Hoping to get folks to post some of his stories they enjoyed. I always found him to tell 'colorful' stories about his day and what was happening in Arivaca, AZ - population approx. 500.

And views and counting...not a prophet, yet some may be concerned about the forums continued existence. Whatever the future, it cannot be denied the numbers. Everyday new members come here looking for support. This is the usual. Forum has paid over and above it's value to Klipsch. As to the future well, left my divining rod at last event. Thanks for all the members who help those in need of answers. All were new once upon a time.

Congratulations to Mike on being the high bidder. Thanks again to @bhendrix for donating these to auction off.

New ( vintage ) card in da house 😁 A fine spirit, without a flaw . With a Titanium Nitrite cantilever. Two separate toroidal coils without magnetic core. The toroidal coils are working independent of each other. This design results in lower magnetic losses and distortion, while at the same time reducing the moving mass to a minimum. And this already existed in the 1980s. Today's MC's, where such an effort is made, usually cost over 1,000 €

Went to the dentist yesterday morning , have a root infection in one tooth , however it´s better now ! Last afternoon I spun a double live album from 1973 , see below 🙂 containing this cult tune

Hello, hello friends! Been a LONG time since visiting. Lots going on 'round here, however, taking a break from a home project and enjoying the updated space here on the second floor. Spinning this classic to get back into the..........groove? Yeah, I ment to say that .

Happy Birthday PWK. A bunch of people are working to keep his legacy alive, it's a story that others in the future need to know about. Wish I could have met the man himself. It was quite amazing working at the watermelon festival and just with anyone you talk to around Hope. I have never seen anyone who is so respected as PWK, from past employees to just people who knew him from around town. Everyone was excited to tell their story of him, not once did we hear a complaint.

This early evening .....Ray Charles " Live " It's a Double Album ; the recordings are from two concerts ; A&B Side New Port Jazz Festival 05.07.1958; C&D Side Herndon Stadium Atlanta 28.05.1959 .... sounds damn good ! Released in 1973

I´m completely innocent Dave. I thought that the forum was set offline from the management but good to see that it wasn´t. In these modern times of viral communities, Tiktok, Facebook , Instagramm etc. a classical forum like this is old fashioned. Well , I got my sec. surgery behind me and I recover fast and well. My marriage is still not divorced, the German courts are so overloaded that a divorce in our country can take up to two years. Obviously this is the case with me . It no longer bother me either. At the moment I'm trying to find a job again and have sent out a few applications and already had my first personal interviews. I think I will soon be able to sign an employment contract, as I still have 4 years until I retire. Let's see what happens. My vinyl collection is constantly growing because a sec.hand record store opened in my town several months ago. The selection is good, the prices are fair and the quality of the vinyl is excellent. As a rule, I only have to wash the used records once and they are as good as new. I´ll be back as soon as I can ....

Black capacitors are mkp type. There is no point to replace them, they don't age as quickly as electrolytic capacitors. As for big, woofer capacitor it could be replaced, PIO lifespan should be around 50-60 years so probably there is no rush especially because they where designed for much higher currents. Listen to the speakers for some time. Don't start with changes. I would only verify if those black back covers on squeakers are firmly connected to driver. There where reports that for k-55m sometime glue is failing on those and it distorts the sound.

Sumpin is better than nuttin. Maybe.

Another Card from my collection . I bought it last christmas , wanted to make a gift to myself. It´s quiet rare . It´s near mint as well . An Ortofon SL 15 MC , has a lot in commen with the old Ortofon SPU´s from the 1960s. Sounds brilliant !

Active crossovers are probably the only way to better the latest passive crossovers coming stock from Klipsch on current models.

I too was missing something. I solved that this week! 2 RP-1200s and rocked Dire Straits properly!

First record this afternoon ..Jennifer Warnes " Famouse Blue Raincoat " The Songs of Leonard Cohen ..

Offering here first: FS - Oak Oiled Chorus II, consecutively numbers and in great condition. I prefer the buyer to hear these before buying, they sound as good as they look. Selling to fund a new preamp. 1,500 obo, local pick up in the Lexington KY area, Klipsch Pony Express, or I will be traveling soon to northern Indiana.

@MicroMara you wen't outta the box on that one! Soooo many forget about their influence on groups. Gonna have to nose now! Wishbone Ash are a British rock band who achieved success in the early to mid-1970s. Their albums include Wishbone Ash (1970), Pilgrimage (1971), Argus (1972), Wishbone Four (1973), There's the Rub (1974) and New England (1976). Wishbone Ash are noted for their extensive use of harmony twin lead guitars, which had been attracting electric blues bands since Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page had played together in the Yardbirds in 1966.[1][2][3] Their contributions helped Andy Powell and Ted Turner to be voted "Two of the Ten Most Important Guitarists in Rock History" (Traffic magazine 1989). Melody Maker (1972) described Powell and Turner as "the most interesting two-guitar team since the days when Beck and Page graced The Yardbirds". Several notable bands have cited Wishbone Ash as an influence, including the Eagles, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Van Halen, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Thin Lizzy, Metallica, Dream Theater, Overkill and Opeth.[4][5][6][7][8] Formed in Torquay, Devon in 1969 out of the ashes of the trio The Empty Vessels (originally known as The Torinoes, later briefly being renamed Tanglewood in 1969), which had been formed by Wishbone Ash's founding member and creative force Martin Turner (lead vocals and bass guitar) in 1963 and complemented by Steve Upton (drums and percussion) in 1966. Wishbone Ash formed when Martin Turner and Steve Upton set up auditions for a guitarist and subsequently ended up with two guitarists because they could not decide between the two. So as a result, guitarists/vocalists Andy Powell and Ted Turner completed the original Wishbone Ash line-up. In 1974 Ted Turner left the band, and was replaced by Laurie Wisefield.[9] The band continued on with strong critical and commercial success until 1980. There followed line-ups featuring former bass players from King Crimson (John Wetton), Uriah Heep (Trevor Bolder) and Trapeze (Mervyn Spence). Wisefield left in 1985. In 1987, however, the original line-up reunited for several albums – Nouveau Calls, Here to Hear and Strange Affair – until 1990, when Upton quit the band. After Martin Turner was replaced in 1991, the band recorded The Ash Live in Chicago, before Ted Turner left again in January 1994.[9] This left Andy Powell as the sole remaining original founding member of Wishbone Ash to continue the band on into the future. Lot of good stuff of theirs out there!

Came VERY close to joining this band ! However, the tour was short, and I could not justify leaving my work place of 35 years. Music biz can be unreliable as I have learned. 😑

Ahhhhh, it lives! 😂 Took a few days off and slipped to Indy for the B1G Women's basketball tourney. Good time w/a few good peeps even though mah ladies got thumped by UCLA. Expected no less from those UCLA women. Man they're tough for sure. Guess that's why they're one of the best in the country. It'll all sort in a few weeks. Good to see ya back George! Missed ur face and it sounds like ya found a lil "honey hole" of a shop. The wallet rape has begun but looks like some good tunes. Easy peasey on the workie but hope ya find something that's gonna get ya officially "retired!" @Klipsch104db nice seeing some of your spins once again! Looks like ya got some leads on improving things and ya came to the right place. Carts are carts but I just took a blind leap of faith and dropped some big bucks on my cart. Night and day for me sound wise. My cleaning machine also helped on my old stuff and the way the new stuff is rolling out you do pick up some trash. Who knows, it's on you now and where you want to go. Just my .02 cents worth. @Full Range glad to see ole' Alfred just dumped half an ocean of wetness on ya instead of the entire enchilada. Knew you'd make it! Now I've got a question for ya. Didn't you mention this Taj Farrant kid on guitar a while back? Close to Brissy somewhere I think Either way this kid's TOTALLY amazing. He's here touring right now and blowing things totally up! A 15-year-old kid running the frets like SRV and Carlos? F'n INSANE for sure! Dropping some stuff over in youtube spinning if anyone wants to check him out. If you ain't got him locked in ya better jump! ALLLLLL imma gonna say!

I love listening to PWK in this interview… he was truly amazing in his ability to recall facts, dates, events and names…!!! 🙂

I wasn't sure I could find it, but Dave's Word Press pages are still up. Reading this page is like pulling a pin on a hand grenade, but I'm linking it anyway. https://malletteblog.wordpress.com/2014/01/28/but-i-was-in-shock/

Congratulations. You have a lifetime pair of speakers. No further need to chase the "dragon". 😁 Did you purchase new or used?

This song has to be considered a classic by now ?

I agree, l do not have the IV model but did set some up in one of the museum listening rooms and was VERY happy with how they sound. Actually very impressed.

Oops , I asked the wife to tell me 5 things that she had accomplished around the house last week , and this is the attitude I get 🤷‍♂️

Nah, Walter's his own man. Hit him on Wiki is the best way. KWS is still werkin.

Hi, An Australian guitar goddess who gives her guitar (just a PRS signature, crazy personal edition) to a Mexican woman, our friend @Full Range will like that 👍 😍

It's a sunny saturday morning. Paul Simon and George Harrison - Here comes the sun...

If you sell or trade KLIPSCH LaScalas, I can almost guarantee you’ll be sorry. I’m pretty well up there in age and I am still not ready to get rid of mine sure absolutely I don’t feel the way that I did 40 years ago, but let them move on to someone else when the time comes. I guess I became somewhat emotionally attached to the big. Klipschs and Altecs. and you can run them on virtually anything I just had a pair of modified bells playing on a tube cube I7, The little 3 1/2 W amp that I believe to Depot sells, just for fun, both speakers played beautifully unbelievable for a 200 dollar Chinese made amp, put some old tung-sol EL-84’s in it, absolutely amazing, now keep in mind it did not sound like my 300B’s or my EL 34 Amps but truly amazing Had an old friend of mine over here. He actually thought that I was tricking him some type of way it was absolutely worth blowing out all the cables and wires just to see the look on his face, but he did wind up ordering a tube cube i7 to use With and old pair of KLIPSCH 61 ll , which are a pretty high sensitivity approximately around 95 db or so, even hooked them up to an old set of Proac studio one ‘s still not too bad but nothing like the higher sensitivity, but they did play but nothing to speak of, well enough of that whenever the Grim Reaper comes knocking he’s welcome to take his pic. Good luck and happy listening everybody stay safe nothing like the 1970s but it’s still a lot of fun.’👍 kind of like getting behind the wheel again of a 69 road Runner 440/4- speed on a nice summer weekend night.once you get rid of it it’s gone not ready to make that move to the gentleman above you’ll be sorry however sometimes you do have to part with things for alternative reasons, which is understandable which I think you guys know what I mean thank God I don’t have that problem.😂
