[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1457641898' post='3000613'] So what's the difference? Why make that sort of comment when it's Barefaced but not when it's any other company? I'd really like to know, because the general anti-Barefaced stuff that always gets posted whenever anyone ever mentions the 'B' word is frankly baffling and I just don't get it.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1457640637' post='3000592'] No-one says Mark Gooday must be laughing all the way to the bank when people talk about Ashdown gear.

That's worth than any money in a bank. Peace and love, peace and love.

Gosh. What are Mesa prices going to be like with the exchange rate then!?

[quote name='IanA' timestamp='1457639092' post='3000563'] Holiday or world tour? [/quote] Rumbled. You know he wouldn't settle for anything less than a world tour.

[quote name='skychaserhigh' timestamp='1457639296' post='3000567'] I'll put the kettle on.... [/quote] This may be more appropriate.

Agreed - it's a damn big investment! Would defo like to try these LDs. We should have an IEM geek meet!

[quote name='karlfer' timestamp='1457626326' post='3000365'] Erm, no, a request for any experience, tips. I'm old with knackered eyesight and arthritic fingers hence the question. [/quote] Ah, sorry. I guess you aren't up to speed on the Barefaced/handle debacle.

This is a joke... right?

Does anybody know what speaker is actually in the Aguilar cab?

It's almost as if the thread is... scripted. EDIT: http://basschat.co.uk/topic/280816-barefaced-handle-anybody-replaced/ Aw c'mon, you're just trolling now.

Well, can't argue with them for being honest! To be fair, this is what I have found so far. The quality of the compounder and the quality of the RF transmission is absolute key. As I have stated before, I'd love to try the LD systems to give an idea of what the quality of those are like in comparison to my benchmark of the PSM900 and EW300. The other thing is, it depends what you are used to. If you have never used anything else, then pretty much any in ears system is likely to be a revelation. Similarly, I guess it depends what your expectation from an inears system is. For example, if I hear of somebody saying the PSM200 is great, then I immediately question what that user is staying. Having tried that system extensively, I can say, it's pants and I would not be happy using it. Crappy RF, sound quality is really harsh in the top end and the bottom end is ugh. The compounder is not good. If you are hellbent on inears, my advice - and I think this has been echoed in the thread throughout, is just buy right from the word go. It will save you money in the long run. Save up for the Sennheiser EW300s G3 and you are away. I may change that statement to include the LD system when I eventually get around to hearing it but obviously at this stage, I can't comment.

[quote name='LewisK1975' timestamp='1457612580' post='3000085'] £743 for a 1x12. No doubt they're virtually a work of art but that's an insane price. [/quote] Agreed. That would buy a pretty incredible PA speaker.

Oh God. He said the handle word.

[quote name='Paul S' timestamp='1457529048' post='2999364'] Which reminds me... certain people haven't appeared on the thread yet... never known to resist a Barefaced bashing...imo... [/quote] He's on holiday and I'm still busy trying to figure out whether it's d&b or db monitors in question.

[quote name='EmmettC' timestamp='1457369262' post='2997847'] How about this? [/quote] Moving into ballpark... but no.

Hmm. Looks like all my basses have met the criteria already...

Been busy with StingrayPete (formerly of this Parish) rejigging the inears rig... that patch bay was a bit of a labour of love - much soldering and even attaching the nyloc nut and bolts (to hold the XLRs in place took an age. So, power distribution in place, lots of BNC cables, lots and lots of XLRs, lots and lots of soldering, cable stripping, crimping, zip ties, powercon in place and a late night later... Just waiting upon delivery of the final transmitter and this particular rig will be done and dusted! Got to love a project.

Aw man, sorry to hear that. I've not got experience of these units to state what the normal state of play with them is. I would like to get hold of a load of lower cost systems to be able to do a comparison of their performance to see if you really do have to spend, spend, spend to get a good radio solution. I know the LD system gets praise but I've never actually used one to determine where they sit with regards to the competition. I know tonyf and his band use them and they seem pretty happy with the results. Maybe if you can stretch to those, that may be the way to go, especially if you must go radio. I've got a friend who has the g4m for music one but has since replaced it with an EW300 G3 so I don't know if that tells us what we need to know but shall try and get hold of the g4m one to compare against my stash of radio stuff. Are you using the correct jack ends? You need a stereo jack one end and mono jack the other end - not a common combination - if not, that is probably causing your issues.
