Congratulations white collar mang. And congratulations to you too mr. promotion Thanks. Funny thing for me is I get promoted and now I don't have to wear a tie. I used to everyday, but since I will be doing a lot of work in Detroit they'd hang me there if I wore one.

We might have to do something to fix that.

Sweet, I look forward to hearing some Fi gear.

Sorry I can't help with the Mag in Switzerland, but nice install and welcome on board.

Nice, but first hand would be better

<-- gone for a few days, but almost no posting to catch up on

Good to hear about the tie, they aren't fun to wear.

Congratulations white collar mang.

At some point I will still have to go that way, it won't be quite as fast though.

time to catch the plane *boo*

Effin' hilarious.

I suppose I should add that I just got promoted. Only one step down from the President now. Also took over control of the Detroit area so I will be spending a bunch of time doing NVH consulting with the automotive manufacturers.

Eff the antenna on the windshield. Package deal ftw!

If you are doing this active you will have no problem; however, passive it may not be great. The reason being is that an elliptical crossover is typically a LR crossover with a notch filter. These are both tuned to the impedance of the circuit so if you change the impedance the zobel and the crossover may no longer line up and therefore create a strange response. If you are running that many drivers that are capable of playing beyond the frequency range that you require I would stick with a more simple crossover design.

Welcome.

Aaron, thanks for teasing me with that Mc. I hope I don't buy it

Hmm, it left out my post it seems and just added the quote. I had a noise problem that 95% went away when I changed the polarity of the plug. I just built an extension cable that switched the two AC leads of the power. It didn't go away but went from unlistenable to barely noticeable.

Ground loop? I don't want to go back to school tomorrow With my True Sub and Adcom amp I had to actually switch the plug polarity as well. I just "made" an extension cord to switch the black & white leads from in the house the other way. It didn't eliminate the whole loop but made something super obnoxious almost unhearable. I'm not sure wtf it is, it could be a ground loop, but in the cable from the xbox to my XLR to RCA cables?? It dosen't show up in my computer hooking up to it, or the cd player hooked up to it so I'm clueless when it comes to this. Could always start plugging things into cheater plugs, if the noise goes away you know it's a loop. Other than that, don't really know what could cause it...I had a nasty hum with the Decware CSP pre, but I found out my power amp was hypersensitive to AC filament hum, ended up selling the pre Whats a cheater plug?? I'm stupid here on this aspect. But Hooking the xbox straight up to the preamp dosen't work, and hooking the xbox up to the tv and then the TV to the pre dosen't work either. Nasty humming either way, but through a computer or CD player works. Basically a three-prong to two-prong adapter. Getting rid of the third wire often times breaks the ground loop, but I'd only use it for testing because running grounded gear without a ground is asking to get bit by 120VAC if anything ever goes wrong.

I've seen them for less than $20, but they are real chitty.

You know, I put no basis on Scott's accomplishements in SQ. IASCA is SO political it's not even funny. I have no doubt he makes a great product and is a great guy, but ah, screw it. I'm just sick of seeing people cry. Grow some balls. How'd you like sifting through that mess? Funny thing is, I never put much emphasis on graphs either. I have seen one too many drivers plot chitty in many areas, yet enjoyed the way they sound. NP knows what he is talking about and described the sound of the driver. Simple as that. The sifting was actually sort of fun; however, it did change my respect levels for a few people....and not NP. His evaluations and service are great for the DIY enthusiast and of course measurements are just that, measurements everyone is really looking for what subjectively sounds the best but the information he posts gives you at least part of the picture.

See you guys next week, I am leaving the pc at home and off to San Diego for work. I sure hope that NWA doesn't strike before I get home on Monday.
