Travis In Austin

I've never seen a stock one with a magnet. As you know, in aviation, oil changes and filtration are a completely different thing. Every oil change a sample goes off to a lab.

Why don't they magnetize drain plugs?

Merry Christmas, Y'all

Lot of posts on Super tweeters in here. Here is one that has the sensitivity for Klipsch, https://www.madisoundspeakerstore.com/bullet-tweeters/fostex-t900a-top-mount-horn-super-tweeter/ Tannoy has a well reviewed nice looking one, but it say max sensitivity is 95db. From a Tannoy?

I hear great things about that Super-tweeter, starts with an M. I have posted on it in the past, I will see if I can find.

When I lived there he was in the same place. Just wondered if he ever moved to something gated, or modernized. I was one street over from him for awhile.

Is he still in the Scotch 80's?

I do like the Bourbon, but it is the sweetest of the Whiskas. Are you suggesting sour mash?

Thank you for this, it is for sure a keeper. I agree on the Habana Club.

I love Pappy's, but I'm down to a bottle and a half. I was thinking JB for the Nogueira. Travis

Does anyone have a good receipe for homemade eggnog drink? Either rum or bourbon based???????

Cool, I'm in Rockport for Christmas, let me know when I can come over for a listen.

hey Tim, looking good. You still out there @jimjimbo

This devolved quickly, and don't have time to keep track of it. Gonna lock this down, maybe look at it next year, or let Chad deal with it. Better yet, @Chief bonehead can address it all when he has time,.it's his bally wick. I heard he has some free time next May. If the OP isn't asking a rhetorical question, and would really like an answer, shoot me a PM and I will try and get you an anewer, in general, why they are referring to that company, and not others. In the meantime, Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays.

That is true, Palladium are not even book matched. But, sequential numbers don't mean they are book matched either.

That is true, Shavings will only get to filter if oil pickup sucks them up. But if they are sitting on the bottom of the pan and are not sucked up, they are not suspended and they are not going to slide out of the pan either with that last Oz of oil.. They will just sit and do nothing, it isn't a concern is it? it would just sit there doing nothing. It's the debris that is circulating through the engine that is a concern. Whyou is it they don't magnetized The real key to all of this is the quality of the filter that is selected and the partial rating, 15 to 20 microns. Not the 40 to 70 you can see with some OEM replacementS. What I have found is that experience doesn't have any correlation with proper oil and lubrication maintenance. I had an airplane mechanic a long time ever ago who wanted me to test every oil change and get a particle count. We could tell the oil was working and the filters were doing what they needed to do, or if there was a problem. If you aren't concerned about the filter, and putting in whatever they recommend, having every last drop out of the pan isn't going to matter. It is much more important to know the filter capability of what you have, and what you are replacing it with, Blackstone labs does auto oil, airplane oil testing, and a lot of other. The particle testing will check 6 or so sizes, from 4 to 70 mikes and you can see what is, or isn't being trapped. People who obsess about the Shavings at the bottom of the pan can buy one of the drain plugs with a magnet, they claim it will collect it all, and join in that debate.

Pretty level-headed reasoning. You have the only pair in existence, as far as you know, that are not sequenced. You will never sell these anyway, you will give them to your kids when the 75th comes out and there friend will set cold drinks on top of them and they will have water rings. They will blast them when you are not around and you will be getting calls from your neighbors . Twenty years or 30 years from now they will belong to your grandkids and they will have some nicks, and a Ding or two, and they will still sound awesome. You will have 100th ed, only 100 pairs made, and you will insist they be non~sequential . You will have started a trend. Merry Christmas early, what a great present.

What's a steep refund? Were they discounted because they were non~sequential? Anyone else on here buy a set of these? Where they sequential? Maybe they are book matched and the labels for the next in order got jammed and so they used the next numbered set. Maybe he just needs a new set of lables?

Great for a center with limited room, which is what Roy designed that for, it won't come close to a Jube the way Roy. designed it. You can put that 402 horn on top of pretty much anything, and it's going to kick ***, but compared to what? If the price makes sense you want to go 2 way, K-69, the current EV (or alternative that Chris has had good success with) and go from there. You can try Bob's passives, his Fatials, TADS, B&C'so, etc. Then you can start messing with Amps, SS for LF, tubeso for HF. Pretty much everybody here that is giving you advice started with 2way, K-69, EV DX-38. One year Roy found the TADs and for a limited time had a source for those that is long gone but people have continued to find then. Then they all worked through a progression of what worked for them and what they preferred. I think we are going into ten years now of tweaking this stuff. Every person who has chimed in here, and I was present when most of them heard Jube for first time, jaws dropped when they heard them for first time, with an ancient pro audio SS amp and a $39 CD player, they tend to forget what a high level they were at when they started. They all pretty much bought a pair (that didn't already own them) if that tells you anything. Get a pair, listen for a month, you will be blown away. Then let your budget/taste dictate whether you want to try and get another 3 or 4 percent out of them because that is what you are talking about here. In terms of value, I think everyone here will agree, to a person, that you can't approach the sound of stock Jubes for under 25K, maybe 30K now.

Now I understand your confusion, it's not a siphon, it's a vacuum. It will continue to suck air long after it is no longer sucking liquid, just like a straw at the bottom of a glass.

Ues shavings can sit, but you shoukdnt change oil that has been sitting, you should change it when it is warm and you get shavings, and debris.to the filter. I have heard people say that the debris is the first stuff to come out from then plug, but then I have heard people who really know what they are talking about say that just isn't the case at all if you get oil warm, it ends up in the filter, like it is supposed to. It isn't like sediment at the bottom of the ocean, if you get it warm and it is circulating it ends of in the filter. All I know is MB says Mobile 1 every 10K, they use extraction at dealer, and 100K is where they are just getting broken in.

Yes that right, it socks all of the liquid out until it is near empty and the it starts sucking air and liquid until it is no more liquid, and all air. Pretty much like a straw in a glass. MB and BMW are designed for extraction and so you can get as much out, if not more, by extraction. Other makes and models, maybe not so much. But let's say you change oil regularly, before recommend life/mileage, what's the problem if you only get it down to 4 OZ? If you are changing it warm the debris, which is what you really care about, not the color. It's all going to be black again on an hour anyway.
