No. I too was making light of the photo, not criticizing your funny remark. As you know, nuance available through spoken words is lost in the keyboard.

Also, giving away a brand new pair of Cornwall IV's. (Wouldn't that be nice...) Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

@dirtmudd @Full Range Ready for the Show .......

The Animals, House of the Rising Sun.

Things are a bit slow on the forums so thought you might want to watch me swap tubes. Out with the EL-34s and in with the KT-120s. A little more horse power😉

Going back in time again More great and memorable Prog from a supergroup of the 70s Some say it’s the first supergroup in rock history A brilliant album that was a beacon for up and coming artists to follow ( I’m looking at you Jordan Rudess of Dream Theatre ) Some brilliant interplay with drums and keyboards Artist - Emerson Lake & Palmer Title - Tarkus Album ID - https://www.discogs.com/Emerson-Lake-Palmer-Tarkus/release/3813684

Could be I was just wanting to hear some gals singing tonight, this one does have the lp up at youtube Oh search youtube for ding dong.... as in 🎵"Follow the Yellow Brick Road"🎶& you'll be up on the latest.

Really wasn't feeling it for the feat tonight but I just had to. Now for the one record I have by a band I dig... brings back memories of a spectacular friendship that will rekindle someday! Jeeze the cover looks like my patio, except for the urethane caulk leftover I put in it twenty years ago when the chipmunks f'd up a lot here

Alright @Dave1290 And you know that you're over the hill When your mind makes a promise that your body can't fill Doin' the old folks boogie And boogie we will 'Cause to us the thought's as good as a thrill

@dirtmudd and @MicroMara Have you heard Ozzy Osborne’s cover of 21s Century Schizoid Man

@MicroMara

Scott and I finally met up last weekend, so that I could pick up the E-V ELX118 subs. He drove closer to me, so he saved me a long drive as well. He was right that they are big 26" x 22.6" x 20" each. I finally got a chance to play today, added some bass to my La Scala, now I need to buy an amp to give them more power. My first experience with passive subs, so I will need to do some experimenting. Thank you Scott for the generous offerings to the Forum!

That's kind of what I said @MicroMara!

@dirtmudd KRAUTROCK Unlimited Edition is a compilation album by the band Can. Released in 1976 as a double album, it was an expanded version of the 1974 LP Limited Edition on United Artists Records which, as the name suggests, was a limited release of 15,000 copies (tracks 14–19 were added). The album collects unreleased music from throughout the band's history from 1968 until 1976, and both the band's major singers (Damo Suzuki and Malcolm Mooney) are featured. The cover photos were taken among the Elgin Marbles in the Duveen Gallery of the British Museum.

The chorus line uses a full 1 inch plywood motor board

Remember when it came out and I didn't even like the title track. When something lands on your doorstep so to speak and is in M condition you might as well try it out! I'll play it every now and then, since there is no 95Q anymore I've got my own analog catalog. Could maybe go a month or so non-stop without repeating now, I never imagined that! What is usually a folded album cover with an lp on either side is a larger thicker single type. With a cardboard sleeve then a thick paper one on each lp... ok... I love Rumors and the older one with the very similar cover. Think Black Magic Woman is their very best record, and it's a more blues based R&R! That figures... with my tastes!

The wide trucks on his board are better for stability but even if those pants are Kevlar I don't think his life expectancy is very long!

Unfortunately I have not yet reached your home country. I was so close so often. Singapore, Jakarta, Sumatra, Bali . I even had business friends in Singapore who came from Australia. They were great guys .... completely crazy like me They lived in Perth.

Yep sure is Plenty of space to admire the beauty of nature Come for a visit sometime

But you have plenty of space on the southern side of the earth ..

I never understood this album, I still can't understand it today. I really only like the song " Tusk " ....this one is really great

It was an attempt at humor. I guess I failed. Bill

I was fortunate to see them in the early 90's Great show.. also had tickets in mid-late 80's with Cozy... but the show cancelled..

They are very nice except for the kitty "urine" on one of them. Bill

Stunning topography

Mossy! Good to see you again my friend! Spent the afternoon and most of the evening cleaning records. Going to be a forever kinda thing. Been on it a week and finally got thru the Allmans. hahaha

That record blew me away when it was released...and it ages well!!!

lets make it loud and clear--------

These are headed north of me. Going to a good home to be enjoyed like they should.

Ahoy mateys, shiver me timbers, and prepare to be boarded! tomorrow is International Talk Like a Pirate Day! http://talklikeapirate.com/wordpress/sample-page/

Wow, this thread moves and grows really quickly. Anyway, in memory of Diana Rigg, here are her first and last appearances on The Avengers. There was always a sexual tension between John Steed and Mrs. Emma Peel, but her husband was absent and presumed dead, and we never found out if that tension between our heroes was ever resolved. As Emma leaves, her replacement, Tara King, arrives.

Cleaning out my basement and some things just have to go. It's amazing how many interconnects and speaker wire I've accumulated over the years..... I've managed to sell all the gear I'm gonna sell....for now. This forum has been really good to me. Free KG speakers just come and pick them up and they're yours. They need work but nothing out of the ordinary considering their age. 1. KG 3.2 Cosmetically they're in good shape. Probably need crossovers but they do work as is. 2. KG 4.2/Black Cosmetically a little rough but nothing a sanding and some paint can't take care of. Probably need crossovers and one woofer. 3. KG 4.2/Light Oak Cosmetically in pretty good shape. Probably need crossovers and one woofer. I was combining one good speaker from each pair of 4.2's to make a working set. They're FREE.....come and get em! I'll drive a reasonable distance to meet you if neccessary. Located in Powers Lake, WI (near Lake Geneva) between Chicago and Milwaukee. Thanks! Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

MicroMara, "wood" that be a screaming Mandrake plant, sitting on your table?

I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. Please alert me if you ever do it again. Thanks in advance.

The folks in the USA and Europe had the lions share of concerts We on the far side of the world missed out on a lot However we were seen as barometers of who will make it and who will fail

I have always tried to have the same 3 Speakers for the Front Sound Stage. When I bought the RF82 II's I was using the Synergy F20 because it's large and it did sound ok but I wasn't real Happy. Crutchfield had One RF 82II left and I Grabbed it. Now using it as My Center with my New Marantz. Made a Big Difference as I like 4 & 5 Channel Music. For 5 Channel Music a Big Center makes all the difference because a lot of music come through the Center. I also like the sound of this Marantz over the Denon. I'm not using any Sound processing but I do like the sound better. Get a Big Center, it's worth it.

The Primaluna amps offer a lot for their money. Impeccable build quality, autobias circuit, tube freedom, point to point wiring. They are doing it properly! I am currently playing with the Primaluna evo 400 separates on the Klipsch cornwall's. Incredible sound quality. You must hear this ...

Get Ready is the RIAA Platinum-certified second studio album by American blues rock band Rare Earth. It was released on September 30, 1969 by Motown Records. The album spawned one hit single, an 21 : 30 minutes edited version of "Get Ready", which peaked at #4 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1970. Well I was 8 years old at that time.

Preamps Matter.

This is a bad photo, but the stained-glass window is fake. I built it, even incorporating a piece of plexi-glas I found in mom&dad's basement. It has an LED panel behind it that is dimmable. I haven't built the circuit yet, but the idea is to have a light sensor on the outside of the workshop near the attic vent that detects the level of light, then the circuit translates that into a dimming voltage for the panel. That way the stained glass window shows the proper light level that is really outside.

Who will be first to notice the coincidences in this high school band practice room where my younger son is placing a Klipsch Heritage speaker on top of an instrument locker?

It’s a great amp and after a long history of being in the solid state world I took a dive into it. I am very pleased with its sound. I will say that I enjoyed good solid state prior to jumping into this amp (McIntosh MHA headphone/integrated Pioneer SC 09TX, SX 1050, SX 1280, NAD). I have listened to the primaLuna Luna amp through the new Hersey IV and KLF 20s. Currently I have them hooked up with the KLF 20s. This combination provides a very nice clear and crisp open sound With the deep bottom end. Some may find the sound of the amp to be a little bit brighter than the solid state amps I mentioned. Some might say more “airy” or whatever adjective. The mid range through the amp sounds very pleasing, and the bass is very present. I will say the whole debate for me on solid state vs tubes is pretty silly bc honestly I love the sound of my McIntosh amp and I’m still longing to repurchase a pioneer SX amp that I mistakenly got rid of. Lesson learned. I don’t like to run this amp with a heat wave of 100 plus degrees, as my house has a hard enough time keeping cool up with the A/C. It’s good to have the solid state amp instead of the small heater (Evo 400) in these conditions. One thing worth mentioning is the amp has an input for preamp or home theater , and you can use a “Bypass”. Unfortunately, I found it wasn’t that quiet (however note I use very efficient speakers). I use my Mcintosh amp as a digital preamp for the Evo. The aux inputs are much quieter I’ve found. The reason being is that the bypass input has the gain set to unity so you can use whatever preamps volume instead of the primaluna volume. But believe it or not it got quieter over time. Basically There was a slight hum that could be heard through my highly efficient speakers. I’ve found that overall it’s provides a slightly wider sound stage than my very good McIntosh solid state. I did hook the Evo 400 up to friends heresy IIs, and I must mention that I didn’t like the sound of the combination. The Heresy II can sound A bit harsh and thin in my opinion through this, with no subs. It’s unbelievable how different the Heresy IVs sound vs the old Heresy II. In a nutshell, this Evo 400 sounds very good. It’s basically the best sounding thing in my setup. edit: I did compare the headphone stage vs the McIntosh Headphone/integrated amp. I found it to be a close tie. The McIntosh headphone amp is just super warm, super quiet, and provides the bass. The Primaluna has a very excellent headphone amp. But Best in the world as claimed by Kevin Deal in his videos? I don’t think so. The solid state just provides a super quiet clean sound. But the tube provides a nice crisp detail sound that has more emphasis in the higher frequencies. And during quiet passages, you know you’re listening to a tube amp.
