  4. She was sweet, had a great life, influenced a lot of people, and went almost instantly with no pain. I can grieve, but I can't complain. Given her 100% mortality prediction within 10 days at birth we had a great blessing for 13 years. With that knowledge, I said always that I was prepared, but not ready. Dave

  8. I think expansion for a team into Vegas is idiotic. The hometown fans would never fill the seats. The seats instead will be filled by casino owners that are putting clients into the seats. You might think this is a good idea but I don't and here is why. The "fans" that are going to games will be rooting for the teams according to where they are from. RedWing fans will buy up tickets to see the Vegas team only when the Wings are in town. The actual fan base for the Vegas home team will take at least ten years to get a following. They should have expanded first into Quebec city where they already have an arena sitting there waiting. Unfortunately the NHL commissioner Bettman is, and always has been rooting for expansion into American cities where hockey ranks third or fourth behind Football, Baseball and Basketball...that is all...

  14. SOLD I have decided to sell my reference phono stage, George Wright AG Signature, complete with original manual. Excellent condition and incredible sound quality. Separate tube-regulated power supply with huge transformer is evidence of the quality behind this design. For those of you who are not familiar, this is a very rare piece. I am going to include my personal selection of NOS tubes. They were all ordered specifically for a phono stage and are very quiet. All tubes will be shipped with their original boxes. Tube selection as follows... - Matched quad of Mullard CV4004 box plate tubes (from Upscale Audio, Platinum grade-$720) - JJ ECC99 (from Tube Depot) - Tung-Sol 6x4W blackplate (from Brent Jesse Recording) - Philips/Mazda 6BM8 from 1969 (from Brent Jesse Recording) This phono stage was the late George Wright's Signature/Statement design for vinyl playback and has been my reference for quite some time. The sound quality is simply fantastic. Variable gain allowing use of both MM and MC cartridges. I've used both types with great results. I have not ran across a cartridge this phono stage cannot drive well. Lots of gain and completely adjustable for each channel. Not excited to let this go, but we are in the middle of a large remodel and trying to free up some cash. If someone is interested in the phono stage without the high value tubes, I am willing to separate. However, this particular tube choice is very nice sounding formula and highly recommend for the new owner. Let me know if you have any questions. $1750 shipped for everything.

  15. GLWS and not to hijack but my Wright 2a3 system on KHorns is nothing less than spectacular. I can only imagine how good this preamp performs. The late Mr. Wright knew his stuff.

  23. I've owned the 30's since they first came out. Got 'em for 2 ch listening but have evolved into a 5.1 HT system consisting of the 30's as main speakers, a KLF C-7 center and a pair of KLF-10's as rears. You can't beat that for a sonic match. I picked up the C-7 and 10's on the used market for a great price. You can do that too if you are patient. I use Marantz AV separates (processor and power amp) to run the system and find them superior to the Denon AVR I started with. Marantz pairs exceptionally well with Klipsch.Strong recommendation. Best of luck.

  28. He meant to say run for your life. As most of us know we are suffering from a plague here called upgrade-itus. I heard rumors that the CDC is secretly working on a cure for this epidemic, but the only true way to be sure you don't get this is to avoid contact with known carriers. Please do not take this to mean they are indeed working on a cure. I certainly don't want to be the person to spread false hope to those who are infected or who have family members who are suffering with it. If you would like more details you can try to contact the CDC yourself. They have blocked my number, and have banned me from the premises. I even tried to volunteer myself to be quarantined for study and they sent me away. If you do find facts regarding this or any study which may be of help, please post that information publicly here. We all need to know. We are desperate to know. Thank you in advance Craig

  32. The 7's will go about as deep as any floorstander Klipsch makes. The speakers may be wired out of phase or they're not getting a full signal.

  33. Yeah I have been looking at DIY projects myself. I see people gushing over the Joseph Audio Perspectives and how they are the best audio they have ever heard and they run 13k a pair. They run all SEAS drivers from the Excel line. You can build your own box with those drivers for a fraction of the cost from madisound. The tweeters are $291 and the woofers are $262.00. I want to build a speaker using ScanSpeak drivers myself.

  34. IMHO, unfortunately, "social commentary" creeps into threads where it's really not even relevant. How about "Great game, really enjoyed it", or "what a fantastic performance by the goalie", or whatever, and leave it at that?

  35. Purchase the Deoxit D5. Remove the receiver cover and spray switches from the inside. Spray lightly, rotate switches back and forth several times, Let it sit for a few minutes, spray again, and rotate switches again. You can pack some paper towels under the switches to absorb excess. Deoxit does not evaporate immediately, so I always let it dry overnight. http://www.parts-express.com/caig-d5s-6p-deoxit-d5-spray-with-perfect-straw-5-oz-60th-anniversary--341-201

  37. Welcome to the forum. I personally have not owned any of the Epic line but have enjoyed and still enjoy various other models of Klipsch speakers. They are a great bang for the buck speaker co. I am sure you will enjoy these speakers. Tom

  39. These generational debates about boxers and other sports heroes have been going on literally for generations. My dad and grandfather loved to bait me with them and tell me how Joe Louis or Marciano would have destroyed Ali or Frazier, etc. Same with baseball. Fact is we'll never know.

  41. I would take a pair of Chorus (original or II) after LaScalas. I like the fully horn loaded LS, but the Chorus really rock, are more placement and wife friendly. The Cornwall (to me) are too plain and I don't like the bass. I can't tell you which models are ply and which are mdf, other than: LS - ply LSII - MDF Heresy - ply Heresy II & III - MDF Pretty sure the newer Cornwall II is MDF. While I prefer the Ply, MDF is actually better acoustically. I've had no problems with my HII speakers, and I am at least the second owner. Bruce

  42. For me "back in the day" has not changed in 5 decades!!! Any design has to start with a concept such as the required power to properly drive the speaker with which the amp is going to be used. Then a decision has to be made as to the type of sound the person desires as different circuit arrangements will yield definite sonic differences (such as SET vs. SEP, push-pull pentodes vs. push-pull triodes, and so on). Once the power question and type of circuit is settled, then we go to the suitable tube candidates to satisfy that requirement. And, within that latter category, we have to decide on cost. Some folks don't want to be using output tubes costing $200 each! Regarding preamps, again we have to know what it will be used with. I'm not going to design a high gain preamp capable of an output of 25V if the amp with which it is going to be used has a sensitivity of only 200 millivolts for full output. As to rolling tubes, I personally don't consider that worthwhile. In numerous, blind, listening tests over the years most guys have had trouble differentiating subtle variations in tubes. There's a lot of snake oil out there about tubes having black plates vs. gray plates making a huge difference in sound (the color difference is simply due to different heat dissipation coatings used on the plate), that the shape of the getter or number of getters affects the sound, or that a $400 Telefunken 12AU7 ALWAYS sounds better than an affordable Sylvania. Perceived sonic differences in cases like that are often proportional to how much the person spent on the "better" tube. Sure, if a particular tube is noisy due to excessive gas (something I can relate to personally) switching to one which is within spec will be an improvement. So, that's my philosophy. Others will have a different perspective. And, of course, this discussion has to include the issue of "audiophile grade" caps and resistors as well. I won't get into that side of things. Maynard

  43. Rythmik FV15HP or Reaction Audio Gamma 21 would my 2 choices for a sub under $2k. I have owned a TON of quality subwoofers over the last 8 years and the Rythmik was heads and shoulders better than all of them. That Gamma 21 has me drooling though.. I was even shopping for a new sub when I ran across this thread. It's a disease but it's a fun disease;)

  44. I started out with Velosyne Ct100 (10" with 100 watt amp), then F1500 (15" with 250 watt amp) then HGS15 (15" with 1250 watt amp) then dual HGS15's. I purchased a Klipsch RSW15 and it has as much output as dual HGS15's so I sold the Velodyne, and began hoarding RSW15's lol.

  45. Reading Part III A of the Opinion made me want to vomit. Granted, Led Zeppelin is the best band ever, and so, I am biased. However, the reflux comes about because as we all know in litigation, experts are paid whores who can, and will, say anything. It is so interesting to hear them talk about how the songs are "substantially similar" because of things like "a Renaissance feeling about them" and “the use of reverb to create a mystic, dreamlike quality [so that] each note of the guitar has a ‘whispering tail.’” Yeah, right. If this is the standard, then let any musician without sin cast the first stone. Ridiculous!

  46. That isn't the issue, the issue is whether they are entitled to a partial song writing credit for the song intro. Led Zeppelin has lost/settled a couple of prior cases for plagiarism of old blues riffs and lyrics without giving proper credit.
