morning guys working on the 1st cup...waiting for this guy to get back to me about "four" KP301's for $400 bones. There down in D.C. that's about 50 min away for me. iv'e sent him a bunch of e-mails. angusruler posted the link last night, I'm all over this.... other than that just chillin today....sorry there will be no "likes" from me today.....I'm all out :-( How many "like" do we get a day? Check in later....a good day to all... MKP ;-)

Me too...-10 degrees...up to feed the woodburning stoves, take a leak, back to bed and now just finished biscuits & gravy an on my last cup o' joe. One of those days I think I could have stayed in bed and dozed in & out all day.

Mornin' all. Running late ... seriously slept in this morning. Duder ... i'd give you a like on your burnt breakfast, but i'm too overcome with jealousy that you can eat pancakes!! Been off the carbs, etc., so long it would be like giving me a "fix". Looks like our crack weather forecasters screwed it up again. We're heading into snow later today. Changing plans to get the smoker cranked up today. Happy Sunday and cheers!

Had to feed the girls first thing this morning. So I'm a little late for the first cup, since I was paying attention to something else when cooking. I ended up with some slightly burned pancakes. So that's what I am having for a late breakfast.

Come up here. We have 100% effective mosquito control. (-30 below wind chill factor)

Morning Gang Going for the second cup.....Now. topped out @74 here yesterday, heading for 76+ today, and 70s for the next 9 days. Dam Skeeters anyway Over the years Mining, someone always brought to camp, some new fangled skeeter spray. "Repel" @ WallyWorld, 5bucks for 4oz. Lemon/Eucalyptus oil spray, natural spray and Deet Free. You mist yourself, and you will see them flying around you but they Dont land/bite. On with the day, Boat, Lawn, Beer

Finishing up my daughter's bday party at the local skating rink. I guess things must get heated after 630, as there is a cop at the door with metal detectors. Now time for the slumber party with 6 twelve year old girls. I told the wife I am locking myself in the garage.

Happy Valentines!

Hey guys.... I could not have my coffee with you all this morning.....My grandson came busting in our room this morning YELLING....."It's my birthday and I'm five years old"....so the morning coffee was with him and most of the day. We had a little get together last night and today for him. Ninja Turtles are all around the house....oh yea... lol lol Hey Tigerman that's some cool wok....you are da man... check in later MKP :-)

Me too...-10 degrees...up to feed the woodburning stoves, take a leak, back to bed and now just finished biscuits & gravy an on my last cup o' joe. One of those days I think I could have stayed in bed and dozed in & out all day. That sounds like my norm Monday/Tuesday Just got up from morning Nap. Cold coffee/Duggans/Brownies

Well now, 600 miles yesterday and another 600 to go today. Coffee tasting good. Stay warm as you can in the more northern environs. Good afternoon...

Tiger nice work and pics, thanks for sharing. Enjoying cup one today and enjoying the earlier daylight. We're getting to the gain 5-5.5 min/ day stage and its starting to make a real difference. We can almost exit the cave! Have a great Sunday all!

Does he hang out in the LaScala's like your daughter did when she was a little one? lol lol....no he doesn't....but I'll see if I can get a pic of him in one for you guys.. MKP ;-)

Had a few friends over this evening for Valentines Cookout. One of my neighbors invited his brother and sister-n-law over. Brian asked me to show his brother the HT. He shares that he has a Magnapan setup with a Sony Receiver. I showed him the components and I demoed a scene from Transformers Dark of the Moon, then switched over to music from Spotify and Youtube. He couldn't believe the amount of detail the LaScalas produced. He kept saying, "And those are from the 80's?". That's totally what I fell in love with on the LaScalas....the amount of detail, huge soundstage and smooth midrange. I'm enjoying the LS more and more each day.

Does he hang out in the LaScala's like your daughter did when she was a little one?

This mug is nice... check out the size of it next to the 750ml bottle. Holds 18 ounces which is good since I need to make room for the Duggans! THANKS MARK!

Perhaps the results were skewed but the votes are in at my house!

Weather is fine. Put on your shorts and join us

Oopps, there goes the budget...

My god why won't this guy get back to me? I couldn't even sleep last night.... thinking about the 301's.....I hate this crap. If I post a add selling something....I'm all about selling it.....when someone contacts me I get back to them... I'll keep you guys posted MKP

I also have a few TV's myself. As in this forum I choose what I want to see/read or listen to. I have seen new Babies pictures posted that I chose to read the thread. I have seen GF, new boat, firearms of interest. Anything I don't want to view I have the option to not view. So don't give me that "If it's not stereo it doesn't belong here." Now the part I don't like is when I feel someone thinks they know what I want see and more then I know. I hope it was just a bit of miss communication and no one is suggesting I'm unable to make my own choices along with the other forum members I have seen many topics that are non-stereo related. Some appear to be heading out of line only to come back to where I might find it to be reasonable, and someone else may think it is still unreasonable. Off topic threads give more diversity to the forum. Helps keep the place from becoming the same old boring squat that some of the other sites appear to be.

ahhhh ....MKP is all over this.....

Coffee and cables, you are more on topic than me at times...wow, nice step instructions. Not that you need them. Coffee looks good. Enjoy

........following my instructions and checking things off as I go...... Here is more old parts being removed.....

not me... http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/doc/ele/4890406051.html

That's because everyone knows they can be ticketed/arrested for doing something they didn't even realize was illegal when they did it. Seriously we have way too many laws that can get you into trouble and most people don't even know what they are. I'm told often "ignorance is no excuse for the law." My reply is "please, start from the beginning and recite the code for me." It buggers me that you can be arrested for doing something illegal when you didn't know it was illegal. Then the prosecutor has to spend time looking up what law you broke, because HE doesn't even know. Yeah... I remember the last time I was stopped by a dad-burn police officer. It was in 1989. After leaving from a hospital visit I decided that I would take a route to my Dad's home passing thru the neighborhood that I was born and by the closed school where I had attended the 1st thru 3rd grades. The old school was about to be demolished after decades of standing unused and it was such a magnificent stone structure that I wanted to see it one last time. As I was driving along in a my wife's car, which I was unfamiliar with, and was approaching a traffic light I glanced down to adjust the air conditioning. As I looked up I saw the traffic light was red just as I went under it. Dang, that sounds like a siren behind me. Sure enough, as I looked in the rearview mirror I could see the blue lights a-flashin'. I was pretty pizzed as I pulled over to the curb. I decided that I would confront this sorry officer for daring to stop me. I mean after all, it was me. As I watched him approach my window I could see that he was a huge black guy. I rolled down the window and lit into him. Smiling I said, 'Hello Officer'. He asked for my license and registration. After checking my license he returned to my window and asked what I was doing in the area. WTF? I mean, I know that I didn't live in the area and even though the area was a high crime area that appeared to be the remains of a blackened earth plague type horror movie set, it was none of his business what I was doing there. I mean, I know that he wasn't concerned for my safety since he was a sorry-a$$ police officer. I related the above to him and he handed me back my papers an suggested that I drive carefully and watch those traffic signals. The guy was phucking with me. He was pulling off this sarcastic normal nice guy type act. But I knew better ! I mean, he had on that blue uniform ! He had to be the psychotic result of a incestuous February-December relationship. And since he was black he must be a racist too ! So you're right Dave, he showed up and I was pizzed. Keith the officer treated you with respect and gave you the benefit of the doubt , you were in a high crime area , and God Knows was they had happening in the zone , he took your papers to identify you to see if you had any priors for a stop sign , that is standard procedure in all the US of A - with no priors coming back from the dispatcher's registration and driver license check , the officer has the discretion to not enforce the red light ticket or give one - -, he let you go on a simple warning , what a nice police officer - very civil indeed , and does it matter whether he was white or black , after all we are all God's Children and color is only skin deep - -I like the polite southern people , every time I am in Alabama , I thank the Lord for seeing that even a poor man is worthy of my greetings as he does the same to me - come down to NY and see how the good manners are gone , you may then see the light -

Good afternoon my friends / coffee lovers................. We had MORE snow last night and today, lots of wind and blowing white outs ! Still have to run the snowblower, but waiting for a little calm. Was going to roof rake a bit too. Well, morning coffee still around at this late hour, sipping and working on upgrades to a 2004 Dell PC. Cloning in a NEW 1TB drive... It is good to have a spare just in case, no ? Thanks for the comments on the preamp work. I got to send the rest to you in the finished stage. It was tested last night, but something was amiss. The volume control still did not seem right. First chance I got after breakfast, I looked at my photos from a few weeks back when I started that project. HA! Silly me, one wire was reversed on the right channel pot !! So, did the quick fix and channels are all balanced now. I need to look into cleaning up the AC in the system now. Got ground loop issues that need to be addressed. Ok, enjoy your day everyone...............more later..... ..........gw

Well, never mind, it started working. Don't know what changed.

Well, I'm glad you guys posted what you did in the latter part of this thread. This started out with what looked like a troll or scammer posting a ridiculous audio related CL ad, but ended up as something different, which no one really could have predicted. I think the original intent was to help fellow forum members recognize and stay away from a known CL scammer. In that light some good was done, and perhaps we should leave it at that.

The old latency vs the new. I had stuttering big time on playback on my old Pentium D build so I built a new PC.

Hey akdave, thanks for your 8 years of underpaid and underappreciated service! Keith

Yes, yes it is.

I'm not sure I know what you are talking about? I've only owned a few Klipsch speakers. As mentioned, take your time, be patient, do your research to discover what you are looking for and the right deal will come along.

There can be a dog, tiger, elephant or anything on the tv and my dogs will lay there in their sleepy stupor.... If and when however, a dog (or other animal) might bark over the Klipsch speakers.... they will immediately turn their head and react. That's gotta say something good.

That's nasty Jeff.

My son had something similar happen to him in Huntsville. Police ran his tag because he looked suspicious. Saw that he had a LTC, asked him to exit his vehicle - exited his vehicle and hit him with a taser. Well, to the officers surprise - they just held up and shocked a US Military member in the deportment of his duties. Officer said he was suspicious because no young African Americans that he knows of in that area drives a nice, new Buick Regal, and he had a Florida tag so they thought it was a drug runner. Officer is up on charges and dismissed from the force after the JAG got involved.

Absolutely yes! Yes, thinking it should sound nice. Off to work with coffee in hand soon for me. Good day!

Thanks Billy (0; I know you have SXM radio, I have Real Jazz in the background now... Starting to add the NEW wires into this preamp.... Hoping to have this ready for my new TRIPLE LP play this evening over in RTM ;0) Must keep on task, snow falling heavier outside..... /0:

Thanks for those likes my friends..... ;0) Just taking a coffee break for the moment while loading the up to minute progress photos to you... .......freshly poured last cup of the day......

(I got a coffee around here somewhere............)

Damn! Why didn't think of this. I've been trying to come up with some stupid idea that audiophiles would ante up for that I could charge huge profit on and costs little to nothing to make. And this fits the bill. I can't find any patent protection (yet). Maybe I'll go into competition with them and make some that cost even more so that they sound better!

Colter used tell everyone if our wife complained about the amount of speakers we have, to show her the pic of his massive Pro Audio Klipsch setup

in the interim , the poor have no relief , inequalities are the norm - we , have come full circle back to the emergence of the nation , and the creation of a new class of people -

What's funny youth is just how much better they are gonna sound just by moving them More than five feet away from your face lol

good luck -

rf-42ii theater is a great little theater for price and size. But me personally, wouldn't want that as my one and only theater unless budget and space were big problems. But I'm also not your average listener. I've had many friends over that love my living room theater and say they would love to own something that good. So it's all relative to what you know

Welcome! What percentage of your time spent on just music in this room? Thanks

Just took this of our birdie 'GB' and how he would go very nicely with Chuck's new paint color ;0))) Noticed that if you zoom in on his eye, you can see the winter scene on the deck.... Next snow storm later today, which is just beginning now! Ok, time to get going on this breakfast... Coffee going down nicely so far in new mugs...

Two K33E in parallel will drop to about 2.5Ω, low enough to cause a problem long term with virtually all receivers.
