Cal: 'ooking good on yer! And I bet there are times you would kill for one!

Earlier yes but not now. Sometimes at work I'll find a crew on their break and everyone of them has one lit. Doesn't faze me anymore. And no I'm not a reformed smoker type, all righteous and whatnot. Just happy that I kept my word to my wife that once I turned 50, that was it.

THey say your lungs return to 75% of their normal state within 6 months. I would think that you could tell a difference in how you feel, day today, especially doing something vigorous, like lugging around Altec horns.

I hate Altec

 

[buzzforb]

SOmeone told me these were the cats pajamas when it comes to ALtec 604 crossovers. Lyn Olsen is also a big proponent of using autoformers in his loudspeakers.

 

[Zen Mod]

use TinyUrl or something similar

autoformers , yes , but aircored
soon to have one in Tann xover

IN new horn rig, I am considering driving the horn with F2J. THis reverses ervything in the crossover so will using autoformers still be an option?

I am confused. Why would one go that route when you can buy an active XO for a lot less.

 

[buzzforb]

Why do we do any of the things we do in audio? I guess some might say they like the sound of this setup more. His crossovers have a bit of a following with some saying that it drastically changed/improved the sound. Who knows with audio people.

Because active is cheating

 

[Cal Weldon]

Uh-oh, I'm in trouble.

They said that when those fancy calculator thingy's came out too..... After awhile my slide ruler was rusty and my book's of tables were being used to prop open doors.....

The dachshunds are all fat and sassy and I'm still looking for dead ancestors.... Those that aren't dead yet don't need to worry - I'm not even close to running out of 'em....

An on-topic post, making it off-topic for this thread.

Once upon a time, or maybe twice, there was an unearthly paradise named Pepperland. At that time, or maybe later, (I'm not quite sure), Papa posted a simple little schematic for a fan speed reducer with a kick starter. I have searched unsuccessfully for it, and now grovel in gravel hoping someone remembers and can point me to it. Thanks.

 

[Cal Weldon]

Hi Mars, if the boyz in da pub can't help maybe make a thread and ask Papa direct?
