  1. Au contraire! In my limited experience two standout as cleaner than your average bear. Engineers Thumb v.4+, Public Domain circuit, deetles here. ThorpyFX Fat General. https://thorpyfx.com/en-us/collections/thorpyfx-pedals/products/the-fat-general-parallel-compressor-copy
  2. This looks like something a Wookie would wield in sacred battle. UuuUUUUUUUGGGHH!!!!
  3. Ah! Shazam! I was approaching it like a Neanderthal. They're doing the signal manipulation in the Time Domain. Grabbing a snapshot over time, sweeping it for frequency content, then futzing with it in accordance to some algorithm they have variable control over and reinserting it into the signal path. Simple! Not at all intuitive. I can see why it gets him hard though. He gets to play with Math and SPEAKERS! “The Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) is a powerful mathematical tool used in audio analysis to break down complex audio signals into their individual frequency components. This process reveals the presence and magnitude of different sinusoidal waves (or tones) within the audio. By analyzing the frequency spectrum, engineers can gain insights into the characteristics of sounds, identify specific tones, and even analyze the quality of audio signal”
  4. Here’s what I’m not understanding about how this speaker works: My first impression is this is an open-baffle, 20way crossover, implemented in DSP, that uses the DSP to also massage out room and other effects on the signal reception by the listener. He places an omnidirectional mic at the seated position like a normal room correction software. More speakers would give more options over smaller frequency ranges= more precise control. Also means you could vary the crossover point among the entire stack and optimize for whatever variable you choose within those frequency ranges. That’s a standard crossover with RoomEQ albeit with 20 crossover points to determine. Done every day. Sometimes twice a day if you’re a real audiophile. The only real Mania is the number of speakers he has chosen to use. He harps on the problem of overshoot of the speaker cone stop/start due to inertia of the speaker’s moving parts. Ok, what does Fourier math have to do with relieving that? Does the selected speaker size follow some Fourier generated curve? Comb effects are very audible, so he has invented a huge problem that requires more DSP involvement to solve. If he generates a sine wave on the individual speakers and superimposes the signal on that, you would hear the carrier wave. If you generate the carrier wave over a frequency range in response to the incoming signal and superimpose the rest of signal on it, what is different from a standard crossover? And fuckman, at least make the magnet covers a cone like a good omnidirectional speaker reflector. To quote a deer fren. Buy a pair of Genelecs and be done with it. *** one other thought. Is not the very nature of a Fourier solution the summation of a series. Not a closed form solution, but one arrived at by summing a bunch of little solutions until you have enough to pass some critical error threshold. More DSP just to avoid errors induced by the math. Genelec, B&W, Wilson and other manufacturers have done this for you at well under a $100K.
  5. Preach! Now do V1. http://www.audiotubes.com/12ax7.htm
  6. What would have been stock on a 78 Special? And what color combination was it?
  7. Why not use the best parts available. You deserve it! Maybe it’s Maybelline!
  8. Saratoga Performing Arts Center along with about 10,000 others. Sat on the bridge entrance for hours watching everyone leave, or it coulda been minutes I dunno lsd does that to people.
  9. I have a bright RED Hamer 25th that has had the shit modded out of it. Full CorsaUSA bridge replacement, custom Carondelet A2 pups, local fret guru kissing and fondling… Did I mention it’s RED! Ha Ha It’s RED!
  10. EXCUSE ME! $17,999 plus Free Shipping! JBL 4344
  11. In case anyone was wondering, Windows 11 sucks!
  12. And buy my Guitars. Buy from JimsBub!
  13. Logitech has this cute little keyboard and mouse and BLUETOOTH USB transceiver for about $50 at Best Buy. Instantly identified by the MeLe. Add an HDMI cable into the TV and Viola! Look around the site. Many offerings of Very Small Devices.
  14. https://store.mele.cn/products/mele-quieter-hd3q-fanless-mini-pc-n5105-ddr4-windows11-pro-wi-fi-6-bt-5-2-usb-3-2-3-vga-type-c-dp-vesa-mount MeLe HD3Q 16GB Main Memory, 512GB SSD expandable to 5TB AND you can insert a SATA HDD up to 5TB. Very Small Celeron Computer with many IO ports. Was $240 on Amazon, now I can't seem to find it. The Quieter 4C is faster with more features for near the same price but no internal HDD capability, but the USB 3.0 is 10GB/s vs. SATA 6GB/s. Looking to maybe make it a NAS or a ROON Server. Lots to learn yet. Another $100 on Amazon gets you a 2TB 17mm thick 2-1/2 in SATA HDD that slots ever so nicely.
  15. Looky Here... https://reverb.com/item/86999756-near-mint-jbl-4312a-speakers-incredible-sound-1-year-warranty
  16. More photos and details available, just ask. 1996 Hamer Studio Custom, now with Gravelin Charlotte Pickups. $1800 shipped and insured CONUS PPF&F. The OEM Duncan’s (shown) will have to come out as they are needed to replace Gravelin’s. I have covers for the Zebra Gravelin’s. 1995 Hamer Wraptail Studio in nonemoreblue. FaberUSA bridge. Mk1, Mod3, Gregbuckers (original Gregwind recipe) from Carondelet Pickups. $1600 shipped and insured CONUS PPF&F. Yamaha Pacifica 904. HSS set based off Gravelin Charlotte bridge with SS to match. Warmoth neck, rewired PP neck/bridge with CTS pots. Large paint chip above the lower strap pin. $600 shipped CONUS PPF&F.
  17. I’ll chip in gas money! You need this amp.
  18. https://reverb.com/item/85464816-klipsch-cornwall-c-br-speaker-pair-local-pickup-only-in-milwaukee-wi?utm_source=rev-ios-app&utm_medium=ios-share&utm_campaign=listing&utm_content=85464816 I have heard both. The Cornwalls are way more flexible to arrange in a room. Deploy is more like it if you have any wattage driving them. Lucky Milwaukeeans!
