Sound coming from JL Audio F 113
I will check, but I am pretty sure the sub is out of warranty. What is strange, is that I hear the white noise when the sub is switched to off. When I switch to on, it stops.

Glad to hear you loved the William Tell bi wire cables.  I just ordered some, but unfortunately need 15 feet. Can’t wait to get them.  
Beatles Get Back documentary
After watching the first episode, I have to agree with Johnto. While some parts are fascinating, there is just too much meandering and downtime. Other than Paul, the other 3 Beatles seemed to lack focus and the episode could have easily been conde...

What were the radio stations of your youth that helped you on your music/audio journey?
WLYV Fort Wayne In late 1960’s and early 1970’s. Also WOWO in Fort Wayne.  Also, as others mentioned, listened to  CKLW in Windsor Canada at times. I thought it was cool to listen to a station from Canada at the time. 
Focal, B&W or Martin Logan
It never fails that every time a B&W speaker is mentioned all the negative comments come out. I am curious what other equipment was used when you all heard them. I happen to own 802D3’s with a Classe pre and Classe amps. I find them balanced, ... 
Do you ever miss vintage gear you no longer have?

I will also add I have B&W 802d3’s with dual Jl Audio F 113 subs.  To me, with the subs,  the music is balanced, full, clear, and lively.  I really feel like I am sitting in front of the artist.
