Chris' Pioneer Spec 4 hack job

That is GREAT news, Lee. Glad ya had a judge with a good degree of common sense and decency!

Squidley is trying to walk now. When his dad does somethinng that p[leases him he shouts "AGAIN". When his uncle came over the other day and Squidley heard his voice he immediately stuck out his tongue. That was something his uncle taught him BEFORE HE WAS HURT!!!!!! Don't tell me everything was wiped out. That was a concsious memory.....

Jer, we have quite a few of those here. When the prosecution brought up restitution, the defense objected immediately as there were no motions, or any other legal notification that the prosecution was seeking any. Immediately after Squidley hit the hospital Department of family services took Squidley away from Kaleb and Sarah. Made him a ward of the state, and therefore liablle for his hospitalization. To the tune of 147,000.00 . When the state decided his mother and father were not a threat to him they ceded custody back to the parents. The judge sustained the objection and in a whisper to the prosecuting attorney said---"Don't even think about it"

Frequency response Chris' Spec 4.... dotted line is a bad test cable. 8 ohm load , 3.5 watts output UNWEIGHTED, 10-80K hz.


Folks, I don't know if it gets any flatter than that. I haven't seen one yet.

 

[Gepetto]

Rule #1 strikes again...

Glad you found your test equipment problem Lee. No time to waste chasing your tail on things like that.

Now your SAE will look better too.

 

[laatsch55]

Joe, made the mistake of NOT LISTENING to the SAE before passing judgement. Ya outta see the THD & N numbers on this. I'll post em next. Funny, but this a classic example of numbers having limited meaning. I have AB'd the Pig and the Spec 4 for a couple hours now, I'd take the pig anyday.....

You like the local plus global feedback that the PL has vs just the global feedback in the Spec4.

 

[laatsch55]

Somebody pinch me .....

 

[jbeckva]

Once WOPL'd, you can't go back...

Joe, I don't know if that's the reason, unless it's responsible for a better soundstage or "more realistic" presentation.... what the hell is it??? On paper the Spec should wipe the pigs ass!!

No Shit Jer......

Hell.. the specs on my M-80 (and that's STOCK, before the full recap I did plus the oversized cans in the back) call for .002 THD, .003 IMD, and a 20 - 20 response flat within .1 db. But what's powering my speakers right now, versus sitting on the floor behind me collecting dust??

Yeah Joe.. what the hell is it?? lol

 

[laatsch55]

Left channel......

 

[laatsch55]

You know exactly what I'm talkin about...

Jer look at that graph again, thats .0025 AT 80KHZ!! But I'd take the pig in a second!!!

 

[Gepetto]

I can probably make the PL sound as dry as the Spec or the M-80 if you want me to try

I have a Yammy too and I don't like it although it has great specs.

 

[laatsch55]

You hear the difference too!!

 

[Gepetto]

Sure
I can take the Crown off that I am listening to right now and plug in the idling PL400 and the music becomes more musical.

 

[laatsch55]

Music becomes more musical eh?? You'd think from a world class engineer you'd get something a little more descriptive....
