Forgot this waaaaay back there!

Thanks to@hornographic for finding this.

Happy Holidays my friends ☕ MKP 🙂

@Emile, your post reminded me of this album I rarely play, not because I don't like the music (I'm quite fond of Handel's Messiah) but simply because I want to preserve the vinyl as much as possible. Purchased this in the late 70's, Argo label by Decca Record Co. Neville Marriner (deceased) conducting The Academy and Chorus of St. Martin-In-The-Fields with various soloists. A three-record set that I may have played twice in all the years I've had it. Happy listening, and Merry Christmas !

Merry Christmas one & all

Merry Christmas everyone.

OK; Christmas ... did "Pavarotti Christmas" DVD ... very old recording; questioning my preamp (Nikko Beta II into a Crown K1 amp). Jeez ... midnight ... playing Handel's Messiah by the London Symphony Orchestra/Choir ... awesome ... preamp sounds good now ... but still "shopping"

Happy Birthday No problem.........after she finishes cooking.

See your taking care of business John... like those covers! Merry Christmas all...

I love whyyerr threads and I think some consideration should be given to the very serious import of doing things right. I think there are a couple of things to think of here.First I endorse the use of high density metal conductors. You see what many in the audiophile world don’t understand is that the space in between the interstices of atoms is larger or smaller depending on the element in question. So your pure Platinum speaker cable is a top choice to make. Why you might ask and I am happy to answer. Have you ever heard a pop when your system comes on? This is more than likely due to electron puddling where the wire dips and the interstices allow for this electron puddling to happen. You see there is an accumulation of new fresh flowing electrons and then the puddled ones all propelled along at the same time and that surge from the puddled + new does this until the puddled ones are bled off. Of course denser metal stops a percentage of this but still in all you DO have to think of conductor slope. I have found the very best answer to be to have the amp, assuming the amp to be the very last item in the circuit which does then feed directly into the speaker cable, must be elevated above the speaker with at least a 10 degree slope angle going down towards the speaker. No dips or sags anywhere and how you do that does not matter. Personally I find acrylic tubes in decorator colors work best and look good doing it. I have found through serious research that a slope angle higher than 30 percent will unduly accelerate low frequency note electrons as heavier things are more affected by slope angle so be careful how steep you make your conductor runs. Also your crossovers, if there are any, need to be moved to the very top of the inside of the cabinet to maintain slope integrity. In this case if your slope to driver angle is greater than 30 degrees you might have to run the leads in a spiral down fashion on the inside cabinet surfaces accordingly. Once you combine correct conductor metal with correct slope you will find your sound to be flowing and vibrant and none of the accumulated electron problems will arise. One word of caution though on the choice of acrylic tube. Stay with the clear tubes and not the tubes with dark opaque hues to them as they will color your sound in a negative fashion.

Merry Christmas everybody, As I sit here in the dark, the powers been out since 4 o’clock today. Or did I perhaps throw the breaker to darken the place and allow Santa to sneak in the back door?

Brother Claus left here a couple hours ago and after putting the place back to normal got to check my overloaded inbox! In a predicament here, he brought me a handful of records from the first crate of that haul he had a while back. Clean vinyl with several careless bad scratches. Those decades old covers are in pretty good shape! The Boston is the most clean but it's also their worst release if I remember right.

Just glad you were not hurt, they say more people are hurt or killed when they try to miss the deer and end up off the road. And like you said glad it did not end up in the car, I have never been in a car when the airbags go off either, probably feels like you were hit with a deer ? If you only had this book

Hope everyone has a good Christmas, and be safe if traveling.

Merry Christmas and Happy Birthday Christy, @dtel's wife. Let — make — Elden, @dtel, wait on you today. You shouldn’t need to lift a finger.

Wired up that pair of KG4 I got for the youngest daughter. Imma thinking she's gonna enjoy them when she hears them later. I sure do! They sound great! Gotta get them outta here so I can get some work done this winter! That turntable? Might hit Hope then head up to Phoenix to hang w/her before she gets her Master's. Lil extra baggage but it's all good! Hope everyone is enjoying their Christmas!

Hear, hear! Let me know where you are. Took a job with the FDA in Beltsville and will be traveling light...Klipschless. Going to need a fix at some point. Dave

Hey MKP......would you work on a Chevy Cruze? Only driven by a little old man on Sundays. Can pay with venison steaks.

My older son sent me this...

Merry Christmas to all. Got light snow and a rib roast in the traeger. Enjoy.

The BTO from above is in the best shape! Just a couple smudges, lots of bass in this early 70s mastering. Ho! Ho! Ho!

"Good Grief !... Lucy don't touch that football !" He's also got a little person on the end of his nose. How'd you know @dirtmudd I bit a 500mg bayer in half before I even took a leak this morning at 5:30!

Merry Christmas, Speaker nerds! Had about 30 people here yesterday (at least) Should have the even more today. My family Christmas Eve, my wife's family Christmas Day. Lotta work, Lotta fun! Just put my second Turkey on the grill for day two.

You've been missed!

Merry Christmas! I really hope you all the best. I just got the turkey ready to go in in 30 mins. Thats all I have to do. I guess you could say the wife gave me the bird!

Merry Christmas!

Well that sucks! Lets hope they restore it soon.

Good flippin Stuff 🤣

Merry Christmas to all my forum friends. I hope to see a bunch of you in the up coming year.

My friend Bruce and I felt lucky to se B.B. in Portland , Or in 1980. We were so stoked to have tickets. At first we were a little nervous (I know there was no reason to be) because from our seats we could see that we were the only 2 white guys there for the tunes. I am certain we were not but I was looking. That was my initial memory from then. Of course when B.B and Lucille took the stage it was all love. Dancing and feeling the groove. I was youngish and dumb then. But a major feather in my concert cap. Love the King.

Hi Mark, Dave, @Mallette, might be headed to Beltsville. He was wondering who from the Forum might be nearby. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

13 year old Christmas present from my wife. Can't wait to try it.

Merry Christmas! Quit being such a stranger. We miss having you around.

Merry Christmas Mark, hope all is well.

Merry Christmas to you and yours.

Feliz Navidad Mele Kalikimaka...and a Merry Christmas to you and yours.

To you also, happy kids, what more could you want ?

Go to the post office and look at the photos on the bulletin board and you'll swear that they were taken at a pilgrimage. Merry Christmas to you.

Very Merry Christmas to all my forum friends and their family's. Be safe and enjoy all those around you.

Merry Christmas, y’all!! Happy Birthday to Jimmy Buffett, too!

Haha....that's good 😃
