Thank you @Waxx. An informative reply that takes a load off :)

I have multiples of JBL 306P MK II stored in near-perfect conditions for 3+ yr., still brand-new and never used. Relative to capacitors (or some other sensitive parts), does anyone have suggestions as to what precautions, if any, should be taken when powering them on for the first time after...

@Sacha You are quite right...duh. Don't know where my head's at. I CAN easily follow @staticV3's good suggestion, given that my Antelope Zodiac Gold has connectivity to spare. The main reason I tried to keep solely to the Studio is to avoid using the miniDSP 2 x 4HD, which I KNOW is the way to...

Greetings To All, The Genelecs are almost here, the Studio is on its way. Am not in a hurry. The listening room has HIGH ceiling and 3300 cu ft (93.4 cu m) of space. Bare System: PC/Lynx AES16e > D-sub/XLR > Studio > XLR > Genelec. The Question: IF…IF, down the road, I wished to integrate two...

Thank you kindly, sir! Don't know how many times I've told my wife to "read the manual, first"!!!! I DID think of "bastardazing" an XLR cable but dismissed that thought, supposing the Genelec input would not appreciate a non-110 Ohm cable...but if the Finn says it's ok, who am I to argue...

Don't think that's possible. The 8030C's don't have RCA inputs, only XLR - hence the problem! I can substitute some other "Studio" sub for the SVS but it won't have the small form factor, unfortunately, that being a priority.

Greetings All, Am trying to help out a friend who requires a high quality, compact, portable desktop system, something I have no experience with. For that matter, have never used subwoofers in my own audio system, as speakers are full-range. His chain: laptop > USB > Topping DX7 Pro > Genelec...

Greetings One And All ! For two days only, Jul. 15 & 16, these JBL lovelies are ~40% off !! One of their reps sent me a note to that effect, don't know if he's solely responsible for the deal, but you do have to call him specifically to take advantage. Nick Dutiel @ sweetwater.com : (800)...

Tapping is something I've needed to do very little of. The usual 40-pc standard Tap Set from the likes of Grainger, et al, include tap wrenches that are underwhelming in efficiency. A number of weeks back, I began a project that required not only numerous 1/4" taps but taps that required...

It's been my (limited) experience that having a constant resistance path is obviously and audibly beneficial compared to one that isn't. To the extent that the 8C's might prefer to see an 110 ohm incoming stream, at least initially, one type of possible solution is provided by Neutrik here...

Yes, noticed the two different versions, the B version the better way to go for us. My current 2Ch system is also balanced, including a basic, good quality isolation transformer that will handle 16A; really wanted to control the common mode noise factor, very definite benefits. Glad you have the...

Your introduction of the MC-4 into the equation sure caught me by surprise! And the decision to search for, etc was almost instant. Shared the new, alternate pursuit with the other half of my heart; she was taken equally by surprise, was a little hesitant, initially. Passing on the benefit of...

Top 'O The Morning Sal! Thank You!!!! Before I performed my imitation of ZZ Flops last night, had thought of a PM to Mr. Savage for the how-to, but you saved me that side-excursion. Appreciate the focused view on the expenditure aspect. One intriguing new wrinkle pertinent to that issue is...

Likewise; apart from wireless app commands, everything around here is hardwired. I love the humor in some of his other writings, like the good Dr. Toole, just broader :-) Very human.... Had a look at that Lexicon MC-4 - VERY appealing despite its age. My single meh......no xlr outs, but could...

That has little to do with multichannel which is served (sic) better via file download/storage/playback. That is most likely so; but in the specific case of Satellite Internet as the sole means, here, there's no possibility for that type of download, sad but true. I'd add more issues, but that...

Good stuff, guys - and most welcome. My ethics stand is to purchase whatever it might be from the person providing a service, at least up to a point. like you. Some of the vendors on this side of the border seem to feel obliged somehow, or justified, in mark-ups that are simply outrageous -...

Thank you, Fitzcaraldo125, for your thoughtful elucidation on the issue. Come to think of it, there is a possibility of visiting a high-end shop in Calgary, a 4 hr. drive, for the stated purpose; will have to go to Alberta, south of Calgary, anyway, in Oct., plus can stay with good friends...

Seems that for some reason my e-mail was NOT prompted with the responses you all have provided, thought the topic was no longer of interest.... sorry! Also, haven't yet figured out how copy/paste a boxed quote (cannot find anything on this site relating to that), but that's no biggie :-) Before...

"sat. internet" = Satellite Internet or Internet via Satellite A few years back, Linn Records had offered some free downloads around Xmas time, a promotional, welcome gesture. Was unable to get a complete download, i.e. breaks in between packets, etc. Speeds have improved somewhat, now, but...

Thank you muchly, Kal! The first point would have made for a very unpleasant, unexpected gotcha! The second resolves a large uncertainty - not that it can affect the actual connectivity issue, such as it is, between server > pre-pro. That now leaves me with a single, but good, choice.
