The floor feedback , was from me kneeling on one knee ,next to the turntable,I let me 6'2'' , 240 lbs hit a little hard. My CD player is a modded one comparable to the" 6 moons reviewers "reference player so it is no "slouch" .For proper context I do not own a vinyl collection anymore ,so all we had to listen to were some albums that I had laying around from the 70's , but the general consenses ,was that the inconvenience of having to get up about every 17 min. to flip the LP's to the next side ,was not something any of us missed . I think most would agree that the last LP I played, the slow one with the saxophone in it had a nice sound to it. So how adout Daed and wife chimeing in ,don't be shy . Dr. Pyro where are you , surely you must have some impressions to post. What did you think of the VRD's , the K-horns etc... Daed owns K-horns and LaScalas ,how about some comments . Here is a link to Daeds vast collection of Klipsch speakers , he also owns Cornwalls www.daeds.net/speakers.html

Craig, The only equipment we rolled ,were the preamps , mine and your blueberry ,and my CD player and DR. Pyro's Sony SACD and that was plenty in one afternoon . started out about 12:30 ,went to about 5:00 , played quite a variety of styles of music . Dr Pyro bought his Sony SACD and some classical music. I wanted preople to be able to sample a wide variety of music styles on the VRDs. Jimi Hendrix , David Crosby , Allman Brothers ,Phil Keaggy , and on and on . Vinyl ,I only had some early "Jesus Freak " albums from the early 70's , you might remember one of the tunes Barry McGuires 'Eve Of Destruction " , ...you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction ... that one goes back to the late 60's . Craig I will call you on Monday morning.

To All, We had a great time ,regretfully oldbuckster was not able to make it . Considering the weather I am really suprised that Dr. Pyro made the trip from Buffalo area , as there was very light freezing rain ,more like freezing mist. Daed and his wife made it ,along with Whamo without his probation officer . As usual there was not enough time in my opinion , I tried to give them a full sample of music. Craigs blueberry preamp ,took a rough ride via Fed Ex arrived with a broken tube ,and other tubes out of their sockets , today I had a slight hum in the left channel , so Craig I dont know exactly the damage it sustained , a loose ground possibly?We did listen to some vinyl ,although I did not have much in the way of vinyl to offer. When I hooked up my pre the VRD's were dead silent . All present commented about the VRD's sounding well , but I would rather let them post their own opinion ,although Daed has not been very vocal as yet on the forum maybe this will cause him to post his impressions, he has quite an extensive collection of Klipsch , K-Horns ,LaScalas and more. I would like those attending to express their opinions ,before I say much more. We ended by going to Piggy Pats barbeque. Willpost more latter on.

Final Head Count 1. Markgod & wife 2.Oldbuckster 3.Dr. Pyro 4.Whamo 5. Daed & wife Equipment . VRD's , 75' K-horns with ALK trachorns , Dean's auricapped modified A networks and BEC tweeters, Craigs blueberry preamp ,I do have a turntable .need some albums if anyone has any to bring. I have a decent CD player a modified Onix equal to a $1700 Cairn "fog" . I also have my Diva M7 preamp , Dr. Pyro is bringing a very nice Sony 9000ES SACD , . The other piece of "special equipment " I had mentioned will not be available ,it has an interesting story behind it though. Make sure you bring some of your own special music to hear. If anyone else has a piece of equipment you would like to bring as far as an a favorite amp ,now is the time to mention it . I do have a seperate room that has a plasma TV ,with an older Sony STR D915 reciever with a DVD player ,a pair of forte and a pair of KG 4 . If anyone wants to bring any concert DVD's . I have one on Neil Young "Heart Of Gold" his latest where he does "Prarie Wind". That should cover it

This Saturday coming up real fast, with a single stall garage all attatched to the house on the right side. Less than 4 miles from Utica Thruway exit ,to my house pretty much a straight shot.You can do map quest and get an aerial photograph , the only problem is the "end "is off , they show the 2nd house on the right as the end , you have to go a bit further then you see a building that sits back off the road ,then my house just beyound it.

Hey guy you should think about making the trip this Saturday ,would get to meet a great bunch of people

OK, less than a week away ,everyone good with the address and phone # .

The crossovers in these are the switchable from "A" to "AA" , they also have the parts hooked up to them that allow you to bring in the tweeter earlier if you buy the BEC tweeter and install them. How do I know this?? I used to own them before I bought the K-Horns.

Actually the California Naturals would be good it is the reduced calorie version for older dogs.[]

Must be nobody cares about the food except Dave[Dr. Pyro] ,he will take barbeque , and the rest I guess will be eating my dogs food ,of coarse I only buy the best dog food available,so you are in for a real treat "California Naturals" [] You know last time Old Buckster visited ,I could have sworn the dogs food dish emptied out real quick that day ,not to mention the silverwear.[6]

Dave, If someone who is coming wants to listen to them ,you are welcome to bring them ,I already have some KG4's and Fortes at the house.

Jay, I don't need it , I left one bracket on ,so you could see what was on the horns originally. The waterhose was an example so you would get the idea of what I was trying to explain . They would not be an identical match size wise,or material wise.

Did not get any e-mail ,and forgive my ignorance but what are the C1s ?

Whamo, Nope, and I'm not telling[]

Jay, It is a support bracket ,to help support the back end of the horn[weight ,wise] ,you could use anything [block of wood ], if you really want it I could mail it to you . Also when you get the drivers ,there is a "washer" gasket ,looks like a rubber washer that you use on a water hose , that goes into the threaded end of the horn, I kept them for my new wood horns, you will need a pair of those probably Bob Crites could point you in the right direction.

Good to hear from you, I will have a "special" piece of equipment to audition ,that has not been spoken of before,a little secret. I should say "special" to some it all depends on their perspective. I mentioned before that everyone should bring along a favorite "CD" and we will try to get in some selections from each persons. For everyone comming, does 12:00 noon sound like a good time. There is a pizza /sub/italian restaurant close to my house and they deliver.We could order off their menu for lunch ,they make a great steak and greens pizza. I am open to all suggestions ,how about a little group participation ,anyone got any ideas ,preferences etc... . If it is not too late after the listening session ,Piggy Pats barbeque is still an option also. www.piggypats.com . Click on the link for a look at their menu etc.. So far it will be me and wife, Old Buckster [possibly Nick], Dr. Pyro , Daed and wife, Whamo.

Whamo, I am wondering if you have seen this change of date ,and if it is still good with you? I have sent you a PM awhile ago ,but have not heard from you,hope all is well.

Jay, Just got home got your check and the Klipsch emblem ,liked them both[] Thanks,

Definitely not a 5 channel . But a 2 channel with the sound of tubes,battery powered .Red Wine Audio Signature 30 amp. Here is a review for anyone interested .If you like the tube sound ,a definite contender . http://www.6moons.com/audioreviews/redwine4/30.html

No problem,thanks for the reply.
