  1. So why did you marry that withered up ol' sea hag, Paul?

    Christ, she's uglier than a mud fence!

    Must be the reason for all the bitterness.

    That's OK, I'll do you a favor and ban myself.

    I haven't really contributed much to the Forum lately, and no one really replies to my posts.

    And BTW, I'm not a rat-fink. So don't worry about me snitchin' on you.

    It's been fun, but it's time to move on........

    Later!

  2. I live in Eastern Washington.

    A couple BB's in town for Synergy series.

    You have to travel to the west side of the state for Reference series.

    You have to go to Portland, Oregon for the nearest Heritage dealer. 300 miles away.

    Magnolia Hi-Fi sold RF series, but no more.

    I thought Huppin's in Town here was a dealer, but Klipsch doesn't list them as one.

    Yay.

  3. Yikes! Just hose down the ol' Cornwalls down at the car wash, good as new.

    I think you can wet down paper cones to a point, but not like what that guy explains.

    You can do it to straighten a warped cone, it ain't easy.

    To completely soak it? It would seem like you would ruin the voice-coil.

    Why didn't he just blow them off real good with air?

  4. I mailed out a USPS money for a pair of speaker drivers a Month ago. Still no speakers, so don't feel alone.

    I emailed the guy Yesterday. No replies yet.

    If he fails to reply after a few more times, I'm going to email and ask him if I should just turn the in the money order receipt for a refund at the post office.

    Heidi bought a spoonholder from a ebay seller on Jan 2nd.

    Paid with PayPal, and the seller sent the item priority mail.

    She finally recieved the spoon in the mail this last Friday.

    So you gotta factor in the mail system.

    Been running SS for a long time on the Khorns and can't wait to finish my 10WPC PP 2A3 amp to really hear how good they are supposed to sound. Glass is class........

    If the PP 2A3 is as open and dynamic as this SET I have,(which I'm pretty sure) then you are going to be a happy camper.

    You'll find out that SS on Khorn's is boring and flat, after the PP 2A3 audition.

    You probably won't be too thrilled with SS and Klipsch again, unless you buy the REAL exotic SS amplifiers.

    And unless your listening area is really large, boogie-factor shouldn't be a problem with a 2A3 PP.

    And you will also gain experience building a kit amp.

    And if that really sparks more interest in the circuit topologies, you have attained enough or close enough knowledge to home-brew a tube amp.

    Limited by only how much cash you want to throw in to the project.

    But OTOH, kit's can be more of a economic outee than a home-brew, depending how deep you go.

    My two sense....

  6. "So the mesh anodes on these particular balloon glass 300Bs are nothing more than a prettier lightshow than on the standard shoulder (or coke-bottle) glass 300Bs with the conventional solid metal anodes?"

    The shape of the glass envelope shouldn't make any sort of difference at all, the internal structures(electrodes)inside the tube are what make the differences.

    I'd do like you said, just listen to the tubes that come with the amp, they are probably voiced and set-up with the amplifier topology of the Bez amp in mind.

    Save your sheckels while you burn those up for a higher quality 300B down the road.

    There always Ebay....

    Alas, this is not a poor man's hobby...15.gif

    It can be, but it depends how deep you want to go with the hobby.

    There a few old-timers out there building tube amps for the price of a can of dog-food, it's from years of collecting parts.
