  • Re: gfa 555 fuse question

    The fuses are supposed to be 6A fast blow, 125V (or 250V). Sounds like the caps have been modified. If they have no plastic sleve over them it might be a good idea to remove them one-at-a-time and wrap some electrical tape around them where the clamp touches. OBSERVE THE POLARITY MARKINGS AS YOU DO THIS.

  • Re: Klipsch bringing back RF-5 and RF-7?

    The reappearance of the RF-7s convinced me to take a big risk and replace my RF-7s. In short, if I've really fouled up, there is a way back to new RF-7s. I've ordered 4 RF-63s to match my RC-64 center. The RC-64 was needed to fit under my new 60 in. plasma. If the RF-63s just don't have as good of a sound stage or lose too much slam, then...

  • Re: klipsch rf-7 question

    "I think sounds a little sharp occasionally on high volume " If it sounds sharp on some recordings only, it is most likely compressed program material. A DBX 3BX dynamic range expander can make harsh, edgy program material sound much cleaner. If it sounds sharp on all program material, I would consider wiring a #1156 automotive light bulb...

  • Re: FS: Kodak Carousels for slide projector, free except shipping.

    [quote user="Coytee"]I also have some of these. I see three immediately but I think there are more downstairs. I have no idea if/what kind of projector these go into.[/quote] I think one of Dad's cousins had a projector that used those types of trays. No idea of the brand, AGFA maybe? I think the Kodak Carousel were the most popular and...

  • Re: dead woofer?

    Thanks for the information. So I lied and I have not pulled the woofer out yet but it is on my list of todos. I knew when purchasing these speakers that one of the tweeters was out so it was not a surprise when there was another issue, but I got a deal so I cannot complain. Hopefully I will have the woofer out by sunday or so and can diagnose the problem...

  • Another active vs passive crossover post

    Well, sooner or later I was going to have to pop the Q: Active vs passive Xovers...... I am on vacation now and a bit confused by this stuff. I went to an audio place in LA for Pro Audio, in brief, active only on PA rigs. So......why not in consumer stuff ????? Here are some anti passive xover URLs found via google. BTW I could not find any that said...

  • Re: which klipsch loudspeaker plays most base

    [quote user="DrWho"] What you're probably noticing as "more musical" bass is that the bassbin is probably hyped up around 6-10dB relative to the midrange, and with a 100Hz xover, you're looking at extra output from ~45Hz to 100Hz. That's pretty much where most of the girth in older 70's/80's kick drums reside...

  • Re: Another active vs passive crossover post

    The mass consumer world tends to be about 20 years behind the pro world...active xovers are the norm in almost all powered speaker designs now, which includes some of your highest end studio monitors. It's been that way since the early 90's. There are also many studios running external amps and active xovers too. The list of benefits is real...

  • Re: Buddy Guy in Montreal

    And to think that Buddy Guy often played Toronto back in the '70s, usually with Junior Wells, and I never even thought to go, although I lived there at the time... Back then, the shows I'd see repeatedly would be Joe Walsh (w/ or w/out James Gang), The Tubes, DEVO, Alice Cooper, Edgar Winter, Frank Zappa and the Mothers, Rough Trade, Bruce Cockburn...
