Przem's Phase Linear 700 Series II White Oak Conversion

An explanation is in order Przem....I have been hit with a surprise audit by our local Department of Transportation and will host said agency at my house next Tuesday. I have been shuffling paper like a madman and will up until the hour they arrive. No amp fixin till after that. I will eventually fall on my sword and beg leniency as that is the only thing that will save me....certainly not my files being in compliance....sorry Bud...
 
I feel for you Lee. I hate taxes, accounting and all that shit
 
The amount of paperwork required for a CDL driver and associated vehicles is insane...

I had a CDL in NY before my ex pulled her shit with the CS... my son-in-law is a CDL driver also. My daughter in law and him are going to Indiana to pick up a truck this week. He wants to go owner/operator now
 
He's fix in to get an education now. Unless he's been in that game for awhile he's gonna get his ass handed to him.

Lee, don't worry. My friend found the name for restoration projects that may take more time but by definition giving you a lot of fun - 'Slow HiFi'. Something like 'slow food' which becomes a fashion these days... So, take it easy!

By the way, what is the problem - your driving license had expired? Why do they come to your house? Or I didn't get you...

My company has 31 employees, 12 are commercial drivrers and therefore subject to federal hiway admin rules. And a lot of these rules require a piece of paper to prove you are following these rules...

Why Horns?
By Dr. Bruce Edgar
Edgarhorns

I remember hearing a very good horn loudspeaker for the first time in 1978. It was sheer magic to my ears. I could not believe the incredibly realistic sound that seemed to radiate effortlessly into the room. But when I talk to other audiophiles about horns, the reaction I hear is usually one of disgust. Like a bad hair day, everyone seems to have had a "bad horn" day.

Rich Weiner of "Bound for Sound" recently described his "bad horn" day. "As a neophyte audiophile, I once had the horrifying experience of listening to a friend's horn-based speaker system. "Killer equipment. You've never heard anything like it," he promised. Indeed I hadn't. I found myself sitting about six feet from a pair of Klipsch corner horns driven by Phase Linear 700 amps. My friend was right. I have never heard anything like it, although I understand that standing directly behind a 747 during takeoff is quite similar. Since that time I have avoided horn speakers."

Przem, nothing about my K's are stock. The most radical improvement was the "Universal" crossovers designed by Al Klappenberger, he's a filter genius, you can see his stuff at alkeng.com....

Very interesting article by Rod Elliott (ESP) on Public Address Systems for Music Applications -> http://sound.westhost.com/articles/pa.htm

Almost all large concerts now are using line arrays for the PA system. These have become very popular, and even very small ones are available for smaller venues. While I know that many people will disagree, I consider the line array to be an unmitigated disaster in most cases. Those that I've heard all sound (often radically) different from each other, but they all share one thing - they generally sound bloody awful. Coupled with bizarre thinking about how they should be set up in the first place, the only ones I've heard so far that sounded even passable were in relatively small clusters (4 per side), and were situated high above the stage area. Contrast this with the glowing comments you may see elsewhere - a lot of people think that the line array is the best thing since sliced bread, and will wax lyrical about how they have solved all PA problems.

I'll pretend I never read this bit…...

Quite controversial, I agree... I've heard perfectly well sounded arrays during Aussi Pink Floyd, Skunk Anansie or Seal concerts. To me headroom is the key on large venues...

The key to his credibility of that reviewer reverts to this one parting statement he makes, and I quote:

"I've not had the opportunity to mix a live band through a line array, but I suspect that it would be possible to get a good sound from an average size array."

…. and ironically enough, it contradicts everything he said in his previous rant.

He can throw as many facts and figures, and quote as many formulas as he wants. It all goes out the window once you're the man behind the desk….
 
Now, I'm a horn guy, but the Nexo's I've head at the last 2 concerts have been nothing short of amazing....
