There are two different cornwalls that were designated Cornwall 11's. Original vertical horn Cornwalls were 11's as were the ones from the 80s with the horns mounted from the front of the motor board. The original 11's most certainly had alnico drivers on the woofers and I am pretty sure they were square. a spectacular looking pair is currently on ebay http://www.ebay.com/itm/Klipsch-Cornwall-II-Speakers-Pair-with-Original-Packaging-Beautiful-Shape-/152195176157?hash=item236f8a16dd:g:vZwAAOSwM4xXbGf6

I have recently added a bluesound node 2 and a Pulse Mini powered speaker to my system. I was looking to add speakers to my deck that would be able to play the same music that I was listening to on my main two channel set up - whether that be from my turntable or the digital music stored on my NAS . I looked at sonos but decided on bluesound because to my ears the bluesound speaker sounded better and the bluesound can stream higher res. I am very pleased with the quality and the ease of use. josh

I am in California ! By indy I meant independent ! Glad to hear your still whacking the tennis ball. Golf is too frustrating for me but I still give it a go from time to time. Not sure how long the body will allow for tennis. Achilles surgery and other assorted dings knocked me off the court for about a year and I am just now starting to hit again. Too many LPs is a good thing! Now get that that Turntable broken in! Cheers Josh

Hello Scott! Nice to see a post from an old timer. How's your tennis game? I hope your still playing. You are lucky to have quality stereo stores as there are so few of them around. I would always buy from a local indy retailer when given the choice unfortunately there are just not a lot of choices for local audio these days! BTW I would vote to go back to square avatars just so the full lp chet baker lp cover can be displayed! Josh

Is there a difference other than the obvious, between a vintage zerostat and the ones sold today?

This is a remarkable phono stage! Someone should jump on it. I have a George Wright phono stage that is an earlier but similar design and it is killer and this a fair step up from mine! BTW Dave is a great seller! Josh

Yes bought used market, a gift from my wife, measurement by the wire, don't know how to open them yet. I have to find the hatch, so far, from what i have read, it wouldn't hurt to upgraded them? am i correct? The Hatch is on the bottom of the speaker.

My point is in regards to the ethics of steaming services. Do you get it now? If not take a minor course in situational ethics and get back to me.

Nice Set Up! They look amazing and bet sound amazing as well!

I know that the answer is more than likely on the JRiver forum or in their wiki - but when I read either they are way to complicated for my computer acumen. I just need to know how do I edit the artist name. For a couple rips I mistakenly added an " or a ' or I used "The" instead of just "Beach Boys". Each of those mistakes screws up the library. It has to be easier than it appears from what I have seen or thought I was seeing on the JRiver forum. This BTW is on a windows based server which for me greatly complicates things! Thanks in advance for any council Josh

I'll say this.... The ZU 103r that I have is so much easier to mount than a standard one. Josh

Guy Charles Clark November 6, 1941 – May 17, 2016 Grammy-winner, Nashville Songwriter Hall of Fame member, Academy of Country Music Poet’s Award honoree, and fearless raconteur Guy Charles Clark. He was born in the dusty west Texas town of Monahans on November 6, 1941. The family lived at his grandmother’s 13-room shotgun hotel; home to bomber pilots, drifters, oilmen and a wildcatter named Jack Prigg, the subject of Clark’s famous song “Desperados Waiting For A Train.” When Guy’s father returned from WWII and graduated from law school, the Clarks moved to the Gulf coast town of Rockport, Texas. Guy came of age in the pretty little beach town. As captain and center, Guy led the football team. He played guard in basketball, ran the 100-yard dash and threw discus in track and field. He won science fairs, joined the Explorer’s club, presided over the junior class as president, acted in school plays, excelled on the debate team, illustrated the yearbook, and fell in love with Mexican folk songs and the Flamenco guitar. After a couple of false starts at university, Guy joined the Peace Corps in 1963. He trained in Rio Abajo, Puerto Rico, practicing water survival, rock climbing and trekking, followed by a month of book learning at the University of Minnesota. After turning down an assignment in Punjab, India, Guy moved to Houston, where he opened a guitar repair shop with his friend Minor Wilson. He played guitar and sang folk songs at the Houston Folklore Society, Sand Mountain coffee shop and the Jester Lounge, where he began life long friendships with fellow struggling songwriters and musicians Mickey Newbury, Townes Van Zandt, Jerry Jeff Walker, Kay Oslin, Frank Davis, Gary White and Crow Johnson. He married his first wife, folksinger Susan Spaw, and they had a son Travis in 1966. In 1969, after splitting with Susan, Guy moved to San Francisco and again joined Minor Wilson in a guitar repair shop. Within a year, he moved back to Houston, met and fell in love with a beautiful dark haired painter named Susanna Talley. Susanna moved from Oklahoma City to Houston to be with Guy and after a few months, she sold a painting to fund the couple’s move to Los Angeles. Guy landed a job building Dobros at the Dopyera Brothers Original Musical Instruments Company. He played with a bluegrass band on the weekends and pitched his songs to publishing companies in between. He signed a publishing deal with Sunbury Dunbar and moved to Nashville in the fall of 1971. He and Susanna crashed on songwriter Mickey Newbury’s houseboat for a few weeks and then moved into a small rental house at 1307 Chapel Avenue in East Nashville. Guy and Susanna returned to Newbury’s houseboat on January 14, 1972 along with Mickey and Susan Newbury and Townes Van Zandt as best man; the five friends sailed up the Cumberland River to the Sumner County Courthouse where Guy Clark and Susanna Talley married. In that first year in East Nashville Susanna and Townes wrote “Heavenly Houseboat Blues,” while Guy turned out “Desperados Waiting for a Train,” “L.A. Freeway,” and “That Old Time Feeling.” By the time Guy released Old No. 1, his debut critically acclaimed album for RCA Records in 1975, he had written several soon-to-be classic songs including “She Ain’t Going Nowhere,” “Let Him Roll,” “Rita Ballou,” and “Texas 1947.” He jumped from RCA to Warner Brothers in 1978, scoring a number one song with Ricky Skaggs’s take on “Heartbroke” in 1982 and breaking into the Billboard country chart with “Homegrown Tomatoes” in 1983. Clark hit his stride when he signed with Sugar Hill Records in 1989, and then released a string of significant folk and Americana albums with Sugar Hill, Asylum Records and Dualtone Music Group during the next two-and-a-half decades: Old Friends, Boats to Build, Dublin Blues, Keepers, Cold Dog Soup, The Dark, Workbench Songs, Somedays the Song Writes You and his final 2013 Grammy-winning Best Folk Album, My Favorite Picture of You. For more than forty years, the Clark home was a gathering place for songwriters, folk singers, artists and misfits; many who sat at the feet of the master songwriter in his element, willing Guy’s essence into their own pens. Throughout his long and extraordinary career, Guy Clark blazed a trail for original and groundbreaking artists and troubadours including his good friends Rodney Crowell, Jim McGuire, Steve Earle, Emmylou Harris, Joe Ely, Lyle Lovett, Verlon Thompson, Shawn Camp, and Vince Gill. His beloved Susanna died from complications of lung cancer in 2012. Due to ongoing health problems, Guy stopped touring and recording shortly thereafter. He is survived by his son Travis and daughter-in-law Krista McMurtry Clark; grandchildren Dylan and Ellie Clark; sisters Caroline Clark Dugan and Jan Clark; manager and friend Keith Case; caretaker and sweetheart Joy Brogdon; nieces, nephews and many, many dear friends, colleagues and fans.

I recently bought a pair of these for my daughter. Have to say it was a major PtA to buy them and have them shipped to her. She is in NY and I'm in California. The website did not make it easy. Besides that I don't think she has been able to get them set up - not a surprise the whole turntable thing is pretty new. I just may have to travel there and get her dialed In

Sorry Dean. I was packing up the speakers to drive them to Ohio but they sold to a great guy in Sacramento ! Josh

Big Miss! Im in the San Francisco Bay Area

Selling a pair of Cherry RF711s. I bought these a couple of years ago and they are B stock. Cannot find any flaws in the finish but they are B stock none the less! These have crossovers that were ungraded by Dean and they sound awesome. Downsizing the stereo equipment in advance of major downsizing. These replaced a pair of Belles and they did a wonderful job of doing so - after the network upgrade! I will not ship. I will drive 200 miles or so to meet someone. $1500.00 for the pair. Located in San Francisco Bay Area East of the City.

Cannot compare to USNRET offices but just an effort to keep the thread going ...here is my office

Very Nice. ! Someone needs to jump on this !

Not just a loss to country music but a loss to american music. He was one of Americas greatest artists. On par with Sinatra, Elvis, or Nat King Cole. The man was a populist icon. I dont get emotional about the loss of great musicians but I cried hard today. He is on the turntable as we speak - and will be for some time.

Very Impressive!

Josh, I have recently taken the plunge as well. I also bought an Otari MX 5050 II2. It's being serviced now but my Revox B77 has enabled me to start collecting old pre-recorded titles. Some are 50 years old! The quality is all over the place but about a third of the 30 I have acquired have been really eye-opening good. I am using my Pure Vinyl setup to listen most of the time as my primary speakers rely on an active crossover control in Pure Vinyl. But I also have an all analog setup with KEF speakers, while they lack in low end, the imaging is stunning. Always looking for titles that either not found in the digital domain or if they do the mastering for CD was not too great. How are things going for you since you started this thread? Brad I do not listen to it all that often but when I do I am amazed at the quality of the half track tapes. Where are you buying your pre recorded tapes? Josh

Indeed it is! . The massive plinth and having the motor isolated from the bearing combine to make it dead quiet!
