Wished more from the forums lived closer, I LOVE these get togethers and it seems that you do to.... I have some music selections of both high res digital audio and some NEW LP's that arrived this week as well as a couple SEALED 8 tracks from eBay no less !!! The Sony is almost ready for 'prime time' and hopefully will be ready for a demo Saturday... Pezz will bring some Blu Ray audio disks etc. along for sampling. All photos will be posted during the day over in RTM... Chuck, sounds like you are getting your media organized!, my CDs are in disarray but my LPs and R to R pre-records are in good order right now Enjoy the evening, and yes, THIS cheese chaser has one more day IN a pipe organ to tune at an area college chapel... More later........ ..........Gary

Probably going to be at a concert around six. Can I get a volunteer to open the 3 Minutes To Miller Time Bar? Maybe join you late or over to RTM and spin some vinyl with Gary's gang.

Good Morning Gang, Up and at Em...................Boys getting ready for school first load of clothes in the wash. Going to be a long day Best to All

It don't get any better there Jason. Wish I had a cold one of theirs now. Think I was in No Name Bar before...I was dancing with a blonde...

......last one for now....... just finished tuning in this rather large section known as the 'Swell' division.... Dave can explain.. Ok, back to tuning.... Have good afternoon my friends....

Good morning ya'll. Flew into Phoenix yesterday during a dust storm. That was a new one for me. Did visit a nice high end audio store. Lots of gear: McIntosh, Wilson, B&W, Sonus Faber, and Magnepan. Several brick and mortar stores here.

Morning gang, three cups down Sancho, i hope things improve for Jackson. Mark, it looks like your mwm's are coming along. Carl, hows the bathroom project coming? Believe it or not we wont be camping all weekend, just on Sunday. I know it doesn't make since, but between the kids sports and camping. The wife and i had been neglecting things we need to do around the house. So tonight she will finish painting the laundry room, hopefully before the new washer and dryer show up. Yes ladies and gents i will between tonight and tomorrow morning i will be running all sorts of cables. Speaker cable for the garage so i can utilize the 2nd zone of up stairs receiver and some cat6 for a fellow tomorrow. Well got to run, so i can knock out the work early, that way the rest of the day will be a breeze. Sent from my SM-N920P using Tapatalk

I will have photos of the new Azur for you and group with comments from me AND Pezz as he sees and hears it for the first time tomorrow and it gets a good workout . The M.A.D. session will begin around 1 to 1:30pm eastern after we settle down with a fine, chilled white wine and a light nosh lunch ... ...........Gary

Evening Gang Smell of Bondo in the Air, nothing like it. Update on the MCM project is in my 1900 thread, because it dont need to be here, since i sure as hell aint drinkin coffee. https://community.klipsch.com/index.php?/topic/158959-mcm-1900-4way-controldialing-in/

Afternoon All, Through with coffee for today. Is this the dog days of summer? Or is that only August? We have been blessed with some pretty moderate temps around these parts lately. Only supposed to get up to about 90 this weekend. Yupee! its a 3 day weekend for this worker bee, though better half has to work Sat and Monday(nurse). I'll be busting my hump around the homestead cutting brush and pulling stumps while she's at work. Well,...a happy and safe Labor Day weekend to all

....wind supply to the organ from FOUR stories below!!

Like having the right tool for the job. If a company is cheap enough not to have foreseen their blunder, like I do, I would not have the audacity to even bring up the subject to me. Insult to my experience. And right down to it, a safety issue, given the variables logistically. Next time I go to work for a publically traded company, it will be a salaried position, in IT. Where is a drink? lol

.....one quick shot of the attic on the way to the organ chamber at the other end ........

Mornin' guys. All is quiet on the homefront and should be an easy day. Baxter is crapped out on the sofa. We do have some feebie tics to the Colorado Rockies game tonight and it will be fun to watch. Some day we might even get a real MLB team here. Will try to check in later. Cheers to all.

Morning all. Short day today going into a 3 day weekend. Going to head to St. Augustine this weekend for their 450th Celebration. Should be a great time.

I'll post some pictures eventually. The floors are done. The walls have been spray textured (what a mess). Everything is pretty much painted other than the trim. The cabinet bottoms were set on Wednesday and need to be painted. The granite guys came over last night and took measurements. Last weekend I set the shower valve in the wall and framed up the shadowboxes and this weekend I plan on finishing Durocking the enclosure. Tile for the shower got ordered last weekend as well and should be here next week some time. I'll be glad when it's done but I still have a lot to do. TGIF my friends. 3 day weekend coming up. WOOT!!

Alrighty....worker bee is punching his timesheet....everyone have a safe and happy Labor Day Weekend! May check back in later in 3 minutes or RTM Later!

No Name is one of our favorites. Nice big deck overlooking the Fort.....great people watching....and usually good live music. Best kept secret down there is the American Legion right across for The Bridge of Lions.....$2 drafts and a $8 fried shrimp basket with fries that'll knock you socks off....

Yeah....I'm sure it'll be massively packed this weekend. Tons going on down there for the 450th Birthday Celebration. Gonna hit up The Saint Augustine Distillery for our daily tour/tasting....then to San Sabastian Winery for their tour and grab a few bottles for the wife.....then off to Mi Casa, Tradewinds, Local Heros, No Name Bar, Dos Gatos and a few other places for live music and cold beverages with a group of friends looking forward to it!!!

.....into the organ chamber through one of three doors...... I am in this one right now to finish up the job ;0)

Thanks Billy... These signs are posted all over the attic!

St. Augustine! Love that old place. Like camping at the lighthouse park over there. Like looking at the latest swimsuit fashions. Bet there will be a couple of elbows bending there. this weekend. Enjoy!

Man, I just love attics/lofts I can actually negotiate with my body. Hope it is not too warm. Thanks for all the shots, btw...

Just wanted to post this here to make sure all of you see this. Please take a minute to read through the thread and leave your comments. You are not obligated to attend, we are just trying to get a tentative head count. https://community.klipsch.com/index.php?/topic/158673-tentative-attendee-list-for-april-gathering-in-hope-ar/page-2#entry1919973 Thank you all and hope to see you there!

Hello everyone....... Well, looks like photos and reports are expected from some of us, and I will deliver tomorrow. Laptop for listening to streaming via HDMI and DAV, and iPad for photos, reports and communication with C&C and RTM once things get underway (0; Here at the college, relaxing with some lunch (red roasted potatoes from last night) and tuning the organ which is up in the HOT attic, but the job is almost done, then back to the shop to complete the day.... May take a photo and send along... ........more later ;0) .......Gary

Congratulations Well apparently you do have that much to say, and we thank you for saying it, almost all of it anyway. Especially the parts when you were making fun of Thad.

That's why those handles will stay on them, i can roll them around, finish the sides then get a neighbor to assist in loading them and truck them around to the back yard for squirting, let-em set for a day, then into the Cave garage door. The oak singles I built for inside do not have handles and are a real pain to move, they have only been moved forward once to clean. It's been years, should be pretty funky back there ? But it's either chance a hernia or dust behind them so the dust will grow. The two original singles used to copy dimensions to build the others are used outside. Those two are painted with black house paint and have handles bolted on the sides, they are also sitting on a wood frame with casters for moving around. The frame can also be scooped up with forks on the front of the tractor to move them around the yard.

Dinner and movie night for the LF's birthday. Veal Picatta, salads, and good bread. Bien! Movie was good, Redford and Nolte were great together. Did not see any AT trail that I recall from 2006. Break from mowing the yard. LF riding her bike. Breakfast with the old geezer friends. One of the young waitresses told one geezer he had a "little tude". I had not heard that line before so now I call him "Lil Tude" as his new nic name. He is short and doesn't like it. Gary.....again I wish I could join you guys. My listening bud bluesboy moved to the west coast and the only other member has not responded to my invitations. I cant even remember is name anymore. Do remember he is a pharmacist. Pictures guys......should be seeing a bathroom pic, grand child pics, and preamp pics and review. Back to the mowing. Oh yeah.....Jake got a bath yesterday. Smelling better Cheers Ladies and Gents

This is so NOT true. As far as I'm aware from what I've heard around here is we are constantly looking for ways to manufacture MORE in the U.S.. As you know we have to keep things close to our chest here and I'm not qualified to talk about particulars anyway. Heritage products got the increase after years and years and years of being the same price. We have to remain in business so we CAN keep things like Heritage line around for another 70 years. These speakers are such iconic investments that the price increases shouldn't phase most. There are so many people that come to us and say things like "I've had my Klipsch speakers that I bought for 30 years, I'm a loyal customer!" To me, that IS loyalty and it's GREAT and it speaks to the quality of our products. But if that person hasn't bought any other of our products in those 30 years, at what point are they no longer considered a current customer, and more of a fan? We remain in business by selling products. So we have to do what we have to do. Ah, capitalism. On the subject of making parts available to purchase easily - I can say we are working on a solution for that. ;-)

Wasn't there a movie about that? Glad your trip ended up better than the one in the movie.

Morning Gang Ahh, it's Friday, well it's friday everyday day here. Nothing planned, Little MCM work later, Fresh Batch of Upol finish should be in Monday or Tuesday. Maybe a Fram run, Need Duggans. Wife up early firing up the CrockPot, wonder what she hes in mind? hummm.

Afternoon gang Taking a break from doing nothing. Helped the wife unload wallyworld supplys, and Beer/water. Should go back and attack the MCMs, cooler day, 80s w/fan, it's nice.

That's why those handles will stay on them, i can roll them around, finish the sides then get a neighbor to assist in loading them and truck them around to the back yard for squirting, let-em set for a day, then into the Cave garage door.

I never thought I had that much to say

The scar will be fine no one will notice. But really it could have been a lot worse, you could have fell 2 floors down and splatted in the middle of the floor........you would have been remembered forever........Ok that's not how you want to be remembered I can imagine but it could have ended badly anyway. Never thought of an organ tuner as a high risk job until I met you.

Love to see those old timbers, cool pic's of your work Gary, I don't understand 95% of it, but I don't need to you do.

Dtel, I want four of those by next weekend Please... Tigerman, enjoy, your listening. Jackson get well. Duder, do it anyway, camping that is. Will not be working on Labor Day as against my religion. Will park the company car besides I-10 and hitch hike on in to the timeclock and punch out. By 12:00 AM Monday will not be back in to finish route. Thinking of not going to friends house and drinking boilermakers. May stay here and have a sip of beer...Landshark or something fattening, and music. Gave 2 week notice this week on part time job. They can take that scanner and shove it, into the next robot's seat.

OK lounge lizards it Labor Day weekend do something fun, or try at least.

Got a 3 day weekend coming up. I'll try to get some up.

A BIG congrats to you Chuck.....that's great...... It's cool being a grandad..... 1st time I got a chance to check in.....a good day to all..... Real busy at the shop today...sorry can't play.... MKP :-)

I have just accumulated too much stuff busht4169. Off the top of my head I know I have a nice pair of KG 2.2's, 3 KV-3's, a KMC center, a KV-2 center, 2 Infinity P-QPS surrounds, 4 Infinity QPS-1 surrounds, 1 Panasonic SA-HE200 6.1 AV receiver, 1 Technics SA-DX930 5.1 AV receiver, 1 Technics SH-GE70 Graphic EQ w/spectrum analyzer, 1 Technics SH-8033 Graphic EQ w/spectrum analyzer, 1 Technics SLP-S900 Class AA CD player, some Infinity Minuette surround speakers.....wow.....too much hanging on around here.... Oh yeah, a Panasonic DMR-EZ17 and Panasonic DMR-EZ28 dvd recorder that I have never used for anything other than playing dvds/cds in. Cool too because they allow you to record off of television with their built in digital tuner if I remember correctly. Also a Panasonic RV-31 DVD/CD player with optical and component out which sounds really nice. ........Told you I have a lot! Might not be able to let them go for free......... but cheap. If anything jumps out at you.....holler!

He is a Hall of Famer, but I think Colter has more than that.

Now that is what I'm talking about, safety. Can see myself now stepping into the chapel, like I stuck my foot through the ceiling of a customer's awhile back. Signs are good! Lol

Is chad going to give us a lizard lounge too?

Not your calling eh Billybob?

What makes you think we don't? We mostly just talk about you though. I'll have to admit, it's not all flattering.

We know you will, and after that maby some bathroom pics. EXACTLY!

You got that right.

Thanks for all the kind words and congrats guys. Momma, dad and baby doing great.
