My JL Audio sub is dead. What exactly happened?
Singingtheblues, I wouldn’t hold my breath, however JL has obviously owned up to the issue somewhat by offering their quite reasonable $300 flat rate fix for out of warranty repairs. My guess is that’s about what their cost is on those plate amps ... 
My JL Audio sub is dead. What exactly happened?
Well, just to add to the group misery, one of my F110v1 just up and died. Being in Canada, the shipping and whole border thing (customs were a bear to deal with last time) has me wondering if I should just buy a cheap and powerful class D amp like... 
From Denafrips Pontus to Lumin
I can’t comment on the Denifrips as I have never heard one. As an owner of the Lumin T1 I can state that it is an incredible sounding unit that works flawlessly. This is a completely realized product from an established manuafacturer. Jackd is cor...

RIAA, that is TOO funny, good one! 
Best multi channel amp and processor good for 2 channel listening.
I will give another vote to the AVM60. It really is a superior unit with amazing steering logic. The ARC software does a commendable job of “ironing out” all the various speakers (different sizes, types, brands, locations) to create a unified and ...

Dep14, agreed I was looking to see if this function exists in Agon but no luck. We’ll just have to enudure the drivel I guess.

Viber, you are correct, I don’t accept any of your posts as relevant, but apparently the moderator deletes all posts of the many people here who hold the same opinion. 
Hey RICH Audiophiles
Wcfeil,i dont know, I think dobnbrav makes some valid points. If you want to hear hi end gear you likely can’t afford, get on a plane to a major city centre and visit some dealers or go to axpona or similar shows. If you can’t afford that, stay in... 
Paradigm Persona series
Crying about the cost of grills on a high end speaker like this is like moaning about the price of a tuneup on your Ferrari..... 
Amp for Revel Ultima Studio 2s
I don’t really find the Studio2 to be nearly as hard a drive as the Salon2 which is a few dB less efficient and has a rather brutal impedance curve. That said, the Studios do respond to good clean power, but can be driven successfully with any hig...

WCSS, I don’t know about acoustic treatments but I am taken aback by what appears to be your most long standing component-that crappy rack! I mean, considering the amount you have spent on gear -even your cable cost is approaching 5 figures and ye...

WCSS, I can assure you from 25+ years of ownership that a 3 ain’t nothing like a 7 series and a C ain’t an S class either.

WCSS, I have to commend you on your improved listening skills as your journey continues. There was a time when I think you would have passed judgement far too early and possibly dismissed these out of hand. Glad you are realizing that real evaluat... 
ARC REF 150 Buzzing noise
Agree that this sounds like transformer hum. Hopefully from the external sources as this would be fatally expensive to replace any of the 3 xformers in your amp. Try to eliminate other sources as mentioned above.

Viber6, why are you here? Rane? Emotiva? Zip cord? I’m sure that the guys over at the home theatre thread would (might?) welcome your drivel, however you’re certainly wearing out your welcome here “Doc”. You bring no value to this discussion or WC...
