So... had some time last night after dinner with the fam to switch speakers in and out. Went back to the LSA as sub/David Louis combo and played a few reference lps and then ran high-res files through the system. Acoustic stuff great with excellent instrument placement. Digitized vinyl fine...

I gotta say, it's fun watching an engineer engineer...

"Charlie don't surf!!!"

I think the build my own crossover is on hold for a while. I took the little single driver floorstanders out of the system and switched back to my bi-amped LSA's using the passive internal crossovers. Those DavidLouis/LouisDavid chinesium drivers were fun, but harsh. I just couldn't get around...

What Andrew posted. The Russcos at the FM station would come up to full speed in 1/4 turn of the platter (45 rpm) and less at 33.3 rpm. It took the big Gates 16" tables at an AM station where I worked 1/3 turn. You'd drop the needle (hopefully) in the dead zone between songs on the album and...

That's the spirit!

Got a bunch of my grandfather's punches. Might have to go in search of better drill bits than what I have. Need to make friends with a small machine shop...

We had Stanton 581s on the tonearms at eh FM station. They could usually handle the back-cueing. Usually. We kept spares.

Yes, I'm headed down the rabbit hole...

They seem to be going for $40-ish on the 'bay, which was about what they sold for back in the day, if memory serves. Anyone use one or is it just better to get the DIRAC software and mic?

Looking for advice as I look at this Nelson Pass-designed board and kit from DIY's store for a two-way active crossover: https://diyaudiostore.com/products/analog-crossover-network-lx-mini-kit. The board kit appears to be complete so I'll just need to add the power supply and chassis/box plus...

I want to see what you do with that one, Lee.

Just curious - what's the advantage of the noise cancelling feature when listening in a quiet environment (your home)? I'm using Beyer DT 880 Pros, which I guess are decidedly old-school without noise cancelling.

It was the longest before we got it - early this year. That may have helped as well as the mutations don't seem to be as powerful. I like the avoiding people strategy as well. Our local daughter and her family along with our gang of friends is pretty much like that, too, which helps a lot. Work...

If the website is to be believed, they're still playing. Don't see any agency representation listed... Looks like they tour more in the summer. Playing Cape May later this month.

I've taken them all. I think they help with the severity of the symptoms. So far, I've only had one bout with it and I got on the paxlovid stuff within a day. It helped a bunch, as I think the vaccines did. Symptoms gone in a day; tested negative in three days. Pat got it at the same time...

I get it. Thanks for putting up with it on our behalf. Perhaps I should have added that at that time, Baylor's "military" program was an excuse for the older kids to beat the shit out of the younger kids. Could possibly be why I've had issues with authority figures my entire life...

Nah, you need a respirator for that look...

I never want to see another container of Brasso as long as I live. had to polish the brass bits on my uniform every damn day in middle and high school until Baylor got rid of military my junior year. Brass and shoes - every day. There is no love lost between me and my high school.

I'm getting there, I think.
