Impious

Oh snap! That's coming up here soon. It's about 3.5hrs away from me. Probably won't go both days as I have no $$ for a hotel (unless someone wants so shack me up for free ), but probably make it over for one of those days. Just to spectate and meet people. I'm sure Kinetik will be there aswell (seeing as how OH is their home state), so I'd imagine Audiolife will be there aswell. Also, I believe the Rl-s will be in the IN/OH area around those dates....someone may get to bring 'er along and show her off I'm supposed to have it sometime early Oct....if I have it in my possession it'll definitely be along for the ride. KC is too far for me.....won't be going to that. Though USAC/IASCA would be the finals I'd prefer to catch as I'm more of an SQ guy myself.

I was just thinking about this the other day. I just may toss 'er in IB.....I'm not entirely sure yet. But if I get the time to set it up I will. Plus IB would work better with my limited power. I don't know....we'll see

<<----- 666 You got me before my edit http://forum.elitecaraudio.com/showthread....05&pagenumber=6 start reading at werewolf's posts. It explains better and has some nifty math involved.

Okay...I think I get it. In short; Since music is recorded at something less than 0db (generally in the vicinity of -6db), by using the standard 0db test tone to set the amplifier gains we end up using much less of the amplifiers available power for a given volume setting. So if we set everything prior to the amplifier for maximum unclipped output with a 0db (simple terms; it will never clip with music) and then *increase* the amplifier gains to compensate for the decreased recording level we have the best mix of unclipped signals and maximum power output from the amplifier for a given volume setting. The amplifier *may* clip with this setting....but due to the short time period of the event, we will hardly ever hear it and the effects won't be damaging to the equipment (i.e. no blown speakers). My interpretation sound right to anyone else?? However, this works contrary to standard SNR theory, where you want the gain in your system as early as possible rather than later since each device in the chain not only adds it's own noise to the system, but also amplifies the noise from the previous components. According to what I've read previously, the method RC and DN recommend would result in the worst SNR, I believe, since all of the system gain is in the power amplifier. Here is a quote: http://forum.elitecaraudio.com/showthread....05&pagenumber=7

Well, I haven't read the links yet. But, going by your post Nick, he's basically saying that due to the dynamics in music you want a more powerful amp with a lower gain setting (-10db rather than 0db, resulting in less output from the amp compared to it's maximum available output) so that the amp won't clip when it encounters these very dynamic transients ?? Close?? But that doesn't seem right....because then wouldn't the preamp equipment still be clipping since they aren't set using the -10db test tone? Oh well...off to read those other links before I get totally confused..... Wait....now I feel like an idiot. If you used a -10db setting, the amp gain would be higher, not lower. So now my entire post doesn't makes sense....... *goes to read links*

Yeah...I don't understand the 3:1 ratio myself. Would be nice if you (I...someone in general) could find more info on the rational behind it. Dave Navone is a trustworthy source, I'd generally listen to what he has to say.....but this one doesn't make sense in my simpleton mind.

I didn't have time to browse through the past few pages so I didn't bother replying. Just giving you chit

How so ?

Ever think that it could just be coincidence that the majority of people breaking the law in your area are black? Hence, the majority of the time you see someone in handcuffs, they're black. No, but every time a "colored" person is pulled over/arrested it isn't because of racial profiling. Yes, it happens. But it doesn't need to be the constant excuse, and isn't the case in every circumstance.

Screw you guys, I'm going home [/cartman]

That's right, I saw you you sneaking little man....

Steve came in to visit, but apparently doesn't want to talk to me

to having to work tommorrow morning

to one less hour of work

Ohhhh.....I forgot I get to leave at 5:00 today rather than 6:00
