A biamp or triamp would be super cool.
Over 100. Altec and JBL range in that area 100-104db.

Re: Building a HiFi amp

I've used both the MX-110 and PAS-3X with a full double throw down vinyl setup. I found the McIntosh to be pretty flabby compared to the Dynaco. Just saying. If you are going to have a CD only setup it probably doesn't matter what you use for source and tone control. It's more important to pay atten...

Defy gravity. [img:500:411]http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd319/mailcmw/getalookatthis/cwglt080416-gravity-theory.jpg[/img] It takes a lot of trees to make the wind blow. My biggest bucket list item, now that I think of it, is to actually BE there, carefully hidden in the forest when the tree f...

Hang in Phil old buddy. I came to this exact place when I put my two friends down within 6 months of each other a few years ago. We're all dog people here I think.

<snippity>Yup--the white noise <snip> Mine has a high pitched whistle along with it. Mine has these little teensy ringing bells. Real high pitch tinkling like somebody beating on a cowbell about the size of a dime. No, the size of a pencil eraser...no maybe a bell like the size of a gnat maybe. Wha...

Re: Your Bucket List?

I've started three different airplanes. Two scratch built. Never finished those. I'm gonna finish this kit Zenith CH701 if it's the last thing I ever do. Get a 911 of some kind. Like about an '80 SC. Yeah, that's enough. I'd rather have about a '92 Mondial though. We'll see. That one may still happe...

Re: I piss myself off

What's a few extra chassis holes? Not such a big deal. Consider this: Those extra chassis holes are a badge of honor. They prove you kept working at it until you achieved perfection. No-extra-chassis-holes could be interpreted as a sign of laziness. :wink: I happen to agree strongly with this here....

Well Tom, let me put it like this. You know how you always feel just a little smarter after drinking a few beers? Well that's the way moving up to Mac makes you feel.

Re: Internet vs artists

I read a book once about headhunters in the Venezuela rainforest. The author got out there amongst them. Living off the land. Traipsing through the forest; lost most of the time. He was talking to an old timer about his early years when he enjoyed killing his neighbors for sport and profit. The inte...

Just speaker modeling software, vector graphic software, and maybe a couple of other things. The only web work ...
