Yup, any model from any company with low Qts has a tendency to model weird in any modelling program (as the framework for each program is the thiele/small models developed decades ago). Low Qts drivers do, in fact, require smaller enclosures to achieve the same alignment as higher Qts drivers (as a general rule). Actually, I should clarify: they don't model weird...they model right on target. But you don't hear what you modelled because of the transfer function of your vehicle or home. A large peak in response can disappear or be minimized in the vehicle...likewise, flat response is very rarely flat when moved over. You have to realize that the thiele/small model is really designed to approach the equivalent high-pass filter that the enclosure represents....use for anything beyond that is a bit limited.

Really tired but want some sweet and sour ribs and rice before I go to bed.

I don't think Americans have to pay duty either...I've never heard that once and I've shipped a lot of stuff to the US. I don't know what the fuck that is about but it sure as hell isn't your responsibility to cover those costs for him....if it were, I'd have a lot more money than I do.

I'm still up for a trip if that's the plan.

I would prefer to call it Palmela Handerson...at least it could be compared to a real, relatively attractive person. I think the girlfriend and I might be getting married this winter but I suppose that's up to me.

that was random lol There was an attractive black chick sitting beside me that was being friendly. I would have asked her out if I didn't have a girlfriend but, alas, I do.

sounds like a good goal to me my goal is an asian, more about this later :-D You want an Americanized Asian...trust me.

Yeah, I dunno wtf was up with that.

I want to have sex with a black woman before I die.

Have you had a listen yet?

I'd probably get the W200 then, if I was in your position.

Some of the absolute worst news today...did my appointment to check my hearing and somewhere in the last 3 years I have lost too much bandwidth on the top end...trouble hearing anything above ~17 kHz. The bottom end is still there, but my heart sank a lot when I got the news.

The W200 is a gateway to the H701...your choice.

Lululemon....lol.

Ditto, Scott. But there are still a lot of dummies up here who haven't figured out winter driving yet....after an entire life-time in Saskatchewan.

Impressive to say the least.

Thanks Can I pick your physics knowledge about turntable stands? With the damn springy floor that I've got in the apartment...going wall-mounted would be ideal if not for damaging the wall Of course you can. OK, given my really less-than-perfect environment (3rd floor, carpeted floors, no wall mounting available), how would you suggest building a stand to best prevent outside vibrations from affecting the 'table? I've seen roughly two camps on this, one seems to be using a very light stand that's spiked to the floor, the other involves just getting as much mass as possible and putting the turntable on top of that. I'm no expert in any way but it seems to me the approaches are saying: 1. Remove mass to push the frequencies at which the stand resonates into a higher passband, or 2. Add mass to push the frequencies at which the stand resonates into a lower passband. I would guess that adding mass is a better approach. The amplitude of the resonant frequencies is decreased as mass is added and the passband is pushed down (much like adding mass to a door panel or layers to an enclosure). It seems to me that a large, heavy stand would be much more effective. But Sean might have some different ideas.

I need to get some sonotube, too, in the interest of fun. I watched "The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters" for the first time tonight. Interesting....

I have to be cautious. I was sent free drivers from the folks at TC Sounds so I don't want to overstep my boundaries too much but I have a few emails confirming what Kevin from One-Magnet is saying. And Kevin's email that he forwarded to me from Thilo looks 100% authentic.

This TC Sounds thing is getting fucked quickly. You guys should see the emails I have.

If they're a buildhouse, that sounds about right.

Hmmm, what is this? http://www.ascendantaudio.net/

It's more like "Wow, look at her, I've never seen a real boob before. Let's get drunk and fight each other! Dude, your clothes aren't new enough." Maybe they actually are smart but you wouldn't know it to hear them talk.

For a university, there sure are a lot of idiots in here. I think I need to change the way I dress because I look too similar to these characters.
