  1. I thought it a good thread, talking about Klipsch Professional, the mighty 510 and 402 horns of which I own both, Jubes, 396, LaScala, etc. etc. But with one wrong step out of bounds you get the flag. And don’t bother throwing the red challenge flag, not worth your time and/or effort to try to bail what appears to be a sinking ship. Almost sad to see from a twenty year member. Calling Elon - Elon!?
  2. Procedures and rules are fluid. Much like an airplane aisle - do not tread upstream.
  3. I say nothing - I know NOTHING .
  4. I do believe a non-Klipsch modification was posted along with a word George Carlin might have said in his 7 dirty word list - Cr-tes. All of which is verboten!!!
  5. My findings and your statement on the “game changer” of 2” inch exit drivers ie K691/510 continues the theme of the dominance of Klipsch Professional to their consumer line. Along with openness, detail, accuracy I’ll add effortless -
  6. This is somewhat an orange vs tangerine comparison but my 396ll w 510/K691 combination pretty much lays waste to my stock LaScala mid/tweet top end. And I’m surprised to say as much as I love LS horn bass the 396’s with a moderately sized sealed sub is a force to be reckoned with. The 510/691 combo doesn’t put fear into the 402/Faital HP but it sounds really, really good. I’m pretty sure it’s superior to the stock LS top end.
  7. — the pervert in me asks - “ribbed for her pleasure” 🤔
  8. It does make you wonder if the news was Only the news back in “the day”? Was it __?
  9. “tried to not buy” (back out) of buying — until his legal team told him - you’re F - - -‘d
  10. Talking-heads on a couple business outlets say Twitters actual value is between $10-15B. Saying this goes down as one of the top five blunders of business acquisitions. But he’s also smarter than the average bear and will most likely be drinking sweet lemonade from the rotten lemons he bought. After all in just a relative few short years his team is able to recover once disposable rockets that government backed NASA never had the foresight to accomplish. Like most projects of this magnitude only time will tell if Twitter will tweet or have its wings clipped -
  11. Happy to own both LS and Underground Jubes. High yield investments with “okay” fidelity while appreciating -

    What I Got Today!

    How does the saying go - that ain’t your fathers Sporty 😎
  13. A smaller herd is easier to control - simple math
  14. As I get older I worry more about other things sagging than my LS woofers -

    The Mavericks

    My crowd days are over too. Jazz shows at the junior college music hall, 3-400 people. More my speed these days. But always wanting to optimize my time, I trim my toenails during the show. No one’s objected - yet.
  16. There in lies the problem, I was not aware I enabled BitLocker. So, to my knowledge, I never knew of a key to save. I’ve been chasing my tail trying to log in to my account (account doesn’t exist) start a new account using my email or phone number where an account already exists or the code sent to access the BitLocker won’t verify. And of course there is not a human to assist. How it’s acceptable for a company to lock you from using your own property is beyond me. I’ve basically given up but know I will Never buy a machine with MS software again.
  17. I have a year old Dell w/MS 11. Only use it with an external hard drive to feed a dac. About three weeks ago machine goes into BitLocker security mode. No way, no how have I been able to obtain the security key required to open my own machine. At this point I own nothing more than a folding plastic panel. The frustration level is beyond explanation -

    Upon further review it was decided Director of National Intelligence was an oxymoron-
  19. Thanks Dave. Great explanation of a highly technical subject. Taking your “no dips, down to the speaker” comment to another level I find placing the preamp close to the ceiling, followed with the amp(s) a couple feet lower and the speakers of course “downhill” from the amp(s). There’s no doubt this sloping effect “turbocharges” the electrons as they race to the speakers. For those that can’t comprehend the equation just visualize a downhill skier going faster and faster - you’re welcome.
  20. An off-handed comment on a podcast and actual production are very different things. May just be idle talk - a teaser to stir the troops ?
  21. That’s not the company line. If it’s green, there can be no downsides.
  22. He named himself. I believe he takes pride with that. And there may well be a story behind the name. But, good luck -
  23. Monitored with a dash of personal invasion. I mean how else would I get an invoice from the NJ Turnpike Authority for my license plate number (counterfeited) being used to run NJ tolls? Oh yeah, it’s a motorcycle plate currently on a bike of mine in my garage.
  24. “tax credits to buy electric cars”. And in near lock-step auto makers raise electric vehicle prices near the same credit. While the dealer network gouges consumers with +++++ MSRP markups.
