I agree. Without cables there will be a discernible difference.

Then he'll have 4! I just shook the mighty eight-ball and asked it if Neil was going to buy another pair. The answer was "Yes!"

While trying to quote myself — my father warned that causes blindness — I accidentally obliterated most of the post to be quoted. The part deleted sang the praises of Klipsch The Sixes and their appeal to Millenials. Even sitting on chairs, as shown, they sound great. The plucked double bass, sax and percussion in the excellent Trio Jeepy by Branford Marsalis are palpable. I’ll be sad to see these go to my son’s apartment.

Only diehard audiophools like us need anything larger. “Need” is to strong. No one needs more, but we want more.

just the first ... I have seen bigger coffee mugs. Mike prolly has a collection of them.

I would have never thought that! Figured you for at least two loads in a 12-cup!

or single cup of Joe !

The new Tedeschi/Trucks vinyl.

Mornin Mike! Sunny and bright for once here! Just got the mugga workin too! Then perhaps i'll be motivated and get something done! My mailman decided to beat my front door to death a bit ago. He loves it when I get a new LP! A rocker about 15 years younger than me... It's alway's who is it and let's hear it... lolol

Never thought about that, it does. I never did say, but they are secure, the metal is 1/4" thick and each bracket is bolted with 2 3" lag bolts. There is no drywall it's 1/2" plywood over 2- 2"x12"s stacked on top of each other and notched and bolted into a 6" pole inside that square post and another on each end of that opening. All post in the house 16 go through the slab and 4' in the ground and go tie in to the roof.

Winter here:

Just join the museum. Memberships start as low as $30 a year!!!

great sounding vintage vinyl second pressing us ...

gaucho !

Some pics. Will have to resize the others.

Say hamburger one more time, I dare you.

I'm still in mourning. At least I have some vinyl and Sirus.

Totally with you on this, Jeff. I believe it both from science and from observation. My grandparents generation was the last to practice largely "from the earth" food. They ate massive quantities of fat, grains, meats, eggs, and vegetables every day. They worked manual labor dawn to dusk and all lived long and healthy lives. Evolution made humans basically garbage recycling machines. It is not about what you eat, but what you do after you eat. Most people today eat like they are about to go out and plow a hundred acres with a mule...then go sit on a couch and drink beer. Diet will not help with that. Dave

My new favorite is from Elden and Christy ! And there's this !

The Elvanol 71-30 was delivered. I hope to steal some time this weekend to cook up a batch.

My sis commented that he didn't look good when he was young .. as in not healthy. Albinos tend to have serious probs with their eyes. Listening to Gypsy. Not too bad. A little on the pop side ... But so was Nilsson

He was pretty much one of a kind. We saw him at Memphis in May probably 10 years ago and a couple of times after that. Very frail looking and had to be led to the stage so he wouldn't trip on wires, etc. Once he got there though-he still rocked that old big guitar of his. Hwy 61 will always be his-to me at least.

"sellers remorse"? You will get them back when they decide they need bigger/better...

You know that if they get "the bug", it won't stop until they do get something more [and more] substantial HaHaHa in R/C helicopters -- we called it "heli-crack"

it's a "5 cup" coffee pot 30 oz ....

love Susan's voice !

Mornin' all I've been up too long already. 2AM Hate it when I wake that early. I exhaust myself being quiet. The birds are making noise. It is peaceful at this time of day. About finished with my cuppa. This new "mug" is nice once you get around the lid and spout...

morning, gloomy weather here just having coffee...

Get a channel switch use the onkyo for HT and other for two channel

In 20 years of installing cat5, now cat6, never installed anything but solid copper. Patch cables alway are stranded, except my new boss doesn't hesitate to make solis conductot patch cables. Premade are always stranded. Just make sure it's copper and not copper clad aluminum. Bruce

Funny thing... I have a high school senior and I have been told, "don't get me speakers!" Heh... Kids today!

There's no way this won't blow up and I'm going to bed. Nite all.

The outer hole is too small. For now I fit them in as snug as they would go and just progressively tightened down the screws. Half is fully seated, the other half has about 2mm of the metal edge sticking up. It’s not permanent. I just wanted to get them in to hear the difference. They sound fantastic. I suppose that cork would work, but I suspect that the gasket already makes it pretty close to airtight even though it’s not fully seated. i picked up the Forte IIs from a yard sale. $20 for the pair. Passives were shredded, probably by cats, but otherwise excellent condition. So now, I happily own a complete set of Forte IIs, which are replacing a pair of Quartets that I bought in the mid-90s. Cost me $180 total. Probably the most enjoyable yard sale deal I ever made.

And they are quite... very silent because of the. Shielding. I went thru a phase of trying upscale wires to see if there was anything related to dollar value... most all of those are horrific. Blue Jeans Cables are perfect, well priced and I see no reason to try another interconnect. Like I had mentioned, their HDMI cables are FANTASTIC even if they have a utilitarian appearance. I do use another custom maker for my power cables and speaker wiring... but they are also extremely well made and what I consider a bargain. I just got new power cables for my vrds... they are custom length of 6', solid copper with rhodium plating... well under $100. Your choice of length, shielded or not shielded (more flexible) color etc. Schmitt custom cables.

Just to clarify, this is for museum members only right? I need to make sure so I can stop stalking this thread every 3.5 minutes and get buying more pro stuff out of my head.

The average "discerning ear" on this site is well over 50 years old with a good chance of a hearing aid inside of it, so take it with a grain of salt ;-). Enjoy your new LSII's!

My grand niece in London. They’re only in the first month of a one year stay and they have their own street.

Sanding the tops down and refinishing them is not a big deal. There is a product called Barkeepers Friend mentioned in various posts on the Klipsch forums that can remove stains . I refinished a pair with Satin Spar Polyurethane and they ended up looking very similar to yours. I know you will enjoy them and next recap your crossovers or send them to Bob Crites to be done. Those old caps are not helping your sound quality.

I just bought a pair of KLF-20 speakers in the light oak. A little beat up but they'll kinda be tucked away. I would like to know what the original feet look like, or if I do have the original feet and caps, and/or what can be done to change them out. I have only 7 of the 8 caps if they are the originals. The speakers will be on tile flooring so I want something that won't crack or chip that and will be OK as far as vibration etc. Also considering the Bob Crites rebuild crossover and the titanium diaphragm's if they are available. I contacted Bob today and waiting for a response on those. Does anyone know off hand if the crossover rebuild kit makes any changes to values? Thanks Tim

-- ok, politics gets a mention so like Jimbo's Comey thread where I was in before it went down in a blaze of glory, I'm here to do the same with this.

I'd call both and compare notes......see if everyone is on the same page. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

I moved to a 32 acre small farm in Ionia in 2010. 😎

looks like front loader/bucket forks holding the fortes up....

OK, "What I Got Today"; didn't get it yet but is was shipped A JVC P-3030 preamp (1977-80). (Was looking for a replacement for my Dynaco PAT-4, such as a PAS-3 or even Bob Latino preamps.) Anyhow, found this and we'll see If anyone is familiar with these let me know if they are any good Paid $150 for it (one bad aux input, but found a replacement part if needed) ... have seen them for $1000 and up ... will let you know

Mine works with two black coffee's and one beer per day. JJK

Thanks for all the input. I spent Tuesday morning at Tractor Supply Co looking at fence posts. Manage to cut my pants severely and my leg just a bit. They gave me a free pair of pants! How is that for customer service? I was blown away. So I get back to the compound with my 6.5' posts, signs, wire, and fence post setter. On about the 5th post the owner comes out. Completely different tune from days past. I think the surveyor must have been enough to have him realize I was not joking around. He was very calm, polite and dare I say friendly....no not friendly the guy is still a bit of a jerk but for sure he had his tail between his legs. You could tell in his voice and demeanor he was rattled. He says you don't have to put up the signs, I'll respect the survey markers. He more or less agreed that the first/corner marker was what he had thought several years ago when we built but seems he differed on the angle the property line cut after that. I was correct he was mistaken....though I still personally believe, based on previous conversations, that he knew all along what was mine and what was his his. He just thought since we rarely are on that part of the property that he could "take" liberties and appear to have more near his driveway leading to house. Long story but the short version is he built way to close to the boundary for a 10+ acre lot and I think he regrets the placement. Tough S#!t man, your problem not mine. Leave my stuff alone. I told him I had to put the signs up as my next step was the cops and a lawyer. I needed the signs to clearly state my purpose. The signs are pointed right at his driveway has he passes and only about 15' from the driveway. In some spots the posts/signs are only about 30' from his house. I actually felt a bit bad as they are right in his face and pretty ugly IMO. Why oh why didn't he build more into his property?!?! We talked some more he apologized for what was downed and tried some lame excuse that the guy he hired got carried away. We discussed the spraying and a few other issues. In the end I agreed to remove the signs but keep the fence posts to clearly mark the boundary line. We agreed that if during the summer I did not see brush growing back up that the signs would return. He promised up and down to never set foot across the line again. Agreed to not spray roundup, agreed that he was wrong. Thanked me for taking the signs down and shook my hand at least 3 times. All in all I'm happy with the results because the sighs were obnoxious and so close to his house. I felt sort of bad for his wife and kids having to look at them. Again what were they thinking when they built? I think I am now in the "trust but verify" mode. I'll be keeping a close eye out. I'd like to believe that we are all ultimately decent and do the right thing given a chance...but it is pretty hard these days. My wife thinks I am bit too trusting. Time will tell. I'm not returning all the signs, that is for sure.

Was he the one that had the "cabin" in the woods at Rodneys?

This is in Philadelphia

Was driving I-10 across the bayou when a great cloud of birds rose .. geese, if I remember. I almost got out to take a pic when it started raining do do. I changed my mind about pics.
