My first listen to Tubes with my Klipschorns
paul cbc replied to Dave in ABQ's topic in 2-Channel Home Audio
I agree-keep the Scott. You already like it. They are really sweet sounding units with NICE phono stages. Well worth it to send it off to Craig (NOS Valves) for a going over. Money well spent, and you're good to go for quite some time. I'm sure Craig will help you with tubes as well. Enjoy! Paul[] -
shure v15 type III hits record high on ebay.

Ki, I'm in the same boat. Have tried a generic replacement and was not impressed. Have heard good things about these guys, but havent' actually found anyone who's purchased one of their styli: http://www.export-japan.com/marketing/stylus/index.php?cPath=18&sort=2a&page=6 [^o)] Paul -
For up to $1K (used), best SS amp? Most tube like?
paul cbc replied to BS Button's topic in 2-Channel Home Audio
I'd second Josh's reccomendations on a McIntosh SS amp. They were designed to sound the "same" as their tube amps, and do sound good with Klipsch. The MC 2105 springs to mind as fitting under your budget. Get one with a nice wood case in good condition. A solid amp with excellent build quality. Get a nice one and if you decide to sell it should be pain free. Paul -
Nice offer Steve.[]

Might be getting my first Klipsch speakers tomorrow - need advice
paul cbc replied to whtboy's topic in 2-Channel Home Audio
whtboy, 3 words: Get the Corns. You remembered liking the sound. You have a budget that comes pretty close. Worse case scenario-provided you stay on budget, you can sell them for what you have into them. This way you can hook them up in your system and decide for yourself. The Cornwalls have a unique sound. At a decent price in like condition, they are a pretty low risk proposition. Stick around the forum for a while and you'll end up with a pair. Good luck! Paul -
Bruce, My thoughts are with you and your family. Paul

Nice pair of rectifiers for your MC30s on ebay.

Allan, Any thoughts on how these compare to a Mullard CV 378? Paul -
Be Honest - Who Has the Oldest Klipsch?
paul cbc replied to Jeff Matthews's topic in General Klipsch Info
I'll surely be pre-dated in this, but I have a pair of 1971 Cornwalls. Vertical horns, oiled walnut. Stock except for the grills-generic black material(need to get off my butt and make some cane ones!). -
OT: Amazing What Diet And Exercise Can Do
paul cbc replied to garymd's topic in General Klipsch Info
Gary, Congratulations, and well done with your positive health changes. It is such a wonderful thing as you not only help yourself, but others who can learn from/see your example. Last week I had a friend visit. He had been heavy for quite some time (10+ years). About a year ago, he said "enough". Changed his diet and increased exercise. He's lost 120 lbs and is a completely different person. It is wonderful to see. Thank you for sharing, Paul -
N Nice work! I don't think you'll regret this decision. A NEW Belle-Fantastic! Enjoy[] Paul

Need suggestions for buying a TT for around $500
paul cbc replied to jwc's topic in 2-Channel Home Audio
If you're looking at the Technics, you might want to take a peek at the KAB site: http://www.kabusa.com/frameset.htm?/index.htm Take the factory tour, etc. This guy does a lot of these and matches them up w/ carts, etc. Might be a good resource for you. Good luck! Paul -

I agree these look nice, albeit somewhat distressed. My understanding is that J=1971. I have a set of 1971 Conrwall II's Vertical Horns. Label Reads: C-WO-15 2J163 The wood on these appears much lighter than mine. Perhaps as Colter suggested Fir? Definitely a set worth checking out if local! Paul[li]

Sounds like a pretty good deal with the shipping included. Like you said you avoid customs charges with keeping this North of the Border. One thing might be to check if the shipping quote includes insurance. If they are professionally packed, this could strengthen a potential (hopefully not needed[]) claim. If insurance is not included, consider offering to pay for it. Hope it goes well, Paul

Nice deal for someone![H]

Thebes, Have you tried solder "wick" or "braid"? Heat up the area you are desoldering and use the braid to pull the melted solder away from the connection. Pretty sure you can get this at radio shack or at least a hobby store. Paul

For a Dynaco stereo 70 running "stock" I like: RCA 7199-no substitutes here, just bite the bullet and get them. They last. JJ E34L-I really like their overall tone: solid bass, great midrange and smooth highs. 5AR4/GZ34-Well a Mullard GZ34 is nice but pricey. I think Craig sez the new Sovtek rectifier is good. If so, I'd go with it as this spot could be spendy after buying the 7199's. Hope this helps, Paul
