| Any rock fans out there? Hello Dave_72 and thanks for the info. I know that differences between studio versions and touring versions of bands exist all the time. The new "13" features the drummer from Rage against the Machine. Really would be cool if the 4 founding Godfat... | |
| Any rock fans out there? Cheers! Aging rockers unite! 50+ year old headbanger here. Just ordered "13" myself off Amazon. 3/4's of 'Sabbath is well worth the wait, but I'd have liked to see Bill Ward on this project. Iommi is the master of riffage. Note: They are touring N... | |
| Distance makes the heart grow fonder. I couldn't agree more. Must be some kind of psycho-acoustic thing going on inside our brains? One of the other things that helps with being overly critical or analytical with my system is booze! Have a few glasses of wine or a nice nip or two of s... | |
| Is a dimmer noisy when it's turned OFF? I have halogens on dimmers, and yes they caused hell with my system when i had them "on". The level of buzz and hum introduced into the sound varied with the amount of dimming used. It was VERY audible. Lutron, and Leviton both make a nifty gadget... | |

Get back to me, and this thread once you've got them set up and dialed in. Be interested to read what your experience is once you've lived with them for a bit.... | |
| LP Disaster Oh man! What a drag. I had the same thing happen to me some years ago. But I didn't catch it as early as you did, and ended up with a much bigger clean up and restoration project. Most of my paper record sleeves were stuck to the LP's and the albu... | |
| Why so many JL Audio Fathom subs for sale I wonder Howdy Jp1208. So you ARE operating them in a Master-Slave configuration. That is interesting. Having not owned JL Audio before, I have often wondered what differences may exist if coupling one to the other as opposed to running them in stereo mode... | |

| Why so many JL Audio Fathom subs for sale I wonder Well you know what? You've all convinced me that buying a JL Audio sub , maybe 2, is going to be ok.
