| Jl audio fathom f212v2 noise and hum Are these brand new or used? | |
| JL Audio F110 Fathom pops... Another A+ for JL's out of warranty service. I had them go through my F112 and I ended up with an almost new subwoofer with just about everything replaced except the cabinet and driver for $300. | |
| 20 Year Old Amplifiers compared to 2017 Mike has a lot of Takachi cases left over because of folks upgrading their original orders in his first three or four lots. Most people decided to upgrade from the Takachi case and wait for him to finish production of his own beefier upgraded case... | |
| 20 Year Old Amplifiers compared to 2017 Chrshanl37, I'm only about 50 hrs. into the break-in process and most say you need 200 hrs. on the amp to hear the final outcome. It has changed quite a bit since first out of the box. I posted my initial impressions here @ Audiocircle's discussio... | |
| 20 Year Old Amplifiers compared to 2017 These endless arguments about whether all properly designed amplifiers sound the same are a bit amusing. As a previous post noted, "certain unique speakers present loading that will cause good amplifiers to sound slightly different." Arguments ari... | |
| Expectations for warranty repair timing I went through the exact three month same wait for a Marantz SA11S1 "repair" only to have Marantz eventually throw in the towel and admit they couldn't provide repair parts for it because the laser assembly was no longer available and the engineer... | |
| Sorbathane under granite slabs for speaker bases? If you go over to "Audiocircle" that website has a group discussion devoted to Herbie's products best uses/applications. As far as similarities between Herbie's products and sorbothane, I suppose they are similar in that they are both viscoelastic... | |
| Sorbathane under granite slabs for speaker bases? If I read your proposed installation correctly, the unusual variable I doubt any of us has worked with is the "hollow five inch high tile shelf" that your speakers will be placed on. Your speakers are fairly heavy (75 lbs. or so) and it has been m... | |
| Expectations for warranty repair timing You are so right lousyreeds1, a little communication would go a long way in these matters. It never ceases to amaze me how poorly so many companies perform with regard to keeping customers informed about the status of orders, repairs, etc. | |
| Expectations for warranty repair timing In my experience, one must temper impatient desire for the return of one's gear with a realistic appraisal of the manufacturer's size and scale of operation. If you have a component from a one or two man shop, a month's wait is nothing unusual. I'... | |
| Which cartridge should I upgrade to now? I'll second the recommendation for the Audiomods tonearm. I upgraded from a RB250 to the Audiomods and have been extremely pleased with the improvements. One of the great audio bargains IMO. | |
| Magnet Wire Question I have to agree with Don c55. Why bother making those yourself when Anti-Cables are available so readily and cheaply? Plus, if you don't care for the sound of them, Anti-Cables will at least have some residual resale value. | |
| Anyone Try this? The four feet on the outriggers of my Tidal speakers are basically a roller bearing support. I installed 1/8" thick dense felt pads on the bottom of the feet and have noticed no audible change vs. the footer's stainless steel surface contacting th... | |
| Whats the weirdest concert you ever attended? Martykl, your drunken Chris Wood tale reminded me off a couple alcohol fueled shows I saw in the early 70's. The Kinks, I believe it was in the Tampa Armory, were really into partying that night. Ray Davies got so drunk he could barely stand up pa... | |
| Whats the weirdest concert you ever attended? Tubegroover, I saw Alice around 1970 or so (in Tampa) and while he wasn't the weirdest I've seen, it ranks near the top for sure. It sure was the LOUDEST concert I've ever been to, my ears rang for a day after that show. Glad I haven't subjected m... |
