The Malibu is home....and now I fly to Japan. So many projects pre-launch to.

I almost did that lasr night on my own :-)

And now, I'm going to bed fast. Goodnight. Thanks again Neal. I can't wait to use it!!

edouble is typing teh slow

Unless they are fucking she-men

I'll buy a ticket

And when lesbians go wild.....

Just dropped my laptop...thought it was permanently dead

And found nothing!

I left to see what else was new.

Not touching that thread, but: Headroom isn't so you can eq. Just like everything in life running things at full throttle push boundaries. Avoiding those extremes is a good idea. Your point is valid, but if you add +3dB you no longer have headroom... Actually the goal of an eq is to remove anomalies. A perfect amp will play exactly what is put into it (ie, flat) a perfect speaker as well. Sometimes this isn't the case though. Conveniently your ear and brain aren't so good at discerning little details when they are masked in the rest of the music a peak well above the normal level though will be seriously noticeable. EQ is a tool to remove these artificial peaks or anomalies. Pretty much these are always cuts. There are exceptions based on when you've made other compromises, but you should not design a system that will require boost at the same time it is impossible to design a system that doesn't need cuts. Your comment isn't that far off though as it is still a good idea to understand that and also not boost for that reason if you are running on the hairy edge. Of course those that run hairy couldn't hear the distortion anyways

What's funny is edouble has had a post he's been writing now for nearly 10 pages

wtf???

of water

4L in fact

I did actually drink a fair amount tonight.

I have enough audio resistors laying around to do it to. Just can't exceed 10v on the spectrum analyzer inputs. O-scope can take a lot more but seeing clipping in a waveform is crap compared to looking at the FFT and measuring the amplitude of the harmonics.

Do it. I wonder if they'd call foul if I use a voltage divider so I could measure ALL the harmonics and distortion as well. Do not matter if it is done properly. And the LD does nothing for most people but they ALL recommend them.

And nope, 100% sober I am

Took me a minute to even catch that.

Ha, wrong kind of boss.

I probably should sleep....but I'm on WC time now.

I could just use the smaller amp and I'll be fine, but I'd rather use the one I'm actually driving the fun speakers with. Suppose I could measure SPL from the sub at the same time. Give me a reason to pull my Bruel & Kjaer shit out of my closet.
