Those pesky cats get everywhere. A week back, I'd painted the door frame on the girlfriends house and went out. Came back to find the neighbour's cat had fallen asleep against it. Had to cut the poor fella free. But worst of all, had to sand the door back and go again. Not sure if the neighbour knows why their cat has a short back and side or a dark grey stripe across it...

Any pics of these out in the wild yet?

Downdown's comment about power output is correct. Hopefully you have a pedal board where you can put the power under the board. What I did, was run a power tank thing for all the pedals but would use something like this - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/UK-240v-AC-DC-12v-2A-5-5mm-Mains-Adaptor-Charger-fits-Bose-SoundLink-Mini-/391628807448?hash=item5b2ee55d18 - for my power hungry digital pedal (think it was MB SuperSynth or something like that - I don't use a fx board currently). I would split the mains - one to the big PSU, one to the power tank underneath the board... (in fact, my power tank thingy had a mains through for daisy chaining PSUs). Hope this helps.

Tape is better than conductive paint unless you paint that stuff really thick... and the paint is a lot more expensive.

[quote name='obbm' timestamp='1480326705' post='3183307'] It has been known to happen with sealed speaker cabs and the wrong type of socket but not with an amp. [/quote] Yes - actually, now you say that, I have seen that... but of course, a lot of things are now Speakon. But amps! That's some vibration.

I've never seen a jack being vibrated out of a jack socket!

[quote name='Kevin Dean' timestamp='1480325460' post='3183290'] I use active 12" EV subs 700w & come in at 45lbs each they are the lightest I could find ,I did consider using my BF compacts with a 1000w digital bass amp but they are not deep enough in dimension to take a pole to support top speakers . [/quote] If you are into 12" lightweight subs, the RCF 702 ASIIs weigh in 17.5kg. I don't think the BF Compacts are tuned to do subwoofer duties - I think Alex is expecting people to take the FR800 with the subwoofer DSP if they want a dedicated BF sub (that is, ignoring this new 18" offering)

It depends if the the device which is being switched requires proprietary circuitry... otherwise, I used to make mine out of Hammond boxes and simple latched or unlatched switches (depending upon application). Now - and thats if I can be bothered with it, I have a Boss FS-5L for my rack mount tuner mute. (I tend to turn around and push the button on the front now).

Any news what is happening crossover wise? Or would it be a speaker management system that would need to split to the tops and subs? That's an impressive lack of weight!

One of the biggest differences between the LD and Sennheiser, audio aside, is the RF section. The LD has fixed channels. If you are planning on running a lot of wireless, you are going to be running into intermod and interference problems pretty quickly if you can't fine tune your systems. Yes, you can choose a number of channels if you are using the same gear, (e.g. IEMs) but if you start throwing in Mics... and even add the complexity of different manufacturers, you're going to run into problems pretty quickly. UE900s - defo, they are a bargain under 200 - the eglobal link has been bounded about a bit previously. I wouldn't be looking to buy them for anywhere near the rrp!

[quote name='mrtcat' timestamp='1479828036' post='3179604'] I've been very pleased with them but have nothing to benchmark them against. I'm sure I won't be but, if the UE900s aren't a big step up from what I already find very acceptable, i'd be really disappointed. [/quote] Listen to the live version of Hotel California from The Eagles Hell Freezes Over album and tell me you can't hear a difference!

JH Audio... between 10 and 15 percent off.

Threaded inserts would solve the problem so it'll never move... however, if you want to do that mod to a 70s Fender is one you'd have to think carefully about.

Funny enough we should be talking about driver count. And now... if you happen to have a spare $3000... https://www.64audio.com/product/1964-A18-Custom-In-Ear-Monitor 18 drivers per side. I think Vitaliy and Jerry are in a battle of cramming drivers. To think that 1964 were the "affordable" option not so long ago, I defo think they are gunning for being the top name in the market... and I believe that this is the first time that they've trumped the competition on driver count. (and priced a flagship above Jerry Harvey's $2725 Layla). Looking to see what Noble and UE do next! And Empire Ears... thought they would be happy with their 14 a side...

go for 4 2x10s. At least you will be able to carry them then... and take the appropriate number for the gig.

[quote name='MrPring' timestamp='1479742737' post='3178886'] Is the isolation that much of a factor in the difference between the 2 companies though? -26dB vs -20dB [/quote] It depends how loud your surrounding environment is - if you are on a silent stage, then not a lot. If you are on a stage full of animals, then yes. But what I will say, is that -26dB is a great more isolation than -20db (remember dB is not linear!) [quote] The price and the sound quality are the deciding factors at the moment. [/quote] Naturally. At this price point, there's very little to choose between the two. The two (JH vs 64) aren't better or worse than each other, they have different sound signatures. Some people prefer the response of the 64s, others prefer the response of the JH. And of course, there are sometimes differences between the signatures from the sound manufacturers - for example, the Roxanne doesn't sound like the JH13 or JH16. [quote] The quads are near identical prices but as you up the driver count, you are $200-300 more expensive going 64 audio. [/quote] I never really understood the aggressive price hike in the 64s - I suppose they made their name, now they are moving into maximising their profit - but the driver count and cost certainly has no correlation with performance when comparing 64s and JH. [quote] It's a bit of a ballache being in Scotland as well, as it would be good to try the same number of drivers in a universal fit from both manufacturers. [/quote] Maybe if you can guarantee a number of purchases, you may be able to persuade Paul from the custom iem company to travel up there - so you can try them all out and get all your impressions and everything sorted in one go. Worth giving him a phone. [quote] At the moment I'm leaning towards quads but to double the driver count with JH Audio (JH13V2) its only around an extra £200 + the bonus of adjustable bass. Worth it? [/quote] Only you can make that decision - but doubling the driver count after a quad (min I would recommend for a bass player) doesn't necessarily mean better - it just gives you a different sound signature. In fact, if a company making a multi driver ear piece that hasn't got their crossover design sorted, then they could actually have a negative impact!

[quote name='TheGreek' timestamp='1479735522' post='3178822'] Personally, I'd ring them and speak to Dawn, explain that the issue hasn't been resolved and, if need be, take a trip down to Brighton where Rob & Co can have a look and fix it to your satisfaction while you're there. They have a reputation which they are to keep and will most likely bend over backwards to make you happy. [/quote] Probably more helpful if you went to Essex rather than Brighton though!

With regards to MM tone - there is the fact that is MM Stingray is active and relies on the MM circuit. A MM pickup, even in the correct location, will not get you there alone. Couple this fact with a JB being passive, there's no way you can get a true MM and J in one using the same set of controls. We all know for example, that a filter system does not a Wal make. Similarly, the individual coil around each pole approach to pickups does not a Wal make. Even an aftermarket filter preamp and aftermarket pickup made in the aforementioned manner does not make a Wal!
