    College degree = worthless

    That is the biggest bunch of bull, probably stated by a college grad I have ever read. College is just as much a hiding place for someone to not pursue a goal and float by as it is the other way around. If what you posted was correct, then I dont exist and live in the gutter!!!!! Not...

    College degree = worthless

    ""A college education is not for everyone."" Totally concur! """At age 18, many young adults do not know what they want to do. A college education (active learning, not strolling through to earn a piece of paper) will do more than expand career opportunities, it will expand the mind...

    College degree = worthless

    I hate these debates and really hate those whom give us the statistics that mean little or nothing, but want us to believe them. You and only you can say that "you" are interested in the outcome of your students. That cant be made a broad statement in the least. For every professor out there...

    Help with crossover selection?

    All I can say is this is up to you how you choose to go with it. The tweeter is more than well going to be up to par. Its problem as I found and a few other similar type projects found at parts express, DIY speaker builder etc is that the tweeter will play louder, just louder, no other...

    Help with crossover selection?

    I got 7.25 ohms and a 12.94 cap for the woofer scenario, close enough for 10%. I dont see any value for using a Zobel on the tweeter at all. Its impedance curve, while not perfectly flat, isnt bad within "EAR" range. But after playing with such, I have a feeling it'll be about 6 db louder than...

    Help with crossover selection?

    I find this funny, but I just finished building something close. Same tweeters paired with the RS125S-8. I used the Dayton crossover @ 2000hz and series padded the tweeter with a 1 ohm resistor and used a zobel consisting of a 47uF ( PE# 021-02-427) and a 8 ohm resistor (PE # 021-01-309)...

    Is ther much difference between CD players if you use the digital out?

    You'll find Sony and Phillips transports in many a affordable CD players and they do make a difference. Jitter has been found on oscilloscopes on poorly made transports and lead to poor sound quality.. People can debate this to death, but if you listened to one decent transport to a...
