This type of filter, a capacitor and a resistor, is called an RC filter. It's pass frequency is equal to 1/(2*pi*R*C), R being the resistance (impedence would be the proper term but we are making an approximation) of the speaker (we are...

You are reading the diagram correctly. The capacitor effectively forms a high-pass filter with the impedence of the speaker. I can't say that it's necessarily the BEST crossover network, but it seems to be what the manufacturer is...

The best advice I can give is start looking at datasheets. See if there is a suitable SMD component for all of the semis in the dynalo. Off hand, I think you could do it.

I've performed parts of this work many times, and it ranks as one of my fav pieces to listen to and/or play. Admittedly I've only heard a couple recordings but they've all either been very well performed but poorly recorded or...

I've had Senn HD-25-1's for a few months now, and I gotta be honest they are dang good for rock. They've got the mid-bass punch of the grados, but the low end extends a lot deeper. The highs are a bit recessed though. I've found they...

I like the album Damnation by Opeth. Their stuff is really well-recorded, the acoustic guitar work is awesome, and the album has a well-balanced, well-blended sound. Another album of theirs I like to use is Ghost Reveries, again, as it...

3rd is the illustrious Jude, and I recognise the guy in the second one but not sure who it is

Yes, most equipment does have a shared ground, unless it's balanced. Considering you are using RCAs, I would surmise your system is not balanced so no worries there. The thing you want to watch out for is connecting both grounds to one...

GAH I will be back in town a mere week before this meet! Sadly I must return to my new home in NY before this meet takes place. I was really hoping to get another chance to blast some Dimmu Borgir in the Wadia listening room
