How many keyboards have you gone through ? Don't make me post a picture of yor keyboard's..

Never mind, Illusus, I've decided to go with steel. Hopefully it won't be the wrong decision.

 

[Illusus]

Buahahaha...mention one button and the hash starts flying. That's some good ribbin'.

Howard, no problem. Steel...man, that must be one frustrating game you plan on playing.

 

[454Casull]

With steel, I can get a guaranteed fit with the snap-in buttons. Besides, the screw-in buttons cost more.

As soon as I can, I'll order a couple pairs of the Aura drivers, and put together a preliminary version of the flat pack, I have some good ideas for making the assembly quick and fool-resistant. The alignment won't matter too much yet...it can be finalized down the road...These will most likely be sealed. When they're done I'll send them off to Dave for critique...maybe they can be passed around.

Sounds like a plan

Solid. It may take a couple weeks...at best. I'll get Madisound to ship quick. (btw...you see Madisound's new format? much better)...

Dave, i've meant to mention that I really like the planetsofta logo, very clever. All you?

 

[Illusus]

The Aura drivers are ultimately cheaper for Canadians at Solen.ca - $22cad, no duties and cheaper, quicker shipping.

My adaptation of a real designers work (paid him a pair of speakers for it -- the planet_10 logo is much closer to the original).

[Illusus]

oops...the planet 10 logo is the one I was thinking of in the first place...I had softa on my mind, fun to say. Honestly, i never noticed the softa one.
The lunar 10 edges it out, sorry

FYI
Quasi-anechoic frequency response for the Aurasound in the little TL cabinet. This is using a BSC circuit consisting of a .7mH inductor and 8 ohm resistor. I don't use one at my desk because I get a boost from the wall and the desktop but for regular use the BSC is recommended.

That is pretty close to the sim

excellent

[Timn8ter]

Yes it is. I hooked it up to my regular stereo and started pushing it hard with some stand-up bass and it started mucking up the vocals but I'm sure I was close to the 90db area at that point.

At those levels with any bass you should be exceeding the xmax by at least a bit

[Timn8ter]

More than a bit. Interesting vocal effects

 

[planet10]

More than a bit.

 

[Illusus]

Thanks for the info Tim.

Super Baltic Birch

Hi,

I just joined the forum and saw your post from several years ago. Did you still have any of this "super" baltic birch? I am making a couple of the Bill Fitzmaurice "David" speakers and it sounds like the perfect material. I know shipping might be a little steep, but perhaps it could be cut before shipping (?)--I'm in NC (USA). Not sure what size you have, but supposedly the design needs two 5x5 sheets for each one (four 5x5 for two, to clarify). If yours is a different size, I could calculate what I'd need.

Hope it's not too cold up there in Saskastoon--my grandfather was in the Canadian Army in Medicine Hat, so I have a feeling what the winters are like!

Regards,
Eric
