  1. My girls did the same thing. One summer I took a nap and realized later they'd painted all my toenails. The best one was when they were into those lil sticky ear rings. Went into work one day and couldn't figure out why I had everyone's interest in the morning meeting. No one said a word all day about anything. My ear itched after lunch so I scratched it. Guess what? Yup, wore them on both ears alllll day.

  2. Might be sweet to YOU! I was beginning to think one sideburn was higher that the other. ONE guy even walked to me. He looked at my right ear then leaned over and checked the other one out. He never said a word. Smiled then said "huh." I said what and he said "oh nuttin." Come on man they ALL crucified me! 😂

  4. How's everyone doing tonight? Not paying attention to the news, not going outside in the cool rain again either. Last third of the weeds I had to cut was done during a pretty good shower after lunchtime today. It did wash the dust off of the lawn mower. & I did have fish for dinner, supposed to be flounder and darn it's been so long I'm not sure, but it was sweet with the slaw. Other decades did have some good music as far as I'm concerned... but you know which way I lean. So listen to the first tune entitled "Soothe" then hold on or turn it down if you aren't feeling it tonight Truthfully these are mostly slow songs with an edge.

  5. [SOLD] For sale is a pair of 1988 Oiled Walnut Chorus I speakers. As can be seen from the pictures, the speakers are in excellent condition all around and the walnut veneer is beautifully matched. There are a couple of dings on the risers. No watermarks or stains on the tops. Grills are clean and have the logos. The tags are faded, but very under close inspection you can make out the first digits of the serial numbers indicating they were manufactured in 1988. The speakers sound wonderful -- they have a huge soundstage and the bass is great. Price is $1200, cash. Pick-up/drop-off only -- they're large and would be expensive/difficult to ship. They're in Hanover, NH (best equipment to demo them is here) but can be relocated to metro Boston if needed. Please let me know if you have questions. Thanks, Jim

  7. My mailman stopped by w/a case of Heineken for me and thanked me for the Walsh tickets. He's stoked and ready. No wifey so he's takin another guy I know, Joe's home and he's doin the show the right way. Doors @ 430, First band up @ 6 and ending @ 1130. Just like the old day's. Gonna paint the place then strobe people to death is the game plan. The venue they're in is so easily adaptable for sound I'm sure it will sound fantastic. He's a bit stoked himself goin back to his roots for one last ride. I just hope my mailman doesn't go POSTAL! 😂

  11. I moved into a home that has lots of speakers in the ceilings. Here's what I've discovered so far: Basement - 5 ceiling speakers, all 5 sets of speaker wires comes to an entertainment center where I can hook up to receiver. - no help needed here Living room - 5 channels that all lead to a cabinet for my receiver - no help needed here This is where I get confused: Office - 2 speakers in ceiling Master bedroom - 2 speakers in ceiling In these two rooms the speaker wires are behind an outlet style plate on the wall that also has cat5 cable as well. Near the back deck there's a blank wall plate that has 2 speaker wires and a cat 5 cable again. In a hallway I have a blank wall plate with something behind it that I've yet to identify In the basement I have a "central point" that has a bunch of cat5 cable coming to it. Now I'm assuming the basement is where the central brain of some sort would be, but I have no equipment down there, and then that feeds my audio signal to these blank wall plates in different parts of my house where they might have separate volume control equipment attached to them which would also attach to speaker wires. Never really done anything like this. When we bought the house I assumed the master bedroom and office speaker wires were piped into our main living room area where the 5 channel surround wires pipe into, but that's not the case. There's also lots of coax cable that isn't for television cable/satellite in place. For example, there's a coax cable run from my receiver cabinet in my main living room to another cabinet. I'm assuming they used this to hook up a subwoofer and used the coax cable with RCA's screwed onto it to carry the signal. I don't really know. I realize pictures are worth a thousand words and I don't have any available at the moment, but can get more based on any specific criteria needed if it's helpful. Any thoughts?

  14. I have the KLF 20s and powering them with a Yamaha M80 which has plenty of power for whatever I'm playing. But when I'm listening to jazz or funk I use the Willsenton R8 that sounds fabulous with the KLFs. Tubes and Klipsch go hand in hand with great sonics.

  16. Yep its helpful. I think it'll make more sense when you see it. I highly doubt I can run new wires, they're probably snaked all through the walls and most likely were put in with other electrical when the house was built in 2007.

  17. Listened to YES earlier this Tamale-day. Everybody knows "The Yes Album" Changed over a few minutes ago & though I'd just share an excellent set I got a while back. Four cd's cover Steely Dan from 1972 to 1980. This one is "Can't Buy a Thrill" and about half of 'Countdown to Ecstasy"

  21. I do have an attic but our home is a 1.5 story so there's bedrooms over about half of the main level and no really good access. I'll poke around a bit more when I get home and come back with pictures and better explanations. Seems like they wanted to have some sort of central control with individual room control for volume based on what I can tell. Then separate from that they had the living room wired for 5 channel surround, and basement wired for 5 channel surround. All 5 speakers are in the ceiling in the basement, and I have them hooked up. I have 2 speakers in the wall in our living room, and they're the surrounds. Then 2 more are wired really high up in the room and there's a center that's wired. I have access to all of these wires and have speakers hooked up to them. It's the deck, master bedroom, and office that seem to have some sort of independent control but I don't know where they'd get their music source from.

  22. I did post an update but don't think it was approved so I'll try again. Shakey wanted Jupiter copper foil caps and I didn't want to solder them anymore than needed so they were only recently installed into the finalized chassis. Their properties at their layout location added too much parasitic capacitance into the plate circuit of the high gain pentode, Bode plots looked much different compared to the breadboard but it's expected not to be the same with different layouts but often things improve when in a real chassis compared to the breadboard with flying leads all over the place. It took a bit to find where that pole was coming from but it was confirmed when I swapped the Jupiters out for Panasonic ECQ in the same location. Shakey really wanted to use those caps so I needed to change the layout to reduce the parasitic capacitance in that plate circuit. With an open loop (no feedback) amp this wouldn't be an issue but with -20db of feedback you want the open loop characteristics as good as possible before closing the loop and working out lead/lag compensation networks. I make certain my amplifiers are unconditionally stable even under heavy capacitive loads.

  23. I pulled the grills off some of the speakers and couldn't tell what they were. I was hoping they were Klipsch (I have a lot of Klipsch speakers) but they don't appear to be. Honestly, they don't sound all that great and I don't plan to use the ones in the basement for anything other than maybe atmos and rear surrounds. What I'd like to do if the expense is manageable is to use the office/bedroom speakers mainly. It seems like these are set up to get power over ethernet, or at least use some sort of knob with an internal amplifier unless for some reason the speakers have amplifiers built in (which I don't think they do). There weren't any speakers on the deck but I've since added the Klipsch AW650's there and control them through a separate receiver that I wired into the basement. If I could control those with some sort of volume knob outdoors that would be great, but using my phone is fine too.

  24. I have to live with an amp and speakers for a few weeks or longer and then go back to what replaced them to really decide myself. Initial impressions, if new product is just different sounding, can be deceiving. I personally like both SS and tube sound but lean more to tubes.

  25. Hello fellow pro-series addicts! I have a slightly mismatched pair of KP-301s and I’m in search of a single KP-301 to use as a center channel (just has to be the same as one of the two I have). They are both series one, cloth-grills, but one is a 30.b crossover and the other is a 30.a. (I will also consider a well-priced pair, but the price would have to be great) I live in Nashville, TN. I am willing to make a drive on a Friday that could be done within a workday, round-trip. thanks for your time and attention, Alex

  29. heh It's the static display version. A guy ditched on me at an audio meet and greet. It used a couple of filament transformers to light up the heaters to the tubes for display. Then it had a plastic hammond case inside mounted on the front, with a Velleman LED control PCB inside, and a couple 9-volt batteries. (with 2004 date codes) There was a little switch on the back for the LED display. The knobs on the front are fake...like cabinet knobs screwed in with Allen bolts. The switches are real, but not connected to anything. If anything, I scored two dozen fresh input jacks, and ten good tube sockets. The wood chassis is actually solid Bubinga. I'm pondering the idea of using the aluminum chassis plate and Bubinga base for an amplifier project. But maybe shorten the plate and base for a smaller profile. Interesting piece for the Poverty Audio scrapyard...

  31. I would agree that the Forte IV is likely the closest current product to the KLF-20. The Legend series (KLF-10, KLF-20, KLF-30) was essentially the direct replacement for what I call the "Forte family" (Quartet, Forte, Chorus) when those were discontinued. The KLF-20 and the Forte were both the middle product of each set.

  39. I haven't gone thru my inventory but maybe. I'm noodling a good way to record the current v. time thru the power supply primary, tube heaters, etc. I have plenty of meters and can capture max values but would prefer to record the response differences in a plot. The sampling rate has to be high given trying to measure a transient and the resolution of the capture has to be a few mA both AC and DC.

  41. If I recall correctly, Roy has told a story about 2006 (if I have the correct year) some Boneheads went to the Factory and visited. He shared the Jubilee with them. He used an active crossover and biamped it. They all loved what they heard, but muttered that it had to be passive before they'd consider it. The following year, is when I went to one of these gatherings. Roy spent time getting it dialed in so he could use a passive. This is when Mike & myself bought a pair and essentially, what kick-started us boneheads buying the (what is now called) Underground Jubilee's. Roy shook his head with confusion.... he's muttering loud enough for us (or me anyway) to hear... "I just don't get this....I play the speaker for the crowd....they all say they'd want it with a passive. The next year, I go to a lot of work, creating a passive.....and these boneheads start buying it BUT, what to they order to go with it? an active...." Here's picture of speaker he played for us while it was in his chamber getting the passive dialed in. (I thought this was a pretty cool picture)

  43. Love this one! A woman decided to give herself a big treat for her 70th birthday by staying overnight in a really nice hotel.. When she checked out the next morning, the desk clerk handed her a bill for $250.00.  She demanded to know why the charge was so high "I agree it's a nice hotel, but the rooms aren't worth $250..00 for just an overnight stay - I didn't even have breakfast!"  The clerk told her that $250.00 is the 'standard rate,' and breakfast had been included had she wanted it.  She insisted on speaking to the Manager. The Manager appeared and, forewarned by the desk clerk, announced: "This hotel has an Olympic-sized pool and a huge conference center which are available for use."  "But I didn't use them."  'Well, they are here, and you could have." He went on to explain that she could also have seen one of the in-hotel shows for which they were so famous."We have the best entertainers from the world over performing here."  "But I didn't go to any of those shows.."  "Well, we have them, and you could have."  No matter what amenity the Manager mentioned, she replied, "But I didn't use it!" and the Manager countered with his standard response.  After several minutes discussion, and with the Manager still unmoved, she decided to pay, wrote a check and gave it to him. The Manager was surprised when he looked at the check.  "But Madam, this check is for only $50.00"  "That's correct I charged you $200.00 for sleeping with me."  "But I didn't!"  "Well, too bad, I was here, and you could have."

  44. Sorry I can't help with your question since I have not heard any of the Reference line of Klipsch. But my first Klipsch was the SB3 with SS1 for rears and SC 1 for center for Home theater. Sounded good untill we added on and with a much bigger room it did not work out as good so went bigger. Since you do like the sound of horns you should try bigger models maby floorstanders if possable. Good luck

  45. Babies are home: Quality of this image is awful, but here are a few more photos of the process and the MEHs. All the walls (vertical and horizontal) have a spongy material that gets squeezed to about 0.2-0.5mm which is used to prevent air leaking. Now, In retrospect i understand that i should have designed the MEH so that i would have a prebuilt box with all the walls tightly glued to each other into which i would submerge the horn with drivers already attached. This would better prevent air leakage. Each speaker weighs about 60 kilos. We had to bring them into my apartment on the 4th floor - it was hell I haven't tested the system yet. Have to bring amplifiers, a soundcard and a PC which would serve as a DSP and the source. So, how do you like the looks? Really excited about the fact that the main part of the project is now finished. How do i tune it?
