Testing the changing function: Stivie Wonder - The Secret Life of Plants

Amazing! Ya haven't heard it in a while so ya pull it then listen. THEN you have to put it away but ya give it one more listen. Prove me wrong! :)

Nope, no nuts, no globs of extra chocolate just regular brownies. Not too bad either. I love my new phone! Not really... Daughter said it's so easy. 😂

Well if they have walnuts or pecans that's good enough by me!

Just stay outta my road big fella. Buddy's lil woman bought me some home made brownies last nite. No, sorry, just regular brownies. lol

Still werkin! Ugh! Kinda werkin!

I´m afraid I could ill afford the needles You order... 😆

Or we could work out a trade. You do the albums and I'll order your new needle.

You're worried about a new needle and I'm sitting here looking at piles again? Guess it's about time to put some away and get a bit more organized. As if... 😂

No worries guys. The TT plays just fine with the other catridge. Will order a new needle this week. 👍

It's Monday somewhere

Now for something different

I love where I live!

The Zone 2 and Zone 3 signal paths have several stipulations about inputs and signal types and sequences of button pressing operations. Functions can accidentally be disabled without realizing how or why.

Playing CD while troubleshooting for subwoofer sound. Common error. Boring times...think I'll start a youtube music thread.

Amazed at the number of people who don't know Boz Scaggs.

You must be fun to work with!

@Full Range that is the most incredible music box I have ever heard! Of course we couldn't carry it out of grandma's room for everyone to hear like hers with some Brahms inside it.

I'm in "album clerk" mode now but i CAN listen while I work Makes things a bit easier to do with this on

Here is my setup; pictured Rogue Audio Atlas Magnum II Rogue Audio RP-7 preamp Rogue Audio Pharaoh Elekit TU-8800 which I built not pictured Luxman CL-38uC Preamp Rogue Audio ST-100 Amp Tavish Adagio Phono Preamp Tubes are incredible sounding 😁😁

Some AVRs have so many inputs, outputs, DSP modes and remote Zones that you often need to sketch or visualize a flowchart in order to follow the signal path. Glad that you are having good tunes again!

My klipsch promedia 2.1 thx computer speakers stopped working after I had turned off my pc for the night. I don't usually have the volume high and the subwoofer is usually kept at the same level. I tried unplugging and reconnecting the speakers, as well as resetting my computer and checking my computer settings. I hear the buzz from the subwoofer and the light on the control panel for the speakers work. I also tried connecting the speakers to different devices but it still doesn't work. I know the control panel works because I tried connecting my headphones to the control panel and it works. I'm not really sure what to do about my speakers. I bought my speakers in January of 2021 and they have been plugged in and used most of the time I had it except for maybe 2 months. If anyone can help me I would really appreciate it.

Haha, please do as I am now totally confused

Actually, who knows? Yes, "loose nut" and many pilot errors with modes not compatible with CD/DVD's. All-channel stereo seems to be the only thing that works Will "play" more with that. But did determine that the HDMI passthrough to zone-2 pre-out is BAD. Spend a day and a half on that So; switched to "zone-3," which of course ( ) does NOT take HDMI inputs. Therefore just using an RCA cable from my Oppo to the AVR. Haha, probably would have been easier just to go Oppo to preamp/Crown/KPT-904's (which I did try just to make sure the big speakers worked) Yes, still shopping for a new AVR. Looked at many, including a Yamaha RX-A2A ... Jeez; even that one does NOT pass-through HDMI to pre-out. $1000 and NO GO May have to live with this one or go high-end Marantz - but hate that little porthole Cheers, Emile

@Emile @Khornukopia so what the f was the problem? Perspiring minds want to know. Loose nut behind the wheel? Pilot error? cold solder joint?

Naa, it drops the second LP, but doesn´t shift the tone-arm back over the platter. Needs some fine-tuning. Maybe I´ll do that later, everything else seems to be working. Ordered two stylus (styli?), one eliptical and one spherical to experiment.

Boz was smack in the middle of my sumertime background in `76! *

I just looked at his avatar...his plates at least used to be were Louisiana. @rockhound I was thinking YOU

Your welcome....Wow I did not have the rugs in front of them when you were here..I had forgotten that fact.

they are marked "T.I." & some have confirmed what that brand is, but no further info is ever provided on jem caps quality or comparison to other popular brands like sonicaps or even the same type of polyester caps as jem/klipsch, so far all we get are ambiguous comments with no real data or explanation... or the subjective opinions from a guy that has never tested or probably even owned the caps or other products he bashes. i agree & im sure many others do too, that some type of info on quality or comparisons of jem to other caps would be nice & probably even help the sales of their caps if they are as good as some say or their price suggests...

With an active pair of Main speakers, you may find the relative simplicity of the single-amped Surround AL5s to be one less thing to think about, especially if their amplifier has a similar power output and sound quality to that of the ones powering the Jubilees. Turn on (your system) and tune in (to the music) and you’re there, in the place you want to be. Hey, JubScalas are a concept that I can vouch for, but in the Surround position a fine-sounding amplifier driving your AL5s may give you all you need or want, with an understated (by the standard of us fanatics) look to your system. In my case, I knew I was there when I added the two higher-end subs, replacing the single mid-range model. Now the sound came together, from bottom to top. Since then, I just roll up the volume (the system is always powered up, per recommendations from Yamaha) and enjoy, with no thought (finally!) of any possible tweaks or upgrades needed. Any significant weaknesses have been addressed (that “S” word is the key), so there are no small or large tweaks or upgrades to think about. The sound is there. It’s nice. Your mileage may vary, of course.

No hard feelings here just a little confused by it. Appreciate the kind words from you and others. Bill

And that is great. Nice speakers, nice price. Yes I am a bit surprised but IMO, it's not a cool thing to mention other speakers for sale on another one's ad. Bill

That's why I put the smirk under that Sir! Some swear by it, some argue vehemently against it. Do think the 6AK5 variant of tubes I have might mellow a bit in a month or so though! I won't touch the cable things I was practically attacked over again. Unless you read my opinion at my page. Of course I jest.

Uh no, they did not break-in THAT much. (RP-600M II). My first gen 600M's sounded a little better after a month but they were 99% good to go right out of the box. Agree with you that they don't sound like Heritage when played as L/R with an AVR. They sound excellent standalone. I don't use tubes so I bow to your experience on that. Using the 600M as L/R w/Sub the characteristic sound is a LOT like my RF-83's, $2500 speakers when new.

I've got a pair of the RP-600M IIs hooked up for about six weeks now. No experience with HT, 2.1 has been it so far. Variables come into play, as always. Until I tweaked what I was putting into them there wasn't much resemblance to the Heritage sound. With their size did not expect it. So, I got different tubes, made other changes. Now I have more realistic vocals, instruments and the imaging! To me they remind me of the Klipsch Heritage Sound that I know and love! Or did they "break in"?

I had about 40 pounds of pre '64 silver quarters. It was a good investment.

Is this kinda what you are asking? Here's a REW voltage test using three different 2uf capacitors in series with an 8 ohm resistor. The plots are the voltages across the resistor. As you can see in the first plot, they pretty much lay on top of each other. The second one is zoomed in, and they are within .15 db of each other. Red is a Sonicap 2.01uf Orange is a 2.04uf oil can pulled from an old Heresy. Green is a new GE polyester 2.01uf I'm still trying to figure out why my crude setup always shows a voltage drop around 19khz. Mike

Yes and nearby. I am in Hiawassee GA

KT 150 Integrated amp built by a local engineer.

My daughter wanted to have her name in graffiti in her bedroom. So I put up some brick paneling and she hired a couple guys to come in and tag it. The last pic is one of her college graduation pictures 7 years later.

And now they're unobtanimum, So why would anyone ever want to audition them?

Gaelic has such a nice ring to it. Clannad:

I disagree, it will fit the bill very well for MUSIC. A sub that size with an 18 can be flat to 30 hz. with little EQ on the bottom and is a STEAL of a price. It adds almost 2 octaves of REAL, Low Distortion BASS to LSs. The lumber is worth the asking price for gosh sakes. Plus it won't need much power as it's pretty close to a LaScala in sensitivity. Stick it between 2 LaScalas with a good Sub Plate amp from Parts Express and rock you brains out!!!
