Please clarify which event will take place. When I go to the Lonestaraudiofest site it says Great Plains Audio held in Tulsa OK.
It's going to be in Dallas next year. I just signed the contract with Embassy Suites and will be updating the website soon.
Glad to hear the news. I can finally make one of these.
And Luther, Bring some of your Audio Artwork to show to the world. jim...
Sure thing. What about these?
Beautiful work, Luther. The chrome plating looks great! And the pig is hilarious!
What you don't use the "pig tweak"?
I learned of the pig tweak from Fred. It gives a nice full and rounded sound to the music. As for the amps, the yellow one has a chrome chassis, the 2A3 is just hand polished aluminum.
Re: What you don't use the "pig tweak"?
You guys can laugh all you want about my pig tweaks, but they all improve the sound more than the Aural Ersatz High Density Port Feed and magic pebbles combined. I'll give you a clue: The secret of the one sitting on Luther's gainclone amp is in the tail. I have experimented with different numbers of turns of the copper wire until I got it just right. It has the same effect as an inductor, but without the treble attenuation you would get if you wired one in series with the speakers. The noise floor is lowered by several magnitudes. Now, where did I leave that beer I was drinking?
I have a saying in my kitchen. There's absolutely nothing that can't be made better with bacon. Apparently, it holds true in audio too!
Have you tried twisting the pig's tail in the opposite direction? Or is that only good for Australia? jim...
