look on Fred's face? That tells it all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't Batman wore Spandex? If you want to ride fast, might as well to do it with style! ---------------- You sit in the passengers seat for a 1/4 mile blast and you would wish it was the Batmobile. A car like that could easily snap you neck as it leaves the line pulling a 1.1 second 60 foot time hanging the front tires in the air, Clicking off the 1/4 mile in low 7 second or better range at 200 MPH a thrill that is way more addicting then some weak kneed sports car. Been there and done it. Craig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunnysal Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 the problem with my digital amp, is that as a "flea" digital amp it rolls off at high volumes I only get 3/4s and 1/2s instead of 1s and 0s...talking about clipping! tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Mobley Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 it's the partial zeros I really hate. talk about ear-wire, that's awful. much worse than the 1's clipped to .75. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunnysal Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 I know what you mean Tom, while I find the even truncation to be more soothing (i.e. .8, .6, .4, .2) the odd is quite grating (i.e. .25, .5, .75 and the dreaded .7935), dont even get me started on partial zeros! tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still I do get my exercise with push - pull, but after a while it is tiring and I do SET down. One other problem that I have with digital - my ring starts to interfere.

Since I got set up this way, I can hear each 1 and 0 so clearely that I could dictate every bit while listening to music if I could only type fast enough.

sunnysal Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 you're kidding yourself! science tells us that even triamped, digital amps will only give us 1s and 0s if we have enough POWER...science also tells us that if we use too much power we can get 2s and double 0s...so we must...oh never mind... 00 tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
