Happy Birthday!

Not such a good idea to use another drivers passive crossovers and replace things. If you are 100% sure that the crossover is at X frequency, based on Y impedance, and has no extra tapering/l-padding/filtering then you "could" but the likely hood of it sounding good isn't so much. You can measure the crossovers or dissect the signal path and reverse engineer them to pick a driver, but personally I'd just not use those passives and either run the set active or buy the replacements for the set.

I know this is almost out of context, but it is a good leading point and the exact reason I answered like I did the first time. The user hasn't told us what he wants to control (ie doesn't understand what anomalies he needs to fix) therefore a recommendation of an EQ is dubious and will generally result in a fail as it won't be implemented at all for its intended purpose. If there was something to tame, fix, a staging concern or even a general need in his original post then the answer could be very different. Based on what we've seen so far it will just give him knobs to turn which may be fun (and then okay if fun is the goal) but won't help his system.

Not really. An EQ generically speaking is used to compensate for install anomalies. The goal of having a flat EQ is not having one so that is fine, but then don't bother to install it if you can get by without. On top of that anomalies are such that an EQ really should only be used for cuts and not boost. With every rule there are exceptions but that one I'd try to adhere to as much as possible. As for the left/right be the same; never in a car unless you have a McLaren or other vehicle that is symmetric and you sit in the middle. Anomalies aren't uniform so why would the EQ be? Pre-requisite for me is independent L/R otherwise I am not interested in the EQ at all. And it also has NOTHING to do with paying attention to your crossover.

Spilled water on my ergo keyboard yesterday so I am now using a normal one, it SUCKS

*whores

Night crew shores

Wow, you guys post a lot

Better than checking nut heads

99 out of a 100 times it will make your system sound worse and all due to user error. I couldn't agree more that if you are asking the question then you shouldn't get it.

It worked....if you actually went. Hell even their hamburgers are good Could always get out of there for $55 though. I'll have the Ribeye and a water. No sir, I don't need any sides. I realize it comes ala carte but vegetables are for rabbits.

Come on over! Sounds like a good road trip. Getting ready to eat. <-- jelly Although I am going to grill the summers first Vidalia Onion, first corn on the cob, and a big ass Porterhouse Damn that sounds super good! I'd rather have Japanese. What are you going to order?

Is this written in another language? Engrish! Espresso - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Espresso Burr - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burr_grinder Crema - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crema_%28coffee%29#crema Ristretto - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ristretto

Come on over!

Sometimes when you post I'm angry and elated in a 50/50 mix. 100% jelly though. WINNER grinder it sounds like. Epic deal on it too. you mad a meez?

Just pulled my first espresso with the new burr's installed in the grinder. H E L L O Crema! Normally a shot should take about 5 seconds to start flowing and then 22-28 sec to make 60ml (double). At 40 seconds I finally saw my first drop. I guess this grinder can pull a ristretto! Loosened it up a few notches and BAM, crema. Two espresso's and a cappucino later and I am needing some water.

Which is something that they rarely eat in Japan. Once a month perhaps. I love it. I would eat it daily if the cost and convience matched up for me. Fuck, then go to Coastal, grab 3 oz of 4 different fish they recommend from today's sashimi choices and then go home and have chirashi.

If you are by me, Yumi's. Best bang for the buck in town for sushi. They cut things THICK.

Close to you, I'd probably go hit Sakura in St. Paul. Started by a chef that Kikugawa flew over out of sushi school that never went home after his apprenticeship here. Pretty authentic and good. The Saji Ya is more than acceptable as well and just off Grand. Other than that the Fuji Ya off Lake in Mpls is great as well. Kikugawa used to be, went down hill, and supposedly has climbed back up but I haven't been there in more than 10 years. Amusingly it was our first sushi restaurant in Minny and my Uncle is the one that filled/helped/negotiated with the Japanese on that whole mall. Used to get comped stuff there like crazy.

Their name is dumass

I have spent many weeks in Japan and know what it should taste like and this place gets it close enough. Traveling for work I pay nothing, just use the card. Ah, sweet. I love Japan and in particular on someone elses dime

Different logo indeed. Eaten at a few different Ichibans related to ours and never been impressed. Menu looks the same, but perhaps the food is much better. Ignore my other post, I thought it was the chain you were going to

What about: Maki Yaki Okinawa II Tokyo Diner Wegmans Fuji & Jade Garden And if those are too far, http://www.famwok.com/fwjm.html , doesn't look like the Japanese menu has all that many options but I could surely order a variety of things off their menu.
