Travis In Austin

Whoa. Can't wait to see some photos of that. Our friend @MMurg bought a pair very early on, more blind. I think he may have heard the underground Jubilees and bought the Heritage Jubilee's, but I don't get the feeling he is entirely convinced yet (that's a joke) which is easy to tell from his reviews on here. Looking forward to yours Steve

Some of the answers you are looking for may be in here:

@Erik Mandaville will get a notification but I'm not optimistic he will see it. He used to be here all the time but he hasn't logged on to the forum since 2011. You can search for his posts and he may have even posted about that AMP in here.

I have been wondering about the vinyl clubs myself. I read some reviews on some recently, there is a big difference between them and how happy people are with them. I went from a record kit to machine vacuume based many years ago, but the one I had that worked the best was spin doctor, I will try and find a link. travis

Welcome to the forum. You will get some great tips on this.

The Auctioned Set was for a preproduction pair, the “winner” had choice of Walnut or Black, and they are 1 of 1. Not sure if they will be 1R and 1L or Pre-Production 001 and 002.

I think you will have more traction if you post a new Thread. This one is 20 years old.

That is so cool!

I think you are getting a 2” mid driver with a horn with Mumps on both the LS and the KHorn if I heard correctly.

You are obviously out of your element and just plane wrong. It’s not even a close question. Didn’t you want @Chief bonehead to sell you a couple of extended phase plugs for your drivers? What do you think the chances of Roy getting someone a pair of who thinks he can copy them with impunity? I have to do this every year or two, never fails. Here is the current statute: § 271. Infringement of patent (a) Except as otherwise provided in this title, whoever without authority makes, uses, offers to sell, or sells any patented invention, within the United States or imports into the United States any patented invention during the term of the patent therefor, infringes the patent. [Makes or uses. A buddy making you a pair and giving them to you and you use them is infringement. Doing both of those things are also crimes under the federal criminal code. Most likely if someone make a pair they are not going to be pursued either civilly or criminally, but you don’t know. I have seen and represented several people pursued very, very aggressively by ASCAP for uploading songs onto Napster a long time ago. If enough people start handing out enough of something for free a parent or copyright holder will take action. In the case of a patent holder, they are required to take action if they become aware of an infringement or they risk waiving the patent. ] (b) Whoever actively induces infringement of a patent shall be liable as an infringer. [this is a surprise to a lot of people. Talking your buddy into making a patented product make you an infringer] Completely wrong again. Fools try this all the time and have zero success. Big companies who have something to lose get a Freedom To Operate (FTO) opinion by a patent attorney, make a new invention (improved doesn’t even remotely cut it) then file a patent application and then they can fight it out in getting the patent approved.

Mookie requested I delete all of the posts past a certain point, including yours, as awesome as it was. Go figure. Stay out of this thread.

Where's the photos?

Yes, the next Listening Lounge will be an entire one on the Heritage Subwoofer, updates, etc.

The Undeground Jubilee bass bin wasn't patented, so that would be zero sued on the Jube Bass Bin Clones. Jubilee with a drone did implicate a patent, and Pannacea Engineering was hit with a cease and desist letter when he posted on his website he was planning to make and market a drone version of the Jubilee bass bin. He walked that back extremely quickly (on this Forum no less) It doesn't take a lawsuit typically after getting a cease and desist from a patent/trademark litigation firm. To your point, if an infringer never tells another living soul that they have duplicated a patented product, and it never sees the light of day outside a residence, and even then the patented item sits behind a grille, etc. the patent holder is never going to know, there will never be a need to send them a C&D, or serve them with a lawsuit. Surprisingly, though, people who are wired to go to the effort to copy a patented product are just not wired in a way that they can be content with the satisfaction of the improved sound, picture, or whatever it is. They are compelled to share there creation with the whole world. I have seen it over and over on this forum, and other forums as well.

Going good. Austin is, well, Austin. How are you all doing?
