    Compare this to a "Dragon"

    Hehe.. something tells me I'm an ebil heretic with this, but hey... this is good stuff. Here's a quick 1 minute demo of a recording I did. Basically the source is the EMU 0404 sound card, while the "recorder" per se is the M-Audio 24/96. Take a look at the frequency response and range on the...

    New Guts in the Polks aka Xover Mod

    Thanks again Larry for getting the caps! Got them in today, and I couldn't resist.. Soo.. here goes.. Here's the crossovers right after I pulled them out. Yeah, that big hulking red thing IS a coil that is part of the crossover! Then I took inventory of what I had, plus the new...

    Redoing the crossovers in the Polks

    So the other night I found some audio test recordings. One of which was a frequency sweep of sorts. I played it, and man... even though I can SEE the signals between right and left were the same as the frequency went up, there were several steps in the sweep to where the tone would actually...

    The Sanyo A35 "sleeper" meets his BIG brother!

    Well, looks like I'm going to be able to do some dismantling on the M80 this weekend now. I've had a Sanyo Plus A35 integrated for awhile now, but just got it's big brother this week - the P55 power amp. It's rated at 100 per, but that's more than likely conservative. Inside are dual power...

    They're big, they're scary, but why put 'em in the garage?

    Only for the warped in the head - like me

    Ok, so how many have heard the old tune "Fire Water Burn" by Bloodhound Gang? Quite a few, I'd gather... So I was curious and I started to listen to Bloodhound Gang's greatest hits (Show Us Your Hits). BWHA HA HA HA HA HA... These guys are really warped in the head. They.. just...

    Who wants some 'puter parts?

    Just got done upgrading to a six core, 8G screamer. Now I was wondering what to do with the old stuff (and a few other things), so here you have ... CPU w/Fan - Pentium 920 Dual Core, 2.8Ghz Motherboard - EVGA 650i Ultra (Socket 775, nVidia SLI) Populated with 3G's of RAM (2 1G's, 2 512MB's)...

    More speaker placement musings... Four speakers for stereo?

    So here's what I'm thinking. Say I wanted to put a pair at the rear of the room, right? Face that pair forward as well to the listening area. Should I wire out of phase is the first question that comes to mind - the drivers are essentially facing opposite of the fronts, right? Second...

    Onboard MB Raid - Just don't do it..

    So I thought with all the extra HD's I had acquired recently that I would turn on my motherboard's RAID feature. I have four HD's, 2 that are 1TB and another 2 that are 320G. So for the 1st two I "mirrored" them, which is when RAID takes two disks and keeps a complete copy of the data sync'd...

    NewEgg = Eggheads = (bleep)heads

    Yeah, thought I'd start off this new forum with a warning - don't order anything from NewEgg that you hope to receive in good condition! I ordered a couple of hard drives from them last week. Got it in on Thursday, and to my dismay - the box came in looking like this...

    Using search engines effectively

    So, checking out ebay tonight I notice this here... http://cgi.ebay.com/YAMAHA-R-9-STERO-RECEIVER-OWNERS-MANUAL-FREE-SHIPPING-/380148551535?pt=Vintage_Electronics_R2&hash=item58829e8f6f As I'm sure everyone knows by now, Yamaha has a section of their site that contains not only this manual...

    Bringing an oldie but goodie back

    Well, just made arrangements to buy what I sometimes kick myself for selling - A Yamaha R-9 Receiver. 125 per channel, with the same auto-class A capability as my M-80 but at a lesser scale (I think 10W max?). I did love the sound coming out, and the one I'm getting is "pristine" with all...

    Yamaha M-80 - I think time for a recap!

    Yeah, when a lil' ole Nakamichi AV-1 beats my M-80 in a listening test, then I think I'm going to look at refurbing the Yamaha. I'm going to take 'er down along with the Carver pre until I get the M-80 fully restored. I was actually thinking of selling it :shock: , but .. naaah... that's...

    EMU 0404 - Got me one

    So after fixing Rex's EMU 0404, I decided it was a pretty good idea to upgrade my sound card and bought one of my own. Now they also come in the PCI Express flavor, so that was an added bonus. The PCI Express version (probably the newer PCI as well) now comes with a full EMI shield to cut...
