I'm currently designing a Class-D output stage and I have come across some
minor problems with the configuration with two of my measurement, namely FFT and THD.
As I always know the frequency(s) of my input signal I wanted to configure the FFT and the
THD measurement to always fit to the period of the output signal. So I defined two variables,
one for the start of the interval and one for the stop, both are integer multiples of the period.
I included those design variables into my measurements as discribed in a different post in this
forum using the desVar() function. For THD this yields in
thd(v("/outp" ?result "tran") desVar("startint") desVar("stopint") 16384 desVar("sigfreq")
for FFT I used the same syntax.
However both measurements do not work. I checked a lot of other measurements with the
desVar() method, they all work fine.
Anyone out there with some pointers ?
Thank you
Best Regards
You probably should use the VAR() function, not the desVar() function. desVar returns a string, and that's not what you want here... (I'm surprised it works elsewhere).
Hi Andrew,
Thanks for the hint, however it's still not working.
What I have tried:
I use the same set of three variables
sigfreq = 256k
startint = 5u
stopint = startint+5*1/sigfreq
Staring from
thd(v(.....) 5u 24.531u 36000 256000)
I replaced the frequeny setting 256k for the THD measurement with VAR("sigfreq") -> Measurement evaluates fine
If I replace the starttime with VAR("startint") the measurement already fails,
drForwardFFT: argument #2 should be a number
What can I do now ?
You should report this to customer support. You shouldn't have to do this, but it may well fix it if you change your:
thd(v(...) VAR("startint") 24.531u ...)
famMap('thd v(...) VAR("startint") 24.531u ...)
I have a CCR for a similar problem with another function, but not with thd. The idea is that famMap copes with unwrapping family data - and so if for some reason the v() is a family, and the VAR("startint") is a waveform (or family) rather than a number, it can sort it out. thd could do this itself.
It's a bit of a guess, but a similar strategy has worked in other cases for me.
Thanks for your assistance on the matter. I have tried the famMap() option but I still get the same
error messages. As soon as our local contact for Cadence is back I'll ask him to bring this in to
customer support.

Go to the "Fools Rush In" Page
'Fools Rush In': 'Nuff SaidBy Desson Howe
Washington Post Staff Writer
February 14, 1997
It could be pointed out that "Fools Rush In," a romantic comedy starring Matthew Perry and Salma Hayek, is a well-intentioned effort to bridge two cultures. After all, this is about the relationship that transpires between Alex Whitman (Matthew Perry), a corporate-minded New Yorker, and Isabel Fuentes (Salma Hayek), a passionate Mexican American.
After these perfect strangers enjoy a one-night stand in Las Vegas, Isabel disappears in the morning. She comes back three months later, pregnant with Alex's baby, and fully intending to keep the child. Flustered but responsible, Alex does the honorable thing: He weds her in a Vegas chapel, with an Elvis look-alike as a witness.
Are you getting a feel for the "goofiness" at work here?
As the newlyweds do things backward -- get pregnant, get married and then fall in love -- we're forced to watch an insipid comedy of opposites. Alex, who's in town to build a nightclub, believes in his career, gourmet hot dogs and people-watching. Isabel, who has deep family roots in the area, believes in destiny, frank talk and solitary canyons.
Then there are the in-laws. His parents (Jill Clayburgh and John Bennett Perry) are uptight Manhattan WASPs who like sailing and don't tan well. Her folks, led by Isabel's baseball-wielding (and of course, lovable) Dad (Tomas Milian), bring soul, togetherness and ranchero music to the dinner table. Neither side likes this shotgun-wedding affair.
Perry, who plays Chandler in the TV show "Friends," takes to these innocuous waters like a duck. He's pure television: cuddly, bumbling, occasionally funny and completely bland. Hayek (the slinky woman in "From Dusk Till Dawn") is appropriately earthy and full of vida -- you know, "ethnic." This isn't real life. It isn't even a movie. It's an extended sitcom. And for the first time in your life, you'll actually beg for commercials.

LGU Ozamiz, DA, MISA to ink MOA for rice production facility-A A +A
Saturday, January 11, 2014
OZAMIZ CITY, Misamis Occidental – The Ozamiz City Government is set to enter into a memorandum of agreement (MOA) with the Department of Agriculture (DA), Region 10, and the Misamis Irrigators Service Association (MISA) to increase rice production in the farmlands of the city.
This, after the Ozamiz City Sangguniang Panglungsod (SP) allowed Mayor Reynaldo O. Parojinog, Sr., to sign the MOA per Resolution No. 182-13, for the implementation of the "On-Farm Mechanization Program: Provision of Farm Mechanization Facilities and Equipment to Farmer Associations."
Such MOA specifies that DA, through its Rice-Mechanization Component, provides mechanization infrastructure and facilities, to enable small farmers improve their productivity through appropriate and efficient mechanization technologies.
A legitimate and registered irrigators association, MISA, which is among the agriculture sector of the industry, is most in need of and qualified to receive the Rice Cutter/Harvester, Rehabilitation of Flatbed Dryer, Power Tiller/Hand Tractor and Rice Thresher, the mechanization facility subject to this agreement, is willing to collaborate in the implementation of the program as beneficiary/cooperator.
The local government unit (LGU), on the other hand, will assist the cooperator in terms of technical information regarding the use of the facility, assist the DA in the selection of proponent and regularly monitor the performance of the facility.
Among others, the MOA specifies the following: That MISA shall provide a counterpart amount of 15 percent of the total estimated cost of the facility and shoulders the operating and maintenance cost of the mechanization facilities.
That it shall secure all legal documentations, such as permit to operate from the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), have the full accountability to any problem or issue arising from it, acknowledge receipt of the facilities and be responsible in its operation and maintenance.
It shall not also, in any manner, sell, lease or transfer the facility with monetary consideration to other parties, and while in its custody, must ensure its optimum utilization. (PIA-10)

From Scenic Hudson: "Black Creek Preserve is a great destination for a family-friendly hike, despite a few uphill climbs that may elicit groans from the under-10 contingent. Still, kids will love crossing the dramatic suspension bridge that spans the creek and exploring the Hudson River shoreline, whose flat stones are tailor-made for skipping. But the preserve also is a perfect place to explore some of the region's threatened species from blueback herring and alewives that journey from the ocean to deposit their eggs in Black Creek to tall hemlocks under siege from the insect woolly adelgid. Information about these and other endangered plants and animals, as well as the creek itself, appears on kiosks throughout the preserve. Depending on when you visit, you may pass several vernal pools, temporary water bodies formed in small depressions from melting snow or winter run-off. Many types of wildlife depend on these for breeding and food. In spring, you'll likely be serenaded by a chorus of male wood frogs luring females to the pools to mate."

An Egyptian revolutionary, University of Cairo student and new mother, was one of the first victims of hurricane Sandy, it emerged today.
Professor Mai Sa'eed Al Arabi was among those killed in New York when the super-storm hit the megalopolis a few days ago. She had traveled to the city to get her PhD, not realizing that a trip to the US could be more dangerous than staying in the Middle East.
Mai took a big part in the Egyptian revolution, signing up to the April 6th Youth Movement and joining protestors in Tahrir Square to oust ex-President, Hosni Mubarak. Members of the youth group have mourned her passing on their official Facebook page.
The married mother of one also campaigned for liberal presidential candidate, Dr. Mohammad ElBaradei. Mai, who died just a few weeks before her 23rd birthday, is survived by her husband, Amjad Mahmoud and three-month-old son, Yousef.
At least 73 others have died after the giant storm hit the East Coast of America, attacking some of the most densely populated areas of the country.
For most Middle Easterners, the tragedy was a time to come together and pray for the safety of the American people. But for some radicals, the devastation caused by Sandy was a sign of God's judgement on a population of "infidels". The Grand Mufti of Saudi today stepped in to curb the tide of 'gloating'.
At the most extreme end of the spectrum, the conspiracy theories took a more sinister turn. On one Syrian pro-regime Facebook group, the blame was placed firmly on the country's rebels. Members of the 'Syrian Armed Forces News Network' page claimed President Bashar al Assad, along with Iranian forces, had engineered the hurricane as punishment for opposing him.
According to the post: "… hurricane Sandy, now buffeting the U.S., was carried out by highly advanced technology developed by the heroic Iranian regime, in coordination with our resistant regime."
For the most part, Arab netizens laughed, with many commenting only with a string of 'hahahahas' on the page. Syrian pro-rebel Facebook pages took the opportunity to offer their own prayers for the victims of hurricane Sandy, presenting themselves as taking the moral high ground, unlike their pro-regime counterparts.
What do you think about hurricane Sandy? Is it some kind of punishment or the working of a complex weather system? Tell us your thoughts below.

Don't leave that one in the truck on a hot day! I've had an EPP plane that wilted in my truck one sweltering day. Nice build with the EPP. Should make it more mistake proof. If you're getting around 185-200 watts/lb your flight perfomance should be fun. Good luck with the maiden!
I have 2 motors to try, one maxing out at 250 watts, the other 400 watts, I will start with the smaller one and see how I go....
On this airframe more power is a good thing. So far on it looks like around a 2:1 thrust ratio works well. Good luck and have fun!
Cheers EDF... double posted somehow... 2 to 1 is pretty normal for 3D, so I'll see how it goes with the smaller motor first.
I've had about 4 absolutely delightful flights with my 44" Clik since repairing. Its turning heads at the fields and generating a lot of interest from small electric guys all the way to large slimers! I'm having to turn down offers to build and sell them because I simply do not have time to do this by hand. It took me a month of my spare time to be able to get my own ready. I think now that I have one build under my belt I could do it in two weeks of spare time but even then it can be costly given the depron aint cheap. I've drawn up some near laser ready plans but because of the size, it just isnt practical to try and develop a kit, assuming I went to David and set up a licensing deal and all that. I wish I could do it, believe me!
Seriously, what a phenomenal flight envelope. It flys slow and gracefully and yet remains incredibly aerobatic. It truly looks and acts like a large scale version of it's indoor lineage. My piloting skills are definitely growing with this plane, however I still have a ways to go before trying more radical freestyle moves. I still don't have the motor coordination to do a proper sustained torque roll and I don't feel comfortable maintaining a long hover really low to the ground but this plane is definitely a fantastic trainer for that.
Thanks again David and edf for the excellent design and inspiration! Thanks to Blake for showing what this plane can do in the right hands!
Glad to see you got it patched up and flying again. It's not a torque rolling machine by any stretch of the imagination but it will do them if you give it full ailerons. I quess in F3P they only do one slow torque roll to end the routine and it does it well just not fast. Same with the roll rate, still has that typical foamie feel. Not enough inertia at the wingtips I quess. I'm working on that for the next version. Still a fun flyer. I'll be putting some grass stains on it this holiday weekend. Speaking of which, everybody have a fun and safe Labor Day weekend and hope you get some flying in!
Wow, surprised you're saying the roll rate is foamie like....on high rates mine does violent ratchets and the roll rate must approach 720 deg/sec. The only foamie I've found capable of this is the BYPYAK...in fact thats the main reason I've bought a BY...rock solid, FAST ratchets.
My guess is you dont have enough aileron travel, mine has 45 deg
My perception is the XL keeps several foamie traits but at near 3 pounds the mass and inertia is very significant. I've been caught out a few times when she ended up mushing out from shear weight...just like trying walls too slow causes it to skid belly first
I find the sizes' initial inertia allows me to run high rates on controls all the time...the inertia is like extra expo
Got my 4mm CF now so the XL gets a new LG tomorrow, this plane is just too big to handle belly landing gracefully. My last flight the motor ejected upon landing (sure the mount screws were loose but why should that matter? hehe)...so its obvious the prop cant be depended on to miss the ground
I also finally got my 13x4E props, so I'll compare it but I bet the 14.5" Graupner spanks it badly...
Mine has thicker surfaces and larger wingspan. I'm using about 45-50 deg of aileron travel. It's adequate but can be improved. Wind penetration at this weight it good. I would consider the weight just right. Even on windless days it still floats. Guess I'm used to my Reactor .46 too much. That's got a decent roll rate. Anyway that's all being addressed in the next version. There doesn't seem to be any landing issues with belly skidding. Got about 50 flights on it so far although a few have been grabbed out of hover. I broke off a lower SFG on landing once. (high grass) Other than that haven't seen the need for LG on this one.
Your 52" wing span is longer than my 52" wingspan???
As far as landing goes...I imagine if you have actual grass to land on you might be good(you got killer grass in the vids)...here in the east we've had draught since spring...our club field, school yard and local park are all dead grass clumps...
problem is the tail hangs down such that at rest the plane is like 5 deg neg angle of attack. So when I land, the plane is level or nose high until the tail skid touches which forces that nose down...so the last 2-3" it slams down regardless of how smooth I land. Also unless you drag the tail you have to land fast as your landing flat.. a LG allows you to land 3 point, nose high
Of course its all relative, fast is
still pretty slow compared to glow planes etc
Ah now you posted your wingspan. Didn't really know how big your wingspan was. Not sure how thick your material is but mines' kind of wide @ 1/2". That's the SFG's too. So a little draggy but works out OK. At any rate when my friend says he needs to see more roll rate, I have to agree. I also didn't want to put LG on this one as it was already heavy enough. It would need another couple of ply plates for some reinforcement plus gear/wheels. Next version planned I have some Fiberlite carbon gear laying around that needs a home. Also have a carbon tailwheel assembly that I'll throw on too. Hey I like to taxi as much as anyone else! Mine kind of bonks down but the way it's built it doesn't notice. I elevatored a landing in today pretty much vertical right next to me just for laughs and it worked great. Little bump on the throttle right before touchdown and it eased in. LOL
While I've posted the wingspan before, its a big thread or actually two counting the orginal Clik thread, I've gone back more than once to refresh my memory on your specs so its easy to miss things.
Anyway, your videos prove a LG is optional
In my case since I dont use a cantilever wing the LG is additional wing bracing and adds very little extra weight beyond that. My LG weights 20gs total and uses the reinforcements already there for the wing struts
I built mine out of laminated blue core so my fuse is 6mmx2 plus 2mm more for the 1mm skins or 14mm thick- the wing is single bluecore so its 8mm thick with the skins
Yeah it's hard to judge how heavy a build will come out(until you build it!). But lessons learned. I've already picked up some valuable aerodynamic stuff playing around with this plane and will apply it to the next one for sure. Gotta love the design though. I've had lots of foamies but none quite impress me like this one. Maybe if we all gang up on rc-factory, they'll be forced to take our money and make the XL(XXL?).
Got in 4 more packs flying time this evening
No doubt about it, my initial CG is too far forward...running my light packs about 2" back seems good
Threw in 10% down elevator for KE and its spot on to the right.. still off to the left
Torque rolling is almost automatic...reminds me of 40% IMAC plane as to TR rate....nice and unhurried
Also find I'm much happier with the small packs which puts me in the air at 38oz...
but then again I'm playin with the 3D end of her bag of tricks..
Only major problem I'm seeing is likely elevator flex...she does not track well in loops etc...I used CF but I guess not enough
New LG held up to the grass clumps even with a wheel slid up the LG leg .. thats what I'm talkin about!
More flights tomorrow and maybe I'll try the APC 13x4.. so far the Graupner seems to work really well and must be danged efficient to hover 39oz with barely 300w at half stick
Got another 4 pak of flights in this evening, FINALLY some calm air- amazing how much more flight time you get when you're not fighting wind
starting to really like this one now that shes getting dialed in
probably still needs the CG further back but she's TR pretty nice although anti TRs are still a bit rough but I did get in several multi-rev TRs
spent a lot of time KE and even did several KE loops that came off pretty well
finally got around to trying some cubans and other basics and she works quite well as a pattern ship even on high rates- think this will actually be a decent IMAC practice tool
at this rate she will probably be my fav foamie soon

'Girls' Is At It Again With Good Music: Edie Brickell, New Order & The Smashing Pumpkins! Lorde Is Also A Big Fan!
You're going to think I only blog about 'Girls', but they just keep doing cool things on the show. Alison Williams' character, Marnie is trying to get a YouTube video taken down of her singing Edie Brickell's "What I Am" in this past episode.
They also featured New Order's "Age Of Consent" in scene at a bar where they were celebrating Hannah's 25th birthday. Love that song! And another character Ray loses his cool when the DJ cuts off his request for Smashing Pumpkins, "Today." Man, I love that show! Apparently Lorde does too because she tweeted for series creator Lena Dunham to "Make TV faster!" Haha, I agree.

EU ruling could force four million women off road
MILLIONS of women drivers face huge hikes in their car insurance premiums with the introduction of new EU regulations next month.
From December 21, up to four million of Britain's 17 million female motorists could be forced off the road by "gender neutral" pricing.
The European Court of Justice ruled it unlawful to discriminate between the sexes when it comes to financial products. Women currently pay an average of £102 less than men, with the figure much higher for younger drivers.
Research shows that nine in 10 women could receive a "completely unexpected" price hike of £100 or more after Christmas. For younger drivers, the difference could be as much as £3,000. The extra cost could mean a quarter of female motorists giving up their vehicle.
The research, by price comparison service uSwitch, found 35 per cent would have to cut their living expenses to cope with higher premiums and five per cent may have to borrow the money. Just 18 per cent of women think the ruling is fair.
These changes will have a significant effect on consumers, but a significant number of people, especially women, still aren't aware of the potential impact on their finances
However, male drivers have little sympathy. Two out of three say the new rules end unfair discrimination.
The directive prevents insurers from using a risk analysis of accidents to discriminate on the basis of gender when setting premiums.
But there is confusion over what the changes will mean for drivers.
Independent insurance industry experts Consumer Intelligence forecast that car insurance premiums will increase by as much as 25 per cent because of the new rules.
Chief Executive Ian Hughes said: "These changes will have a significant effect on consumers, but a significant number of people, especially women, still aren't aware of the potential impact on their finances."

A list of needed items is at the bottom of this story.
Twelve lonely cans of corn rested on a shelf inside the Salvation Army�s food pantry Thursday.
A smattering of green beans sat on the shelf just above. Otherwise, there weren�t any vegetables to be seen.
In these dog days of summer, vegetables aren�t all that�s running low at the food pantry that serves about 1,400 families a month. Stocks of staples like macaroni and cheese, spaghetti, marinara sauce, canned meat, soups, rice, beans, cereals and other non-perishables also are dwindling.
�Even Ramen noodles are a good thing to have just to be able to give people,� said Christi Thomas, who coordinates the Salvation Army of Alamance County�s food pantry.
The Salvation Army provides about 3,400 people a month with food. Each month, the organization gives about 300 emergency five- to seven-day food supply boxes to needy families. Families are eligible to receive those once every 90 days. Thomas said the Salvation Army would provide those emergency supplies more often if they had the resources to do it.
In addition, the organization gives out weekly bags of fresh produce and bread, supplied by donations from Target and Lowe�s Foods, local farms and individual donors.
Donations to food pantries typically drop in the summer: The flush giving of the holidays is months away, and people are on vacation or busy with summer plans. Coupled with the increased need of families whose children aren�t being fed twice a day at school, it�s not uncommon to see supplies drop, Thomas said.
�But what we�ve found is that if people know there�s a need, they give,� Thomas said.
Across town, at the Allied Churches of Alamance County�s homeless shelter kitchen, Executive Director Kim Crawford echoed that sentiment.
�People generously bring in canned goods to us,� Crawford said. �We are Allied Churches, and we are an allied community.�
The shelter�s kitchen serves meals to about 400 people each day. Keeping basic ingredients in the kitchen is difficult, Crawford said. She put out a call for staples like flour and sugar earlier this week.
�You can cook with canned corn for so long, but we still need to supplement it with other things. We do the best we can to be sure what we�re providing is nutritious,� Crawford said. �We always need flour, sugar, butter, oil, seasonings and things like that. Those types of things we can never keep enough of.�
Crawford asked that if people donate those items, they drop off store-bought packages � not remnants or partially used containers.
▪ The Salvation Army of Alamance County is at 812 N. Anthony St. in Burlington. For more information on its food pantry or other services, call 336-227-5529.
▪ Allied Churches of Alamance County is at 206 N. Fisher St. in Burlington. For more information on its services, call 336-229-0881.
Local food pantries could use a boost in food supplies. Here�s what they need:
▪ canned vegetables
▪ canned beans
▪ macaroni and cheese
▪ spaghetti
▪ rice
▪ tomato sauce
▪ canned pasta
▪ canned meat
▪ breakfast foods and cereal
▪ soup
▪ fresh fruit and vegetables
▪ bread
▪ flour
▪ sugar
▪ 2-percent milk
▪ butter
▪ cooking oil
▪ salt, pepper, seasonings
▪ cleaning supplies
▪ canned and non-perishable food
▪ aluminum foil and plastic wrap

Back in mid-2005, I auditioned Canton's new Vento line of speakers with an entire surround package, (although the matching sub had yet to be released). I found them impeccably designed and crafted, while sounding outstanding. Almost four years later trickle-up theory prevailed and Canton introduced the flagship 3.2 DC floor standing speaker based on the design success of the Vento. Although just the beginning, Canton's accomplishment with the 3.2 (a monster speaker weighing over 100 lbs and standing almost 4 feet tall) led them to fill in the line, one of which is the slightly smaller 5.2 DC.
- Design: Three-way, Ported
- Drivers: One 1″ Aluminum Dome Tweeter, One 7″ Aluminum Cone Midrange, Two 8″ Aluminum Cone Woofers
- MFR: 43 Hz – 26.5 kHz ± 3 dB
- Crossover Frequencies: 220 Hz, 2.8 kHz
- Nominal Impedance: 6 Ohms
- Power Handling: 440 Watts
- Dimensions: 43.3″ H x 10.4″ W x 14.2″ D
- Weight: 66 Pounds/each
- MSRP: $10,000/pair
The 5.2 is the middle of the pack in their floor standing Reference line, with the larger 3.2 DC and the smaller 7.2 DC while a stand-mounted 9.2 DC is also available. Whether you call it significant, the difference among the floor standing units is in cabinet and driver sizes. Otherwise looking at them you'd be hard pressed to tell them apart – the design is that consistent.
The full-sized loudspeakers share the same 3-way bass-reflex design. And they share the same compliment of drivers, the 5.2 has 2-8″ aluminum cone woofers, a 7″ midrange aluminum cone and a 1″ aluminum oxide ceramic dome tweeter replacing the previous Reference aluminum-manganese dome – more on that later. It stands about 43″ tall and weighs a hefty 66 pounds.
In terms of sheer visual design, the Reference is exceptional in its simplicity and quiet elegance. There are no straight lines, with all sides curved and edges radius. The classic piano black is liquid glossy. Rational and functional, there are no "gestures" in the design save for the obvious base or plinth.
Considered a shock absorber the podium reducing or eliminating external interference and essentially "floats" it off the floor. Reaching up underneath between the main body of the speaker and the base reveals the down-facing port which also helps prevent the wall or floor from contributing to the low frequency range.
The cabinet is very much Vento, the curved side walls are multiple layers of MDF forming a rigid monocoque enclosure almost an inch thick, or 21 mm. Internal bracing also adds rigidity by separating driver compartments into 2 chambers. The outer finish is second to none as the stunning piano black is a built-up of up to 12 coats of varnish applied while the preceding coat is still wet. The final luster is achieved polishing by hand over and over.
The "DC" in the line is Canton's Displacement Control design. Built into the circuitry it controls bass by limiting driver excursion via a high pass filter at unwanted or "infrasonic" frequencies.
The 5.2 DC can be bi-wired/bi-amped with gold-plated screw-type binding posts. This in the end was one of my minor gripes, although substantial in girth, the screw would not tighten to my satisfaction by skipping the threads, almost feeling stripped. Because the threads have a gap it allows the "nut" to squeeze the two sides together a bit too much.
Driver Design
Immediately noticeable about the mid-range and woofer drivers are their shinny aluminum cones – aluminum for its high strength and rigidity, and ultimately for its ability to create detail especially in the midrange.
Examined closely the drivers employ multiple diameters in the shape of the cone. Canton refers to this as TCC or triple curved cone technology. The obvious reason would suggest a more rigid driver produces less distortion. But more so, it's a complex formula that allows the driver to function at multiple frequencies accurately.
Because the dust cap is integral to the surface of the cone, Canton believes "multiple resonance paths" prevent the formation of standing waves across the driver, also reducing distortion. Lastly the larger radius increases the surface area with the double cone shape. This is said to provide less deformation especially at higher excursions, and once again, lowering distortion.
The gem however seems to be the new tweeter. The dome composition combines aluminum and oxide ceramic creating a rigid and lightweight structure. Even the shape of the new dome is greater in height and width, integrated with the baffle provides greater bandwidth especially at highest frequencies.
Known as the ADT-25 for the reference line, the tweeter flared baffle was also redesigned for greater off-axis dispersion. I can tell you that this was extremely obvious while walking side to side while listening. Canton claims a 3dB increase in efficiency, which is quite dramatic.
Crossover circuitry is given the same consideration as cabinet design or driver execution. Rubber mounts separate the circuit board from the cabinet. Mentioned already was DC technology or displacement control. Canton controls the bass drivers from infrasonic signals (which are described as those under 20 Hz), because as woofers try to reproduce frequencies below their capabilities, harmonic distortions are produced.
I was happy to have Raney Nelson, of Canton's PR Agency, deliver and help me lug the Canton 5.2's down a flight of stairs to my listening room and help set them up. My modest space dictates pretty much where my speakers are placed, save moving them a few inches in either direction. We placed them about 7 feet apart, 2 feet from the rear and side walls, ever slow slightly toed in. We sat about 9 feet back.
Then it got interesting.
So here's the part where I describe how I basically broke every cardinal rule in the reviewer's handbook including the length of time I spent with the Canton Reference 5.2 DC- changing too many variables instead of just the one, speakers. Secondly, length of the review, what should have been a sweet 60 days turned into many months and I wonder if at any point I became too attached and lost perspective because in the end I simply grew to love them in every possible way.
But how I got to that point.
I've enjoyed my low-medium powered integrated tube amplifiers for a number of years and they've served me very well for most other components I've auditioned, not just speakers.
After Raney and I finished the setup and began playing a CD, within a few minutes we both realized that the tube amps weren't cutting it with the power starved speakers. On paper my 55 tube-watts should have been adequate to drive the modestly sensitive (88.5 dB) Canton's, yet what we heard was to the contrary. The mid-range was shallow and lacked dimension.
The sound was not quite as articulate or forceful. We concluded that the 5.2 DC's needed something more substantial (perhaps even in solid-state) than my modest tube amplifier provided.
Hmmm, a dilemma.
I turned to a friend in Richard Schram at Parasound who without hesitation came to my rescue. His highly regarded JC 1 mono blocks were my first choice, by far. But knowing I was probably going to make the investment, I backed off and Richard suggested the equally superb A 21 which would give me at least 400 watts into 4 ohm loads. I also asked for the Parasound P3 preamplifier, which Sandy Bird glowingly reviewed.
Variable two (variable one of course being the Cantons themselves)
I had been happily using the OPPO DV 983H for a reference CD/SACD player until I reviewed the Marantz SA-15S2 which I finished just before the Canton's arrived. I was overwhelmed with the new source in the Marantz and it never left my rack.
Variable three (I was on a roll)
While attending an event in NYC at audio retailer Stereo Exchange, I was put through an A/B comparison swapping out cables from Transparent of Maine. The improvements were immediate and obvious and not just slight, I could distinguish the difference 100% of the time. After a discussion with Transparent's David Schultz about the issues I was having with the Canton he was kind enough to loan me a set of MusicWave Super speaker cables and interconnects as I promised to return them to Stereo Exchange when I was done with them.
Up until then I was very pleased with Wireworld cables throughout my system but I was smitten with the Transparent cables that I swapped them out.
Variable four
Concentrating however on the Canton Reference 5.2 DC
And this point I was so far past comparing the Cantons that I simply chose to experience and react to the Reference 5.2 DC. Through all the changes however I'm thrilled to report, the Canton's came to life and I remembered why I loved the Canton Vento so much, the one other speaker I hated to see leave my listening room.
Having said that, the only comparison I will make is with the slightly higher priced KEF Reference 205/2, at about $12,000 for the pair, which I had and reviewed about a year earlier. The KEF's nearly became "my" speakers, I truly loved them. The sound was enormous yet so articulate, wonderful attack and delay. Truly the sweetest sound I've ever experienced in my home. Alas I couldn't pull the financial trigger. My one wish was to have the KEF's back for a real comparison because I believe the Cantons would have held their own.
In Use
Gone was the washed out midrange, replaced by articulate and natural voices with dimension. Gone was the flat bass, instead a smooth and clean, weighty transition into the low end. Gone was the dullness in the upper range, the highs extended and delicate. I finally was hearing the true potential of the Canton 5.2 DC – a reference level performance.
First as always, the soundstage or breath was immediately evident, instruments were nicely imaged and separated across my room side to side, and front to back.
For big orchestra sound I pulled out one of my favorite sampler CD's, Super Sounds II, an XRCD24 format disc produced by Winston MA. If you ever want to impress anyone with your system, play them the first track, an incredibly dynamic rendition of the Magnificent Seven. The shift in instruments is startling and the speaker has to respond quickly, with snap, tightness, and recovery. Percussions are lively, metallic, while the brass section is brilliantly portrayed.
In the Cantus CD, While You Are Alive, believability and realism in abundance from the beautifully recorded nine male voice ensemble that make up Cantus. The Canton 5.2 DC captures the sense of space in the concert hall around you.
This is also very much evident in The Essential Tallis Scholars CD recorded in various chapels where the voices are sweet, full and distinct.
Something a bit more earthly is Raising Sand, the collaboration between Robert Plant and Alison Krauss. This recording is gritty and yet the pair's voices are smooth and harmonized. The 5.2's renders my favorite track, Please Read the Letter with such emotion and beauty.
It dawned on me that I chose music that was emotional and moving because I found the 5.2 DC that engaging. But I didn't exclusively listen to classical music, in fact jazz and rock made the rotation and I found no genre was excluded from sounding natural and organic. Treble elements such as acoustic guitars had snap and warmth, saxophones and trumpets popped. Highs were controlled but not overly bright. Bass transitioned so evenly it wasn't until something in the room shook that I realized how deep.
Finally I never fatigued listening to the Canton 5.2 DC; I never stopped just because I couldn't listen any more.
In the end it felt more like I was putting together a new system with the Canton's at the heart. I understand the need for a reviewer to be as exact in his routine, namely changing as little as possible including his listening chair, (I did that too), to be objective. But what I learned with the Canton 5.2 DC Reference speakers is that sometimes we lose ourselves in the process and not allow the music to speak for itself, to react, to listen, to enjoy.
Sure the Canton's did need more effort but I'll chalk that up to experience and will remember this review more as a journey than an auditioning. I was happy to have the Canton's push me to re-evaluate my system and just as I was happy to settle into a nightly listening with the 5.2's, I had extended my time with these gems and I was grateful.
Frank Gobl (Canton's chief designer) has once again hit the mark with the Vento inspired Reference 5.2 DC's. And as I flip through the Canton brochure I picked up at CEDIA 2009, my eyes were fixated on the new 1.2 DC Reference, the really big boys! Bring them on, this time I'm ready for them.

I mean, can we be honest? There is no way I wasn't going to love this cover:
Emma Stone in a Breton stripe — cropped or otherwise; this one is by Michael Kors — is possibly my platonic ideal of a magazine cover, second only to whenever Vogue remembers that Lupita Nyong'o always looks amazing on their covers and should be on one every year. This just has major personality — and using the "V" for their "vote" headline is clever (and a very good suggestion on their part). In addition to patriotism, Emma is promoting La La Land, which I am actually quite excited to see, and, for once the interior shoot is charming and seems to be telling an actual story (sometimes I feel like Vogue is all, "eh, I dunno. Stand her in front of a wall, then let's make it look like she was hit by a car. Oh, then I guess we turn her into a Dust Bowl schoolteacher, and then end with…ugh, who cares? Maybe a milkmaid. Whatever." Not in this case).
And, of course, nowadays one cannot be on the cover of Vogue without doing 73 Questions, it seems, and so Emma has complied. I have to admit, I was really distracted by eye-balling her apartment, but I also actually burst out laughing at a few of Emma's answers. These videos never feel 100% natural — although the SJP one might have been the best, and the DanRad one was great – but you can always tell when someone is a decent actor. Which she is:
Major bonus points for the Britney imitation, obviously.

Just about every tip on staying healthy includes a reminder to exercise. But how much exercise is enough? If your activity level is at or near zero, you should start moving, because any exercise is better than no exercise at all, says the American Heart Association. Start slow and work your way up to exercising for 30 to 60 minutes on most days of the week. Be sure to check with your health care provider before beginning an exercise program.

A young cancer patient walked the red carpet with celebrities at a special screening of the latest Disney film.
Joshua Bond, four, who lives in Borehamwood and was diagnosed with Burkitt's lymphoma in February, was one of 25 children invited to the premiere of the new Disney Pixar film, Brave.
Not only did Joshua enjoy the exclusive screening oore than six weeks before the film's actual release, but he also had the chance to meet former Spice Girl and radio presenter Emma Bunton.
Film director Mark Andrews and producer Katherine Sarafian also introduced the film and answered questions.
Mark Andrews said: "The young patients of Great Ormond Street Hospital show how brave they are on a daily basis. "Hosting an exclusive, advance premiere of Brave for them is a great way to celebrate just how courageous they are."
The premiere coincided with an announcement that Disney is helping to create a sensory garden for patients and their families at Great Ormond Street.

Two St. Paul Park women start home care service
Sandra Carson worked for years as a registered nurse in a variety of settings including a hospital and nursing home.
Then she spent three years caring for her elderly mother in her home and discovered her passion in the process.
"Nobody knows what it's like until you do it; it's just a huge responsibility," Carson said of providing at-home care. "But it was so hugely rewarding for me."
Carson often talked with her friend and coworker Eva McMullin about the joy she found in providing at-home medical care.
"She kept after me and said, you need to do this," Carson said.
Together the St. Paul Park women launched Heart to Hand Home Care, a home care agency prepared to work with clients in Washington, Ramsey and Dakota counties. After about two years of developing their business plan, they are beginning to look for clients.
Heart to Hand offers a variety of in-home care, and not all of it is medical. In order to remain in their own homes, some people need assistance with housecleaning or running errands. Others need help with bathing, grooming or getting dressed. Some just need a visitor, so companion care also is offered.
Heart to Hand emphasizes their basic health care. As a registered nurse, Carson can help clients with medication, wound treatments and other care allowed by licensed registered nurses. Heart to Hand also has four part-time certified home health aides who can assist with tasks such as bathing and grooming.
Carson and McMullin developed Heart to Hand as a state-licensed private-pay service and do not accept payment through Medicare. Instead, clients pay out of pocket or through their long-term care insurance. That was a business decision based in part on a desire to avoid some of the "red tape" that would come with receiving government-subsidized payments, McMullin said. However, they use Medicare guidelines for their client documentation.
Carson said she likes the personal aspect to home care.
"They're not just a patient in a gown in a bed any longer," she said. "They are a person in their own home."
Both have years of medical experience, Carson in providing care and McMullin mainly in administering it. They said that makes them good business partners.
Carson and McMullin are optimistic their business will grow because there is a growing population of people over 65 in Washington County and few comparable in-home care businesses.
"We just say bring it on; we're ready," Carson said.
For more information about Heart to Hand Home Care, contact Sandy Carson at 651-395-0536 or Eva McMullin at 651-280-7999, or email email@example.com.

HOLLYWOOD, Fla. - Ninety-one members of the Hollywood Police Department got together on Monday night to discuss their ongoing negotiations with the city.
Among the topics was the possibility of merging the ailing department with the Broward Sheriff's Office. The officers voted 89-2 to look into the possibility.
According to a statement issued by the Broward County Police Benevolent Association on Tuesday, police in Hollywood have grown increasingly frustrated with city, feeling undervalued as law enforcement officers. They have always fought to keep the department together, but no longer see a future for them there.
A merger with BSO could offer them pay and benefits that have been stripped from them in Hollywood.
"We have repeatedly attempted to resolve our contract disputes, but the city has been uncooperative so far," says Jeff Marano, president of the Broward County PBA, which represents Hollywood officers in collective bargaining. "The overwhelming sentiment among
our members is to stay loyal, but it's becoming clear that their loyalty is not being returned."
A flyer circulated among the officers shows that the feeling in the department is that the citizens and the city have abandoned them and that the Sheriff's Office has more to offer.
Monday's vote allows the PBA to take the initiative in exploring the possibility of a merger between the Hollywood Police Department and BSO.

(1) Mount the USB filesystem :
Code: Select all
sudo nano /etc/fstab
& insert the following code (users of the gnome version of Mint use "gedit" instead of "nano" above)
Code: Select all
# USB File system (for modem)
none /proc/bus/usb usbfs defaults 0 0
It will then mount at boot - to mount it immediately:
Code: Select all
mount -t usbfs none /proc/bus/usb
(2) Set the Terminal to use Bash as the default shell :
Code: Select all
sudo ln -sf /bin/bash /bin/sh
(3) Download the latest source http://eciadsl.flashtux.org/download/eciadsl-usermode-0.12.tar.gz
Get the tools for Gutsy or whichever compatible repository version that you will need to compile from http://packages.ubuntu.com :
If you have some sort of internet connection just install "build-essential" - but if your reading this you probably have no connection in Linux - so............
Right click the above Deb files you downloaded & select install with GDeb - you may have to fiddle around with the order they install as some depend on the other.
(4) Unpack the ECIADSL source & open a Terminal in the source directory to build & install:
Code: Select all
./configure --prefix=/usr
make install
Look in the User Guide on the ECIADSL website for building your own Synch Bin file by sniffing your USB Modem running-under windows - less hassle than trying out all the pre-compiled ones.
(5) Probe your USB Modem for the settings needed to configure it:
Code: Select all
sudo eciadsl-probe-device
& run the config program:
Code: Select all
sudo eciadsl-config-text
& start the modem:
Code: Select all
sudo eciadsl-doctor
if it ever crashes or fails to connect (as it does occasionally)
Code: Select all
sudo killall eciadsl-doctor
sudo killall eciadsl-pppoeci
sudo killall eciadsl-synch
& unplug your modem for a few seconds & try connecting as above again.
Once you've configured it start with eciadsl-start instead of eciadsl-doctor
as you don't need the verbose messages.

The unfortunate part about getting older is the fact that I can remember the times before technology. Technology has definitely made life easier as its continued to progress, but it has also taken away some of my favorite aspects of things like the internet.
Young kids today don't remember the days of dial-up internet and AOL having the monopoly on the market as far as providers go. LiveJournal and chat rooms are pretty much a thing of the past thanks to more public sites like Facebook, Tumblr and WordPress. This is great in many ways. I love these sites, but it is awful if you were one of the people who enjoyed the privacy from time to time given back in the earlier days of the internet.
You see, before everyone and everyone's parents got on social media I use to love having a place to turn to where no one I knew would read what I had to write. They would hear my issues I felt I couldn't share with family and friends and give me an outsiders perspective. Yet, I didn't have to just write in a journal for no one to read. I could write anonymously about everything on my mind and get feedback. I had a place to vent. I had a place to turn to.
Today, most of us realize there is no such thing as privacy when it comes to the internet. Your Facebook account is flooded with family, your twitter account is followed by everyone you know and your blog is publicized by sites like Google. This is great 90% of the time when you want to be heard by the masses, but what about when you need to breathe. What about when you need to share your feelings but don't want your family reading what is going on?
Technology is supposed to open us up to the world at the stroke of a few computer keys… but then why do I feel trapped by it today? I have nowhere to turn when I want to speak my mind and get feedback from those of you who read regularly even though I haven't met you. Your unbiased opinions are helpful to me and I do appreciate them. I just wish I could solicit them still.

WASHINGTON, May 11 (UPI) -- A plan to save $21 billion during the next decade by erasing tax breaks for the top five U.S. oil companies was unveiled by Senate Democrats.
The plan, designed to counter Republican demands to control the skyrocketing national debt sans new taxes, gives Democrats the opportunity to cast the solution to the debt crisis as one that needs new revenue and spending cuts, The Washington Post reported Wednesday.
President Obama has urged Congress to repeal tax breaks to big oil companies, some of which have been in place since 1920.
The proposal came in response to House Speaker John A. Boehner remarks Tuesday that tax hikes were is "off the table." During a speech Monday, he demanded more than $2 trillion in spending cuts in exchange for GOP support to increase the debt ceiling.
"We should not be drawing lines in the sand," Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said Tuesday. "It has to be a fair approach to balancing the budget. We have to do something with domestic [programs]. We have to do something on defense. And, of course, we have to do a better job with taxes."
By focusing on ending subsidies for big oil companies, Democrats are trying to force Republicans to either abandon their opposition to new taxes or defend taxpayer subsidies for some of the world's most profitable corporations, observers told the Post.
Republican leaders reiterated their resistance to tax increases, whether through elimination of subsidies or other changes in the tax code.
"We're not going to raise taxes," Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said. "That was decided in last November's election. I think the American people pretty clearly believe that we have the deficit problem because we spend too much, not because we tax too little."

Don't miss a story. Like us on Facebook. Like Dallas News' Facebook Page
Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker on Saturday urged his fellow Republicans in Texas to be optimistic about the party's future prospects and called on them to remain true to their core beliefs.
"We need to care more about the next generation than the next election," Walker told about 900 people at the Dallas County Republican Party's Reagan Day Dinner at the Omni Hotel in downtown Dallas.
Walker last year survived a recall election staged mostly by Democrats and unions upset by his moves to end collective bargaining in the state.
As the GOP tries to recover from Mitt Romney's loss against President Barack Obama, Walker and other successful Republicans are being groomed as potential presidential candidates in 2016.
Walker's speech dealt mostly with education, an issue he believes is critical to the nation's future. He said Republicans have the right approach, including developing systems that hire and fire teachers based on merit, not longevity.
"We're the ones who care about education," he said. "We care about students, not educational bureaucracy."

Mary Lou Thies' dining room is a little different from most.
In addition to the table, chairs and credenza, it contains two sewing machines and a rack of clothing. That's because the room also is Thies' workroom, where she sews costumes for the Limelight Theater Guild. (The group recently changed its name from the Bensenville Community Theater.)

Hey all.. Hope you are had a great weekend..Things were busy here..Lots of running around, but not alot of work accomplished...Wow only 49 days left till spring... Time is flying by already...I have 29 containers winter sown.. Some are smaller containers for seeds that I only had a few of each.. I have sprouts up in several of them..I think I need to move them where they dont get such full sun as they do on the South side of the house.. Thats the only place they are hidden from view tho..I want to put them up on the deck but i can hear Dh complaining already, so I guess until it gets really hot I wont worry about them to much..I need to get some more soil, there is so many other things I want to get started...Its supposed to be warmer tomorrow so maybe I can get started on cleaning out a flower bed up front to add my babies to and start planning to add a few more..DH will love to hear that im sure. lol Im going to look you guys up on facebook..

Johnny Spanish - Get It Now
Back in January, when Johnny Spanish brought us unreleased jam On the Shelf, we stated that the Kentucky spitter was planning to drop a new, Ghost Beats and The Composer-produced mixtape in February. Obviously, given the fact that it isn't in your iPod yet, the project's release has been pushed back. What's behind the delays? We can only speculate but, judging by new single Get It Now (a Booth-exclusive world premiere), a woman might be to blame. Over the simmering synth production of Oliver Stoned, a member of the aforementioned beat crew, Spanish gives listeners the lowdown on his erotic adventures with a new chick. Complete with hook vocals by the artist himself, this steamy selection is just one of many bangers slated for inclusion on Johnny Spanish's forthcoming street album, Home. Keep it locked for release details on the set, as well as all the latest tunes.
