Wow, I have not been around for a few years but came back to seek information re the dead tweeter in one of my CW's - - - and surprised to see so many of the names I still recognize. Been playing with woodworking for a few years and a remodel ( that may never end) so kind of lost touch. Best regards, Patrick

I will give it a try. Thanks, patrick

Chad, for the last several weeks when I log in I get a "No New Content" message on the main page, even though I can tell that there is activity in the individual forums. Did something change or am I missing some setting or pull down menu??????????????????????????

I added two photos to the original post, and one below. The second picture was taken first. It shows the threaded stud on the inside of the speaker cab. The first picture shows the break in the connector and the base of the threaded stud. The third picture - if I can resize it to upload it, shows where the break occurred. Attached below. Note that both the red plastic and black plastic (Rt and Lt) or (neg and positive) are broken off, just leaving the head of the threaded stud. Sorry I didn't load the pictures earlier.

I tried finding threads about replacement binding posts for KG4's but came up empty. I also went to the Klipsch.com sites looking for parts but came up empty, so I will ask you all for help. My daughter was moving and the binding post on her KG4 broke when someone (not me) apparently tried to unscrew it and kept going until the stud broke. I went to PartsExpress to look at binding posts but they mostly see to be too long - the part INSIDE the cabinet. The binding post goes thru the black plastic cup on the rear of the speaker and protrudes thru it a LITTLE, but the space is limited because the XO board is mounted to the back of the black plastic cup. Can someone point me in the right direction or give me a part number, please? I am not adverse to upgrading a bit while it is opened up. Thank you, Patrick

Craig, good question, as I assume that would tell us if it is in the pre amp/phono section. I only have the TT hooked up in this system but will move a CD player and hook up, but can't do until tomorrow. Thank you, Patrick

Hey guys (and gals), embarrassed to ask BUT where do I start? Listening to vinyl on a VPI Scout with Sumiko bluebird (blackbird?). McIntosh 240 and Juiicy Music BBX. Suddenly the vocals (both Neil Diamond and Joan Baez) sounded muddled. Know Diamonds and Rust album well and put it on after Neil Diamond sounded weird. Confirmed it wasn't the album, but the system. How do I decide if it comes from the amp or the pre amp??? I note one of the tubes on the 240 doesn't "glow", but where do I start ? Thanks in advance for any guidance, Patrick

Hey Jordan, HAPPY BIRTHDAY big guy. Also, like Gilbert, would be curious hearing your thoughts on how the pre is fitting into your system, impressions, etc. Best regards, Patrick

Sancho , I thought it was I who was supposed to be tilting at the windmills . . . . .

In California it takes me to the homepage

Oh, c'mon Dean, don't let the bastards get you down (or into your head). There are always going to be naysayers and the socially inept; it comes with the territory. Likely envy, petty jealousy, etc. Dude, ya got a LOT of fans out here, many of whom are polite and therefore silent. You have contributed alot to this forum and you are one of the posters i always look forward to reading, even though most of the technical stuff goes over my head. Shake it off. The sun came up today, and it will tomorrow too, and the next day . . . . . . .

well, interesting . . . .kinda . . . BUT Budman's Ramblin' Rosies still WIN the beauty contest . . . followed closely by Dr. Gary's Zebra CW's (yes, i know he isn't really a dr.) and then, of course, there are Jorjen's Jubes . . . . . . . .Alas, so many speakers and so few funds available .. . . .

Dude, I am dying here; you are killing me. If it sounds anywhere near as sweet as it looks, you may be in heaven. Still, you're killing me . . . . Best to the family, Patrick

ah Stew, I was hoping this was another joke thread for Fini . . . . . you got me all excited . . . .and then no chuckles . . . . . .

Allan, good to see you posting. I haven't been around here much for the past year or two, but got a big smile on my face seeing Gary, you and Craig all posting . . . ah, the good old days!!! Great music, thanks for the link.

Coytee, i frequently do the reverse of that, even at Starbucks or the market getting lunch. The clerk will announce the total and i will say: "Is it okay of I pay with cash? I have ID." Even though I have a smile on my face and a twinkle in my eye, I am surprised how one-half of the clerks look at me and say "huh?"

gotta LOVE what's cooking in your kitchen!!!

[]Exactly, which is why I dropped out of the bidding once it went over 3 million . . . . . . .

JB, you got WAY too much time on your hands!

Congrats, all five of mine started out bald . . .. so he has a jump start on the hair issue. Life will never be the same, but it will be better. Kids are what life is all about; greatest joys but also the greatest worries. Enjoy each step/phase. Such a blessing. Hpoe mom is doing well too. Patrick

"Bedtime Story" by Jeffrey Whitmore. "Careful, honey, it's loaded," he said, re-entering the bedroom. Her back rested against the headboard. "This for your wife?" "No. Too chancy. I'm hiring a professional." "How about me?" He smirked. "Cute. But who'd be dumb enough to hire a lady hit man?" She wet her lips, sighting along the barrel. "Your wife."

Saw this on a woodworking site i monitor; a bit morbid, but . . . . . Alaskan humour Alaska (where life is tough and humor is dark): The day after his wife disappeared in a kayaking accident, an Anchorage man answered his door to find two grim-faced Alaska State Troopers. "We're sorry Mr. Wilkens, but we have some information about your wife," said one trooper. "Tell me! Did you find her?" Wilkens shouted. The troopers looked at each other. One said, "We have some bad news, some good news, and some really great news. Which do you want to hear first?" Fearing the worst, an ashen Mr. Wilkens said, "Give me the bad news first." The trooper said, "I'm sorry to tell you, sir, but this morning we found your wife's body in Kachemak Bay ." "Oh no!" exclaimed Wilkens. Swallowing hard, he asked, "and what's the good news?" The trooper continued, "When we pulled her up, she had a dozen 25 pound king crabs and 6 good-size Dungeness crabs clinging to her, and we feel you are entitled to a share in the catch." Stunned, Mr. Wilkens demanded, "If that's the good news, what's the great news?" The trooper said, "We're going to pull her up again tomorrow

Story of my life, late to the party . . . . Gary and Allan, hope you are both doing well. Best regards, Patrick

Well Gregg, now that I got educated by the boys here, and got my man card punched, it appears obvious to me that Scott Cousins is one of the ******* these guys have been talking about. I am betting he didn't come out because he was scared of a little of "chin music" as the pitchers call it, which afterall is just part of the sport. Wild pitches straight to the head are just one of the risks of the sort. He needs to man-up! WTF, he is paid big bucks, plays a sport, tackles inside the base path, and now acts like a girl? Flame away guys, I am in one of those moods.
