    So, what are you buying from Michael? I mean, there's only one guy in Indy with enough Klipsch stuff to fill a trailer...and then some...LOL

    Need some help and advice from you fine turntable and vinyl guys....First of all let me say that I did not purchase a wickedly expensive turntable for my new foray into vinyl, but purchased a pretty decent unit to get me started, which has been very well reviewed and received. It is an Audio-Technica LP120 with an AT95E cartridge. It is well isolated, has a great cork mat, and a disk weight on the spindle. Also, have tried several albums, both live and studio, and admittedly recorded in the mid to late 70's...I have cleaned them and they are in nice shape. .I am using an Emotiva USP-1 pre-amp, and have played through a good portion of the entire collection of speakers...Cornwall I's, Belle's, La Scala's, and Heresy's. I have also switched amps, and have used my ampsandsound Stereo 15, two other monoblock tube amps, and a Pioneer SX-1250 receiver (without tone controls). In pretty much all configurations, I am experiencing a lack of low end. The mids and high frequencies are very clear, but without the bass to balance, are quite tiring and irritating. I honestly didn't know what to expect, but is this typical of, a modest cartridge, recordings of the era, or a modern SS preamp feeding tube amps/vintage receiver? Would there be a benefit to incorporating a tube pre-amp? Certainly not expecting a magic moment here or a complete resolution, but wondering how to view this and proceed...thanks for your help.

    I guess the real question would be....if you were a hippie, do you have to remain a hippie, in order to still be a hippie? But of course, the answer is....the basic internal quest for groovyness will never die.....

    And your point is what? I'm a software engineer, have a lumberjack beard, and have an enormous collection of vintage axes, although never had a pair of Chuck Taylors....sorry.

    Yes, I sure did, in order to eliminate the nightmare of the UPS store....

    Hate to say it, but I've had nothing but really bad experiences with multiple UPS stores. Without going into detail, I will not use them again, for anything.

    AKA, hippies with disposable income. aka. hipsters. No, sorry, but hippies are definitely NOT hipsters. Two completely different species...

    Well, considering how much Earl got me for his Marantz 1250, he should.... Seriously though, I will be preparing one of my finer bottles of Cabernet for our tribute....

    Could be....move them back and forth and check it out. That poster of Farah Fawcett hanging above them could be a problem too....

    Yea, my UPS driver smirks every time he drops something off too....I think it's corporate policy.

    Well, I think cane looks pretty damn good with walnut....apparently PWK did too....

    Certainly agree with moving the controls to the rear panel.

    i just googled came speaker grill cloth. Seems like a few places to get it? But is it "Heritage Inspired"??? If not, then forget it....
  19. jimjimbo
    Wireless Cornwalls.....that's a new one.

    Very nice indeed. Would like to see a publicly posted guesstimate on pricing....

    I have a pair of phenolic diaphragms, removed from my KG 5.5's.....PM me if interested...only 1 MILLION DOLLARS!! OK, maybe not that much....seriously, PM me.
  22. jimjimbo
    But will they have consecutive serial numbers????
  23. jimjimbo
    Where is "here"? I can put in a link. "here" was "here" before I realized "here" was the Garage Sale section....that's why I said "doh!" Never mind.

    This is a good thing, and thank you for starting this thread. I think it would also be worth mentioning that April is not too far away, and that if folks are thinking of selling/buying/transporting items, then that planning needs to start soon, and not wait till the event is near. Wondering if selling/buying specifically for Hope should stay in Garage sale, or perhaps go here? Just a thought. Thanks again. Um, wait, this is Garage Sale....doh!!

    That's all I needed to know. thank you.
