on Sale - $55/pr (drivers & XO)

Re: on Sale - $55/pr (drivers & XO)

Actually, either way is fine. Component order in a series string (between ground shunts) doesn't really matter.

True, I was just thinking about how he might be looking at it and in a different setting....

I should have explained more.

Thanks chris. I know just enough to know that I don't know. Thanks for clarifying.

Flip the 20 ohm resistor and the 6.8uf cap.

The ntn's do indeed look like "mini towers". That was my impression when I first built one. (BTW, the two shown are probably the same height, it's just that one of them is rotated a bit so it looks bigger in perspective.)

Yes gents.. exactly the same! Quick photo with the ole smart phone.

Is it me or is the NTN on the left a smidge taller than the right? Could be photo tricks. They look mini compared to those TT TL!

Just a comparison photo.. wanted to show folks that may be wondering about the size of these guys.. here are the NTN's next to a set of Tritrix TL's..

Np, looks good now.

Re: on Sale - $55/pr (drivers & XO)

Thank you Voladin.


Like this. Looked at Chris' again and you are right, I forgot to flip that one when I sketched it out. Thanks again!

Re: on Sale - $55/pr (drivers & XO)

Hopefully someone can confirm if I've interpreted Chris' ntn crossover schematic correctly. Here is a sketch I made to try make sure I get it right in my mind before I start laying out components.



Thanks,

I really like your crossover on a stick idea. That is nice!

Kind of reminds me of a tuning fork--they are now dubbed "tuning fork"!:p

Very nice end result Kevin! They are beautiful! Especially liked the reference to "curling" brushes for a size reference....of which I've never seen in person! lol.. Nice Work!
Chris W.

Thanks Chris. The finish actually could have turned out a bit better; a lot more dye stayed behind from the first coat on the cabinets than on my test pieces (should have sanded more!) - so there are some very blue areas, especially endgrain. Lesson learned for next time.

The size comparison was completey unintentional (but hey - now somebody has seen a curling brush for the first time, lol). I just started working where I had space, and was too lazy to move stuff (like the brushes) that could have been in the way.

Thanks Justin. I'm sure I wasn't the first to do it, but I hadn't seen it before I did it... so at least in my mind, I'm a pioneer!

It works for this because there are so few parts, and they're tiny. Still can't believe I ordered the wrong value resistor. Duh.
