Continuing on with piano men This artist needs no introduction Its Sir Elton John I only have these 4 albums But I searched high and low for my favourite LPs but alas they must have been lost in transit or lent out and never returned The lost LPs are Captain Fantastic and Goodbye Yellow Brick Road Artist - Elton Jihn Title -  1) Greatest Hits 2) Jump - 1982 3) 21 at 33 - 1980 4) Too Low To Zero - 1983 ( this is a great album )  

me too. One so bad, I had to look twice to make sure. That poor woman. is it possible that speakers grow their virginity back? These have been sitting since last Oct. After playing these r15Ms a little, they're sounding better. I know I have juggled placement and the sub... but they sounded horrible when I first fired them up, again. Thinking about a significant upgrade from the Scalas.... a pair of Jubes... who doesn't? I can fit the Scalas in the doghouse lol How big of a room do you need to house them? [I know... any room you can fit them in] I was looking at my livingroom... It is 12 X 25. There would be one on one end of the room and the other at the opposite end... giant headphones

Good evening to you Paul (breakfast time here ) Thanks for all the likes my friends. I neglected to add a comment about the recording which I did over in RTM. I would say excellent dynamics on the LP. The album programing with Debussy is quiet, so I cranked it up and the loud passages really were amazing!! Some pops here and there, but pretty much in UNplayed condition as far as I can tell..... I give it a 98 ..... Have a good evening/day everyone....

Here is a photo of a set of Forte 3 up on a set of Skylan four post stands. Placing the centre of the mid horn at your seated ear level will make for much improved stage and image as well as an overall improved sense of visual presentation.

oh darn !!!! I feel so sorry for you.

Way to much of this, all evening.

.........and the condition of the vinyl is indeed as the eBay seller described......maybe never played ! Closeup of the label......

.......Inside it was in a plastic sleeve (nice touch).... Now on the proper stand for display...........

Well my friends, it is good to get back here this weekend with a vinyl posting.... I just received this a few weeks ago and wanted to UNbox it and give it a play over in RTM. But, as always, I love sharing here as well... So here then, a purchase off eBay that was NOT sealed (rarely do I buy any USED vinyl) and giving it a listen... Started with shipment in a PIZZA BOX of all things !

I'm from Arkansas and in an extreme minority in my home state...never been a Razorback fan! There are lots of colleges/Universities here, U of A is JUST ONE OF THEM! My alma mater is one of two I support in sports, but I much more enjoy high school sports...there are High School kids who KNOW they will never be in the running for sports scholarships, but who PLAY THEIR HEARTS OUT in high school, anyway! Pro sports and university sports already have too many INDIVIDUALS and not enough TEAM EFFORTS, IMHO! High school sports are a COMPLETELY different story for the most part!!

Always liked Tower Of Babel Do no remember the lp ..: Now I do

Im just lucky that the Greatest Hits album has got all the best songs on it Song / track list and album info on this link - https://www.discogs.com/Elton-John-Greatest-Hits/master/85568 And this is the ID of my pressing Its from New Zealand - https://www.discogs.com/Elton-John-Greatest-Hits/release/666519

No stomach problems at all except for eating too much, I can eat anything any time of the day, she says I have an iron stomach. It was good and might start on more in a little while, 3 out of 4 sacks disappeared, my favorite besides the crawfish is the sausage, mushrooms, and garlic.

Theif went back to the trough once too many. Tech caught to up...

Lost? You've been pilfered, those were the best of the bunch!

WOW! That is some kind of a boil with probably andouille in there with the spicy crawfish! I'd be hitting the antacid after a short while, unless a brew could calm it for me.

..........and now, Side 2..........Cheers my friends..........🍷

.......rear cover......... ..Names of people I have met back stage......

This is a screen I built a couple years ago, I recently switched back to a TV. It is made of 2 layers of spandex material, white over black. This is for local pickup only, and it needs to be gone by next Saturday. Location is southwest of Indianapolis. It will not fit lengthwise in an 8ft pickup bed. If interested please message me to setup a time for pickup. This is the only photo I could find now that it isn't in use, ignore the alien.

... only the one in the top photo you know what to expect from the lads in pic #2 oh... that's your son? jk jk nice looking young man best wishes for his college adventure I have 2 stepsons. One quiet and the other like photo #2. I know what the one is going to do before he does it...

Son off to senior prom and his posse. This group headed off to Texas A&M this fall. Should I expect disturbing phone calls?

I have borrowed a Forte III and it is the first time I listened at Klipsch. It sounds good right out of box but maybe it’s a little bit thin at lower volumes. Do the sound be any different after some burn in?

I'm still lost in here: It takes me way back * heck LSD is on this one!

That's just me @dtel I love the spicy stuff but it doesn't love me anymore!! My guts have been ruined since they swapped out my dead liver. Heck more than that too but I'm still misbehavin'. I'm hooked on these ripe jalapenos now for the past few months, suckers have about three times the scovilles of the green ones and I can't quit `em. Ate a raw habanero once, won the $20 bill but it hurt. If I eat those red j a p s in the evening I have to eat a couple of those chalky calcium/magnesium rolaids....I still call `em maalox even though that brand is long gone.

Picked up my Martin Logan Center today it’s huge , along the way I grabbed a MRX 720 Anthem and a Accuphase Preamp and mint Sansui G9700 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Dangit, he's on to me!

I don't mean to offend, but I would not even think about modifying a speaker in this way - particularly a current production model that may still be under warranty. So you're adding bracing to fix presumed resonances, but you're also decreasing internal volume which is apt to have all sorts of ill affects. Remember, those who engineered these speakers had every opportunity to design bracing into the design if they felt it would improve their sound. And they didn't. Before even considering this I would insist on a careful direct and blinded comparison b/w a pair so modified and an original pair - I would NOT simply take someones word that it improves the speaker. I have Cornwall III's and will admit that they sound fairly hollow and unbraced when you knock on them. Yet, I hear ZERO smearing at ANY volume and with any kind of music or test tones that could be attributable to resonances. To my thinking, adding bracing sounds like a solution in search of a problem.

In the latter 1990's, I was at a BMW motorcycle rally, had gotten there fairly early...and this young lady rolled in on her F650 and "it seemed loaded for bear"...she set up her tent nearby, and walked over to the table I was at and joined me there....I asked her if she wanted a beer, and went to got one for her...came back, and we chatted for awhile. She had a European accent, and told me she was a massage therapist from Slovenia...her name was Benka Pulko…and she asked me where I was from...so I told her: North West Arkansas...Fort Smith. She told me that she intended to ride in northern Arkansas after the rally. Eventually we got to know more about each other. She was going on a round-the-world trip on her F650! And she was on the North American leg of it, but intended to go to South America next..ALL THE WAY TO ITS TIP...and if she could find somebody WILLING to do it, she intended to catch a ride to ANTARCTICA with her bike! I was totally ENTHRALLED by then! LOL! She said that nobody had ever done Antarctica on a round-the-world trip before and she wanted to do it on hers! TOO FUNNY! Well we partied some and over that rally weekend she made many friends...so we all decided to follow her trip however we could...she gave us the info on how to do it! So, long story short...she completed that round-the-world journey...to include ANTARCTICA! As is normally usual, after someone achieves "celebrity" status, negative things tend to crawl out of the woodwork about them. This also happened to Benka! I'm normally a pretty good judge of character, and can most often pick-up on whether somebody is "full of it" or not...and with Benka, I did NOT get any of those vibes at all! She had a happy and excited way about her...and I enjoyed our short time together!

for those who are not Klipsch detail fanatics these are very nice and inexpensive and would look fine to bring back some bling to an older set of Klipsch missing its original badges.

6 lp set

Bummer, I have a lead on 3 904's about 30 miles from you for $200.00 Was gonna send you the info but they are black.........oh well, carry on soldier!

Sound better after break-in? Doubtful. More likely it's an acoustic issue related to your listening environment. Regarding break-in, here is what Bob Crites (noted Klipsch historian and designer/manufacturer of Klipsch upgrades and replacement components) has to say: (from his website)

Yes real wood veneer on the RB-75s not RB-35s. I bought my RB-75s before I sold my RB-35s and they are indeed better overall. At 3 times the going rate in sound quality, probably not, but the rarity, heft, larger horn, 1.75 in compression driver, and real wood veneer, sold me on the 75s. Bill

This is my listening posistion. It sound better and better My Line Magnetic 216ia is a good match. But I bet it would sound even better with a SET-amplifier

The Debussy I've heard on the piano my whole life has always been treasured. Any drawbacks to the digital recording @Tigerman? Have a couple of LPs that are digital but the music is totally different from the demanding aspects of an orchestral movement. Your system/s could probably be adjusted to overcome any issues though!

Here is what a Forte looks like on a set of Skylan Stands, owned by Beatlebum over at Audio Karma.

Emile, I’ll call you tomorrow if that’s ok Dollar for dollar Klipsch has no equals Name one other speaker company that can build a speaker and keep working like new after 45 plus years of service. Answer NO ONE !!!!!!

If I were only single Can't lie, I have seen worse

There a possibility, when your that age things just happen, nothing dad hasn't seen before a few times. Looks like good friends.

@Tigerman Nice find How does the album play

Wrapped in a shopping bag!..............

BTW, I've found over the years that using ABF freight is very reasonable for shipping large speakers long distances! The speakers should be packed well and protected and strapped to a pallet, though! Also you will seldom get them home-picked-up...that is a DIY deal...the same for being home-delivered!

It is raining outside and I feel empty inside. SOLD!!!!

Thanks to A&M for bumping off ArKansas this weekend!

Thank you! The picture above was from the first day with them. I have toed them in more now and it result in wider sweetspot and better image

Today I’m playing a double best of album A prolific song writer from the 70s/80s that I’m sure everyone knows He is the piano man Artist - Billy Joel Title - Greatest Hits V1 & V2
