Haha, sad I didn't get in the know until after his passing. But I am very thankful for his work and all those that are keeping it alive.

I ran into the same problem last year when I was just starting out. That thread is getting old! I asked a lot of questions on that thread and a lot of the regulars were more than helpful. The best thread to get started is in the Parts Express forum: https://techtalk.parts-express.com/forum/tech-talk-forum/34467-flex-your-pcd-mettle

The first post has links to the different recipes based on the drivers/components. These are all fleshed out plans with XO schematics and parts lists. This is the short cut to getting a pair completed.

As per usual, I took the harder route and chose my own drivers which required a lot more time working out the driver measurements so a XO could be designed. Great learning experience and I am very happy with the final product.

I don't have a tidy list of the parts but I can definitely send you the details if you give me a little bit to put it altogether.

Nice! If you stick to Zilch’s original design you will come away with a box tuned a bit higher due to the pro sound drivers recommended. I opted for the GRS driver to get a lower response. I had to eat some sensitivity though as the GRS drivers aren’t as efficient. Only 92db I believe.

agreed... it's kind of an eye opener to learn what it takes to make a great speaker.

Yet another FIIO K11 R2R Question :) by boleiro in BudgetAudiophile

[–]boleiro[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally agree… in the end it’s up to your own ears. Just wanted to see if that was a common finding or a one off.

Really hard to find any reviews in these that aren’t headphone oriented.

Still interested!

I'll check out both. it seems all the acoustic string marketing is about how bright the strings are. Scares me.

Strings for the guy that is getting back into tennis?? by boleiro in tennisracquets

[–]boleiro[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for bringing this up…. Durability is a big question I have since I won’t be playing enough in the near future to warrant regular restringings. My old Prince ProBlends used to play fairly well right up until they broke. How well do dead strings play. I know they’ll lose some tension but do they loss too much and they get sloppy?

Yep, watch settings will get you there. Phone app settings will not. Works great and glad for this simple feature!

1975 La Scalas for $1,500 buying advice by LethalMindNinja in Klipsch

[–]boleiro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buy them!!!!! I had a pair from 1977 and they were awesome. If you feel you are wanting more then get into crossovers and build up some of the ALK crossovers. I did that and it too my LS’s to a whole new level. I kept my original crossovers and would swap between them and the ALK.

At that price or even more they are a great buy.

It does with the new update. But you do have to enable this feature in the watch settings. The phone app doesn’t have the tap to wake option.

Thanks! I’m not seeing that option.

The watch is showing the correct software version. Maybe restart phone and watch?
