Heavy loss for our types.

Pretty sure the inverse square law would negate any observable effect in most real world setups.
But I wonder, maybe if you took a large speaker coil, just the coil, and placed a mic right up inside it.... it would essentially become a (probably very inefficient) transformer.

So I've always heard about the idea of "stretch tuning," which I understand to be something along the line of, "once you make it out of the middle, ignore the tuner and train/ trust your ears, as harmonic truth and perfect equal temperament are both false trails."
True? Or have I misunderstood?

If you service it yourself, what's your time worth?
What's a good tech's time worth for the same service?
Is a good tech available?
What's the return on investment?

There's an ancillary to "good, fast, cheap: pick 2" in there.

I did a thing a few years ago with a turntable between the speaker and the mic. On the turntable was a flat wall, so that as the turntable spun it would be blocking or not. Later I made more of a baffle, like a bundle of square wooden tubes. You could put multiple mics around it for stereo and beyo...

I got a Martin Dread jr. for desk guitar to replace the LX1 I've been using. The LX1 is mostly fine, but the dread jr has electric out and a bit more bass and fuller sound.

I'd be interested to hear some comparison clips!

I've been working on something like this off and on this year. I did all the edits and general utility type stuff in a new file version of the master take, as it helped make sure everything would flow properly and have a general set of sounds appropriate for this specific project. But as I work more...

Twice in a year and a half, I wonder what this might bode. Their bandcamp Friday's have seemed to be one of the few good things for small acts in the streaming oriented present

These are great. Nick's version made me think the Lexx theme (about 30 seconds in) https://youtu.be/Vo6ebIy4COw?si=zk1XmA5dmNpo3aIR
