Actually, what takes most of the time is the work required to get the

Yes, of course.


to go without a single flicker of acknowledgement!

You think that's bad, you should think how dissapointing it can be when
magazine articles seem to draw no comments in the form of 'letters to the
editor'. Alas, the levels of feedback from readers does generally seem low
unless you happen to gore their favourate animal. :-)


The question is 'Who read the magazines these days?

I recently sold a turntable to someone who spotted my 'World Audio Design'
stuff when he came to collect it and said 'Ooh, do you read the magazine?' I
said no, not any longer and was going to go on and say that I found that
particular magazine had gone downhill of late and was now full of
meaningless purple prose and dubious factoids, but I didn't....

Just as well, turns out he was/is the Deputy Editor of the magazine! Anyway,
he said the TT was going to featire in 'Audio Classics' (or somesuch) and
that he would send me a copy. He didn't ( no surprise there) but a nearby
friend still takes the mag and loaned me his (March?) copy - shore 'nuff,
the article was yet another wordy exercise in meaningless 'purple prose' and
just about the only single 'factoid' in it (speed adjustment % figure) was
*incorrect*!!



('Clarity' should spark off a nice, busy, mile-long thread here - once I
slip the phrase 'fullrange driver' in somewhere! :-)

Is the last remark from golf or biking?... :-)



No it's a familiar contraction of something like 'a single speaker driver
system that provides enough of the meaningful extremes at both ends of the
spectrum to provide an adequate illusion of the full freqency range of
normal music, speech and soundtracks and render unnecessary the employment
of multiple drivers individually of varying FR ranges and requisite
crossover circuitry, thus avoiding the inevitable, ensuant deterioration of
the sound quality produced'....

OWTTE...

(Google it! ;-)
