After a rather unsatisfactory listening session yesterday evening, I began to suspect the Sony home cinema amp I was using for testing (I needed 4 channel input from the miniDSP). Therefore, this morning I have rigged up a pair of Sure TPA3116 class D amp modules in a monoblock type configuration. V...

Good info Fretless. I must investigate further!

One of the few contemporary bands worth keeping an eye on: The National 'I Am Easy To Find' https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81dZJ8En1AL._SS500_.jpg Back with a new and gorgeous album that strokes you gently inside and then pierces you to the core. Their best since 'Boxer' Enchanting. "I Am...

Well done chaps! This is seriously good news. If there's anything useful a retired business school lecturer like me can contribute, please give me a shout. My specialist area was strategic information systems with a bit of e-commerce thrown in. I've temporarily forgotten most of what I knew and thin...

That Stabat Mater is a masterpiece and deserves to be more widely known.

That's the version I was listening to! I'm rather fond of Arvo Part & a bit of Henryk Górecki too.

The development baffles are now made. They have adjustable wings to help determine whether a standard baffle or a U frame, or something in between works best. Drivers installed. The miniDSP has been configured with a 4th order LR XO @ 160hz on both drivers. I have applied a 5db cut to the full range...

Karol Maciej Szymanowski - Stabat mater. Utterly stunning.

Excellent post DSJR. Indeed, it's perfectly reasonable to claim that the case for leaving was actually understated in the referendum campaign.

The British Constitution is about checks and balancs in respect of the three powers. It is clear that the Executive over stepped the mark yesterday. The Judicary could deem what happened illegal. I have an O level in British Constitution and it has not all been forgotton 44 years on. Does my Econom...
