Re: JBL L7 (should this be in Vintage or just speakers)
I've owned the JBL L1, L3 and L5s. Some a few times over. I never could afford the L7s that I saw for sale.
Well, it's said the L7s need a lot of power.
I have seen a couple of JBL L speakers where the midrange surround had torn in some places.
I Love the JBL sound but the Titanium tweeters could sound metallic and too wearing at times depending on the music.
I bought A LOT of JBL speakers in my life. Polk and JBL were about equal in my collection at one time.
Now...the SDA-speakers are a whole level or three above most JBL speakers...to me.
I did LOVE that L series A LOT.
I was given a set of JBL L100 Century speakers that needed some repair. I still have them and they do sound GREAT. I've had SO MANY series of JBL speakers. JBL is good.
POLK was right there with them all these years, too.
Watch the heat coming from your power source.

Re: One year without alcohol
Y'all made me think...been 39 years.
Nice Jesse. That reminds me, I hadn't even really been keeping track anymore to be honest. Just thought about it last week because my wife mentioned it was almost the 24th/8 years.
Part of me doesn't even want to "keep track" of this anymore, since the desire to drink alcohol isn't something that even remotely comes close to entering my headspace these days.
It just doesn't feel like something I'm actively "doing", so therefore it doesn't feel like some big accomplishment that I need to track.
That being said, I'm of course sincerely thankful for everyone here and elsewhere that has supported me throughout this journey of not drinking alcohol. I also enjoy hearing about other people's experiences with quitting drinking.

Re: One year without alcohol
I gave it up in November of 24 on the very day I was diagnosed with prostate cancer. I finished my treatments on April 2nd (success it appears I've beaten cancer 
) and still haven't had any. I'm really liking life without alcohol.

Today I connected the interconnect cable . I can say that the musician seemed to be floating in the air . You don't feel like turning off the system . I think it is one the few hi -fi items that stand the test of time .Obiouvsly this is my humble opinion .

Re: One year without alcohol
A very heartfelt congratulations to you sir on your major accomplishment! Thank you for sharing this.
Thank you. I was told mine was a best case scenario as it was caught at the very beginning. Psa levels were high and jumping around. A digital exam and an MRI showed nothing but a biopsy did. 28 radiation treatments later and everything looks great.
No more beer is icing on the cake. Although the 3rd shift being laid off down at the brewery probably disagree. Keep an eye on those psa levels; especially you older guys; it could save your life.

Re: What Are You Listening To? (Part Deux)
Forever More was a late 1960s and early 1970s progressive rock[citation band. Forever More were signed to RCA New York and produced two LPs on that label. Both LPs were recorded at Olympic Studios in London, at the end of 1969/early 1970. Forever More's first LP, "Yours" was released in 1970. Forever More's second LP, "Words on Black Plastic" was not released until early 1971. Both albums were produced by Ray Singer and Simon Napier-Bell, who were known as Rocking Horse Productions. Vic Smith was the engineer on "Yours". They released 2 further albums "Glencoe" (1972) and "Spirit Of Glencoe" (1973). Glencoe disbanded in February 1974 and in March 1974 a third LP was made with a different line up and name as “Loving Awareness”
