I've measured a few drivers in my day and this is definitely true. After around 24 hours of 10-20Hz the driver is pretty much ready to measure and simulate. For example, assuming you're talking about a nice Danish driver, things become real stable after this period. Given good mic calibration and good software, the predicted graphs get frighteningly close to the measured response once it's all said and done. Even measuring 6 months - 12 months later, things don't change all that drastically. Dunno about the cheaper drivers where the QA/QC process is not all that stable/

perhaps what you're thinking about is after loudspeaker break in, the individual Thiel-Small parameters vary (often a lot), but the the ratios of said parameters always stay pretty much in step.

hey, did you get the numbers off those chips? Just curious if they're BB INAxxx devices.

so basically, it's used for galvanized isolation.

probably they were forced to, due the massive amount of power lines in that general vicinity.

If you guys have any old classical records, please let me have them before you subject them to this steam torture.

what is the part number on the BB chips in the last picture, near the output coupling caps (i.e. IC727)? There are four of them. Opamps / Buffers perhaps?

same reason... lots of grill cloth.

just hang the MMGs from the ceiling. Do a search around, many people have done this (including myself). Having owned both of these models, why aren't you considering the MG12s?

sorry... it's about the best gin I've found around these parts. I'm not a huge gin drinker as I've had a few bad encounters with it

If I can be of any assistance on the Austin end, feel free to contact me.

what do you think of Old Raj?

TMI!

It would be like Spritzer saying that he found a mod that makes a SR-404 sound better than the SR-007. With his reputation, he could pull it off and charge $500 or so for the mod, and $1000 for the same mod if he got a HE-90 fan boy to collaborate and say that they kill the HE-90 as well.... a few weeks ago, if the mods could slay the HeAudio it would have been worth $750 or so..... now, that would be a strike against the whole plan probably.... anyways, I'm rambling again, aren't I?

best bang for your buck? Easy. Vandersteen 2ce signatures. Spend the rest on gear, music, and appropriate libations.

me too I demand a re-vote will all centuries and decades accounted for!

so, is the 00 choice is 1900s or 2000s? I'm confused

so, all centuries are fair game? okay, thanks, bye.

genetic algorithms?

sorry, what century are the above choices for? I need to know before I can vote. thx

let's all market our favorite tweak to attempt to reduce our insecurity!

probably not... extreme fan-boyism is hard to conquer.

microphonic? just kidding...

seems that simply tinning both first (or at least the wire) then heating the wire up when it's touching the connector would be the ticket to success... that and some Panavise product.

good book A few months back the guy who started ReactOS (http://www.reactos.org/en/index.html) gave a private info session where I work and showed us a bunch of cool kernel-mode exploitation techniques. Rad stuff.
