Dinny, how hot do the 9L get? I'm thinking about sticking them in an enclosed space (well, sorta enclosed)

You totally beat me to this one. I think it should also require morse code be used.

I'm not sure I agree. The extra heat will go into the tubes, sure, but that will raise the ambient temperature considerably. Look how the tubes are recessed. Agreed that the pass device takes a bit of abuse as is, but these things seem to run on the brink of instability as getting rid of all that heat is hard. Granted, there is a lot of ventilation, but my experience what happens is that the tubes heat up the MOSFETs and the ambient temperature of the heat sink and things seem to just cook from there.

I think Tice would........ Agree?

I hate to see what you ask once you decide to try and get laid for the first time.

Tipperary Cocktail (No. 1) 1/3 Italian Vermouth. (1/2 oz Carpano Antica) 1/3 Green Chartreuse. (1/2 oz Green Chartreuse) 1/3 Irish Whisky. (1 oz Bushmill’s 10 Year Single Malt, 1/4 oz Gordon & MacPhail Highland Park 8 Year) Shake (I stirred) well and strain into cocktail glass. Got as close as I could to the above, no scotch though.

Triomphe Cocktail 1 1/2 oz Vodka 3/4 oz Lemon Juice 1/2 oz Yellow Chartreuse 1/2 oz 1-1 Simple Syrup Shake well with ice and strain into a cocktail glass. Any takers?

It doesn't matter. A functional amp always sounds better than one that is broken because it has overheated. Either use it as is or sell it. Regardless, there is no fucking reason for you to keep posting here.

THE LOWER VOLTAGE SETTING WAS USED ON PURPOSE IN ORDER TO KEEP THE AMOUNT OF HEAT IN CHECK THAT THE DESIGN PRODUCES. DON'T MESS WITH IT, IT WORKS AND SOUNDS GREAT.

Time delay isn't used to correct phase as he implied. Also, an active crossover isn't FAR better than a passive first order crossover in terms of phase.

DING DING DING!!!

depends what you mean by "needed"... anyways, I disagree with all those choices.

actually, I never had problems removing the enamel coating. Just use the largest tip you have and max wattage and it comes right off.

then replace it do you also understand what heat sinks are required for it to run at spec?

real DIYers have solder pots. noob.

ok, hold my hand now... that means the PSU is working as it was configured.

Well, not really, Tyll. I was using the word "control" in the same context as Dreadhead did. You can very much choose order which results in non-linearities without really caring what the resulting curve is, when building a passive crossover. You might not like what you have to do in terms of driver choice, or time alignment, but it's doable (btw, driver choice is perhaps even more critical in a DSP scenario, that's why the people that Dreadhead mentioned above contact out their driver design). In a DSP scenario, like Dreadhead mentioned, this is harder. You have to actually control the curve itself in order to deal with the non linearities that the system itself inserts into the chain.

Just measure the voltage across each Zener.

I dont need to control phase, I just want it to be without nonlinearites. Even if you needed to, which I argue you don't, there is an analog limitation with DSP: you cannot control impedance response with DSP. However, this is a very useful thing to control in speaker design.

Sure it can, just like you can do both happily without DSP. It all comes down to implementation. People typically cite DSP as a cure all and have never sat down and actually done it to understand the challenges associated in getting it done right.

It's the truth

Nope. Digital isn't some panacea, it has it's own share of issues. Time delay isn't the same as phase coherence, are you sure you understand what you're talking about?

This has it's own issues. Many drivers don't work well with slow slopes, so they don't integrate well, so you really need custom drivers I'd you go this route, something that isn't available to most of us.

A bit of Royal Canadian

Perhaps the better question is what is the output impedance range of the attenuator. Regardless, should be fine looks like a good implementation.
