    Har Hard remnants on the woofer, nothing on the cap.

    Found that LSR 305 dustcap...

    The cat had managed to get it under the sub. It came out unscathed. It appears to be some kind of plastic, and so does the place it goes. Oh speaker builders - any glue to seek or avoid?

    Guitars walk me through the minefield

    Looking at the pictures above reminds me - smaller bodied acoustics are more comfortable to play, especially seated, than big drednaughts and jumbos. Throwing your arm over a big guitar wears away at your shoulder after a few hours.

    Guitars walk me through the minefield

    Thanks. Are we talking acoustic guitars or electrics? No matter, I got tired of the difference between seated and standing ergonomics years ago, and play electrics with a strap, even when sitting. The other difficulty is that barre chords in the lower positions cause you to turn the wrist...

    Academy Oscars 2018

    I love movies, but I’ve never been able to sit through the Oscars. I do pay attention to what won, when it’s all over, take it as recommendations. I guess I’m going to have to see 3 Billboards and The Shape of Water.

    "Apple Homepod: a Speaker to Reinvent Home Music"

    While I agree that HomePod operates in the same space as the better small speakers if this kind, Sonos comes to mind, it sounds better, and that chsracterization misses the real point; that it sounds that way, and almost identical, anywhere you put it, and anywhere you put yourself in the room...

    A rant ...

    This. He’s railing against anything that might challenge what he wants to believe. He’d rather define an alternate reality than risk being wrong.

    State of movie theaters: mini rant.

    I guess I’m lucky, too. There’s a Silverspot cinema right up the road. Reserved seating you can purchase online, huge, cushy, seats, great picture and sound quality. They even have good food, but it’s pricey. I love going to the theater.

    Does anyone have any contacts ay JBL?

    Yeah, I get that. At this point, I just want the specs. I can figure it out, but “I don’t have that information, from technical support at JBL is a slacker’s answer. Of course they have that information. I just need someone who’s willing to put in just a bit of effort for a customer. Very...

    Does anyone have any contacts ay JBL?

    The dust cap on one of my LSR 305 woofers is missing. I suspect the cat. Calling JBL, first they told me they don’t sell the caps, just replacement woofers. I found this frustrating, but understandable, and went searching for third party suppliers. I quickly realized I was going to need exact...

    Eleven (11) Most Hated American Companies

    Almost. Government intervention is much more commonly found in industries that tend toward or require monopoly. In this case, the order of the chicken and the egg is clear and critical.
