That'll work. I prefer the preamp crossover only because I have a hard number shutoff instead of setting a dial where I think that number is. Either way is fine, though. Something you may want to try if you have a smart phone, or tablet, is to find a decent spectrum/frequency analyzer. What you could do if you want to get super precise is turn your sub off and just play your mains. That way you can find out where their true roll off point is. Especially if you have a way of playing either pink noise or a frequency sweep through them. If you find that point, then you can set the sub at that exact frequency for perfect integration. With that said, you can get it set up just fine by ear. Just throwing that option out there if you choose to seriously fine tune it.

Screws instead of knobs?! Hmmmm...I've never heard of that before. If you can manually set your crossover on the Emotiva, then just set your crossover on the sub as high as it will go, then set the crossover on the preamp where you're getting the best results. As I mentioned above, I would bet your setup would benefit from setting your crossover (low pass) to around 50-55Hz. You may want to start higher, say 75-80Hz, and work your way back depending on how old your mains are, and what their actual roll off point is. Let me know if I answered your question enough, as I'm kind of short on time at the moment...

Ah, yes. I forgot about Sears. Just as everyone else in the world has... Yet another commercial wasteland.

You can throw Kmart on that list as well. The fact that they're still in business blows my mind.

Refreshing the page always solves the problem for me. Not that it happens often. -
Huh? Still several independent bike shops and travel agents here in Sleepy Hollow.

I don't either. It's just a dysfunctional franchise from top to bottom. You've got one of the better WR tandems in the league, one of the best TE's in the game when healthy, and a top ten RB (plus Helu who is an incredible pass catcher out of the backfield). The line is a problem, but certainly not THE problem. No line will make a team look that bad I think most of the players at this point have just said fuck it. And once RGIII tried to throw the whole team under the bus last week, that may have punched his ticket out. Man, I remember as a teen the NFC East was feared far and wide. Joe Gibbs and the Redskins were beasts among men. Nobody could match up with Jacoby and the Hogs. LB's would barely try to take on Riggens. Art Monk just glided by CB's like they weren't even there. This is the sorriest state this franchise has been in that I can remember. And it all starts with the owner, IMO.

Benching RGIII at this point tells me that they're not interested in bringing him back next year. You don't "evaluate players for next year" with your backup when your starter is perfectly healthy. And there is no player on the team right now that NEEDS to be evaluated more than RGIII.
-
Right. For some reason I was thinking this was the last year of his contract. One can only hope that even as removed from reality as Snyder is that he at least sees the light when it comes to his golden child. And you're absolutely spot on about the OL. Last year it seemed as though the four worst were all in the same division. And as you said, Dallas was really the only team in the division to address the problem. And they're now making DeMarco Murray look like LeSean McCoy, while McCoy himself looks like a back for the Raiders...
-
I'm fairly convinced what you see is RGIII's ceiling. With the book on him now written, and his new found lack of mobility thanks to a fireable offense by Shanahan a couple of years ago, this is likely all he's ever going to be. A running QB that can't run, and has almost no pocket passing skills to speak of. Not to mention a diva who hasn't earned the status yet. I seriously doubt he's in D.C. next season.

Is streaming technology saving the music industry?

Yeah, Netflix is really bad about the whole now you see it, now you don't thing. A lot of the ESPN 30 For 30 programs seem to come and go on a weekly basis. And I watched the movie Melancholia show up and disappear at least twice over the past year. -
Right now it's nearly impossible to know who is what, no matter the conference. It has been a very bizarre season so far. There are no "complete" teams this year. Each and every one has flaws out the ass. But, if I had to pick at this point, I'd say Green Bay and New England are the class of their respective conferences. Two weeks from now there could be a completely different answer. Remember how not so long ago Denver was being touted as the best offense in NFL history? Or how the Bengals looked like the dominant AFC team? Or how bad Arizona's defense was going to be with all the losses they suffered? Or how Matt Ryan was tearing things up? Or how the Packers looked like they were going to tank? Relax, sayeth Aaron. Teams like Arizona, Kansas City, and Dallas weren't supposed to win more than five or six games each. Atlanta, New Orleans, and Chicago were supposed to be playoff bound... Incredibly bizarre season so far...

I wouldn't agree with that asshole if you paid me! But, the cat did make a good call.

A possibly heretical statement re Bill Evans' first trio
Scott Dolan replied to fasstrack's topic in Artists
I thought Bird was pretty good, but I'm a big Forest Whitaker fan. 'Round Midnight was decent enough as well. But, I agree with your overall point because I doubt either were that interesting to non Jazz fans. -
Good call! You have to keep in mind, it's almost as impossible to go 0-16 as it is to go 16-0.
-
Oh, I bet they will. They've actually been playing tough recently. They have one of the hardest schedules in the league this year.

Thanks, guys. Very odd situation. -

David, which part don't you think will go down? I have to admit that I'm shocked about the whole federal copyright thing not covering any material previous to 1972. That is something I was not familiar with. So who owns the IP? Is it essentially public domain? -

Man, Chet Baker. Now THERE'S someone woefully absent from my collection. I did have a few LP's, but those all went bye bye when we moved up here from Florida. -

As a former tweaker, over-clocker, and registry raider who knew his way all over and around the Windows OS, I'm not ashamed to say I now choose to spend more time with my family than babysit, tweak, and configure a problematic OS. As someone who never received a single piece of e-mail spam due to being overly-cautious, and therefore had no nefarious links to click on, I find your snottery to be quite hilarious. And as someone who grew to know better, I don't miss having to "configure properly" or "install the necessary safeguards" in order to have a functional and trouble free machine. Nor am I completely misinformed, and base my opinions on such. But hey, at least you finally learned the difference between MP3 and AAC. Welcome to the 21st century, supposed IT guy! -

Oh, and I apologize for not welcoming both Buddha and Hutch. Stay away from me, as I'm the problem child here who is not liked, and will bite! But, welcome to Da Org!

I couldn't agree more. Something I've personally observed, especially on Facebook, is that individuals have much more control over what they do and don't read/tolerate. In other words, you have the power to control the conversation. Someone says something you do not like or agree with, you've got the power to send them packing. To be perfectly honest, I find it to be anti-intellectual. That said, I am also ashamed to admit that I've been on both sides of that. It's one of the reasons why I barely use my FB account anymore. It has essentially turned us back into a global high school. Deeper discussions can be had, and I've participated in many with very good friends, but for the most part it's fast food for the soul. And funny pictures of cats. The online bulletin board is still my cyber social drug of choice, but folks like us are a dying breed, I'm afraid. Many folks these days want to read headlines and move on... The one thing I'm not really keen on is everyone agreeing with me. I like to be challenged, and I like to challenge others. Speaking only for myself, it makes me think. Makes me do my homework. That can only serve to make me more informed. Something a quick little blurb, and an equally quick little response on FB will never be able to accomplish.
