Happy Thanksgiving

Happy thanksgiving to one and all

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone.

Happy Thanksgiving to all from work.... 4 days in a row baby....

Happy Thanksgiving everyone, hope you had a great day! Tim

Congratulations to Roy and the folks at Klipsch ! The newest version of the Forte was listed as a finalist for both Stereophile's Speaker of the year and also as Editor's Choice for Component of the Year. In looking at the reviews and the competitors' prices, It might make sense for Klipsch to raise their prices to something astronomical. Congratulations to all .... -Tom https://www.stereophile.com/content/stereophiles-products-2021-component-year

continue with Marillions " Script for a jesters tear" .. awesome ...

and this was the second album from Ekseption i was looking for a long time ,quite rare, glad to have it now " Mindmirror " 1975 , Philips LAbel, printed in germany Loving the cover so much , it reminds me of my childhood when I was allowed to ride with my father in his Mercedes 280 SE , 3,5 It was a sublime feeling to sit in these luxury cars.

Ekseption was a Dutch rock band active from 1967 to 1989, playing mostly-instrumental progressive rock and classical rock. The central character in the changing roster, and the only band member present on every album, was conservatory-trained trumpeter Rein van den Broek (10 September 1945 - 11 May 2015). The band saw some commercial success in the 1970s, having Dutch top ten hit singles with their adaptations of Beethoven's "Fifth" and Bach's (Celebrated) "Air". The second album, Beggar Julia's Time Trip (1969), won the Dutch Edison Award for album of the year, and the first five albums all went gold. took a while to get it because it´s rare ....finally it´s mine ..the album " Bingo " 1974 Philips Label , printed in germany

Short of having test equipment to measure things with, which would be probably 95% of speaker owners, there are some general things you can figure on. I never measure capacitance and ESR on old crossovers anymore and especially on ones that old. The reason for that is that I used to do that until I concluded there were so few worth saving it was not worth it. And if say perhaps 90% of the caps measured bad why try to save one that was OK when the rejection rate indicated they would soon be bad too. Capacitance may be OK but the ESR on those will be right through the roof. I have recapped probably over 200 sets of Klipsch vintage speakers now and all show at least some improvement to dramatic improvement to my ear. I have never measured a whole crossovers output and only measure individual capacitors as they are the only components that drift over time. Jem as mentioned or Crites both have capacitors. I order from Parts Express and find that Audyn's work and are reasonably priced and do the work myself. Yes I am solidly in the replace camp. Don't throw away those old capacitors. They have some collector value and you can sell them as is on EBay and recoup some recap cost. Check the coil screw and make sure they did not stick a steel one in there. Brass or Stainless Steel only or you change the coil value from the specified one. Loosen and re-tighten all barrier strip screws and while you are in there anyway check your drives crimp connectors for tight fit. Check screws holding drivers on to be snug. Something else I have started doing is to use two caps in place of one. For the 13uf for instance perhaps a 5uf and an 8uf or any other combination that adds up to the right value gives me measurably lower ESR than a straight single 13uf cap would and those 13uf caps are not common or cheap when you find them. I do the same thing with the 2uf caps even though they are easy to find for the same reason. The idea of healthy caps that old is something I have never found data on. There is no information on allowable ESR for instance nor is there any info on allowable tolerance variation before a part should be rejected according to non existent tolerance specs on those old crossovers. For that reason I try to stay very close to the specs as listed on schematics and figure that is the ideal goal the designer had in mind for correct sound. 50 year old caps may give a sound some like but it is for sure not the sound the speaker started out with. I have yet to see anyone take new caps out and stick 50 years old caps back in because they sound better.

Happy Thanksgiving to all you guys!

It has been @RandyH Right Back atcha !

still beautiful ...Marillion`s " misplaced childhood " 1985 , EMI Records , printed in germany

always worth to listen to ..Dire Straits " Communiqué " 1979 , Vertigo Label, printed in germany

In the Eye of the Storm is the first studio album by British pop/rock musician Roger Hodgson, who was a founding member of the British band Supertramp. The musical style found on In the Eye of the Storm is often referred to as progressive art pop, and is partly reminiscent of the Supertramp style of the 1970s. Keyboard sounds (especially in In Jeopardy and Give Me Love, Give Me Life) and staccato piano sounds repeatedly stand out as the main instruments, while other instruments, such as Supertramp's typical wind instruments (e.g. saxophone), fade into the background. The most famous songs of the album are Had a Dream (Sleeping with the Enemy) (with just under 8½ minutes the second longest song on the record), whose video, for example, was often shown by MTV, In Jeopardy, as well as the ballad Lovers in the Wind (with just over 4 minutes the shortest song) and the bombastic-symphonic Only Because of You (with just over 8½ minutes the longest work).

Happy Thanksgiving to you all🙂

My favourite version of a Genesis track is on the live Second's Out album At 24 minutes it’s something special - Suppers Ready So I will spin that in a couple of hours Just woke up so coffee first 😎

Well as long as @Dave1291will help us, unfortunately @JohnJ can´t spin and help us in this matter ..so sad ...

Only if our friends join in the fun 🤪

@Full Range we´re not far away from the 15.000 reply ...just less than 100 records to spin, you think we can do it together this weekend 🤣

I read somewhere that they got the idea to mix classical music with rock from a British band called the Nice I have a couple of Ekseption albums one is The 5th

I think we all should give Roy tomorrow off.

Replace the whole filter. Those are dumpster fodder.

These are not rare, nor do they have any significant historical value. I have seen many of these crossovers with the same capacitors. "Reasonably well" is not what you want. Technology has advanced just a bit in the last 60 years.

There is another effect, potentially at work in this particular case. I recall an article that I read, oh, it must have been thirty years ago, about speaker cables. They found significantly more effect from poor connections than from differences in wire. They weren't taking about cable terminations (whether to crimp or solder); they were talking about how well the wire was connected to the amplifier on one end and to the speaker on the other. Loose connections, corroded connections, differences in contact surface area, all had a greater effect than the wire itself. The OP reported that his bass response improved when he returned to the original 12 ga. That's entirely possible if, in the process of swapping-out the cables, a loose connection was tightened, or some corrosion was removed, or simply a better connection was achieved.

IROBOT is great too but...

I wonder if Greta has listened to Giant Hogweed ? If not - she should

Sounds good @billybob I'll finish cleaning the kitchen later, time to relax for an hour!!

With all due respect .... if the OP is suffering a medical issue, then talk to a medical expert. The Klipsch forum is not a substitute. Tinnitus can be a result of Noise exposure. There are ways of preventing further damage. If it is a symptom of an underlying disorder, then it should be treated. Any talk of whether a "speaker is the cause" is ridiculous. Treat this seriously and not as some audiophile nonsense.
