Really Boring Stuff Only III: Resurrection

I'm only using 15 of them though. Life is about balance.

Wow that's more than the 12 I'm using.

Wait are we counting receivers too? Then I'm up to 30 amp channels. Using, 20 of them. 32 if we count the little SMSL amp. Actually lemme look in the closet....

Why not just dump the LMS's and UXL's, and get another pair of FTW's? Ohh, and don't forget the HPF at 30Hz to protect your hearing

The cab requirements on the FTW's are too much to fit 4 in the basement. Plus if I dumped the UXL's and LMS's I could probably afford 4 more FTW's for a total of 6. It's intriguing, but that's a bit more building than I care to do ATM. Maybe next summer. Unless I build the Maximus 12's to replace the Triline's.

I can send him an address for proper disposal of those drivers.

Well depending on how the GF reacts to the FTW's showing up unannounced. I may be able to send everything your way

That just means you build up. A vertically oriented DO box is probably more than even you would want to deal with, but you could take a modular approach and build the boxes to be stacked.

I've already got the LMS stacked and I'm gonna have to build the FTWs dual opposed and stack the UXLs on top. How much higher you want me to go

0 Higher If you get rid of those puny 18s, and build two vertically oriented DO cabs for the FTWs, you'd take up maybe 28x28" worth of floor space times two, maybe 4 feet tall.

Hey you leave my 18's alone. Besides who would want to buy these old things?

My family and friends accuse me of being obsessed with audio, I should show them the last doze or so posts in this thread to show them what real obsession looks like.

On a different note, my Panny PJ is telling me to replace the bulb - again. I've already reset the timer once. I imagine if I changed the bulb, I might see a difference in brightness, since the bulb has 5000+ hours on it. The picture still looks fine to me though, so I think I'll reset the timer again. The PJ came with a spare bulb, so if it dies, I'm prepared.

Depends on how much you're charging I can make a similar offer that I did for Adam's old Emo amp: $50 PLUS a couple bags of lentil chips.

The only thing you have to be careful of is the bulb shorting or bursting when it reaches "the end". It's fairly rare as far as I can tell, but I had something in the original Epson bulb when I had the Epson PJ do something not great that left the interior of the glass singed and black when it finally died.

Somehow I don't think that's going to get me to the FTW nirvana you're selling

 

[Rickster71]

I think we should flood Adam's PM's with shirtless photo's of ourselves.

Please ... keep your bottoms on.

Somehow I don't think that's going to get me to nirvana.

Speak for yourself...

Just paid for the FTW's. Unfortunately for me the CAD gained since the beginning of the GB, but oh well. Still got a pretty good deal.

I figured they'd be too high to notice...

Oh they notice. Mark is considering redesigning the UXL a little and also raising the price on everything to account for the weakening dollar. Although if things stay the way they're going he may not need to.

Hey @Adam did you brother ever get his hybrid valve amplifier?

Hey, Fuzz. He hasn't, yet, but he said that the DACs just came in - and he ordered one of those, too.

I ordered the DAC version as well. I know Martin had said he would post an update this weekend on the DAC models, but hadn't seen one yet. Technically he's already into Monday I think so he missed his weekend update AFAIK.

Just curious cuz I've sent the Martin (the guy who started this) a couple messages, but never got a response.

Thanks.

 

[fuzz092888]

Oy, Mark is killing me with all the mods he's thinking of making to the UXL.
