Nick,
Thanks, but I am not at AXPONA 2024.

Danville Signal in room 356 has the Magnepan 1.7i's that I helped with the DSP crossover design for tri-amping them with the dspNexus 2x8 system. 

They built the AB switching box for the demo.  All the amps are the same as well as the front end uses all 8 channels of the dspNexus 2x8.  Two channels are just direct DAC connections to the amps driving the original passive crossovers and the other 6 DAC's are the 3-way DSP crossover to the amps.

Feedback so far is that the demo is showing the listeners how not subtle the difference the DSP crossover can make when it is really at the state of the art.  :)

Rich,

I don't keep up with the shows that much. Will you be attending any other events for the rest of the year?

Nick

Nick,
If I can get a larger room for CAF2024 in Nov that is possible.  I am working with the show owner now to see if one is available.

This will not be a comparison demo like the Magnepan 1.7i's at AXPONA.  I will bring the AGN II Line Array's with two 6x12in OB servo subs.  I want to demo the dspNexus 2x8 system with the AK4499EX DAC's in a larger speaker system. 

Rich

Rich

Thx, Rich

Response from Cynthia, The Audio Belle on YouTube to the AB comparison was it was a night and day difference, she could not believe the difference between the original passive crossover and the DSP crossover versions. 

Works for me! :)

Snooks Eaglin - guitar, vocals
Eddie Bo - piano (Set II)
Tommy Ridgley - vocals (from Check Mr. Popeye)
Carmen Jacob - drums
Irving Charles - bass

One of many Snooks + Eddie Bo performances around this time, this is a nice recording after the first 20 seconds or so.  The tape was a little bass heavy, which has been corrected.  The last track cuts; we don't know how much longer the show went on.  The last four songs are Tommy Ridgley's. 

Enjoy!

Phish
1-27-1988 AKA 1-30-1988
Gallagher's Waitsfield VT.

This show is dated 1-30-1988 on Phish.net as well
as on my dat.
This show is dated 1-27-1988 in the Phish Companion
so I elected to seed it using this date.

SOURCE:SBD>CASS(0)>DAT
DAT>SHN:Tascam DA-20>COAX>WAV>COOL EDIT>CDWAV>SHN
Via MKW.These SHN files are seekable in your SHNamp.
I have included both shn and wav md5s.

This show has been on a journey through the Cool Edit.
Using the Noise Reduction Feature, I have removed
2/3 of the hiss from this copy.There is still
a little bit of hiss,but it comes and goes in waves
instead of a constant annoyance.Before I did this,
the hiss was over the music,now it is behind it.
The music was left completely unaltered in this process.

When the show was originally recorded,the analog
taper kept reseting their levels louder and louder
to the point where there is some vibration.No
real distortion,just some annoying vibration so
don't crank these full throddle.I tried various
tools to try and fix it.I could not get it to my
liking so I chose to leave it alone.

About 2 minutes of Lizards is missing.
It is a very strange time for an analog flip,
but if this taper used 2 tapes for a 3 set show,
the timing matches up.

This is a fabulous show.If I had to give it a grade
for quality...
If it was recorded after 1993 it would be a "C".
Since it was recorded in 1988 and I was able to remove
most of the hiss, I give it an "A--".
