    Are room acoustics better on smaller speakers?

    I have big and little speakers in this room. As far as the room is concerned, I think they both exhibit the same general set of problems, mostly down low. No EQ The little ones (wide dispersion vs narrow) interact with the walls and ceiling much more, causing this "hash" on an unsmoothed...

    Uh huh! They're congregated along the top of the curve. It's us folks at the edges that are hiding.

    Soaring

    Yeah, It's fun. I suppose I have something of an addictive personality, find something I like and can't get enough of it. Quite a few people come through the club, join, pay, and then you barely see them again. Had a traveller from Ireland who joined for a month, but he's departed in a...

    Soaring

    Wednesday was a "Blue Day". Not a cloud in the sky, just some distant "smog", the top of which pretty much indicates the absolute limit of lift above ground. Launch to 2000 feet into a blue sky at 1:32pm, and the first few hundred feet of a strong thermal we ran through just before release...

    Spyware In Cars - It's Worse Than You Think

    I tried to move a Nissan Leaf at the airport, the "fob" was in the seat. Couldnt figure it out. Later he said "you have to step on the brake".

    Spyware In Cars - It's Worse Than You Think

    Oh yeah, the gauges are "data driven", no doubt. There's no "pushbutton start" so the key does that job too. There's a "hidden" key lock for the electric trunk unlocker, and I found the secret release lever for the electric fuel door.

    McIntosh Transformer causing noise in speakers while disconnected.

    I didn't see anyone take the MP4 into Audacity, clip out the extraneous noise, save as WAV, and drag into an REW RTA. Gives a clearer picture of the buzz

    Spyware In Cars - It's Worse Than You Think

    Looked up Toyota's (Lack of ) Privacy statement... I have a 2023 Camry. It still has mechanical gauges, and a real key (though attached to a necessary fob). Seen it report up to 45mpg on my 20 miles of I-75 and 23 miles of get to the highway and two-lane highway going to the Airport...

    Woofer phase and speaker position

    I would endeavor to put the speakers equidistant from the listening position to maintain a proper stereo image and response of the higher frequencies Black, at the center of the couch and equidistant from the speakers. Blue, at one end of the couch, so one speaker is closer than the other...

    A millennial's rant on classical music

    Soaring

    Just curious to see if/how the blood oxygen levels change at the altitudes I fly.. Supplemental oxygen is required over 12,000 feet, which is very unlikely to be reached here in flatland Florida. The highest I've seen was near 7,000 feet.

    Soaring

    Chasing another glider, same model as mine, for a while Sunday afternoon. The clouds weren't high, 3000 feet and rising to 4000 late in the afternoon, but they were pretty dependable for lift. Good enough for 3 1/2 hours, anyway.

    Soaring

    Loaded a barometer into the phone, set it for PSI, being curious how the atmospheric pressure decreases with height in units I can understand. Minimum around 4,000 feet Sunday, 12.8PSI Next I'll take a little finger clip Oximeter that tests blood oxygen level, when I remember to take it.
